Seriously, why is King K. Rool NOT in Smash as his own character??

Well no one at nintendo ever said that, you are just speculating, I trust sakurai on this one

I agree that they didn't take effort, but you are blind if you think they didn't have to reach a character quota of fighters in the game.  They used the clones because they didn't have the creativity, manpower or time to make 3-4 completely new fighters

Smash bros 4 has one of the most if not the most characters in a fighting game, its now extending over 50 characters and more with DLC coming, They have fan faves like Mega Man, pacman, and suprise characters like shulk, duck hunt, bowser JR wich and villager to just name a few wich all burst with creativity. If you are saying SAkurai and his team didnt put the most effort in this then you dont know what you are saying. I also want King K rool in smash, Lucina , dark pit and DR mario didnt eliminate any other spots for any characters. They added them extra fanservice. Sakurai is not a man who makes half finished games. The character roster is the best we ever had no questions asked.

That's cherrypicking.  That's like saying Mario BaseBall has the most playable characters of any game...

It doesn't take a huge amount of effort to make a character for smash, look at all the hacks M that have literally hundreds of characters, many of which are made by 1 person that have drastically different movesets.  Let's compare them to making a soul caliber or BlazBlue character that have hundreds of possible strings, 5 super moves, 8 special attacks, and multiple directional inputs...It's not a lot of work to design a character for smash compared to other fighting games..

Sure the rooster is big, but none of the older characters but maybe 3 have recieved noticable updates or new attacks.  They are exactly carbon copies.  I'm saying the game was rushed, not exactly halfassed, just rushed to shit, and it shows in the content of the game, very few new trophies, very few new models, very few new assist trophies, very few new stages, removal of a huge story mode part of the game, just to name a few.   The clones were most definitely added to buff the pre-DLC rooster of the game.  If you think they would have sent the game out with the just 8 new guys you can't be serious.  The clones were definitely a nessessity to the game.
