^ as I mentioned in my previous post, Project M was already at a slippery slope. We're talking about a franchise that composes of multiple Nintendo IPs that have the likeness of the characters, original music, original renders and models, etc. being represented. These IPs, along with Smash itself, are treated as sacred by Nintendo. That's just how they go about their business. And that's not to mention the third-party series that joined in (can't imagine how a mod of the current build of Smash 4 would have survive with Cloud, alone, being part of the roster).
Again, both sides have decent points so it's kinda complicated.
