I mean it's Banjo Kazooie... They're the perfect choice for a mascot fighter like this.

According to Sakurai, THE most requested character of all time (as of Smash 4's post-release days). Representation for a huge franchise and a weapon unlike any others.

It's stupid, but that's why I love it. I like playing as characters I'd never get a chance to play as in any other game.

I've never even played Minecraft, but I do value seeing some unique styles and movesets.

I like Persona 5, and I like Joker as a design. Using a gun and a dagger and magic makes him a pretty versatile fighter.

Character from a fighting game with a very wacky play style makes her a more interesting choice than most fighting game characters. Plus it's a mainline Nintendo game that didn't have a fighter yet.

I'm glad they added other heroes as alts, cos I always thought DQXI's Hero looked very plain and boring. Even though it's the only DQ I've played. As a fighter he seems fairly okay. I actually do love how they made a turn based RPG menu as a move.

Look FF7 is my favourite game of all time, but Sephiroth is like the MOST boring choice you could have picked, except like...Zach. The game is overrun with anime swordsmen to the point it's a meme. Give us Barret damnit.

Character from a "normal" fighting game that I don't particularly care about. Nothing says boring to me like trying to make a moveset in a party fighter than using a source from a game that is the same genre, but much more down-to-Earth. At least Tekken is a big name though, so seeing it get some representation isn't awful.

See above, but now not from a big name.

Never played their game. They don't stand out to me at all.

Fuck off.

I can say something nice about EVERY other character. But not this one.
