I Dream of Twilight modblog, Actually no, I still have to completely disagree...

Actually no, I still have to completely disagree with you on that. Because one, there are actually some differences to Dark Pit from the Melee "clones". Two, how is he the laziest clone design in the entire series? Since it seems to me that you're just pulling that so called "fact" out of your butt. Lastly, how could you say that Kid Icarus did not deserve three characters (considering that Uprising is one of my favorite video games of all time)?

Here’s the link of some research done with the two.

Yes it’s from Smashboards. I know you said this in your longer message:

“Now if you can prove to me that such information actually came from people who work at Nintendo and not from some stuck-up elitists at Smash Boards who do no research on the games whatsoever, then I’ll gladly concede in defeat.”

I’m sorry but I don’t think official Nintendo guides are going to ever be as in-depth as fans who take a look at every detail. And heck the thread I linked discovered at least one more difference in terms of the forward tilt. Congratulations! That’s still only 3 minor differences not counting the Final Smash. And these people are doing research.

“How could you say that Kid Icarus did not deserve three characters for the newest Smash Bros. game (considering that Uprising is one of my favorite video games of all time)?”

I know Uprising is a good game, but I’m not considering just one game. I mean the entire franchise. I haven’t played it, but I’ve watched a full Let’s Play and looks like a really good game. But I’m still hesitant on saying it deserves as much representation it got in Smash 4. If Sakurai had not directed Uprising, I doubt it’d have as much in Smash 4 as it does.

“And lastly, why hate on Palutena, since she’s actually one of my favorite mains so far?”

I don’t hate Palutena. I honestly warmed up to her after the last E3 or even technically as far back as the Smash Direct last April (That direct basically screamed PALUTENA IS A NEWCOMER with how many clues it had). Though I was more excited for both the Mii Fighters and Pac-Man that were announced in the same day.

I think Palutena is really all Uprising needed in terms of the roster. Since alot of her moves are related to that game. Dark Pit as a seperate character feels like overkill. Given how much Dark Pit and Pit are pretty much 95% similar in both character design and how they fight in Smash 4. Why wouldn’t just making him an alt for Pit similar to Olimar having Alph and Bowser Jr. having the Koopalings be better again?
