To be fair, the fanbase is there, though I think it's largely negligible with regards to how it influenced Sakurai's choices. I think it just so happened to be the character Sakurai wanted for the game and it coincidentally overlapped with the inherent fanbase's desires.Is Duck Hunt really a highly popular and requested choice? I see people saying Sakurai picks characters based off popularity, but I have not once, ever, on any website by any person, see someone say "I wish the Duck Hunt dog got in the new Smash Bros.! He's my favorite Nintendo character ever!"
While being popular defintiely gets you a benefit, I think Sakurai just does whatever the hell he wants whether it's popular or not. Remember tripping, and how many people wanted tha in the game.
I think Dark Pit is much the same: he wasn't added because he's popular, but he does have his fans, whom are understandably very very happy to see him in the game. And good for them, y'know?
