The Real Gamer
Smash Hero
And I'm not kidding. 3 Smash Bros games later Sakurai is still able to throw out **** from left field that literally nobody saw coming.
And not only was it a character nobody saw coming, it was a RELEVANT character that nobody saw coming.
I keep reading comments regarding her as a "wasted character slot" because she's not a major name along the lines of Ridley, Palutena, Little Mac, etc. Well the last time I checked she is the star of a top 10 selling Wii game of all time. The only other discussed newcomer that could match that popularity are Mii's themselves, but unlike WFT, Mii's are somewhat expected (though unwanted) characters and just couldn't fit the niche that WFT does. So to be politically correct she and her Wii Fit games are arguably more relevant than a good majority of the "wanted" newcomers.
I'll repeat Sakurai is much smarter than I gave him credit for.
For the haters:
