But here's the thing, Smash Brothers is a franchise about Nintendo characters beating the crap out of each other. Thus, obscure Nintendo characters are fair game. The likes of Sega or Konami characters appearing are just little special additions. Why go with obscure characters for companies that aren't originally intended to be in the game? They didn't choose Snake or Sonic because they're obscure, quite the opposite. Snake and especially Sonic are video game powerhouses. They're top tier characters in the world of video games. There's no such thing as another top tier Sega character that isn't one of the main Sonic characters as well. Anybody else from Sega's line-up would be too obscure for the average gamer and definently too obscure for a character who wasn't even intended to be in the game in the first place. I know, Marina is too obscure as well, I dunno why she was choosen. I know we are not Nintendo and we could add Master Cheif, Naruto and Mr. Clean if we wanted to, but to some extent, we have to at least be a bit realistic. Sega has no one of any other importance to video games. It's just, Sonic, his gang and then a bunch of C-List characters that occasionally get together to play Tennis.
