Yeah, I just don't get why Dr. Mario and Dark Link would get separate character slots, unless their differences how they play are akin to characters like Lucina and Ganon who are move set clones, but still play noticeably differently. If they don't I'd find it curious why they'd get their own slot but baby bowser's alts would be all the koopalings, who I can't imagine would all play the same except to save time and effort.
EDIT: I get that people really like Dr. Mario, but he does not deserve his own slot for what amounts to cosmetic changes(unless they majorly reworked him, which I would find a bit silly.) They've shown off a lot of characters that turned out to be assist trophies that I would have much rather had as characters as opposed to the majority of these supposed new ones.
