for every Wario in Brawl, there was a Lucario. A B-Lister. A character who was more or less added because of a new game. Lucario, I felt, was the big blemish Brawl had, similar to how many people believe Lucina and Dark Pit are Smash 4's blemishes. Who in the sweet fuck was this Jackal looking bugger? And why in the holy hell was he in Brawl? I never understood Lucario, and I didn't get why he was chosen over Mewtwo.
It didn't matter though, because I was very satisfied with Brawl as a whole. Even if Lucario stuck out like a sore thumb in my eyes, I loved the game for what it was. My fanboy cred sort of helped me overlook a lot of Brawl's faults, which there are plenty. And I played it a lot over the years, eventually switching over to the Project M mod because it offered a better balance.
The Smash 4 roster isn't perfect, it deserves its critique, but we've been at this an entire year now, can we just accept that characters like Rosalina, Bowser Jr., Shulk, Greninja, Ryu, etc deserve their spots just as much as Wario, Diddy, Lucario, Sonic, etc? Even Cloud, a character who's never really been on a Nintendo console, fits pretty well within the diverse movepools of Smash. Similar to a certain other 3rd Party character in Brawl, eh?
But this is all subjective, and my opinion doesn't really affect anyone here. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to learn the Yoshi/Corrin matchup.
