I'm with Mcdamon. Just because Fatal Fury isn't as widely known as Street Fighter doesn't make it any less impactful (plus as far as fighting game representation in Smash goes, Capcom and Bandai Namco are already represented). If we're just going on impact on video gaming in general, it's amazing that Sans even got included as a costume since Undertale is ultimately just an indie title.

Bear in mind that on top of popularity/demand and the technicality of movesets, another major factor of inclusion in the roster is likely the legal hurtles of borrowing another company's IP. Just because whoever's in charge might be on board doesn't mean it's feasible in terms of negotiations between entities.

Plus every time they include a fighter (and associated Spirits, stages, music, etc), there's an incredible amount of detail included for fans to find. Speaking as a Persona fan, I was blown away at not only Joker, but the subtle nods and inclusions in both the included stage and spirit board fights. The same can be said for Hero (sidenote, can't wait for DQXI on Switch) and Banjo (anyone else notice Kirby's copy of Kazooie is actually a plush?). I honestly hate when people say they could be doing more because Sakurai looks more dead with every Direct in trying to please everyone. What you might see as misplaced effort in perfecting something small could be greatly appreciated by someone else.

If you don't want to play Home Run, that's fine, but considering how iconic Sandbag is to the series, it makes sense to include it again.

So yeah, if you aren't excited about the dlc, then again, that's fine, but there are plenty of people who are. And if you wanna talk about fighters "no one was asking for", I just have one thing to say: Piranha Plant.
