I remember being in 8th grade when Melee came out, and reading all the about it and discovering the "rumored" unlockable characters, and I was so bummed. Marth, Roy? Who were those guys?

Well, six years later, and I still play that game. Needless to say, it's not such a big deal. People who moan about how some clone got in instead of whatever character they wanted should keep in mind that the amount of resources and time it would take to create a new character would likely prevent that character from getting in altogether. So what would you rather have--Falco, Wolf, Gannondorf, and Toon Link, or 31 characters?
