My contribution to the Krystal for Smash Bros. campaign hoping to promote her to be included in possible future DLC, or a future Smash game. You can also kind of consider this a sequel to the prior Krystal/K Rool pic I did :P

She was the most demanded character to be playable in the 3rd game and they said “Nah, let’s go with Wolf and give him the exact same things as Fox and Falco but heavier and slower.”
Don’t they realize how popular and beloved she is? Just because the game “didn’t do well” doesn’t mean you should scrap her character and upset millions.

Yeah she was going to be in Brawl, but they went for Wolf b/c 'he's easier to animate' (The Ubisoft 'women are tough to animate' excuse).
Then she was a highly demanded character in the Smash Ballot (supposedly) but Sakurai had already started on Bayonetta before the Ballot, and was like 'oh uh, Bayo won'.
And then with Ultimate, I dunno. Her Assist Trophy is already practically a full character. They probably started on her but shelved her. Gotta make room for another 10 anime sword fighter dudes!
And yet, somehow, K Rool had like.... thousands of fans band together to get him in the game. Nothing against K Rool, but I had no idea he even had a fanbase, much less the Donkey Kong IP as a whole had much of one. So weird.

You’d think that after THREE consecutive game releases of people wanting her as a playable character that they’d at least throw us a bone. I remember that voting campaign for Smash 4, and at the end felt like it was a waste of time. You can’t please everyone, obviously, but still, she has enough of a following to be iconic.
That being said, the art is awesome, Kad! ^^ The crown at the end of her staff is such a confident touch!

You know what, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the real intention, and I'm not one to just assume they'll actually listen to their fanbase. They just put in the characters that are the most marketable to whatever JRPGs are most popular at the time, hence why there are so many playable Fire Emblem characters...
