“smash has too many characters, they need to cut a ton to make the competitive scene better”
i dont think anyone has said this
If anything people have said having such a huge variety of characters is pointless when tier list exists and everyone only picks Bayonetta, Zero Suit Samus, Fox, Falco, Captain Falcon Ganondorf, Shiek and Diddy in tournaments. But historically this has proven to be wrong as other players rise up picking out of the “META” to surprise everyone.
