Personally speaking, I never enjoyed these smash speculation, theories or leaks because the fan base always seem to have a "holier than thou" mentality. So to see a reveal like that is just so damn funny. I'm actually gonna main it alongside Megaman and The Belmonts.

You see, I agree with you for the most part. This is probbly Sakurai's trump card for everyone screaming "I want Issic," "I want Geno," "I want Heihachi." It's a good out of no where character that nobody saw coming, Like Mr. Game & Watch, Wii Fit Trainer, R.O.B., and Duck Hunt. It's a thing that Sakurai does for each game. Also, this feels like a response to the Bandanna Dee requests.

That being said, Why Perana Plant? Why not Tatanga from Super Mario Land, Mach Rider, Excitebike, Mike from Startropics? You have a grand catalog of games and IPs you can pull from. Are you telling me that Nester, someone that, granted, not a lot of people outside of the US is going to know much about, but still has a big impact on a bunch of gamers, isn't a good pick?

I'm happy to have a new fighter no matter who it is, but to paraphrase someone, "With Piranha Plant as a fighter, it opens the gate to have a Tektite from Zelda, a Metroid, a Motobug from Sonic, and a Metool from Megaman as fighters." Why does Klaptrap have to be an assist trophy but Piranha Plant doesn't? I just don't want it to turn into Mario Party, where you have the main characters, the main villains, and then random enemy minions to fill up the roster.

Yeah, I did like it because it definitely was the WTF Character. It just doesn't make sense and I love it.

As for the Why Piranha Plant? It's that line of thinking that I never liked when revealing a fighter, especially when it comes to Smash. Like take Tekken 7, where they revealed that Negan from the Walking Dead is going to become a playable character, the reception was basically "Why Negan? Why not this Tekken Veteran or this Reasonable Guest Fighter from such and such". It's most likely done because it's just fun having a trump slot. I just like thinking that even though I will most likely never play Isabelle, Ridley, Inkling or King K. Rool, It is comforting that there IS somebody out there having the time of thier life finally getting the chance to play thier main fighter, no matter how dumb that perceived character is(looking at Piranha Plant).

EDIT: I will say that even if it was a more obscure Generic Enemy or odd Character from a different medium(Ex.Nester), I honestly feel that it would have produce the same result for the fanbase. Just because it wasn't a Character that garner traction during the oh so wonderful Hype Train.
