You're really starting to irritate me, and I think that's what you want to happen. I am not saying at all that Sakurai has ever visited this website, and I did not say that has ever visited this website. You only said that I did. I said "If, by chance,", meaning that I am not sure if he has or not. Stop putting words in my mouth.

"...the Inkling is barely a gunner character." Really? Then how do you explain the Splattershot and the Splat Charger, 50% of the Inklings' arsenal? I would call that a "gunner character". Next, people have been suggesting things such as thrown projectiles. I wonder who else has thrown projectiles? Hmm... Mega Man?

There are only two gunners in Smash: Samus and Mega Man, and for obvious reason. It's hard to create a "gunner character" with its unique touch. Samus and Mega both have a move where they charge their blaster or fire projectiles, and it's easy to see for that reason why more majority gunners don't exist. Yes, Fox, Falco and Zero Suit Samus have guns, but it's not their primary weapon, and as stated before, an Inkling's primary majority weapon is a gun. Sakurai would have to pull a rabbit out of his hat to make a third gunner that isn't like the other two.

There are triple the amount of unique characters because of how Super Smash Bros. works. It's not one franchise being represented. It's dozens. And because of so many characters in 3DS/WiiU, a lot of clones have risen. You could make an argument that another clone won't do anything because so many exist already, but I want something fresh and exciting. Ryu was fresh and exciting, while Roy was just nice to see again. Mega Man, Pac-Man and Duck Hunt were interesting and fun, while Dr. Mario and Lucina were boring. Gamers want exciting, not boring, and if Sakurai can make the Inklings fresh and exciting, then I'm all ears.

And what you don't understand is that I'm not completely closed on the idea of Inklings just like how you are completely closed on the idea of no Inklings, or so it seems. I apologize if I'm putting words in your mouth like someone else in this comment thread...
