I don't really get why everybody is so against Duck Hunt Dog. I think he could have a really fun and unique playstyle. He would run around and move and bound like a dog obviously but also he could throw clay pigeons. Throw real pigeons, use the sniper scope thing. There's a lot you could do with him.

I guess most of the reason is that he'd be better off as an assist trophy. But I mean who are we to decide that? Mr Game and Watch would be better as an assist. Rob would be better as an assist. Wii Fit Trainer would be better as an assist. And believe it or not Captain Falcon would be better as an assist. Either because they are weird and unpredictable newcomers or are from a relatively unknown franchise.

But that's the thing about this game. Having weird characters that make no sence and have no reason to be in are part of what makes Smash great. Duck Hunt Dog has my vote.
