Super Smash Bros. Fans Divided About Mario Character Being in the Next Game

Over on the Super Smash Bros. Reddit page, there is a post dedicated to explaining why Paulina is likely to be added to the Super Smash Bros. roster, given her many and consistent appearances in Mario and Donkey Kong games recently. In other words, it feels like Nintendo has been promoting the character whenever it gets the chance.

In the comments, many agree with the theory, however, not everyone is keen on the idea of Paulina being added. Reasons cited include there being too many Mario characters and the perception that she would not have a very unique or interesting moveset.

Do you believe that, due to Pauline's recent appearances in the Mario and DK games, she is the character most likely to enter Smash to represent one of these two franchises?

“Yes. She has the best chances now,” reads the top comment on the post. A second comment adds: “I don’t know much about Pauline. I personally would prefer Toad or Waluigi because I think they would be easier to create a unique and enjoyable moveset for.

“She’s probably one of the least interesting Mario characters they could in my opinion, adds a third Super Smash Bros. fan in the comments. “It’s not that I don’t like her in her own, but she’s just not a character I want as a fighter in Smash.

Meanwhile, a fourth fan further adds: “She has a very high chance lately, and that is very exciting to me.”
