Here's hoping, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a backdrop for the Galaxy stage either.
She was in two games that were better and more popular than anything those characters have been in?
She Shadow the Hedgehog'ed.
( she came in and is more popular than everyone you like)
If given the option, I would assume that Nintendo would use the better looking HD footage to show off their game.
they probably want people to buy the Wii U version and hope they forget there's a 3DS version.
Super Mario Smash and Friends.

Why should the reason people buy things bother you?
Or he'd rather represent Super Mario Galaxy with a newer character?

My problem with Rosalina is that her design is way too similar to Peach. The only major difference is the color of her dress, which barely counts when smash has alt color schemes anyway.
With Mario and Luigi they made Luigi taller and thinner in addition to his color scheme. That's how you create unique characters. They need unique silhouettes. Rosalina is very difficult to tell apart from Peach, probably because female characters all need to have the exact same body type. Only male characters are allowed variation. At the very least, they should have given her a different hair color....

Its the handheld version of a game with a console version.
Draw your own conclusions.
But IIRC they 3ds game with have a different focus, so it might just be different.
I honestly still don't see you making a point here. Nintendo could come up with a moveset for any of their characters no matter who they are. The difference here is that they're adding a boring character just for the sake of representing the Galaxy games.
If movesets were all that matters, then all characters should be nothing but visible bounding boxes that play differently. Video games are more than that, and Rosalina is just a boring character.
Installbase wise, the 3DS is likely to sell a lot more.
Fuck it. Was a release timeframe given?

*yawn* utilise Namco's involvement and get some Tekken characters involved.
Exactly. Put like this, it's the very definition of a no-brainer. (Although Daisy was in Super Mario Land, so not JUST spin-offs)
She's also pretty visually distinct. Daisy's looks more like Peach with a very unpleasant looking yellow colour scheme.

)Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
Has a Tekken game been released on Nintendo consoles before?
The problem here is that's completely subjective, and not much help.
Exactly. So why not market the Wii U version more. They already know the game will sell a shitton. Now they're trying to use the game to sell the Wii U.
Too true, if you made these silhouettes, I don't think I could tell them apart myself.

Subjective, she is probably more popular than everyone you like. So that would be justification for her not being boring to them, and justification for her conclusion.
Like legitimately. Dat ShadowItis.

She's from which Ninty franchise? I don`t remember her.
F-Zero.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
one on the GBA, one on the 3DS, and there was one at launch for the wiiU, how could you forget D:
3DS got one as well.

not sure where you're getting the assumption that they can just pull movesets out of thin air no matter what. just because they've managed to do it for some odd characters doesn't mean they can do it for everyone. in fact, the presence of clones directly contradicts this.
Rosalina is nothing like a clone of Peach.
-Her silhouette is different, as her dress has an entirely different shape, her hairstyle is radically different, she is considerably larger and she carries a wand
-She does not walk, she floats above the ground like Mewtwo, because she is a space princess
-She has a baby Luma helper, which also clearly differentiates her from peach

That's not a fair comparison because they're from different games with different art styles. It's like comparing Charlie Brown to Captain Planet.
Instead, look at Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina. They all have the same barbie-doll body with slight variations (Dress color, hair color, eyes).
She's a hidden boss in Yoot Saito's Odama on the Gamecube.

why? half the appeal of this sort of game is that it consists of characters you wouldn't see in a fighting game. using Namco's involvement to get some fighting game characters is incredibly boring.
She's more interesting than Daisy, who's nothing but a glorified Peach clone.
The only thing she could add to smash is... sports equipment? Sweet.

Rosalina is essentially a Goddess who can float, create force fields, grow and shrink in size and controls a group of chubby star people to do her bidding.
Daisy is a tomboyish Peach clone who plays sports with the Mario crew sometimes.
There's one boring character there, and it's not the Goddess with powers.

You can't count Mario and Luigi's difference and then disregard Peach and Rosalina's. Hell, the delta between them is more extreme just because of their hair alone. That, and in action Rosalina would obviously just have luma constantly flying around her.

Totally thought the reveal trailer was for Mario Kart, though I am pretty jazzed about these new characters.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Don't fret yet. I think 3DS is going to be awesome.
ooh man.
Mario and Luigi are way more similar than Peach and Rosalina will ever be, especially in the SSB games. so, blond hair + a crown = clone?
this reasoning is as bad as saying Jigglypuff shouldn't be a proper character because she looks a lot like Kirby and can't be picked apart from the silhouettes, while ignoring the fact they posses completely different movesets.
New main.
Gods yes.
