Well I shouldn't have used absolutes when saying that, however Klonoa being forgotten is just one of the reasons I wanted him to be included in smash. Sakurai is looking characters that would have unique attacks and stand out from the rest of the cast. Klonoa comes from a type of game that allows him to have a very diverse moveset and besides just his attacks Klonoa even looks different from the other characters. (not a human) Though some people may say he looks similar to sonic, but honestly that's just because he's an animal with cartoon eyes. Speaking of obscure characters though, obscurity won't completely stop sakurai from putting that character in the game; just look at the ice climbers. They're obscure characters that people only remember from melee, not even their own game. The only reason they were taken out was due to 3ds software limitations.
