This person is actually saying that Sakurai giving fans what they have wanted for so long is terrible. I have never in my life seen someone so fucking ignorant in my life.
"Sakurai is doing what fans want and not what he wants" Yes, because I'm fairly certain that Sakurai wanted Greninja, who was explicitly shown off to him behind closed doors in 2012 for him to make a moveset pitch for him to be in Smash 4, and that Lucas* and Roy and Corrin who were put in Smash to promote their upcoming games.
"Nintendo fans are a whiny nostalgic bunch." He says, complaining about a Newcomer who debuted like not even half a decade ago.
"Sakurai is bending to the whim of his fans" No he's fucking not. He's outright said he, like other Smash games, is treating this like his last, which is why your stupid ass is able to play as your "old mains." Also lol, they're claiming three characters are in just because "the fans want them in"? Get bent, loser. The man can do what he wants.
"Cry loud enough and beg hard enough and your character WILL get into Smash" That was what the ballot was for. Literally, the ballot was used in the future and Sakurai has stated this in Famitsu.
"Every Character so far has been WIDELY requested by a loud niche audience, and it’s hurting the fun." Those words do not mix at all. Also, K. Rool has constantly and consistently been a candidate people have wanted even in Melee and Brawl's time.
"I’d rather have random Echo’s like Lucina and Ricther over Dark Samus and Chrom." If you can't spell a character's name correctly while bitching about a roster, your argument should be invalidated.
"The general gaming audience doesn’t give a fuck about an ugly Crocodile King that hasn’t been relevant since the early 2000’s. The average gamer doesn’t care about an oversized ugly purple dragon that hasn’t been featured in a main game in almost a decade. The average gamer doesn’t know who Isabelle is or care for her. " First of all, I refuse to believe not a lot of people don't know these characters. K. Rool has been super notable for multiple reasons, and one of them is a cartoon for God's sake. Ridley has been the butt of everyone's jokes, to the point that being "too big" is a joke reason outside of Smash and Nintendo communities. And Isabelle? That's a hard doubt.
Also, that's a big thing. "The average gamer doesn't know this game character."
So you just HAPPENED to know who Roy was, a character who's game wasn't released until AFTER Melee came out, and is also a Japan exclusive. You happened to know Marth, who's games have and almost all have still been Japan exclusive. You happened to know Ness and Lucas, who's games aren't available in the UK for the former and the West altogether for the latter. You just happened to know who characters who legitimately have not appeared in regions due to unavailability.
Fuck off.
*Lucas was meant to appear in Melee, but due to mass delays for the GBA port from N64 Mother 3, Roy was chosen instead, which similarly to Mother 3 was originally an N64 game.
