Does Mr Game & Watch have a personality? Does he have a background? Hell he doesnt even have a real name other than "Mr" He's in the same boat.

Are you kidding me? He has a driving motivation behind his each of his games, plus an overarching personality of an overly worrisome workaholic. The Games are named after him, your argument is like saying Mario or Zelda don't have names because of what their games are called.

Since when does hugely popular = finding a way to get a fully playable character in = the only way to rep a game? I can name quite a few games that didn't need a playable character to be represented in the game. Sort of the whole reason behind assist trophies + a few stages.
Did you forget what you're arguing? It's not about how the franchises are represented, we're talking about which franchises are supposedly significant enough to be represented, and what gives them that significance.

Only if she gets some sort of background or a personality. Hell, they didn't care enough to even give her a name, even a name would would be something. In Wii Fit she isn't even a character, she's just an avatar, you have to have characterization to be a character and you have to be a character before you can be a significant character.
Her name is Wii Fit Trainer. She's a health nut, and rather stoic. She obviously leads a very healthy lifestyle, and wants to help others lead such a lifestyle as well, thus her job as a trainer. In Smash Bros, she likes to use moves that will contribute to her health rather than moves that would give her an edge on the competition. From that, it's logical to assume that she doesn't take the actual fighting too seriously, and would rather have an enjoyable time while bettering herself than try to just beat her opponents.

Or are you trying to imply that simple personalities are not personalities at all? Because that would be almost as stupid as implying that a character requires a personality to be a character.

Is :smile: not a little character? Choose carefully, there is a wrong answer here.

That isn't her personality though. No where in Wii Fit does it say she is a health nut, any more than workout videos say that everyone that appears there are health nuts as well. Being stoic is a certain way to react to things, not reacting is not the same as being stoic. Wii Fit Trainer is a title not a name. Miss Health is a name, Lady Trainer could even be a name, Wii Fit Trainer isn't. You don't know she leads a very healthy life-style, you're projecting that on her because her working out is the only thing you even remotely know about her, you don't know the REASON behind her working out. You can't use anything that you only know about her because of Smash Bros 4 as a reason she should had been considered for playable status in Smash Bros 4. You can't assume personality traits by the way, that's projecting, and is no way a real personality, but one you have created to make it appear you are right.

:smile: is not a character, we do not know reasons behind it's smile or what kind of smile it is even wearing. It is a representational avatar that any individual may use in anyway they see fit because there is no correct way to represent it. i.e. It could be smiling because it is high, or maybe due to personal trauma at a young age it smiles instead of weeps because it would be yelled at if it cried, and it wishes to be never yelled at again, perhaps it is just a simple head that smiles when happy. We don't know because it is not a character any more than my shirt is.

I see what's going on here

You dropped the ball with the whole Game & Watch thing. There's no way you can understand G&W's simple personality while somehow still being too goddamn stupid to understand the same kind of simple personality in WFT

You get points for making me take you seriously there for a sec

The fact that these people are taking regular time out of their schedules suggests that they are health nuts. If you literally need characterization spoon-fed to you rather than comprehending subtlety, then there's a reason video game stories are so terrible.

Who says a title can't be a name? I don't think Meta Knight got that name from his star parents.

"Just because she works out all the time, doesn't mean she leads a healthy lifestyle!"
Do you have any idea how stupid you sound right now?

See: Villager. Characters don't need to have personalities to be important, they need to be representative of Nintendo. Like how Wii Fit sold almost as many copies as Super Mario Galaxy and Brawl combined.

every character in ssb is either a fan fav or an IP representative; sometimes both (i.e. megaman)
wft fits in just as well as marth or lucario, not as a "beacon of light"

it's that simple

Personality is connected to your likes and actions.
Wii fit Trainer is a health-nut who likes to work out and help others do so as well.
From this bit of information we can obviously tell that Likes have an effect on what you do, which also has an effect on who you are. Hence that's what her personality is. Stop arguing about whether a character has too much or too little personality because it really doesn't matter in the slightest.
Personally I'm pumped to play as her, much more than Mega Man.

"Pic of the day. That item that brings victory one step closer...the Smash Ball! Of course everyone wants it! Come to think of it, I haven't introduced any of the Final Smashes yet... Then again, if I introduced every single one, it'd take over a month's worth of posts."
