I really don't get SSB's fixation with guest characters. I mean, I get it in the commercial sense (cross-promotion), but what's the rationale for choosing a guest character over a Nintendo character? Like, what's the basis for characters like Ken and Shadow to turn up? Slightly less weird than the likes of Snake and Cloud, sure, but, huh?
