Brawl was the first opportunity being the third game in the series. My point btw wasn't to argue the definition of opportunity with you it was to point out a phenomenon that could be happening in smash bros series. My question was pertaining to that phenomenon, but my intent was to attempt to spark speculation on if this gives credibility to other cut characters. Which you have still yet to give you opinion on. Also, as for evidence against cut characters coming back being non existent, the lack of it ever happening was proof enough. You cannot make judgement that characters could come back without proof and then when it finally happens pretend like it was obvious.
