Second Chance Round
SUPER MARIO BROS.
SECOND CHANCE ROUND
No one is perfect, least of all me. For roughly three years, I combed over the Mario series with a fine-toothed comb, pinpointing each and every thing that each character could possibly do in a potential Smash moveset, and overall I think I did a pretty good job. But still, there are those questions, those rough patches, those insecurities that have been pestering and niggling at the back of my brain for the year or so since I finished: certain characters that I had turned down, but as time passed, my uncertainty over the decision grew more and more.
So, this is the second chance round. Below, I have compiled a list of all characters who have been bothering me. For the next couple of weeks, I will go through them, scouring over each of their personal appearances and giving them one more shot. If I say YES, they will be added to the roster immediately, complete with character card. If I say NO, that's it. They're done. I will never consider them again, barring new material adding heavily to them. On some occasions, I may even be left at a standstill and at that point, I will leave it up to a poll. Here they are:
1.
Eggplant Men

Viruses
