Hope I'm not coming off as super nitpicky here, but I feel your point on why Sega doesn't have great representation in ''Smash'' could've been stronger. Any objections are welcome.

:"Sega by IP ownership" is indeed in reference to the fact that Platinum develops the series, and, unlike Sonic Team, are not fully related to Sega. I knew that there was some shenanigans happening with Bayonetta's copyright (especially after Nintendo saved the sequel at the expense of being Wii U-exclusive), but it wasn't in reference to that, especially since I know full well how Sega likes to outsource development as of late.
:"Technically isn't even a Sega character at all" actually refers to the fact that, unlike Bayonetta, where PG wasn't credited in Smash 4 (which, as we know, is because they have no ownership of the IP), Atlus ''was'' credited separately in Ultimate, despite Sega owning Atlus. I know Sega has put Persona characters within Sega games themselves (as seen [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/3/3f/Sonic_Forces_SegaAtlus_Pack_1504071888.png/revision/latest?cb=20170831152649 here] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5s70eKjTUU here]), but note that Atlus, like in Smash, is still credited separately. They own Persona, and Sega owns them. It's the same as Mojang being credited separately for Steve's inclusion, despite Microsoft being credited for Banjo (though, admittedly, I do have to wonder why Rare isn't credited separately from Microsoft; there's probably some copyright bullshit mixed in there somewhere).
:My main point with Sega having poor representation is that there's little to no variety when there easily could have been. Let me see some spirits of NiGHTS, Beat, Ulala, AiAi, B.D. Joe, Vyse, the Burning Rangers, I could go on. (I don't think you were being too nitpicky, though.)
