:With Dedede before Meta Knight, I thought you were going for more of a character debut order within their games for characters who debuted in the same Smash game (i.e. Zelda before Sheik, Robin before Lucina, and Punch-Out!! before Wii Fit). Plus, there was [[:File:SSBWiiU Character Select.jpg|Smash 4's character select screen]] which had King Dedede placed before Meta Knight, which is what I thought you were going for with the original order. Ordering by development is difficult to do as well as we either don't know when each fighter was added or it contradicts reveal or in-game orders, like how Bowser is placed before Peach in the instance slots, or how Wario is placed before Meta Knight within the instance slots. Reveals are a more common way of knowing when each fighter becomes playable, as there are times where characters make a major appearance somewhere despite not being playable, like how characters like Ridley and Wolf appear in Melee's opening (and the opening was very likely made before Ganondorf was even added to the game). With an official ordering system, it prevents confusion with ordering, even if there are contradictions in previous games.

::Look, the core point I'm trying to make is that, by necessity, every decision here is going to be controversial to somebody and I don't want to have big drawn-out arguments over it. Just, as a request, not a demand, please try to avoid making a giant fuss about the exact order because it is a situation which is basically impossible to resolve in a satisfactory way for everyone involved. That's not an "admin telling you what to do", that's a personal "I don't have the energy to deal with arguing about this".
