There should be a category that contains fighters that are considered "joke fighters."
Examples:
- 64
- Jigglypuff
- Melee
- Ice Climbers
- Pichu
- Marth
- Roy
- Mr. Game & Watch
- Brawl
- R.O.B.
- for 3DS & Wii U
- Villager
- Wii Fit Trainer
- Duck Hunt
- Ultimate
- Piranha Plant
- Steve

- Oppose. It's pointless categorizing joke fighters because even if they were added in for fun, they are still fighters at the end of the day and that's what matters. Not to mention, aside from Pichu all the other characters you listed have never been explicitly said to be added as a "joke" and as such is just speculation.

- Oppose: In addition to what Cookies said, you never made it clear as to what exactly makes the characters you listed "joke" fighters.
- Is this referring to fighters that didn't fight or had some form of combat skills in their home series (this really only applies to the Smash 4 guys and maybe G&W and R.O.B.)? Is it for fighters that had low expectations from fans in joining the Smash roster (I'd argue most people were expecting an Animal Crossing character and especially Steve before their inclusions)? Does it mean fighters who are just conceptually bizarre for a fighting game (I especially fail to see how Marth and Roy, Japan-exclusivity or not, are any less unfitting than someone like Mario or Link)?
