>>57568814Easily among the top most controversial.
A samurai....on all 4? Also the stupid weird helmet that makes him look like he has a weird tumor on the back of his head.
And the cute clown looking otter turning into a samurai is some weird digimon tier bullshit.
>>57569683Another easy top tier, tigers are popular and everyone wanted a tiger specially after several generations of fighting humanoid fire starters.
It finally seemed like the fire starter curse was lifted and then....he becomes Tony the Tiger's edgier clone.
Being a top tier competitively years after his release once he gets Intimidate and other moves, or being added into smash as a nepo new gen marketing baby had nothing to do with it.
>>57569848Really just controversial with boomers back then. Calling it controversial would be like calling GTA controversial, yes, technically. With random old people. Not with the players.
