The point of a Joke "anything" in games is to be ridiculous in the game's context.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.His best moments are when when he is being the Straight Man in certain situations.

I don't see Pichu as a joke character. I see him as a challenge character.
He's weaker, lighter, and he hurts himself, but if you can win with him, then it says more about you as a Smasher than if you had just used Pikachu. ;p
You gotta believe me when I scare you away, all that I wish for is that you would stayIf I didn't have an irrational hatred of Roy, I would say he could make for a good return if they changed up his moveset. Roy's animations with the Sealed Sword are very different from Marth's.
But that would never happen and Roy is literally the worst. Go Pichu.

"Curry killed the pussy hoping that I could kill the hate in you" - Curry, D. "TABOO | TA13OO." TA13OO, PH, 2018Yeah, I don't see selling a blatant Joke Character as DLC is a smart idea, previous appearance or not.
"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."I haven't played Melee all that much, but I am aware of how Pichu is in that game. Quite honestly, most of the people who want him back are probably the worst parts of the Melee fandom who want all the veterans from that game back regardless of how they played.
I don't really see anyone but them shelling out the cash for Pichu if he ever was DLC anyway.
"I'm glad I don't wear shoes or else I'd have to always get shoes in two different sizes. ...If you know, you know!"Mewtwo was really the only painful cut in the transition from Melee to Brawl, though I'm glad Dr. Mario returned in 4, considering the unique situation with Mario's Down Special move.
The transfer from Brawl to 4 was a little more painful, but Lucas is definitely returning however late he is and Wolf is likely not far behind, leaving only Snake, Squirtle, Ivysaur and the Ice Climbers as the real missing bits, with three of them almost certainly being no-hopers.

I sure said that!These fighters aren't two characters controlled at the same time, with up to eight of them for the Wii U version.
EDIT: One of Pichu's trophies flat-out says that he's a good fighter for when you're battling a player much worse at the game than you. So yes, it was intended, and I like joke characters as long as they're intentional.

De Romanīs, lingua Latina gloriosa non fuī.From what I understand it wasn't impossible to get the Ice Climbers working in the 3DS version, they just couldn't get them working in time and thus had to cut them. As such I consider them still on the table as DLC.
As for 8-Player Smash, apparently they did work just fine on the Wii U, so unless that statement was deliberate misdirection (8-Player Smash wasn't revealed) I think it can handle them.
I don't see Squirtle or Ivysaur returning in any capacity, and Snake's rather unlikely, but I bet Wolf is already in the works.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Honestly, I liked Pichu. He wasn't very good, but he wasn't supposed to be very good. That's kind of the point of a joke character.
