Whatever, I guess. :\ Click to expand...

It's only done for the characters that you don't normally see from different angles in their own games (and Greninja, for some reason). Kirby, Mario, Luigi, etc always face the same angles in their 2D games no matter which way they're going and the Smash reflects that now. Link, Shulk, and the majority of the cast originate from games where they're usually viewed from most angles.Since it's not like they're actually mirrored in-engine and built from the ground up animations and all, it's actually a lot more work than just showing the back side of characters.
