I think it's just fine without the Christian message. Games don't seem to be the best media in which to uplift Christians, or make new ones.
I'm an absolute SSBM freak. I can't stand most characters, except for Marth, Mario, Dr. Mario, C. Falcon, Ganondorf, Link, Fox, and Falco. Of those, 95% of my skill goes to Marth, 4.9% goes towards Fox, and .1% goes towards C. Falcon and Ganondorf.
