So uh, anybody think we should change the page image to Piranha Plant?
Per the Trope Repair Shop
, Unexpected Character is now being labeled as an Audience Reaction since it records the shock audience members feel at the presence of a character, something which is external to whatever work is being troped.

Another question:
Should we give the Video Game section its own page? It seems really lengthy by this point.
"Okay, yeah, I guess Ollie fits the goofy sidekick role, but being a princess doesn't mean I spontaneously sing about everything, 'kay?" Hide / Show Replies
I don't see any reason to split it off unless the page itself gets so big that a split would be necessary. This hasn't even broke 300K yet, so I don't think it'll need splitting anytime soon.

Do you think we should change the page image to Cloud in Super Smash Bros or keep it as is?

- : We have the Image Pickin sub-forum for discussing page image changes.
- : The current image was chosen by a thread. So your suggestion would have to be an improvement over the current. I see no reason to change it. The most important thing about an image is that it demonstrates the trope, which the current does by showing Mario's shocked reaction to Snake's presence.
You make a good point.

So in Star Wars Rebels Fulcrum's identity is Ahsoka Tano. Did enough people guess for this to be disqualified, or would it still count?
As regards to Pac-Man in Smash Bros, the trope is Unexpected Character, not Unlikely Character. As soon as Namco Bandai was revealed to be involved in the production of the game, Pac-Man's name started popping up in character lists. That alone makes him not unexpected. Even saying SOME people were surprised at his reveal (just because they created some arbitrary rule about only two third-party characters being included) does not automatically mean his inclusion becomes unexpected.
Just whipped up a rewrite of the description to avoid Example As Thesis. Thoughts?
''Normally when time comes for a sequel or adaptation of a franchise, you can have a pretty good idea of who to expect in the returning cast. The Hero, The Lancer, the Ensemble Dark Horse... no one is surprised by their return. However, creators may want to shake things up and include less obvious characters. They could be a One-Scene Wonder, someone who had succombed to Chuck Cunningham Syndrome, or simply a Living Prop, or even someone from outside the franchise.
Sometimes these character choices are praised, bringing in a previously unknown character to recent audiences, but other times the choice can be seen as a gimmick to increase sales.
Due to the ease of slipping in outside characters in a Fighting Game (both in terms of mechanics and plot), Guest Fighter can be considered a particularly common subtrope.''

Can somebody explain to me on how the picture for this trope has ANYTHING to do with this trope? The caption isn't helping either.

Because no one expects the Spanish Inquisition. Really though, that should be the caption.
Don't make me destroy you. @ Castle Series
But it has nothing to do with the trope...

Why isn't this YMMV? Unexpected = fan-reaction = Audience Reactions = YMMV ^^
Whenever we have unexpected characters to add for some popular games, the fan's reactions can be cheering or booing since either of them can steal the spotlight or boost their popularity.
