Wait, Yacht Club is in on the hype-wagon as well? Not that I'm complaining, Shovel Knight would be great.

TV Tropes describes the Fragile Speedster as the Skill Gate Character and the Mighty Glacier as the Difficult, but Awesome character. While that's certainly true in games like Mario Kart, could it be that it's the other way around in a game like Smash? Sure, there are a lot of light characters that are easy to pick up, like Pikachu, for example, and Ganondorf is probably one of the hardest to master (I'll go on record to say that a good Ganondorf is much more impressive than a good Diddy/Sheik). But I think that people new to the game are more inclined to use characters like Bowser and the Dong considering the fact that they can kill with few hits and at low percentages.

I don't think Smash has Skill Gate Characters. You just pick up a character you like and try to get good with them.

That's the way I play, at least.

Nah, characters like Bowser, Little Mac (though not technically a Mighty Glacier) and especially Link are definitely top tier among casuals.

(Some of the people I overheard at that little tournament at the con were like "the final match is probably gonna be Link vs. Link", "yeah, you just can't beat Link", "hey, can any of you tell me a character who's good against Link?" "No one."

I know there was a brief dominance of Links (and Toon Links) on FG around Christmas time, when every parent in the world would buy his/her child Smash Wii U. I guess a lot of kids were quick to find Link's rather high KO potential—a well-landed dash attack could kill when the opponent is around 80-100% damage.

Could the same be same be said for Toon Link? I actually think he's the better of the two.

[up] Well, Toon Link is more of a Fragile Speedster/Lightning Bruiser, and he doesn't have the super flashy dash attack that regular Link has, which probably turned off a few newbies.

Link is one of those popular characters a lot of people immediately flock to, and he has high power, high range, long-distance options, and yet isn't slow to the point of being hard to use. And having a dash-attack with KO potential is invaluable to new players especially.

Yeah, Link is definitely one of the easier characters to use. Lots of ways to rack up damage, a good amount of kill moves, 3 different projectiles to experiment with, and the shield can definitely be helpful. His only real downsides are lackluster recovery and below average running speed.

[up][up]My friends love to use dash attacks whenever I play SSB with them.

Smash Kingdom: I think the funniest characters in that entire series of shorts were Ganondorf, Kirby, and Snake.

I loved that part where Link and Mario are fighting, and Peach and Zelda are pestering them to win by bringing up sex.

Link is EASY to use, but his typical casual strategies are pretty easy to defuse when played right.

Less pushing for and more like they would be totally ok (to say the least) with Shovel Knight in Smash.

That'd be cool.

Though I'd say Cranky Kong is more likely to get the Nintendo say-so.

Though, if we are being completely honest, who has the highest chances ever of winning the election?

It ain't an election, is the thing.

It's a temperature reading on Smash players- It doesn't matter if Goku gets a majority of the ballots, it just tells Sakurai and Iwata we're all a bunch of dumb ten-year-olds.

I sure said that!

When people say Goku do they mean the spiky-haired hero from Dragonball or this guy?

Or Naruto, for that matter. This ballot better shut them up, or I'm gonna be a very upset Troper.

You got Smash Flash, fanboys! Play that and leave us alone!

It also shows the relative popularity of actually feasible DLC characters, so taking out some of the troll ballots, animu ballots, and any character that's already a stage hazard and/or trophy, what's left are the actual characters that might get made and which ones are more popular.

You guys think that Mewtwo and Luca's Classic Trophies will actually be the trophies that you can obtain in the game?
