Kinda ironic considering how low-tier he was in the first three games.

Basically, it's because of how acclaimed Zelda is plus his Bishonen looks?

As much as I enjoy Zelda it's not even in my top 3 Nintendo franchises, or even gaming franchises.

Link is a classic character, and that's about it. He's cool, handsome - it doesn't matter if he's regularly played like shit in Smash Bros., people just like Link. People dig the sword, shield, arrow combination.

I'm pretty sure the concept of Law having limits was a translation error. -Wanderlustwarrior

It feels nice that tourney mode lets you use miis.

Out of a 49 people tournament there were 4 Greninja players counting me

And the lowest position among us was 17th.

Apparently the Smash Ballot page was updated today. Nothing was changed (from our side at least) but it was updated.

Greninja is amusingly a really popular pick in France too from what I've heard.

Japan has a good number of Greninja too.

It seems that it's really only NA that seems to have something against him to the point he almost never shows up in tournaments, or at least never goes far tongue

There's also apparently a " mysterious update" coming to the game tomorrow, for some reason.

That coming right after the ballot page was updated is... Interesting...

Can someone link me to the updated ballot page? Or just tell me what was updated because I can't see a damn thing.

We can't see anything from our side. Whatever they updated is currently unviewable by the general public, it seems.

Unrelated but after a long reign, Ze Ro has finally lost his first set in Sm4sh.

Odd, since the Smash Ballot doesn't close until the third of October. Maybe they're just adding some kind of countdown for the last month?

As for tomorrow, I'm expecting more costumes at the best, though more likely it'll just be a new balance patch, or even more likely, nothing.

Ze Ro ultimately ended up taking PAX, but Vinnie has proved he's not invincible. I say it might not be too long before someone takes Ze Ro down once and for all.

The only idea I've heard about the ballot page being updated is that they add a "Results" page that shows the current top characters in real time, and I think that's an unlikely addition being tossed around as a hypothetical. It'll be interesting to see what happens there.

I'm still fine with the Smash Champ being a not-asshole like ZeRo, though. We got Superman instead of Darkseid.

I sure said that!

Do we even have a jerk champ in competitive Smash?

The only one I can think off is Leffen.

The Olympic Creed is, "The important thing in life is not the triumph, but the fight; the essential thing is not to have won, but to have fought well." It seems that most people just tune that out, rather than go through the effort of following it.

Zero is a pretty decent fellow, and I don't just say that out of national pride. He's cocky, but he's earned it, and he isn't over-the-top dickish.
