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. -WanderlustwarriorIt feels nice that tourney mode lets you use miis.
Hana managed to defeat Ike, proving that Everything's Better with Samurai.

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.

"And kung fu is a terrible way to run a company" - alliteratorZe 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.

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