Yeah, what they said. I'm certain they're ignoring stupid choices like Shrek, Goku, or Cory and only look at people who do have a fightin' chance at getting in.

[up]Even though I wouldn't mind non-video game characters getting in (though I'm probably the only one here that wouldn't), none of those 3 are characters I'd want.

It's also not a "highest votes get in the game" sort of thing. While popularity certainly has to play a part, it also has to be a character that the team can work with.

Not to mention I'm sure a good majority of the votes are "doable" to a degree and not jokes.

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

Sakurai has at least complained about the huge number of Shrek votes. tongue

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, bros.

You know what though? Honestly out of all the females Lucina's my favorite. I fell for her in Awakening and when I heard she was in Smash it became a day one buy for me. Plus, I had a new main!

Ahem.

Anyway, so about this ballot thing. I REALLY don't want King K. Rool in the game. He's fine as a trophy or costume but as an actual fighter? No thanks.

I want someone cool, like Shantae or Shovel Knight. I pitched Lyn, but she's an assist trophy and well... I know Little Mac was the first to do the trophy to playable thing so maybe I got my hopes up too much.

You can't get it wrong if it's the truth!

As I have stated countless times before: I'd be so hype for Shantae and/or Shovel Knight.

[up][up] Is there a particular reason you don't want K. Rool in the game?

While I've never played either of their games, I'm not opposed to Shantae or Shovel Knight being in the game, either.

It could be old-fashioned Hype Backlash. K. Rool, prior to his costume, was THE Smash Ballot Hype-train, and even now is still going strong. And there's a fair bit of "this character isn't the one I voted for, so they are atrocious and don't DESERVE to take the slot from my character!" that goes on with the support for everyone, so...

[up] That would be nice.

Hm. I can't think of any characters I don't want to see in the game, myself. I'm just eagerly anticipating who'll get announced. Can't say I won't be disappointed if certain characters don't make it in, but I'm not going to be mad if certain characters make it in the game. I mean, heck, a character I hate could get confirmed for Smash and I probably won't get mad.

There's not really many characters I hate hate (I don't see sense in getting that emotionally invested), though there'd probably be some whom I'd be somewhat disappointed to see get in before my personal picks. That's hardly the character's fault, though.

No, he gave no specific numbers on how many ballot characters are coming. He's said "several" but also that he can't make that many since they can't keep the team around forever.

I'm still wtf-ing over the fact that there's a Mario Maker stage. Yes, I only just found out (or I found out earlier and then completely forgot about it).

I agree with this sentiment.[tup]

I can't think of any newcomers I'm particularly hoping to see that haven't already been deconfirmed (Ridley and Kamek), so I'm pretty much okay with anyone getting in.

K. Rool would be nice, though.

I don't really have high hopes for the characters I voted for. (Bomberman, Master Higgins, Ludicolo, and Goodra.) Two of them are with a certain company that's going bonkers, and one is a relatively unpopular Pokemon. Goodra...I could see having a sporting chance, but I don't know if they're even interested in adding more Pokemon to the roster.

I've already listed my characters I'd want to see in, but here we go:

  • Viridi or Hades (I wouldn't mind Medusa but I'd rather have one of these two)
  • Wolf
  • King K. Rool
  • Dixie Kong
  • Isaac (I should play Golden Sun at some point)
  • Ray Mk. II
  • Ashley
  • Waluigi
  • Saki or Isa
  • Another Fire Emblem Lord (preferably from Fates)
  • Krystal
  • Roll
  • Shadow
  • Knuckles
  • Shantae (I should buy Pirate's Curse)
  • Shovel Knight (I need to buy and play his game)
  • Snake
  • Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes
  • Scorpion
  • Bayonetta
  • Viewtiful Joe
  • Vaati
  • Nightmare (from Soul Calibur)

I'm still annoyed that there's no Golden Sun rep. Before the full roster list came out, I was fully expecting one.
