Hey guys, I would like to ask a question to all of you. If Nintendo had room for one more forgotten character to SSB4, who would you want?


Please do not flame in this thread.

P.S. You are allowed to vote for more than one candidate and the poll will close October 3rd, the day of SSB4 USA release.

Edt: I am sorry for forgetting any characters in this poll, I will try to have a Mod change it so I can add more characters.

Whoops. Voted without reading I can vote for more than one.

Balloon Fighter would of been my other choice, but Duck Hunt Dog's the least forgotten of the forgotten characters.

Tough. I clicked Donbe and Hikari but switched to Ayumi, mainly because she's from a Mystery game and could play like Phoenix Wright. I would like D+H, Ayumi, Lip, and DHD if they could all be added.

EDIT:

Shoot, I didn't realize it was multiple.

I figured people wanted more than one vote.

P.S. What is DHD?

I know I can vote multiple but I decided to vote once for donbe and hikari nobody can say that the piece of music in SSBB that was dedicated to them was not awesome. I imagine they would work like ice climbers after that soundtrack was on the summit

Giving my vote to Mach Rider. Duck Hunt Dog seems fine too, but Mach Rider seems like a great choice, since I can't have Takamaru.

Mine's pretty obvious :p
Ever since Takamaru got the cut, it seems a lot more people are opening up towards the Lippity goodness. Which is a good thing.

I'd pick Diskun. I really don't have any clue how a moveset could work out for him, but it'd be pretty cool, especially for Japanese fans.
Lip would be a more logical choice, and I really enjoy the Puzzle league series, so I'd like her in as well.

I would normally vote for Balloon Fighter, but I feel like the representation from Villager's up b is enough to make me feel satisfied without him. I actually don't know who to vote for now, but I really like the idea of this thread. I want to see who the most popular old characters are!

My votes were for Lip, Hikari & Donbe, Mach Rider, and Mr. Sheriff. I'm quite glad this a multiple choice poll, given that I wanted to vote for both Lip (my most wanted character) as well as Hikari & Donbe (my 6th most wanted character).

Mach Rider and Mr. Sheriff are not within my top 10 but they are cool characters that I wouldn't mind getting in as well. The lack of Bubbles in this poll was quite surprising though, she'd have definitely been another one I'd have voted for.

Honestly, I think that Excite Biker and Balloon Fighter are the most worthy retro characters. I don't know why Sakurai chose to put in Ice Climbers, of all people, instead of either of those.

Gameplay reasons. Apparently, both were considered, but he went with the Ice Climbers because the 2 in 1 gimmick he felt was better than what he came up with for Excite Biker and Balloon Fighter.

Well it depends on what defines them as most worthy. If you are talking about best sellers, I think Duck Hunt Dog, Excite Biker, and Ice Climbers would be characters in the top 3 world-wide games.

Gameplay reasons; for Excitebikes he said he'd need to add ramps so they could jump and for Balloon Fighter he said that without the balloons the Balloon Fighter would be made useless. He also favoured the idea of Ice Climbers having a 2 fighters mechanic. Personally I'd have chosen Bubbles, a character he said he couldn't think of enough moves for, but I'm grateful for Ice Climbers inclusion as they are within my most used characters and went on to introduce me to their game.

Nowadays another big obstacle to both Excitebikes and Balloon Fighter is that their exists better options to do their particular unique qualities such as Mach Rider or Tingle. Even though I'm a big fan of Balloon Fight, my favourite NES game I've played, I have little desire to see the Balloon Fighter playable in SSB over the likes of Tingle or even Balloon Kid's Alice.

I voted for Lip and Mike Jones. I think Lip offers a lot of personality to the roster, and I voted Mike Jones out of pure nostalgia, even though I was never a much of a Star Tropics, fan.

I've been hoping for Mike since Melee, but seeing as Startropics and Zoda's Revenge weren't even made in Japan, the odds are pretty slim.

I'd like to see what Sakurai could do with Sukapon.

Mach Rider is my first choice since he seems like he'd have a more logical moveset and could even slightly use Wario's motorcycle move.

Duck Hunt Dog could also be great (like Mr.G&W and R.O.B.), but I would be a little surprised to see him before Mach Rider or even Takamaru (who is apparently disconfirmed? he's pretty much locked to be a newcomer in SSB5 though)

I voted for Mach Rider and Mike Jones. Both characters have a lot of moveset potential and could really use a reboot. Duck Hunt Dog is funny but no thank you. I think 2 surprise choices are enough. It does not mean he is a bad choice though, he would be funny to look at in battle and is probably the most memorable of the choices. In fact. I would say he is a fantastic choice, but aIn my opinion Mach Rid and Mike Jones are better ones.Not sure who Lip really is ...isn't her item already in?

Lip, Hikari & Donbe, Mach Rider, Mr. Sheriff, Mike Jones, Duck Hunt Dog, and Prince Sable were my choices.

But Seriously, where's Sukapon?

Oh, you're the thread maker?

Well first off, thanks for making this thread, it's a lot of fun. Along with adding Sukapon to the list I'd also recommend adding Bubbles to it as well. Also, while he will unlikely get many votes, as Urban Champion was considered by Sakurai for Melee alongside Ice Climbers, Bubbles, Excitebike, and Balloon Fighter, Urban Champion should probably be added as well.

Hopefully a Mod will allow me to add them to the pole.

Excuse me, Opossum, I would like to ask if you could allow me to add more characters to the poll? I forgot some....

Edit: If you do or get someone else to do it, thanks. If not, then thank you for your time.

I voted for Lip, because the thread says "if you had room for one more character", so I couldn't really multivote. Duck Hunt Dog and Balloon Fighter would have been cool though.
