I didn't even see Simon Belmont in that picture lol. I wasn't really paying attention. But I'd still be on Knuckles before Bandana Dee, sorry not sorry. I would LOVE to see Rayman. I totally fell for that leak.

Alright, quick topic, how many more pre-ballot candidates do you think we have left? Elaborating and reasoning is highly appreciated.

I think we have one more left and that's Wolf.
He's the only veteran without some sort of problem preventing him from returning.
A Distant Demon
Finale
none.
I cant see there being that many characters planned from the start when it has been said that DLC would be limited. MAYBE wolf but honestly I dotn think that will be the case.
Of course I only think there about 2-3 more characters so I might just be pessimistic.

Do we mostly agree that several is very vague of itself?

Yeah, they also have Mega Man, Villager, WFT, Rosalina, Little Mac... what's even the point of playing Smash 4?

It's vague, yeah, but the "fan service" comment is enough to indicate that pre-ballot stuff is done.
It's a vague comment vs a fairly concrete one.

Maybe one, two if we're being REALLY optimistic.
We just got three characters, I can imagine there's not much more for the pre-ballot. Hopefully August comes with a character or two, but even if we just get tournament mode and some new stages that's cool.
A question, but are Hyrule Castle and Peach's Castle considered Tournament Legal?

I think we are all slightly eager to get more Info.
Everything was Leaked months before reveal so we have technically been without new info for a good while now,
(64 stages were hype though)
Whatever comes next, will rock the community.
Even Pichu could absolutely Rock the Boards.
Be it either way.

Technically, Sakurai is a problem for any character, even veterans.
Not hating on Wolf, just pointing this out, since he could decide not to add him for whatever reason.

Not really.
We're definitely getting more than two.

none, i believe that the quick change in situation in Sakurai's sentence does tell me that pre ballot would be done and it jsut make sense to me.
However, this also imply that I am VERY iffy on wolf's chances.....

I wish that was Wolf's actual look, I don't really like his Assault design.

...I thought @
PushDustIn
made this common knowledge, but it is not to take literally.The original meaning was even more ambiguous than "number", It's clear that it is a small number however (but I think it;'s kinda implied to be in plurial).
to me, 2-3 after ballot is likely.
Yeah, you probably should've read the footnotes.

Not sure about Hyrule but I doubt Peach's Castle would be ever considered for Tournaments.
Unless they remove that goddang bumper.

Why do people think there will be after ballot characters? Ballot characters seem like the last choices Sakurai is going to decide on.

desperation :V
I don't. I'm pretty sure the ballot characters are the end of it.
Also, this. Post-ballot characters are like the Smash equivalent of all those people who still think there's gonna be more Mario Kart 8 DLC.

Hyrule Castle was legal for a while in 64, but it's banned now IIRC. Peach's Castle is banned.
Edit: Never mind, PC is considered a counterpick stage occasionally.

An idea: Namco merged with Bandai a while back and they've got Tamagotchi and Digimon right? Thanks to the usual Japan bias we'd probably get smne kawaii tamagotchi with a moveset based around cleaning up it's poop if Bandai got a character but IF they got a digimon in there... That'd be the 90's kid's Mario vs Sonic.

Can't see any reason why they would ban Peach's castle.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but I figured out how to make the footnotes link to the later part in the document. I need to build a table of contents for my longer posts.

I doubt we'll get anymore, but if we do, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be Wolf, being a popular veteran with little to no issues preventing his inclusion. He's at least in a better situation than the other cut veterans.
- A poorly received veteran with some Japanese popularity, or so I've read. - A veteran that was outright replaced by his more cartoonish incarnation. - They have their share of fans, but few are mourning their losses, at least to my knowledge. - Technical issues are holding them back. - I can't say I have much confidence left in his return after the recent events involving Hideo Kojima and Konami, not to mention whatever issue(s) prevented his return in the first place. His status as a popular Brawl veteran and a gaming icon in general is all he has going for him at this point.

I really think with Snake, it wasn't just Kojima's/ Konami issues. It was either an issue with Nintendo and Konami (which is unlikely because Megaman and Nintendo is older than 12), or its because of a fundamental design clash. Smash for 3DS and Wii U uses brighter colors while Brawl used realistic ones. Furthermore. It might be difficult to imagine Snake choking a dog, or the Villager.
This is based on the fact that Kojima said Sakurai never asked him.

I think Push is right.
I think Snake just was never a thought because of design choice.

What woild post ballot DLC even be? What purpose would it even serve? It would explicitly be picking less popular characters lol.
Maybe people mean after the ballot is finished?
Neither hyrule nor peach's castle 64 will be legal. Hyrule is too weirdly built and peach's castle is peach's castle 64.
there are plenty of legal stages already in smash 4 that they really dont need to add more to the competwtive stage list. Especially not stages as jank as those 2.

...that';s what I think too.
I think that after the batch of characters chosen after they check the ballot and after....it seems to be it.
I don;t think dev will continue after that batch....

Be interesting to see the ballot characters in any case. A lot of the popular choices I've seen thus on far on ballots are Third Party so it's hard to get a clear idea of who's popular amongst the Nintendo owned ones.

I think Snake is more likely than some of you think.
For those of you who think there's not more pre-ballot DLC...
What do you think they're working on? I know they can base selections on early results, but is that what you would call "ballot DLC"?
I can't imagine they aren't hard at work on another character right now.

The only veteran I see left is Wolf.
He is the only one I can truly see coming back and as I have said even I doubt it.
Pichu will be extreme lucky to get in.
Young Link. Is sadly a lost cause.
Squritle and Ivysaur are kind of in a Can't have one without the other ordeal because having one and not the other would be extremely disappointing and disheartening. So that means double the work and well. Pokémon already got Mewtwo back so they have actually received DLC.
Snake: Refer to @
PushDustIn
post above.
Ice Climbers: If and only if the issues can be resolved. They are a given. I want to see them come back. And I hope the issues are getting closer to being resolved.
I support them all as you know. But this is my two sense.
