Following a similar vein to my previous poll, I'm collecting data of the opinions for the roster of Smash Bros 4 as it is revealed.

With Pac-Man, Mii Fighters and Palutena... how do you feel about the current roster? Please also assume that all veteran characters are returning, as we've yet to see a veteran disconfirmation yet.

Vote here, then comment with some reasons behind your decision.

Eh, they've been fine.
There's been a few I've liked (Like Villager, WFT, and Greninja), but I haven't been too excited over them.

"It's alright - I'm waiting to see who else is added."

I'll still like it if Gematsu is true, based off the of the unique additions. But the newcomers definitely lack starpower and a punch. Even Brawl's newcomers were full of stars (Wario, DDD, Metaknight, Diddy) to mix in with the less star-studded newcomers.

It's great, actually.

I'm a bit disappointed that my one hope won't make it, but overall, I only wanted 1 character and everything else is fine with. The more characters the better because I get more gameplay out of it.

Personal scores:
Megaman, Little Mac, Villager, Mii and Pacman

Denied (probably):
Midna, Mewtwo, Ridley and Isaac

I absolutely cannot complain about stuff I didn't get when the ones we did get are so awesome. Even the newcomers I wasn't necessarily hyped for have totally impressed.

Among the 3 characters revealed during the e3 time, I only like Mii Fighters. Couldn't care less about Palutena or Pac-Man. Pac-Man's moveset does look fun, though. Palutena's doesn't look like anything noteworthy. It's just... there.

Same option I picked last time; "leaning on the bad side". The only newcomer I don't hold negative or indifferent feelings towards is Megaman.

Some characters like Villager, Mac and the Mii Fighters are growing on me because they look fun to play as. However, characters like WFT and Palutena are bland both from an inclusion-hype and gameplay perspective to me (idc if you think Palutena's moveset is unique).

It's great so far. I just want my Krystal now, and everything will be good in the hood.

Oh, and a reconfirmation of Falco would be nice too.

I love all of the newcomers! I admit I was a bit ashamed that Sakurai would add someone like WFT and Villager, but they grown on me. I'm most hyped for Pac-Man, Little Mac, Rosaluma, and Palutena tho.

I'm disappointed with the complete lack of villains in the roster, as well as the omission of several characters that are perfect fits for a Smash game (Wonder-Red being a pretty obvious one).

Don't worry, he shall be in.
I have no doubt that he's in, it'll just be nice to see it officially.

Krystal is the one I'm more worried about. She was more of a viable option when Smash Bros. had a lack of female presence in the series. This new Smash is going all out with the Palutenas and the Rosalinas, so idk how that bolds well for Krystal now. We'll see tho.

I wouldn't mind Krystal, but I want Wolf more. We need more villains now. But i wouldn't mind Krystal at all.

I'm one of the insane people that believe there will be 4 Starfox reps. Fox, Falco, Wolf returns, Krystal the lone Starfox newcomer.

I know I'm crazy...and maybe a little bias for one of my favorite Nintendo franchises.

I'm ready to change my answer because of this video. Palutena was the only character I was like "really? eh" about so far, but this video totally changed my mind on that.

I think Palutena looks pretty awesome. The very idea of custom movesets is just super-cool to me, and Palutena's all look really useful (except for that heavenly light thing - god knows the lag on it will be atrocious).

It's possible, but that won't happen in this Smash......or will it? We will get three fire emblem reps tho. Question is, who will be the third one?

For newcomers I only got a problem with pac-man as for veterans why bring back ike, toon link, lucario, and charizard? lucario/charizard are here due to that ****ty mega evolutions gimmick and tink is there for the sake of his hd remake? They could've been replaced by better characters.

I actually find most of the newcomers to be excellent additions to the game! I didn't even want Miis or Pacman, but their videos won me over. I'm satisfied with the roster personally and cannot wait to see who else joins!

I got the character that I wanted in, so I'm pretty satisfied already. It's a bonus that I also like the other newcomers.

I'm hype for everyone revealed so far and cant wait to see who comes next..

I'm already set with characters for days so anyone could pop in now and I'd still be smiling.

I love the newcomers.

I don't really care who the characters are themselves. All that matters to me is gameplay, and the new roster delivers.

Amazing so far. We're almost at the number of characters Brawl had already, with so far only one clone (Toon Link; but that's okay, he's my main). That's a whopping 34 totally different movesets (including three Miis)!

I've got Rosalina, Greninja, Little Mac and especially Palutena; I think I've lost the right to complain about any roster problems I may have.

I like a lot of the new characters and I'm happy with how original all of their movesets are. I'm not happy with how boring a lot of the old characters are. Many of the old characters still have many moves that don't draw from the source material when they could easily have interesting moves that remind me of things that character does in their respective games. Toon Link still being so much like Link bothers me too.
