I don't even know what 8-player Smash has to do with a character already having a non-playable role in the game. If any of the characters had a separate role to begin with, then I could see what you're saying. But Little Mac isn't an AT anymore, and none of the other characters have some other role in the game besides playable. No playable character right now is an AT, or anything beyond that. So like I said, I don't get your point.
Because you can now have 8 of the same character on the screen at once. Why is it so ridiculous to bump that number to 9?

My vote went to Wolf. Once he's in every other character is extra. I also like Andy,but want Sami more.
Hey @ Scoliosis Jones Scoliosis Jones , quick question why isn't Sami on the list? I'm pretty sure she's wanted as much as Andy and was going to be in Project M until she was leaked.
Another character that isn't on this list that I want is pious from Eternal Darkness

I know his chances are low,but Nintendo does have to use the Eternal Darkness trademark soon or risk losing it, and DLC counts as using it, so Pious could be considered. (or at least Alexandra Roivas) Just a suggestion though if you make a new poll.
In case you want to know more about Pious,
Would also like John Raimi from Geist,but would be happy if he's an assist trophy and/or trophy and Geist music gets in.
Well lets hope for the best in regards to DLC.

What is the problem with having a character be both playable and an assist, if not having 2 of the same character onscreen at once?

Ok... What does that have to do with 8-Player Smash?

8-player smash means the possibility of 8 of the same character onscreen at once. Having a character be both playable and an assist means the possiblity of 9 of the same character onscreen at once, and I'm not sure why that's so awful.

Is there any reason he should be?

I can understand why some people feel that we should include characters who already have a defined role in the game (Assist Trophy, Boss), as while it would be an issue for them to deal with (for a number of reasons), it's still technically a possibility. Chrom, though... Out of all the characters who already have a role in the game, he has the most presence in the game, by far. He's a Final Smash, he's in Robin's victory pose, he's a trophy, he's in Palutena's Guidance... The list goes on. He's so prominent in this game that removing him to make him playable would take more effort than any other Assist Trophy/Boss character. There's also the fact that Sakurai already rejected Chrom in favor of Robin due to not being unique enough, a fact that they make fun of in Palutena's Guidance. In order for Chrom to be DLC, Sakurai will have to change his opinion on Chrom, remove all traces of his non-playable status from the games, and believe that his inclusion is actually worth all that effort. In the end, Chrom is one of the least likely characters for DLC. He really doesn't have a place on this poll.
Dude, the thread is called "Vote for your PREFERRED Smash Bros DLC choices". Hell, did you even read the OP? Here's a reminder for ya...
PLEASE VOTE ON WHO YOU WANT TO SEE. WANT, not EXPECT!!!
I want to see Chrom, I know that he isn't gonna make it, but damn, don't shoot me down for wanting it. If this thread was the realistic DLC thread, I wouldn't have said anything, but this is just for the hell of it. Don't turn this thread into what it wasn't meant to be: Realistic.

Well, naturally you're free to want any character that is or isn't on this list. But we can't feasibly include every character that someone would like to see. So we include the most notable characters on the poll and leave the rest for the "other" section.

I also listed in the OP that characters who already had roles were not going to be included.

The choice of who you want was supposed to be from the list of characters from the poll.

For some reason I haven't posted on this thread yet. Anyway here are my thoughts on the potential DLC characters.

NEWCOMERS

King K. Rool - Probably in my opinion the biggest and most notable character that hasn't been added to Smash yet. He is my #1 most wanted newcomer for Super Smash Bros. Offers a wide set of moveset potential such as his blunderbuss, krown, and helicopter pack plus he is a heavyweight character that is lacking in the roster. His trophy description mentions him being the equal to DK like Bowser is to Mario and that has a lot of meaning there. Meaning that K. Rool will always be relevant to the Donkey Kong Country series despite not appearing in Returns and Tropical Freeze. Another attribute of K. Rool is his different personalites. In DKC 1, he is in his default King look, DKC 2 featured K. Rool as a pirate kaptain (Kaptain K .Rool), DKC 3 had him as a mad scientist (Baron K. Roolenstein), and DK64 featured K. Rool in the final boss fight as a boxer (Krusha K. Rool). He can have four different palette swaps for each costume. Also, the DK series is in need of at least one newcomer (two in my mind). If Mario and Zelda can have their respective villains in Smash, why not Donkey Kong? Also to note, the head guy at Retro Studios, Michael Kelbaugh, has followed the Kremling Kampaign within the last month.

Dixie Kong - Dixie is another character from the DKC series that has starred in both DKC 2 and 3 back in the 90's. And now Tropical Freeze has reintroduced Dixie to the main series after Retro Studio's revival of the series. Dixie is currently my #2 most wanted character for Smash. She may not have the potential like K. Rool, but Dixie can be unique in her own way. Her ponytail is the biggest attribute for Dixie. She does a lot of things with the ponytail like attack with her hair and allowing her to slow her descent when falling. And also the bubblegun from Tropical Freeze and potentially her guitar too. Some think that Dixie could be a semi-clone of Diddy since the two are similar size, but I hope it won't be the case. I really believe that the DK series absolutely without question deserves two newcomers. Both K. Rool and Dixie are very well-known characters of their series. We've seen some of the other series in Smash complete their core cast. Mario has Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and Peach for their core cast and the Zelda series as well with Link, Zelda/Sheik, Ganondorf, and Toon Link. It would be very satisfying to see DKC get their core cast in Smash with Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, King K. Rool, and Dixie Kong.

Isaac - Now to my #3 current most wanted newcomer, Isaac. Right here is an interesting case for Golden Sun's own Isaac. There was no sign of Isaac or Golden Sun content in the 3DS. No trophy or music. Not even the Isaac AT was found there on the 3DS. Now on the Wii U version, GS not only gets the Boss Scene/Final Boss theme back on Norfair, but it gets more content in another song found on Palutena's Temple as an unlockable track. Isaac was one of the best Assist Trophies in Brawl and has the potential to make the upgrade to playable character like Little Mac in this game. So far, there is no sign of Wii U exclusive ATs, which bodes well for Isaac. For his moveset (not that knowledge about his games), he wouldn't be just another swordsman character. He can use Psyenergy for his attacks and could be able to manipulate the ground and plants as a Venus adept. Golden Sun is a well-known series from the GBA era that deserves representation for a playable character.

VETERANS -

Wolf O'Donnell - I think the next veteran to be included for DLC could probably be Wolf. Wolf was a really good character in Brawl and was pretty unique compared to Fox and Falco. A lot of people think Wolf is a semi-clone, but I don't think he is at all. The only things he shares with Fox is the concept of his special moves and the Final Smash. Since Fox has Wolf's side special for one of his customs, they could give Wolf a new side special or try to tweak to make it different. Still baffling that Wolf didn't make the cut initially because I thought Sakurai liked Wolf and wanted to add him to Melee, but he didn't. Regardless, I think Wolf has a good chance since the new Star Fox game is coming within the next year or so some time and could help advertise the game.

Ice Climbers - Voted for these guys even though their chances for DLC is slim. It's hard to believe that they were working in the Wii U version just fine, but the 3DS led to them being cut. Pretty unique character and concept. Would like to see them back for those who were mains of the ICs. I didn't mind playing as them at times.

Lucas - I'm not that huge of a Mother fan, but I would like to see Lucas return. Ness does his PK Freeze for a custom special and it makes me wonder what they could do for Lucas. It probably would be best to try and differentiate Lucas from Ness some more. Mother does deserve two reps in Ness and Lucas.

Snake - The first 3rd party character to ever make it into Super Smash Bros. and opened the door for other third party characters such as Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man to get into Smash. A really unique and serious character that fit in a cool way with Nintendo characters. His moveset was especially unique and not much should be changed. Snake was a character that I enjoyed in Brawl and the codecs as well were fun and entertaining.

Isaac would be awesome, but I honestly don't see characters like Rayman or Kamek ever getting in.

Oh my God, that is very interesting, I knew Ridley shouldn't be counted out just yet, there is still hope.

If that is describing that Ridley as a clone of the real Ridley, then where is the real Ridley, you know that one from Brawl, this guy?



This is not the Ridley that appears on the Pyrosphere, in fact he has yet to appear in this game as of yet, so where is he?

Answer he's a trophy on the Wii U version only to like Mewtwo's trophy make us give up on him, then later on watch Ridley is revealed as a dlc character, I'm telling you he should of been part of this poll, and he is my top choice for Other as far as this poll goes.

That is a fan website. While the design is based on the clone Ridley from Other M, Nintendo just calls him Ridley in Smash.

Well hypothetically if they wanted to keep him secret for DLC, calling ridley, clone ridley or Ridley (Other M) is kind of obvious
Still, a fan website has no say on whether there will be a Ridley DLC. They wouldn't even know what DLC will come unless one is announced.

When? Because almost everybody knows of Mewtwo...
Nintendo already announced Mewtwo DLC. We can't make assumptions Ridley will be DLC using a fan site as evidence. It would make more sense to use official Nintendo sources that may hint at one.

People are taking this individual poll too seriously.

Your character didn't get in because that character had a role in game.

Big deal. It's his poll. His reasoning for it is unbiased and he's trying to be as respectful as possible.

Honestly, just let it go.

Remember that some character were choosen by poll.
The most popular get the ticket and for varius reason.

Is not for the polls or fans, Mewtwo would never got in as a DLC to pleased the Mewtwo fans or any Smash fan. And that why I take the poll a chance because, anyone will be watchings this and give it to sakurai.

I think this the reason why people are taking to serious. Even myself.

Sakurai won't care about a small poll now when Shortie's poll is right over there, provides hundreds of options and has been going on since 2012.

If they really care. They can use that instead.

Besides, there was no pool for this Smash game. We would have heard about it by now.

Unfortunate news for us guys, apparently Sakurai isn't thinking about doing any more DLC for Smash after Mewtwo, or at least, not anytime soon.

http://www.gamnesia.com/news/nintendo-is-not-planning-on-releasing-more-smash-bros.-dlc#.VG0inDCJOuY
Not definitive IMO.

He basically gives a clear case that people WOULD like DLC. It is in the company's interest to WAIT a while and not announce anything just yet, to counter the perception that they are withholding. Mewtwo's already half a year off, they wouldn't announce any DLC further away than that because it doesn't help the hype machine. You gotta hang on to some secrets. They may not be WORKING on a character, but that doesn't mean they don't have a 'slot' allotted.

I'm sure thought processes on DLC will change post release or Mewtwo gets all the monies. While they aren't planning anything more for now, I'm sure things will change at one point or another.

No matter what, I believe this poll is a good chance to look at what characters (out of who I believe is pleasantly plausible) are the most sought after.

Lip because she is and will always be my most wanted character for Super Smash Bros. I'm always hoping for Panel De Pon to get more representation, and nothing could be better than Lip as a fighter.

Dixie Kong because I feel the DK series is lacking in characters and she's a very nostalgic character to me. The Donkey Kong Country trilogy was a beloved part of my childhood.

Ice Climbers because I loved them to death and can't bear to see them be cut.

Snake because he's funny.

It's probably just PR on Sakurai to prevent criticism of "he's taking away content from Smash to sell as DLC!", which wouldn't be true in the first place. I still expect significant DLC updates, even if I'd be personally okay with no more DLC.

For my other character, I want Rundas as a dlc character caz he is a ice base fighter. Rundas might makes up the slot of ice climbers in the wii u and 3ds.
