What credibility does this Doctor Cupcakes guy have? Based on the last few tweets I have read from him, he seems about as reliable as my grandma would be on Smash Bros.

Especially that remark about Shrek and King K. Rool. Even if you believe that King K. Rool has lower chances now, Shrek will never happen, and this is confirmed, so it is impossible for Shrek to be more likely than King K. Rool. Obviously it was an exaggeration but I still think he is not a reliable source.

Shovel Knight does not at ALL deserve to be in Smash. He has no relevance in Japan at all, has been in ONE GAME, and has done nothing for the community. If he is in Smash, then Sakurai has officially lost all sanity.
Doctor Cupcakes was the one who said"The NX will be weaker than the PS4"and is on the Kotaku staff
EURRRRRRRROPPPPPEEEEEE
He also replied to a tweet from the Kremilng Kampaigners saying that he feels like King K. Rool's chances are lower than Shrek's
Shrek isn't even Nintendo,saying the second most suggested character(becuase of a Mii costume)has a lower chance than Shrek,is like saying"People who play XBOX games are neckbeards on XBOX Live(not saying anyone who plays XBOX games are neckbeards;just an example)
Even if Shovel Kinght is confirmed,how will he play,what are his specials

HOW POPULAR IS HE IN JAPAN?!

Sure Lucas,Marth,and Roy weren't advertised in America by the release of Brawl and Melee,respectively
Reason why Shovel Knight is so high is,like K.Rool,popular in America and less popular in Japan

Shovel Knight is probably not that popular in Japan considering they still don't have Shovel Knight released there.

May I point out that this whole "this character only appeared in one game" argument died a very long time ago. The number of games a character appeared in does not affect their chances off being in Smash Bros. I mean some of the characters on the Sm4sh roster only appeared in one or two games and yet, there they are, for example :4shulk:, :4robinm: and :4duckhunt:.

Other than that, as Yoshisaurus Rex said, I wouldn't take anything this "Doctor Babycakes" (...lovely ._.) guy says too seriously.
All of the examples are for Nintendo characters while shovel knight is third party. Imo it's a very different situation.

It doesn't really mean anything actually, whether they're Nintendo or third parties.
On one hand, I'd say it makes a difference, seeing as every third party character in Smash Bros. has been a major, long-lasting icon in video games. On the other hand, I previously figured that we'd only get one third party character per company since having one company get multiple characters would be Nintendo showing preference for one company over another, and clearly that didn't work out like I expected.

Personally, I'd have no problem with Shovel Knight getting in - his game's fantastic, and there seems to be a lot that they could do with him as a character. However, there are a few other third party characters who I'd prefer to see (chief among them are Snake, Rayman, and Bayonetta), so I'm not as passionate about the character as I could be. (probably doesn't help that I haven't finished Shovel Knight yet)

I'm just not sure if this "leak" is particularly reliable, since from what I could tell, it seems to be based on Yacht Club Games saying that they have something big planned for exclusive Nintendo content (which could mean practically anything), and Nintendo and Yacht Club Games both being at PAX (which, seeing as Yacht Club is there to promote the Shovel Knight DLC and Nintendo's there to promote the Wii U, doesn't really mean anything - it's like saying that two companies are collaborating because they're both at E3). Not sure what it has to do with Wolf's chances, though - whether or not Shovel Knight gets in, Wolf seems pretty much guaranteed given that he's a veteran who seems really easy to remake, and people actually want him back.

I really would love Wolf to return. He recently became one of my mains for Brawl and it would be awesome to see him playable in Sm4sh as DLC. I just hope that they give him a better recovery and new Final Smash.

I personally don't have any problem with him or anyone else getting in since there are people out there who actually do want to see Shovel Knight and/or other indie third parties for DLC so there's nothing we can do about it. I'm still pretty neutral about Wolf's chances of returning but I'm definitely one of the many people who would love to see him back.

Keep em' coming. :)
Yeah it does. Do you know how special you have to be to be in a game about Nintendo's greatest all stars and not even be a Nintendo character? You have to be a lot more special than having only one game, I will tell you that.
You do realize there are people that actually want him, right? Besides, this is all DLC so you don't have to waste your money on him if he does make it in. Same goes with all other characters you don't like.

'Sup MasterOfZoroark? Really cool to see you've become a Wolf supporter. Your videos are awesome by the way!
I'll cry actual tears of joy if wolf or Ivysaur makes it in.

:006:
I'll start dancing and take my clothes off in front of the mirror if Wolf and Snake makes it back.
I will literally burst through the roof and launch like a human rocket into space if Wolf and Ice Climbers make it back.

Say, what happened to the Rosalina avatar you had before? I really loved that one.
I decided to do a weekly avatar thing as a countdown towards the end of the Ballot. So each week I'll change my avatar to my most wanted characters in order of how badly I want them in reverse order. But I might change it back in the future. I really love that picture too. She looks so badass.

If the Shovel knight leak is legit, then why is he, a very young indie character, who hasn't released in Japan, getting in before Wolf, a series veteran, who is highly requested, a Nintendo All-Star, and starred in a bunch of games over the last 15 years?
I'm personally not a big fan of 3rd parties in smash, as I feel it sucks away what the game is about, a battle between Nintendo All Stars, but don't get me wrong, :4sonic::4megaman::4pacman: are good editions and are gaming icons, same goes for :4ryu:, but I'm not too crazy about him. I feel Shovel Knight just wouldn't fit in with the rest, heck if it wasn't for freaking Smashified*Insert Weegee Death Stare* I doubt he would have as much support as he does now.

I knew from the start people would go overboard requesting 3rd parties. Sure Nintendo said any video game character can be voted for, and I won't knock anyone's opinions on who they want, but it becomes too much with 3rd parties who have next to no impact or relevance to Nintendo specifically (slight exception with Snake) and characters who never appeared on a Nintendo console. While Shovel Knight does have his importance in the gaming industry, but it's more of an impact on the gaming industry as a whole more so than Nintendo specifically. It gets tricky with multiplatform characters. And I feel some type of veteran wrap-up would benefit the hype to potential newcomers rather than newcomers being released while veteran supporters are in agonizing anxiety waiting for their most wanted cut characters to return.

While you all are hoping for Wolf along with another veteran. If Wolf makes in, I'll be more than satisfied already.

I check everywhere for new Wolf images. Hell, I dreamed twice he would appear in a trailer, and released as DLC.

Dreaming about Wolf happening... I've always thought of what will happen when trying to sleep, but always can't get rid of the thought that something terrible will happen instead... :[

Now only an announcement can soothe this recursive fear haunting in my pre-sleep time...

Same. My biggest fear now is that Shovel Knight getting in before Wolf. I know that Shovel Knight has a lot of things that go against him even getting in but still.

I don't see how Shovel Knight becoming playable instead of Wolf for Smash 4 are related in any way. We don't know Sakurai's plans for releasing DLC characters or know how much more characters he can add so it's not like there are reserved spots for anyone. A character we wouldn't expect could be revealed instead of SK and Wolf. I know that one character is 1st party and the other is 3rd party but if Nintendo and Sakurai see potential in adding SK in Smash then we don't have a say in it.

With that said I hope that rumor is true. I would buy him the minute he's on the eshop because I loved playing Shovel Knight's game so it doesn't effect me. :troll:

Day 148: It's been nearly 5 months since the instation of the smash ballot and Wolf still hasn't come to end our worry. All we ask is to play as our favorite space lupine again. There's been drama, endless speculations, and failure. We need some success and justice for the unfairly cut Wolf.

But as of now, all we can do is spam votes for him and wait in hopes one day we truly dedicated fans get what we want in hopes to set things right.
