I'd buy them. If they are unique, (And even if they aren't, considering I want Roy.) I would love to see how they play.
This is something I'm definitely keeping in mind. That being said, random casual voters aren't going to rally behind the sorts of characters people here are arguing "Nintendo might add and justify with the poll," like the Chorus Kids. They're also apt to forget about the poll after a few months, leaving the stronger say with the online fans obsessed/dedicated enough to keep voting.
Maybe initially. But if the character turns out to be unique/fun/enjoyable/whatever, then maybe they would be able to sell well, even if they stand alone.Yeah let's choose unpopular characters for standalone DLC that's a good idea.
Seriously though, obscure/unpopular characters can work for the roster where you're going to get the whole thing as a package, but for content that is sold on its own individual merit, they're going to go with stuff they know will sell, which will exclude unpopular stuff.
People might just see me quoting this and say "aldelaro, we know it';s Mr L, you're boring", BUT NO!
People would buy DLC regardless of the character.
Besides, I'd imagine characters like Spyro and Amaterasu would get soundtracks and stages to go along with them, so they wouldn't be stand alone exactly. (The other side of this is that they would take more work so this makes them less likely but I won't speak of that.)
They could do DLC character bundles if that's ever a problem like with the costumes, plus it would be a good value.Yeah let's choose unpopular characters for standalone DLC that's a good idea.

Because obviously I was being literal when saying no one.
DLC doesn't gradually sell better over time, it goes the other way.
It was a bit of a rude joke still.
I'll probably buy King K. Rool even though he is meh. I'd also buy Amaterasu cause she is awesome! Who is with me! (Everyone leaves the room.You guys are going to buy all character DLC anyway regardless of how much you argue anyway.

Yeah they could, but there is no benefit to releasing an unpopular character when they could release a popular character as far as sales go.
And I'm saying it's gonna be a big sell no matter who the character is. You have no idea about how much people eat DLC up, especially with how cheap Nintendo is selling their characters.
We are only a small fraction of the people they are trying to sell the DLC tooYou guys are going to buy all character DLC anyway regardless of how much you argue anyway.
If you're going to look at it that way they might as well just add palette swap clones then, super easy for them to make and a lot of people will buy, hooray. People just ate the Street Fighter X Tekken DLC right the **** up didn't they?
I think it's more like there's no reason to. These characters are ones you'd want to put in the main games, not because they won't sell, but because if you wanted a character to get exposure to begin with you'd be working on them from the very beginning. Being stand alone DLC seems kinda...pointless to me.
If it's Rhythm Heaven I'm your guy.
...What. That's not even comparable?????
there is arhythm heaven 3Ds game
Rude to who? Unpopular characters? I just don't see the point in making a ballot to vote for your favorite characters then make some of the characters unpopular ones, especially when there is not going to be that many. It displeases many fans and nets Nintendo less money.
Amaterasu = Ma' favurite
Those benefits exist for all DLC, not just unpopular characters.
You said people eat up DLC, you didn't people eat up DLC when it's not on disc. How do you think people would react to on disc DLC for Smash?
But they're no on-disc so...what are you trying to prove?
I don't think Nintendo or any company really cares about that all that much.
I didn't mean that the DLC sales would continue to increase indefinitely. I meant that it would go from low sales to high sales and then eventually back to low sales.
That would also be insanely weird.
I never said that it would spike up in the middle. I was just saying that DLC sales might start off a little lower than usual for a not-so-popular character. But if that character turns out to be good quality and fun to play with, sales will spike up and follow more closely the sales pattern of a popular character DLC. And then like all good things, sales will decline and eventually come to an end.
Not really. People would learn pretty quickly if a DLC character is really good, even if it is unpopular. I imagine that the spike would occur earlier than the middle of its duration. The spike would be later than the spike for a popular character DLC for sure, but still pretty early. And regardless of popularity, most of the time, sales will be declining.
That's still not how it works though hun. All the people who are going to buy it either because they want the specific character or simply because it's a new Smash character are going to buy it when it comes out, or shortly afterwards. The leftovers, the people who don't own the character and didn't care enough to initially buy it but somehow still find out it's one of good quality/fun to play (through online play?) are going to be slim in number, very very slim. It's not going to be our demographic, we're mostly the type who will buy any and all characters right when they release.
Ugh, fine mom.
I concede. What you said makes sense.
You just said hun. You're my favorite person this week thus far.
And YOU! You did NOT just say Dixie would be in over K. Rool. Have you any clue what kind of krazy talk you're speaking?
