I think the issue is with Smashboards, there are very few people into fighting games and even fewer still into 3D fighting games.
The start of his explosion in popularity was when Loz said that Skull Kid was in the game.
Yeah, thought so on the Endless Ocean thing. But Blue World, the sequel, is a lot more character driven with Oceana being the one that I think would make the most sense since she's the most story relevant and there's plenty of mechanics to base moves on. Plus, they could always just do a Villager and make the generic Diver the playable one. I'd certainly love a character and I do think there's fighter potential. I mean, they made Wii Fit and Game & Watch, so a character that has access to the mechanics of Blue World wouldn't be too far out. But I'd be content with representation at all in any form, especially a stage.
As far as Conker goes I think you might just be underestimating the level to which the fact that Conker and Banjo are 3rd party plays into it. Dixie may not be as popular as K Rool, but she is doesn't really need to be to be considered viable for inclusion. She simply has fewer hurdles.
I suppose so, but my core point is that I just don't understand why Conker isn't seen too too often. I mostly meant I understand he's less popular than one like Banjo, and I used the K. Rool compared to Dixie to show that one's popularity doesn't necessarily detract from another. And Banjo and Conker are sort of on a level playing field being in the same third party. I don't expect Banjo's level of support, but somewhere around say Amatarasu.
That is absolutely fair. I'm not too sure about that. Just to clarify I would love to see Conker as well. I just... don't see it happening unfortunately.
I think smash speculation just goes in cycles. Rhythm Heaven was highly speculated, as I recall anyway, largely due to the Gematsu leak. This made Chorus Kids the talk of the town when they might not otherwise have been mentioned. Sort of how Simon was everywhere this time around as far as speculation goes, but i can guarantee you that he would have been mentioned pretty infrequently if not for the Vergben leak. However it didn't work out for the Chorus Kids in the way that it did for Simon, and as such they sort of fell of the map, no longer having immediate relevance. They are definitely still possible, but without another leak with some credibility claiming their inclusion I doubt they will be talked about as highly again.
I pretty much agree with that, except rather focusing on dead series', I just like to focus on series' that have no representation (which is pretty much the same anyway). I really would like all these series' to have a shot in the spotlight and maybe get more people interested, but if they aren't really popular (this is why Isaac has a shot) then I doubt any would make it. It's just not smart from a business perspective if they don't plan on reviving he series'. Also, Rhythm Heaven's not dead. Chibi-Robo isn't necessarily dead either, but probably is.
Yeah I agree with you. I have been wanting Skull Kid since Super Smash Bros Brawl and I know better than anyone how much his fanbase has just exploded. Before the support just wasn't there on the level it is now.
Yeah personally I would prefer over Hades. I think she's a lot cooler, has been with the Kid Icarus franchise is longer, and would be the first female villain in Smash Bros. I'm surprised she doesn't have much support either.
She has quite a bit of support on my villains thread, though it usually is overshadowed by the rampant EarthBound Porky support.
I like Rhythm Heaven, and I think a character from that franchise has a good chance. My problem is that I don't really like the Chorus Kids....at least not as they are.
That sounds pretty cool, although it's probably more likely for them to just add one or the other. I really just want a Rhythm Heaven rep in general. Since there is really no main character throughout the series aside from maybe Tibby and Marshal, I feel like it's really just up to whoever Sakurai feels like adding. I only brought up the Chorus Kids due to the Gematsu leak and them being my favorite. They can also sing meaning they can represent music better than a lot of characters.
Yeah I feel like sometimes the competition for Smash is so high that people are not necessarily forgotten about, but rather overshadowed. Also I'll be checking out your villains thread!

due to this) and ones like Kamek and such slightly for notable Yoshi rep if he had to get one, though I don't think of them to the same degree personally.
I figure his best chance would be to have him put in a Team Rocket setup, if Pokémon Let's Go makes people okay with the idea of having a few more Gen 1ers.Without a doubt that (dis?)honor would go to
I've thought he deserved waaaaaaaaaaaaay more support, have done so since nearly a decade. I know the actual reason he doesn't get much outside of being seen as a niche choice is that he's not considered much of a, not sure how to word it but "Cool" "Standout" etc unlike the flavor of the month Pokemon, ones like Waluigi an such and etc among people. Not many bring up the idea of him, and it's a shame because I honestly feel he deserves much more attention within the Smash community for wanted characters for just how much he's up there as prominent and iconic throughout the series. Feel it's mostly people's tastes though I am not one to judge, but Gardevoir is my favourite Pokemon and if I had to pick between those two I'd without a doubt go with Meowth just because how much I feel him missing from the roster especially with ones like Jigglypuff in, though their inclusion makes sense having them but not him makes little to me.
It's a shame...
There's a few others I think should be more looked into, like some Retro contenders (Many were surprised by
I only have theories myself on why Bamco doesn't get as much popularity as it does.
Perhaps it is because we know there will be an Namco rep, at least in some part. While being sure someone is coming can help a characters popularity and lead to bandwagoning, Namco is only expected because they are helping making the game, not because there is some long requested character. Also, I feel like KOS-MOS is severly hurt by the prevelance of Elma and Rex & Pyra(At least, when speculation first began).
There was massive support for a slime before Smash 4. Idk if its supporters left and didn't return, changed their minds, or were just bandwagoning.
If any new Bamco reps make it this time, this ought to shift support towards lesser requested characters, like Klonoa and Agumon.
