In the context of Rayman and 3rd parties, Nintenzilla is implying Layton is one of the most likely choices.
Okay, but it goes back to our previous discussion last night regarding the Ice Climbers. If Sakurai was open to that, it most likely would have already been the case. I am not saying that Snake is impossible, all of the pieces have always been there; however, our precedent insinuates that Sakurai is not advocating for Snake.
Because if your goal is to maximize profit, why do an indie character. More people know who King K Rool and Inklings are than Shovel Knight. Most of these games have yet to be released in Japan yet.
No, it doesn't. It can happen, but it's not definite.
Not necessarily. I gave multiple 5s to characters i absolutely did not vote for and i know many other people did.. Plus some people voted for people they gave 4s to some didnt . There are far too many variables to consider it relevant to the ballot. That one poll where we wee only allowed to pick one is probably much mcuh more accurate because it is almost guaranteed that is who was voted for.
Many more think he isnt. Some people think waluigi is a top candidate. That doesnt make them right. (Sorry buttuni/golden)
I suppose that has always been my presumption; however, as other's have stated, it is not guaranteed in the slightest. Although, I will say that there is most certainly an empirical interest in third-party characters from the community and as far as I am aware, not a lot of first-party developers are campaigning for their characters either.
Sigging this.
I personally don't see it as accurate only because you can vote for one character, when likely a multitude of people will have voted for more characters than one.
Eh, that's a good point I suppose.
Well, that's understandable, as first parties have less to gain from having their character in Smash. The likes of Indie developers have the chance to have their character immortalized in one of the most popular video game crossovers of all time. Such an opportunity is unbelievably lucrative for them, so naturally they're going to do everything in their power to campaign for their character's inclusion.
Wolf: I like Wolf a lot. But with Roy, Mewtwo and Lucas I'm personally satisfied with my returning veterans at this point. I'm desperate for someone new aside from Ryu. I'd still get him if he came back mind.
To be fair, we do not necessarily know if she was or was not considered for the vanilla roster. We do; however, know that she was considered for Brawl's vanilla roster. So, I do not find it to be a stretch of the imagination that she may have been considered for Smash 4. And, who knows, with the King K. Rool Mii costume, perhaps she is more than "considered" at this point.
The term 'ballot' probably wasn't the best choice on Nintendo's part.
Most competent individuals have discerned that the "ballot" is more of a suggestion box anyways. One only needs to read the description for the service. I think ballot sounds way more fun and engaging. People are more likely to vote if they feel immersed in the experience.
I never said anything about Layton being "shoo-in", I was just saying that his inclusion definely seems plausible.
It's okay, and the reason why I said I don't think Rayman would be included, was because two different trophies in two different categories (Rayman series and Other series) could cause confusion, unlike with Mewtwo and Lucas, whose trophies are in the same categories, as the original trophies.
That seems like a pretty arbitrary issue to exclude a character for.
As others have pointed out, I really don't think that'd be something to withhold Rayman from joining.
We'll probably see one of those 'New Content Approaching' videos like before E3 in a day or two...
I'd imagine. The fact that one hasn't been announced yet is a cause for concern, but on the other hand, the April 1st Direct was announced literally the day before.
I don't believe that at all. The ballot suggestions have probably almost completely stopped by now. There is no reason to not be working on characters. It's a suggestion box, there's no break in integrity for taking suggestions early, unless you ignore later suggestions because they were too late.
True, there's nothing saying they couldn't have started work early...but it's also completely possible that they're waiting. Either way, no reason to be worried yet about the odds of us not getting much more DLC.
Yeah, that's pretty much it.I thought most people were convinced that we are getting more content alongside the Mario Maker stage.
We always got DLC in bunches so I think it's likely myself. I guess people want to avoid disappointment.
Probably, but its also the fact that Nintendo has said jack all about it and it comes out in two days.I thought most people were convinced that we are getting more content alongside the Mario Maker stage.

The Royu Direct was a supposed to be a surprise too.
It's possible, but I'd consider it less likely. Remember, the dev team would have to be in a holding pattern until the ballot was completed. They can't work on other projects, because they have to be free when it's time to work on characters. This is what Sakurai meant when he said he can't hold the team together forever. They have other projects to work on. Holding the team just to wait would be foolish.
