Super Smash Bros Ultimate's release date is just around the corner, and I couldn't be more excited. This time around, we are getting quite a few heavily requested characters such as Inkling, King K. Rool, Ridley, and Simon Belmont. While some of these were shoe ins, it's likely many were picked due to their success on the ballot. But as I was thinking about the ballot the other day, I realized we still have not been able to see the results. To be honest, we will probably never will, as fans would likely be mad to see certain characters who placed high still be ignored by Nintendo while others who placed lower got in. As I got to thinking about it more, this led me to wondering who on the ballot placed the highest and did not make it into the game. Was it a first party mascot like Dixie Kong? Or an original IP character like Isaac? Maybe a nostalgic 3rd party like Banjo? Or even an indie character like Shovel Knight or Shantae? So, I thought it would be really cool to make a poll and post it on Smashboards, because usually when I have a question, this community gives me a good answer, or at least something to look into.
Here's a few ground rules and tips
1. Character must have been around before the ballot began (Example: No Spring Man, Decidueye, Rex & Pyra...)
2. Character must have originated in a video game (Example: No Shrek, Mickey Mouse, SpongeBob....)
3. Character must have been popular during the time of the ballot; the Smash community has changed a lot in a couple of years, so try to remember who was popular then as opposed to now (Example: Captain Toad had a much bigger presence in the community then compared to Skull Kid, who has a bigger presence now)
4. Character must be who you think got the most votes, not who you wanted the most (Example: Excitebiker or Mach Rider, both characters I would love to see, probably didn't get a high number of votes)
So, make sure you vote in the poll, but also leave a comment below saying who you picked and why. And tell me, if you picked other, who did you pick? Also, I tried to include as many somewhat big names in the community as possible, but I likely forgot to include one or two fan favorites. So instead of commenting why I didn't include them, select other and comment below who you picked. Thanks
