Bayonetta does actually invalidate my main.
That, and Pokken already has a lot of fan-favorite Pokemon covered. I understand that you would have enjoyed Sceptile, but he would have been slightly redundant if he was coming to two different Nintendo fighters. That might be why Pokken opted to not add certain Pokemon. Even Mewtwo is not technically Mewtwo.
I don't buy it, Top 5 in USA and Number 1 in Europe? I'm cool with her addition, but don't lie to me about made up numbers to justify the decision. Just say that among the top voted characters, Sakurai felt she would be a good newcomer.
Younger generation? You mean he kids who aren't even allowed to play Bayonetta? Like I said, I think Bayonetta was an awesome third party choice, but don't lie about it
It's almost as if regardless of how many votes a character gets, the developers still have the say in the end because it's their game and they can do whatever they want.
A character should be disqualified if it was ever rigged. Should have been a rule.
Another interesting point. Instead of throwing in Corrin, I think Sakurai should have picked a couple of characters that were high in the ballot. That way, it gives something to more fans, rather than only one fan base and marketing.
Why are you acting this way? You got your most wanted newcomer, a character who even Sakurai said was a "miracle/dream"
In that scenario, someone who doesn't like the character would rig it out of spite. Besides. I'm pretty sure Bayonetta fans wouldn't be the only ones guilty *glares at literally everyone in this forum*
I never spammed votes. I only voted three times, from three separate devices, I swear!
I'm reminding posters about how the ballot worked, as stated from the horse's mouth. Not acting in any way, really.
I am not talented enough to rig a poll.
Younger generation does not imply children.
Ok, I can't be bothered, welcome to my ignore list, please add me to yours as well
I meant 'multiple votes' as that would count
good to know that was a waste)
'I'm going to be smug when Spyro isn't confirmed tomorrow' Like you're any better
Not really, in any other poll, you only get one vote periodI never spammed votes. I only voted three times, from three separate devices, I swear!
Hmm, in a way, I guess that's still rather immoral. Does it help if they were also three seperate characters?
I'm not sure I agree with cutting Corrin, they did a good enough job to where he/she does contribute a satisfactory amount to the game.
6 p.m. central. So if you are in the west coast, it will be 4 p.m. If you in the mid-west, 5 p.m., and 7 p.m for the east coast.
That could have been a good alternative.
How is this? I only voted one time on my computer, for Geno. I wrote Sakurai a nice message, even though I knew there was a .0000000000001% chance of seeing anything Super Mario RPG related in Smash. I guess Sakurai really liked what I wrote himI spread out votes across a number of devices.
Waluigi
Anna (probaly moot for Smash 5 if we're just gonna keep shoving protagonists of the month in)
Bandana Dee
Black Mage (
Shantae
Ganon
and Inklings.
If I had 2 more, it would've been for K. Rool and Isaac.
I'm European, it's 6:43 now for me
I apologize, I am also horrible with time-zones; however, after some searching, it will close at 11 a.m. for you.
That basically disqualifies everyone. A lot of the supporter groups encouraged spamming and voting through multiple devices as well as fanpoll rigging to make it seem like their character was popular.
I don't know why you keep pointing to Fire Emblem for doing this, more than that series has benefitted from being in Super Smash Brothers regardless of how many reps that series has. :0
Eh... Earthbound was going to have three games, and did so. It didnt really benefit from Smash, as the games still arent internationally released.
Even then, Fire Emblem did relatively well even before Marth and Roy came into Melee. There are quite a few Fire Emblem games that are completely shirked off of Smash's radar, and they still managed to sell well.
...the series almost went extinct.
Sales for the game were pretty average before Melee added Marth and Roy, and even then, most people who have played Smash didn't care enough to even look into Marth and Roy's homegame. There are even still people who are a part of this group now, and look at how many characters they have. If anything, Fire Emblem's western interests were paved by Advance Wars more than Melee.
I don't understand this logic at all.
Probably, you would have had the chance to experience some sort of attachment to the character and once they were unexpectedly revealed, perhaps you might have appreciated them a little bit more (or potentially less depending on how you felt about them after you learned more). Albeit, you could still play their games after the fact and your opinion might change for better or worse.
