You know, that quote (thanks for posting it, @Llort A. Ton) about not seeing the appeal in heavyweights, there, does make me wonder: Why are some people against heavyweight characters seemingly just because they're heavyweight characters? I see it quite a lot.

I, personally, don't find rushdown characters any fun to play as, but I don't complain about them or wish to deny them a spot in the game (and after all, I know that other people do like them).

Why is it seemingly seen as ok when it's the other way around?
I guess its because they are never higher than mid tier...
Its funny because i played this guy the over day on FG played him for about 10 matches or more.

I won about 80% of the matches he was switching between Sheik, ZSS, Luigi.

And i had the tag ''Villians'' and kept rotating between Ganon, Bowser, DDD.

You may very well be the Chuck Norris of playing as heavyweight characters. xD

I can't even believe this fake poll and this joker made Smash news as if Shantae is confirmed.

Double the votes of the next person in line.

I like Shantae and she has a great group of fans on Smashboards

BUT THAT IS SOME BULLS**T. There is no way in hell Shantae would have nearly a majority of votes.

Who knows this is probably the same guy that edited IMDb to put Shantae's voice actress as being credited for Smash.

I'd be very shocked. We've done a whole lot, so if we've really just been in an echo chamber for so long that 11+ casual candidates pass right by us, what does that mean for other "popular" requests from places like this site?
I'd be shocked, too. I asked because there was a similar situation with Megaman and Marvel VS Capcom 3 DLC. Apparently, lots of people voted for MegaMan to be DLC for that game, but from what I heard, Capcom apparently said he was not highly requested at all, even though there were plenty that voted for him. I could have heard this wrong, but hey, what can you do?

I made a poll the other day and this was the results
http://strawpoll.me/5233699

K Rool won. And note yes Shantae was in second place, but I watched her go from 20th place to second in about 90 seconds, so someone cheated. (Same thing with Ray).

I want to create a poll with way more options and make it so people cant cheat.
Just to let you know I did share your poll in the Shantae thread.

Ah, nice reference to Sega does what NintenDON'T which is, you know, of course drop out of the console industry and make okay games with some few **** titles *looks at Sonic Boom and Sonic 06* and some excellent ones *looks at Sonic Generations and Sonic Colors*. Ah, Sega, you rued yourself.

I asked the people at the social thread to vote on the poll. The more votes we get, the more accurate it'll be.

Yeah, literally! Still, I asked that question as a what-if scenario, and I am sure Nintendo would not do something as stupid as Capcom would, right?
We'll know for sure if K. Rool ever returns in a new game of theirs. If not ssb4 then we'll see how DKCR3 goes and decide from there.

Not to mention screwing over Shenmue fans (At least we're getting it now due to the kickstarter, it'll be my first owned but not first played), Jet Set Radio fans, and Phantasy Star fans (I wish NiGHT's creator would make another game, sigh).

I do hope he is put in the next DKC game. I heard Retro got word of the king's support for Smash. With such big support, I can't see them ignoring us and not put K. Rool in the game.

hey guys long time no see,i wasnt here for the 1000 page celebration so yay 1000 pages!!,but i did see the k rool mii costume and at first it made me dissapointed but now that time has passed i think the costume actually looks pretty nice but i still want the real thing.

found this straw poll and k rool is behind so lets fix that http://strawpoll.me/5296343/

there was also this poll that some guy made that got over 2000 votes in and shantae got first place with 200 votes,but k rool wasnt even an option in the poll because the guy who made the poll said that he didnt include him because he was "deconfirmed",some body even made an article on mynintendo news saying that shantae is the most wanted newcomer due to said poll that didnt include k rool.

alot of people complained at the guy who made the poll saying that it wasnt fair to leave k rool and a few others out because he thinks they are deconfirmed and that it skewered the results so he made a new one that now has k rool so lets show him that we want k rool...here is the new poll so vote for k rool!http://www.poll-maker.com/poll395073x66854F70-15
That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard that relates to smash. They actually made an article based on some random poll saying shantae won and is confirmed?

That is Bullcrap! Sorry, but Shantae does not deserve to be in smash at all!

I don't have one. Still, I believe I heard it from someone in one of the earlier pages of this very topic. I have misread things before, so I could be wrong, but I do believe I saw such a post that said that.

Which is fine as long as it sticks to one vote per person.

please feel free to post this poll in the shantae thread or any other thread you want! We want the most accurate poll possible here.

Spread as many as you can! Lets make this poll bigger and more accurate than the skewed reddit one!

I should say now that to say that Shantae, hell, anyone's support suddenly appeared because of the ballot is as fair as saying that our support suddenly fabricated because of the ballot. A good majority of Shantae supporters have been supporting her before the ballot, they were just silent because of her likelihood. Now, with a golden opportunity to have their voices heard, of course their support is going to be louder. Everyone's support is louder now, as this is not only a second wind, but a chance to speak to Nintendo in the most direct manner that has been offered in years. So let's not diss Shantae support.

This is exactly what I believe too. All kinds characters had low chances to be in during Pre-Smash 4, but with the ballot it gives all kinds of fanbases to suggest & voice whatever video game character they want towards Nintendo.

I was personally upset with that poll because it lacked K. Rool. Shantae is still around my 4th place. And I think Shantae supporters would be upset if a poll was missing Shantae but included Shovel Knight, Quote, Mighty No. 9 and alike (and the poll creator refused to correct his mistake).
Every character has its supporters and its permitted to vote and like them. And while I dont trust that poll because it lacks green. I can personally say that Shantae is probably the character with the most rising support of them all (Shovel Knight and Banjo-Kazooie seem to have declined in comparison, K. Rool's support was going big but the Mii costume have slowed its pace).

Very cool and useful!!!

How are you, fellow Kutthroats? People are talking about K. Rool more than ever these days, and that's great. In lieu of this I have been drafting up a model sheet for future use, the progress of which you can see for yourself below. It is an almost 1:1 of his original appearance in the celebrated Donkey Kong Country trilogy. Who knows... maybe we'll be seeing it again soon!!

If you can, do some expressions! Even if they stray from the canon, would be fun and helpful to see some of them!

It's true, they did and not just them but Playtonic Games(the new company made up of the original rareware game developers who are working on Yooka-laylee) as well. so even if K. Rool doesn't make it in Smash Bros. this time, I'll blame no one but Sock-your-eye. At least I'll be confident that K. Rool will be returning to Nintendo soon thanks to Retro and possiblly Playtonic(the real Rare).

Exactly, I'd love to have a DK game with David Wise and Grant Kirkhopes music in it as well as Grant voicing DK again and whoever did Diddy and K. Rool's original voice.
Not to mention that the K. Rool fight would be the stuff of dreams. One of the things that's cool about K. Rool is that he's not bound by final boss expectations. Bowser = fire and claws. Ganon = magic and swords. K. Rool does something different each game he's in.

Another foo, just said King K. Rool's fanbase is mostly made up of kids who've only heard of K. Rool through the ballot. REALLY? A good amount of you guys are 20+.
Only one word can describe that guy: LOSER! There are more types of people than such kids he talks about who make up the fanbase. This guy is so uneducated.

He's usually okay, but it was kinda random outta nowhere on another thread. I think he said that people wanted a DK rep, and Dixie and Cranky would be better choices. Thing is, I don't want a ****ing DK rep, if I did I'd be advocating for

I want King K. Rool, not just a DK rep.

Just kidding! Hail to King K.Rool! Hail to King K.Rool! Soon, he will finally get is finest hour, and this mostly because of the hardwork of you, kutthorats.

It's nice to see all the support in the comments:chuckle:. Also, every Kremlings except the 3 first are frozen in time.

Anyone else find it a bit odd that in Rare's design, K. Rool's lower jaw goes right inside his upper jaw? For the longest time I used to think BKupa's avatar didn't have a lower jaw. :laugh::facepalm:
to be fair, real croc mouths are kind of like that too. They're jaws essentially act as gigantic, powerful, CLAMPS! clamps.jpg
Hey guys, what would your reaction be if the ballot results, when released, had K. Rool quite low on the list and nowhere in the top 10, despite all the support he is getting and how high he has been on other polls?
impossible. "It's a trick! a trap! A scheeeeme! a scam!"
I... would actually kinda like that a lot. I loved the Pirate Ship stage and was sad to see it go.
same. pirate ship returning with a DK theme? sounds great to me.
