The fighter ballot button is still active on the USA, Japanese and Aussie Smash Bros. sites. I haven't attempted to submit another vote though, just able to go the the form.

Hard to predict exactly who we are going to get, you never know what Sakurai has planned...

My prediction, without a large amount of confidence, is...

One of Wolf, Inkling or Isaac

One of K. Rool, Dixie

One of Shovel Knight, Shantae, Snake, Rayman or Bomberman

That's assuming we get 3 characters to match the slots.


True...but then, also in an alternate universe, DKC is called King K. Kong Kountry. :troll:
That is horrendous! :p

I do have a feeling we'll get a female character from the ballot, though I get the feeling it'll be one that can bring something interesting and new, though likely first party. Just like I believe a Villain is likely, as is a character from an un-repped franchise. Needless to say which one goes to K.Rool, though out of first party canidates for Female characters I''d probably think Sami, Captain Syrup or Krystal are likely, since they all have unique appearances and move-sets to bring to the table. But hey my thoughts. Should be interesting to see what happens
I honestly think Krystal would be a lock if she was in SFZ. Kind of a shame, really. Sami and Captain Syrup don't have the support or ~relevancy~ to be feasible options.

If we get any female character, it'll be Dixie first, you can bet on that.

So, you are saying it is over in Europe?
Button is still active in Europe.

I played Smash for the first time in 2 months today.

On start up the game took a few minutes to load and the spinning logo in the bottom right hand corner regularly stalled for a few minutes. I assume that was because of the new update, but I don't remember the start up being that long after the previous updates. Maybe I'm looking too much into it :p

So as I anticipate the Ballot's close, I decided to take up #Kroctober for realz, and my intent is to create a new persona for K. Rool each week, with 5 new Kremlings leading up to Halloween.

Here's a little taste of my current progress for my first Kremling, associated with a Halloween centered theme.

With the ballot ending, now's as good a time as any to pitch in on the anticipation.

I don't think we're getting K. Rool, but I hope we get some kind of acknowledgment of the ballot by Nintendo in the coming days. I want off the hype train, and I've wanted off since the 3DS roster was leaked. DLC has been extending the ride far past my desired destination. So come on and give us those supposedly final three characters, Sakurai!

Just promise me one of them will be Dracula-themed. Name-suggestion: Knosferatu

Can't wait, man!

Ballot-wise, I can't see anyone other than these guys winning:
Wolf
Snake
K.Rool
Isaac
Inkling
Shantae
Shovel Knight
Banjo

As for who he actually puts in though, that's to be seen.

KKK Kountry?!!! Are you sure you thought that through?

Anyway, now that the ballot is officially over, it really is just a waiting game and I'll gladly enjoy the Kutthroat Kamaraderie in the meantime.

The thread certainly blew up in the last few pages... and not in a good way. Anyway, I was very pleased with how you guys reacted to those posts preaching for a 'K. Rool only' attitude.

Now only if the news drought were to end...

The sweet irony that is the K. Rool fanbase.

We support the kruelest, most downright insane-in-the-membrane-insane-in-the-brain kroc this side of DK Island, but we're known to be very nice and friendly people.

Some of the most tragic love stories come from sweet people loving bad guys. Here's hoping you fellas get K. Rool though. I know a large majority is pulling for him, so I can honestly see it happening. I myself am not a supporter. But I do believe he deserves it.

Nyaa~ Yesterday was a fluke it would seem nya! I honestly can't tell whether or not it's closed yet nya (the ballet page looks the same as it has been nya), but if it's up for whatever where you are nya, then please vote for K. Rool nya! Anyways I'm done with my "kountdown" nya, I hope I made even a little bit of a difference in whatever way nya! All hail the king nya! I'd kill to get someone to vote for K. Rool by nyao nyaaa~


Yesterday was the glitch but whatever nyaa~:nifty:

Nintendo hasn't acknowledged the existence of the ballot ONCE since it started.

Wouldn't it be great if they completely forgot it was happening?

Really? I didn't know that.

What if they just wanted us to think our opinions matter?

So a few things. The end date of the ballot is weird now for some reason and you can't access the videos on the movies section.

So someone remembered and messed up. :laugh:

Just for the heck of it, im reposting my K.Rool trailer idea:
It's January 15th of 2016, Wolf has been already released to the public.

People are watching the Jan 15th 2016 Direct:

"...........and those are the ballot newcomers:Isaac, Bandanna Dee and Paper Mario. Thank you for waiting, and thanks for voting!."

And then the Direct ends......and shows the Kredits?

Konding------------Klap Trap
Kharacters--------Krusha
Koloring------------Kritter
Koncept------------Klump
Kommander------Mii fighters?

The End?

And then a gaint Krockodile hand appears and rips out the kredits just like Hades in Uprising.

"Oh,how could i forget."

Anybody elses Smash Ballot still up? It is for me, and in my time zone it's well into October 4th.
people are speculating that since Nintendo's pages never update in weekends, probably tomorrow morning the Ballot page will be down. But, of course, the votes already finished yesterday.

This is strange, but not completely surprising. Nintendo has been operating sporadically since Iwata's passing, unable to promote anything beyond casual tweets, so them not having all their ducks in a line with the ballot's operation is just more of the same.

In the meantime, here's a Japanese poll on which you can support K. Rool. He's listed on there as キングクルール(ドンキーコング) and seems to be doing quite well so far.

So we're getting a new movie.

o______________o

^ My waiting face. (Well, my head is a little thinner than that...)

The movie/video (I love how they made that distinction) list is fine for other versions of the site, though: http://www.smashbros.com/en-uk/movielist/ ... Not sure if that's relevant.

Also: last minute avatar change.
<--- I want you to be proud of me.

I think she doesn't have much presence there yet. Understandable, as only one game has made it there till date.

Yeah, perhaps, but Shovel Knight hasn't had his game released in Japan yet (which makes me question why he's on a Japanese poll) while Shantae is getting her most recent game (Pirate's Curse) released in Japan (which makes me question why she's not on that Japanese poll).
