I did say they were events where reveals were possible, not events that will have such reveals. That said, E3 probably will do the reveals of those characters of all. I was just listing those events based on what I have read from other people, but hey, anything is possible.
I would say throw out dlc, and any smash preconceptions. If said game happens it will not be defined by smash, and expect more niche characters, not nessecarily popular ones. Also throw out Pokemon due to how protective pokemon company is. I would also say throw in Roll. Also, its kinda sad, but the character who should be mandatory for vs games would have to be Demitri for... obvious reasons. Oh, and with certian excpetions I would say o characters that haven't had a game on a nintendo console so throw out Dante as well.. oh, and Hunter from Monster Hunter, they aren't allowed by the parent group either. also no wonder red, shame on youNot important, but interesting:

Had to make due for character icons on the last two.
So, do you think K. Rool would most likely be that ballot character that gets revealed at E3?
's following 's). MAYBE Both.
As likely as really honestly, no-one is a shoe-in, and while I trust Nintendo to be in good spirit, they'll do whatever benefits the overall picture the best. I would imagine a western pick and an eastern pick would be a high possibility, and a male and a female. Now we have no idea how many they are choosing, and its possible that they may choose to just accelerate the plans for a character they already had planned that has a high ballot support. My personal guess would be K.Rool as an eastern Male pick, and Krystal as an eastern female pick due to high support, but like I said you never know. Now I'm not saying there's only going to be two, but as I figure it there will be at least 2
I see what you mean. Still, the ballot has only been active within less than two months. I'd say it is still too early to reveal a ballot character. I doubt they have even begun making a trailer for any ballot character, so I don't see one get revealed at E3.
That's more or less what I meant, a ballot pick(s) would be in initial stages, and shown in rough playable in say an August direct for October release, with another choice(s) being show every 2 months possibly alongside initial choice dlc. They wouldn't be running it so long unless they planned multiple picks along the entire run of it, and Sakurai wants to do as many characters as he can so Ballot justification makes it easier too.
So, you're saying they would announce a character in its initial stage around E3, like how they first announced Mewtwo, and show off how the character plays in a later date like in August or so?
Like I said, I think they might start accelerating the rate of release by packing a Vet with a newcomer, with how few vets are left, and as they streamline the non-production character development process, but wait and see I guessAs far as we know, DLC characters are going to come around bi-monthly.
If this is the case, don't expect a Ballot character until 2016 so showing "how they play" in AUGUST is presumptuous
April
June
August - Ryu
October - Roy
December - Wolf
I just don't see it happening not off the grounds that they want to or not, but about the development time to develop characters in general.
's model fully done and in early April we got a fighter who still didn't have custom specials finished. Around a 6 month gap in that time for what has been done to complete Mewtwo and preliminary work on other DLC characters, namely .
I highly doubt they'll accelerate. They'll probably keep it at 2 per month so they can have a steady stream of characters. This would also require them to start at least one ballot character early, since even if they had 6 pre-ballot characters, it wouldn't cover the six month gap once the ballot is out.
Meanwhile, over at EAD Group No. 4...
It bothers me how hypocritical the stalwarts over at NCL are. I guess K. Rool doesn't need to come back just because he wasn't created by Japanese people. Seriously, they shoehorn Bowser into literally everything yet they won't even acknowledge K. Rool's existence. That was the last time he'd ever been mentioned by a Nintendo employee. Granted, this interview is almost five years old and may not represent their current position, but it's still upsetting to hear them talk about K. Rool like he's some disposable tertiary character. The moral of the story is... don't be complacent. Keep voting, albeit frugally and on different devices. Keep asking your friends and family to support the king. And keep proving to Nintendo that, contrary to their belief, he DOES need to come back.
Those were dark times. Their stance has likely changed by now though. Demand for K. Rool didn't increase until after his absence, so they didn't have a way of knowing that K. Rool was that popular.
Bowser didn't need to be in Super Mario Galaxy when they could have used Tatanga instead. Bowser didn't need to be in New Super Mario Bros. 2 when they could have used Wario instead. Bowser didn't need to be in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team when they could of used Wart instead. All of those characters make more sense from a thematic standpoint, yet Bowser was in them anyway. Using Tanabe's logic, did Bowser really NEED to be on those games? Of course not. Meanwhile, we literally have to harass Nintendo employees on Twitter and send in thousands of ballot votes in order for K. Rool to get recognized, and there are no guarantees of anything. I feel as if the amount support he's received is almost impossible to ignore, but stranger things have happened.Those were dark times. Their stance has likely changed by now though. Demand for K.

As for Bowser, he's made by Miyamoto himself, so he's bound to get some bias, though I'm not sure where the shoehorning bit is coming from.
WOW! I mean that a very shallow mindset king k rool and the kreminling krew need to comeback to the DK series no excuse SMH -___-
I think you're looking at this upside down. I'd say Bowser did need to be in those games as he's the core villain of the Mario series, and those games are the core Mario platformers. It's not like anybody is complaining about Bowser being in every Mario game, he logically should be involved in the plot of most of the Mario games.
As I've said, Retro wanted to prove that they could make a good DKC game on their own.I think you're looking at this upside down.

On the flipside, it is K. Rool who needs to be in the DKC games again. Tanabe's logic makes sense to me - it's Retro's viewpoint that needs fixing, imo.
To be fair, I like the idea of DK fighting against a myriad of different villains. It gives the game world more depth. The problem is that the DK franchise was already in limbo for like a decade, so it's not like we've been getting a constant stream of DK games that feature K. Rool as the villain every time. I'm sure fans would be more appreciative of change if Retro added onto existing concepts instead of removing beloved characters for no reason. Like... why not feature K. Rool as an NPC alongside Tiki Tong instead of attempting to phase him out entirely? They even retconned the shape of Donkey Kong Island. Again, their position regarding the Kremlings may have changed after all of the backlash they've received, but that's irrelevant. Time can heal all wounds, but it can never erase the scar.
Does the Joker need to be in every Batman comic book? Absolutely not. I don't agree with the notion that K. Rool needs to be in every single DK game, but he's been gone far too long. I would have felt better if they said something like "we wanted to make our own villains this time" instead of asking themselves a dumb rhetorical question that they already know the answer to. I feel the same way about the extended Kong family too, but they've slowly began integrating characters like Funky and Dixie back into the series.I think you're looking at this upside down.

Man if retro makes another DKC game I can just imgine the title "Donkey Kong Country The Kremling Krew Returns" simple title I know but I feel like it the title they would use.
Watchmojo? Don't rely on them! The results on their top tens...are...fron polls...Never mind then
They're not ENTIRELY from polls. Its from polls and from their own opinions. Its a combination.
But still watch mojo top ten list can be a hit and miss sometimes.
Yeah, they can. I like watching a lot of what they do.
Because ANYONE'S top 10 list for smash newcomers has ever been right...?
it needs more amingoNot important, but interesting:

Like i said, i'm expecting more news on Mario Maker, Fire Emblem If and the SMT X FE; a new kirby or Dk game; Mario Kart DLC packs 3 and 4; Amiibos and at least 3 smash trailers.
Will there is no such thing as a right top ten smash characters list I know that but mojo top ten can be a bit...questionable sometimes.
They spelled K. Rool's name incorrectly, which is an objective flaw. Still, more exposure is never a bad thing.
Is the . required when typing King K Rool?
They spelled it "K. Roll."
Must have been a typo. Anyways, now I expect fanart of Roll (Megaman) to be wearing a King K. Rool outfit.
Or the sexy King K. Rool wearing a Roll outfit.
if you ask me there should be an alter ego of a magical girl King K Rool.
*rises his hand*
Eh I'm not big into shooters, Gears of War is about the only shooting game I play but I might give it a try
