I'll accept Dixie in addition to K. Rool, but not instead of K. Rool. I'd definitely be peeved if we just got Dixie. If we got Dixie and Isaac, then I'd be ok with that, but there'd still be a K. Rool shaped hole.How would we feel if Sakurai chooses Dixie as DLC instead? I would be slightly disappointed for a couple of minutes, while happy for Dixie at the same time lol.
There must be at least one pallete/texture/costume swap with the Gold Belly Armor.
I wouldn't be upset. Just having another DK character PERIOD would be a major victory for us DK fans. But still... I would ultimately lament for the King, as he was my preferred choice from the start.How would we feel if Sakurai chooses Dixie as DLC instead? I would be slightly disappointed for a couple of minutes, while happy for Dixie at the same time lol.

I'd be happy Dixie was in, but I'd definitely dislike the fact that K. Rool wasn't in.
This always bothered me. Luckily they are making Project M for N64 though.
For the same reason that Wario and Meowth and several other iconic Nintendo characters weren't in 64 - Sakurai simply didn't want them. As for Jigglypuff, one of the major reason she got in is because of how easy she was to implement as a Kirby semi-clone at the time, beating time constraints unlike Bowser, Dedede and Mewtwo, the only three characters planned for 64 that were cut. (I wonder if Luigi was among the final additions to 64 like Ganondorf in Melee due to being more easily implementable as a clone than the other, more unique characters of the original 12 or if he was implemented fully at an earlier point?)
The thing is though that the people who don't use forms probably don't watch Nintendo directs and don't even KNOW about the poll. The results we have gotten from forums is a pretty good indicator of how the king is doing
No, rather, time restrictions. Granted, Diddy Kong I think was ignored specifically because of Rare. Until the Rare buyout, no DK characters were really used outside of the DKC franchise except for DK himself because they were considered "Rare" characters regardless of Nintendo owning them.
As I've stated before, Shovel Knight is a western only thing. Shovel Knight would significantly drop if it was a worldwide thing because he's not in Japan at all, whereas Snake, Isaac, Wolf, and Roy would probably all jump ahead of him (Banjo might stay ahead, though; that depends).
I disagree with this notion honestly. I'd far rather try and get Dixie in Smash alongside K. Rool than to sacrifice this possibility and just "deal" with getting her into Project M instead.
Nah. I'd personally really prefer K. Rool over Dixie because Dixie could potentially become a semi-clone, which I have very little interest in, but she should have her own fair chance.
It's a subjective thing. I prefer new stuff over old stuff, and semi-clones are partially old stuff. This is also why I harbor very little interest for the Brawl veterans that have been left out, but that's just me.
That's not actually an accurate assessment of the situation. You see, Ice Climbers also have this problem known as Super Smash Bros. for 3DS. There's sort of a problem that prevents them from working on it. Because they can't work on it after Sakurai tried developing them for a while, the odds seem to be stacked against them for getting into the game. So they have far less support than they normally would.
Sure semi-clones aren't BAD, but unique characters are better. And Ice Climbers and Snake aren't getting as many votes because realistically they both have almost no shot of coming back.
Imo that's a terrible idea.
Well, to be fair, the people saying those things were two different groups of people. It is true that many considered him a shoe-in prior to release, but right now people don't consider him a shoe-in. They just consider him very, very likely, and his odds LOOK good, but no one right now considers him a shoe-in; they've learned their lessons on that at least.With the increasing optimism about the Krok King's chances and the faith we got back about him, I thought about creating and posting a graph relevant to the subject
"Shoo-in" is obviously not to be taken literally and I'm not taking seriously my use of this word here. Though I legitimately think that the DK releases on VC increase his chances, because it means that more people can easily enjoy the famous games he's featured in.
Agreed. I've been saying this for a while; even though she COULD be a fully original character, she has the potential to be a semiclone, and I think Sakurai would definitely go for it considering her similarities to Diddy. I doubt she'd be fully original. However, she -should- be original enough that she's more like Wolf or Lucas rather than Lucina.
I'd imagine she'd have different A-attacks, a unique recovery, with the other 3 specials being similar to each other. She'd probably shoot bubblegum instead of peanuts, maybe with different properties like speed, damage, trajectory, etc. Her Side-B would probably still be the Monkey Flip, with some changes. Her down B could be her leaving Bubble Gum on the floor, rather than banana peels, which could cause opponents to stop in place rather than trip?
tbh, we don't know how many Smash characters Sakurai intends on making. Most people predict up to 5, but the man flip-flops his opinion so much, and with this absolutely MASSIVE ballot campaign, him or the higher ups could change their minds and add a few more down the road. So I'd say don't give up on Dixie just yet; outside of K. Rool, she's really the only other rep the DK side needs.
Viridi one place less than King K rool.
Actually... Sheik has two different move change (Side B and Down B)
The poll is rigged, go home everyone.
So let's see.
