Show me the link just in case. D:
Even then, her being higher than Krystal is what I needed more.

Palutena-sama's in Top 7 for now. Still above Krystal, which is good. Now just hoping Sakurai would hype up the KI series more with some info, even if it's more Pit info. If we do see more strings of KI info in a short amount of given time, I'm curious to wonder if she may appear.

I'm also all for Palutena!
I'm hoping the series gets another representative, as firstly Pit appeared in SSBB so many people know who he is now and secondly Kid Icarus Uprising sold 1.10m copies worldwide, which is a pretty good number. And of course, Sakurai made the KI:U so he may have a soft spot for the characters in the Kid Icarus series, just like the Kirby characters.

Really hope so. Something felt amiss when Kirby rep kinda skyrocketed from Melee to Brawl (*cough* OP'd MK *cough*). With such in mind, really hoping Kid Icarus gets a lot of good things. We already have a 3ds stage and X-bomb item, but there definitely has to be more KI stuff. After all, Pit was also in the trailer too as one of the 8 main franchises from the first one, so I have the confidence for Palutena to get in somehow. I just hope I'm right.

Is there any reason why Palutena wouldn't make it in? I'm curious.

At this point, I feel polls are kinda useless, mostly because Sakurai's at the "balancing" state, isn't he?

That being said, Palutena is still hype.
Loosely quoting from Shortie, this poll will basically be the only thing we have to measure how popular characters are for SSB5 after the game's released. Basically like the polls from when Brawl was released.

Hello, this is my first time on SmashBoards. I originally did not intend to sign-up, but I wished to talk about Palutena's possible appearance in the upcoming game without people getting annoyed. (I guess I am too passionate about it or something :p) Anywho, I am a huge supporter of Palutena for a slot in the roster as she is one of my favorite characters from the Nintendo games that I have played.

I had read some of the more recent posts as well as the original one. And I personally agree with Admiral Pit in wanting more fan art of the goddess. It just isn't fair as I just adore her personality and design. ^_^

Seeing how much fanart Rosalina got all of a sudden, Palutena will be no exception.

Aww, now I'm flattered. >_< I hope it's true though. While I don't have the Pit expression that reminds me of such a feeling and that goes with this, it kinda looks like ^_^; with the sweatdrop.

I know these are just rumors and all, but I can't believe that so few mention Palutena especially since she is a popular candidate for a newcomer. By the way, can anyone direct me to a Palutena support image for my signature. (It's looking rather empty)

Aha. All 4 of those are on my sig too, just in opposite order. But like I said, I know she'll be in the game, but we don't know if she'll be a playable character or not. Besides, I want the KI franchise to have more stuff in this Smash compared to Brawl, where we only had Pit as a character and Skyworld as a stage. Thankfully we have a KI item, aka, the X-bomb so far. May we hope that there will be more goodness soon. Tbh I'm kinda getting impatient on waiting to see more KI stuff, even if it's a new Pit-centered pic.

Yes, that's because I got them from your sig :nervous:
Anyway, WiiU should have the new Skyworld without 2 annoying breakable platforms on top of each other.

I just got an idea for Palutena's possible trailer catchphrase that I just had to come here and share it! "Palutena descends from the heavens"

But "Palutena joins Super Bash Sisters" is way too perfect.

In terms of her chances, I'd probably pin her at around the 50-60% range. I'd group her in this section with K. Rool, Ridley and Dixie Kong, and it's as high as I go for newcomers.

I'd put her as more likely than those three (who I'd also group in with Mii and Pac-Man), but less likely than Little Mac (who I'd put on an 80% really). I'd probably put her chances at about 70%.

In essence, my reckoning is roughly:

Top tier
Little Mac - 80%
Palutena - 70%

Middle tier
King K. Rool - 60%
Ridley, Dixie Kong, Pac-Man, Mii - 50%.

I asked this very same question in the rumors thread. I somehow wonder if she's not like, the most popular character ignored by rumormakers. I'd love to see them sink after that.

Definitely. At least Japan recognizes her popularity. Then again, much of her popularity comes from Japan iirc. Should we wait til late March to see what happens, right around KIU's 2-year anniversary? It's just an example.

I guess it comes down to Palutena not having such a frantic fanbase. I mean, obviously the guys making the fake leaks want to cause a ruckus, so they want to play with people's expectations by mentioning fan favorites like K. Rool and Ridley, while also throwing in controversial additions like Mii and Pac-Man. Palutena isn't controversial at all, and her fanbase really isn't all that crazy, it's one of the rare cases where a Smash fanbase knows how to behave actually. Because of this Palutena doesn't get as much attention as the other characters. She doesn't make people want to believe a rumor as much as K. Rool and Ridley, and she doesn't make people as mad as Pac-Man and Mii. Little Mac is probably just included in the leaks to make it sound believable too.

I hope that makes some sense.

When you put it that way, I'm glad she isn't getting that kind of attention like the others. We Palutena supporters could just patiently wait here with our nerdy glasses and watch the other character supporters create their own chaos because of those rumors.
On the other hand, I'm still worried bout her being playable or not. While atm there hasn't been much Pit or KI-centered pics showing up lately, and I think it'll grow later, but I get worried for each day that none show up. However, I'd assume we have to wait 2 months before we can start seeing more and more.

Well I hope you're right. I don't wanna be restricted to Pit/Bowser (the only 2 characters I could use well) again. Palutena would be my definitely 3rd main who will have priority over Bowser, and after Pit. It really depends on how she is.

Well like I said before, Sakurai gave her personality and the awesome light powers, probably he knew what to do with her to have her gain popularity in early KI:U development. I think she's almost a shoo-in at this point.

When that time comes, I'll be waiting for all the fanart, and hopefully gifs of her trailer for us to enjoy. Who knows? Maybe I can finally get a new sig and avy once she's in with some help. The world needs more Pit+Palutena, and once she's here, Celestial Fireworks all over the place! In the meantime, we have any artists within the Palutena supporters?

It makes perfect sense to me. While K. Rool and Ridley fans are being baited by these "leakers", we are in silent prayer to the Goddess of Light that she may grace us with her presence on the battlefields of Super Bash Sisters.

I cannot wait for the party, but we must wait for March first...

Honestly I feel like Palutena is a shoe in at this point. She's insanely popular in japan and popular in the uS. She's wanted everywhere! Plus she's female!

Female
Popular
Unique

Ya she has all the qualifications to be eligible. Plus being female is important with the whole Nintendo trying to add more gals to Nintendo.

If she's an assist trophy or something lame I'll really be pissed. She'll be the first character that will make me so mad if she isn't playable :(

Also can you guys link me to this Poll and rumor list y'all speak of?

It has probably been said, but Palutena is also the only non-playable, non-hostile character to appear in the Subspace Emissary. She already took part of the fight, she just need to go on the battlefield (or the Final Destination) now!

I prefer a silent fanbase to be honest, something I really hate is when people don't calm down with wanting a character, it makes me despise it a bit.
Something I really like about the Palutena supporters though is how much faith we have without yelling like the others. :)
Good point. We can just wait here peacefully, and hope our wish comes true. I wonder which of her "powers" that she gave to Pit that will become moves. I always felt that she could activate Reflect Barrier by using her shield (Down-B) for one. Of course, being her power, she's likely to modify it and make it protect her to a larger degree compared to Pit's, like make it larger.

I guess the reflect barrier could appear on front of her shield (in the case she appears with it) to protect her from both physical and ranged attacks.
