Most Popular Newcomers for Smash 4 (Results from ~100 people)

[Starcutter]

Earlier this month, MagnusD3 created a thread asking people for their top 5 characters. Me, being bored, decided to count up all the posts posted there in an unique style of counting. all the results are taken from this thread. (also going by Magnus' thread rules and not counting vets.)

you see, that thread asked for the TOP 5 in a countdown sort of way, so I did something according to that. I decided to alter points differently for each character.

5 points for 1st place
4 points for 2nd place
3 points for 3rd place
2 points for 4th place
1 point for 5th place

I will also only count characters with 5 or more votes (only exception being if the other characters with less votes have more points then one that qualifies. then they do too.)

ALRIGHT. HERE'S THE RESULTS

I find these results to be more interesting than the other kinds of polls because of how characters are rated with a 1-5 kind of deal, having them pick their favorite.

I think you're missing the votes Starfy had, but this is interesting nonetheless
