I want to make sure just before I screw anything up with the polling, lemme get this straight. so from what I've gathered, I can

- vote up or down any 5 characters
- vote up or down half other characters

that's right, right? the only thing I'm unsure of is if I could vote up people not on the OP

Vote up 5 these cannot be changed ever
Vote 1/2 any number
Down vote as many as you want but you need to explain why

I feel that this is a flawed way of polling, but since I can`t come up with a better way I`ll just shut up

I agree, but that's just how the OP decided it to be. I should also mention that it's up to 5 up votes. You don't need to use them all at once.

I'm gonna put in a vote or Two:

Lyn: please. I imagine she'd be a moveset in between marth and lucario. The pmbr could do things that'd make her ballanced.
Pichu: not gonna lie, I miss pichu. You'd probably make it Pikachu clone, with one change. Melee sd remix took off the damage to itself and turned it's back air into the kneechu. I'd love to see it again.

Good times, KY
Would anybody actually be upset if Pichu was in? Same goes for any suggestion, from Isaac and Ridley to Toad and Slippy. If the PMBR added a new character in would you be upset at all? I don't really want Shadow in but if he was in I don't think I'd be upset.

Neither here nor there
I really like the idea of changing Ganon's animations. A lot of attacks could stay roughly similar, and even subtly buffed by being disjointed.
How about if uptilt was changed to a sword/trident attack with the same hitbox, but a different animation? You can complain all day long about that being jarring to have one weapon move (if others were changed it wouldn't even be that), but I personally think it's far more jarring to have Ganon take such a bizarre stance to make a nonsensical, stylized axe kick/(stomp?) that almost certainly implies Ganon spent every last bit of his time imprisoned in the Twilight/sacred realm (depending on timeline, of course) doing extensive yoga training so as not to rend his hamstring asunder and rip his own leg out of it's socket. Not to imply it isn't far better than the old version, it does still have a nice brutal feel to it, but I think changing it is not out of the question.
Otherwise, why not turn some of his double kicks to a kick-sword combo? Nair seems like a good candidate, just have Ganon draw his blade during the first kick and stab in place of the second. It also puts a little bit more strategy into the move because you can time it to get the sword hitbox and avoid trading with your opponent.


I don't think I'd much enjoy having Lyn simply cloned off Ike. For one, Ike's animations will need to be changed in pretty much all circumstances. Very few of his attacks line up with Lyn's swordplay form, seeing as he usually either attacks with one hand, lets a hand off the blade in the follow-through, or is just heaving Ragnell around because he's Ike. Not to mention the character model. I just think that cloning moves wouldn't save you that much trouble anyways, and leave you with a much less interesting character in the end.


As for Pichu, I'd be upset with him beating out other characters. I would not be upset with the character itself. I don't think that merits a downvote at all.

well in the case that I can vote whoever I want, I put two votes up for now I guess.

I vote up Red (not like brawl though, as his own character), and Issac.

Maybe, but I wouldn't be. I think I reminded everyone that even if your favorite character doesn't make it, remember that, after a while, the PMBR will release the clone engine (and maybe the alt costume engine) to the public. Don't like whoever makes it in? When the clone engine is released, you can take them out and add your own! I know that if Toad doesn't make it in, I'll just take out the other 6 characters (I like Mewtwo but I think Roy is only OK) and use one of the slots with him. Then the other 5 with different community-created Waluigis XD

I'd be (more) worried about P:M's future if a third party got in.
I wouldn't really be upset by any choices if Sukapon got in (and was fun and cool), but otherwise there are some characters such that I'd be upset if they got in over some other characters.

Upset? I doubt it. Disappointed? Underwhelmed? Not hyped? Indifferent? More likely.

Isaac's been under a bit of scrutiny for being a sizable effort, but I'd say Ridley is a far bigger challenge.

I know he's popular, but he seems like he'd take much more effort to get in with Project M's standards of quality than everyone else. Isaac would take some effort, but there are lots of human/humanoid characters he can draw moves and animations from. Ridley would need to be built almost completely from scratch. There's no other character like him.

You left out pleasantly surprised when they actually play as him and the PMBR made him awesome ;)
Any character the pmbr adds in will be awsome, so that isnt a reason to add pichu, the only real reason to add pichu is because melee, which is why he will probably get in. I just see no point in adding pichu when you can have someone so much cooler

My time for votes!

+1:
Red (Pokemon) - Red's cool. He has a well established fandom and would be unique as a human pokemon rep. I feel like he could be like Pheonix wright from MvsC3. He'd do weird stuff that somehow works.
Isaac - I feel as if this one has been explained to death. He's cool, his series is great, has awesome moveset potential, and if Solarbeam happened... well I think Isaac has a shot
Ridley - I've seen plenty of smaller Ridley hacks. They work, if PM:BR can do those, but less choppy (and they can!) then let's go for it.


1/2:
Bowser Jr. -This would be OK, why not? It'd be interesting to see Bowser in a more rushdown, less punishing moveset.
Masked Man (Mother) - Lucas/Ness compilation character? Potential!


-1:
Black Shadow/SwordDorf -Hate this idea, feels like a big middle finger for enjoying Ganondorf for how he is Plus, Black Shadow is stupid.
Lyn - ...I love FE, I just don't feel as if Lyn has done enough for the series to deserve representation.
Pichu - I don't get the support, I just don't.
Tails/Knuckles/Shadow/Gray Fox - It would come off as unprofessional, that's all.

I'm noting a trend where every single time someone says "the only reason people want Pichu is nostalgia", and then I/trojanpooh/any of the other Pichu fans point out a list o' reasons that have nothing to do with nostalgia and more to do with the structure of fighting games and the unique gameplay options and opportunities he presents, that all gets ignored.

SWEET! : D

Would anybody actually be upset if Pichu was in? Same goes for any suggestion, from Isaac and Ridley to Toad and Slippy. If the PMBR added a new character in would you be upset at all? I don't really want Shadow in but if he was in I don't think I'd be upset.

Thank you! This is why I didn't downvote anybody - there are characters I don't like, but there's not a single announcement the PMBR could make where I'd be disgusted, or even a little bit mad.

They could announce Obama as a playable character, and I'd laugh my ass off and then start wondering what his moves would be. And they're not going to announce anything as far-fetched as Obama. : P

I most likely would be esp. if he played exactly like in Melee. The opponent only had to hit you a few times if Pichu was using quite a few electric attacks (Which is majority of his moveset) and Pichu would already be at killing potential. I don't understand the hype For Pichu. Was there something substantial about Pichu that I'm apparently missing?? An exact clone of Pikachu except that you can also hurt yourself doesn't seem all too appealing.

The OP descriptions about people are so biased its not even funny. Lyn would actually be a great character to add. The descriptions of her move-set i actually like.

If Ganon is going to be changed then his moveset needs to be in the game somehow. I don't mind him becoming a sword fighter. The thing is, how come he and samurai Goroh didn't get the
"-Yet another sword user" in their descriptions?? If you are going to have options up at least be unbiased about it. "-Does not even deserve the second slot within his own franchise" Seriously?? That is completely biased and is your own opinion. It may be supported by a lot of people but there is proof that this statement can be deemed false. The fact that he tops every download in the brawl vault, everyone an their mother tried to make a decent version of Shadow, and one of the PMBR members (SDoom) made the most decent version.

Samurai Goro as an assist trophy is extremely annoying, he is some fat dude who looks too bad to be even Deemed a samurai. That's my own opinion though. Why Toad?? Unless he will be using all sorts of in game power-ups for his move-set i see o reason to add toad. What is he really going to do other than be a more exact clone than luigi is. His Nutral-B move goingto be his Vomit from Peach's move-set?? Ridley is a Boss character. Why are people wanting to play as him?? Then when people play Boss Batttles and fight against the real Ridley, thata alone seems pretty bad already. Sukapon... Really?? i don't really have anything to say about that.

Dark Samus would actually be pretty sick to play or fight. I wouldn't mind Krystal getting in the game with a few clone moves with her own unique moves.

Why is 3rd party representation a factor?? Then the same people complaining about that complain about another representation from like Mario or Pokemon. Excuses and whining just so their "super awesome" character can get in. Since Pichu seems to be the only option for a character from pokemon to get in, no more pokemon characters for me.

For the Sonic characters, their move-set's can come from the many games that they are in (Sonic Battle, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic '06, Sonic Heroes) I wouldn't mind picking people up as tails, flying near off-screen and kicking them to death for an insta-K.O. Using your teamates to use as projectiles to stun them. Gliding back to the stage as Knucles and having whoever else is out there catch-a-ride on my back or some shiz lol. Grabbing people and spiking them downwards with knuckles for a meteor spike. Shadow's homing attack from '06 (the 5hits after the initial hit) would be awesome to see, esp if they implimented the teleport version. His teleport having a follow-up function like in sonic Battle after his Smash attacks to get in close.

WaLuigi needs some Love. (He can incorperate moves from Wario and Luigi towards his own moveset) Spawning a Bomb-omb and being able to let it walk around but it doesn't blow when he touches it (unless reflected) Being able to kick it towards someone while its walking. Up-B being some clone of Wario's except like he is diving into water while rapidly spinning with some water effects. Spinning around like Luigi's Down-B but it ends with a swing of his Racket. (Instead of kicking since that is Bomb-ombs thing, let him pick it up and use his racket, or spawn it, or set it down to walk.)

(BTW for all who think the design of the voting is flawed didn't really pay attention to key details. Only 5 clone engine slots are left, so only 5 people can get in. Half voting is like for people who isn't on your Top5 list but who would be good choices for your opinion to get in. Down voting, explains itself)

1Vote:
Shadow: He wouldn't take as long since quite a few of his animations would be used from SDooms PSA. The different games he is in as aplayable character he would actually be a tough character to fight and use.

Knuckles: HIs Gliding and climing feature would make him a hard character to kill if he isn't killed from an attack.

Tails: Same as knuckles cept. Because of his flying ability and while flying he would shoot you (that's if he gets that electric gun from Sonic Battle)

Lyn: I've already said why. Another Female character would be nice. I would actually like to see that move-set mentioned i this post made.

(i'm stuck between Dark Samus and WaLuigi. Unless its going to be the already made one where he fights like Kazuya. Then my move would completely go for Dark Samus. For this reason i'm going for Dark Samus. Though there are a lot of bounty hunters that look really awesome that are trophy's which i might choose over Dark Samus)
Dark Samus: Samus is amazing, a different feel on her moves would seem nice if done right.


1/2Vote:

WaLuigi: He needs the love but for that reason mentioned above, he gets a 1/2 vote.

Hector: It would be nice to see what they can do with him if he gets in but Lyn doesn't.

BlackShadow/GanonDorf: I don't want My main to be gone completely,and a different face but same exact moves wouldn't be bad at all. Ganon Finally using that sword he keeps Taunting with would be nice to see.

Krystal: Already said why.
Bowser Jr.: a faster version of bowser with some paintbrush moves for attacks that just wont work with him isn't Soo bad (For instance side Smash and ground pound would not work at all. Up-B would work, but with more Vertical reach and much less damage.)

Saki: if her Gun+Sword style gets pulled off, that would actually look really nice.

Claus: Arm canon + his sword would look extremely nice, and Lucas/Ness have a lot of projectiles and a spawned weapon to be able to replace. I wouldn't mind him making it.

Why isn't Young Link an option?? Poison or electric arrows, same effect for his sword sweetspot. Much faster Bow charge but less knockback.

DownVote:

Sukapon: No. Just No. I already don't like Game&Watch just by looks alone. The same goes with Sukapon. Nor do i know what that is anyways Feel free to inform, but i don't think that will change the down vote

Andy: He doesn't look like he would fit in a fighting game like Smash Bros. Snake barely fits with his suiside side-smash lol. (original moveset)

Sami: Same as Andy.

Ridley: I've already said why. He just doesn't fit as a playable downsized character since he is already a Boss Character.

Isaac: Didn't play Golden Sun. I don't know what else he can do other than the huge Hand that goes across the screen as an assist trophy, and that alone doesn't look all too fun.

Dixie: Diddy is already annoying to some degree. I don't really see much of any difference from Diddy other than her hair propellers since i didn't play any of the KC games.

King. K. Rool: Didn't play any o the games, i don't see any substantial reason to put him in.

Paper Mario: Why is this an option. I do like SMBZ Mario from the brawl vault (To some Degree) One Mario is enough, we already have Luigi.

Toad: There isn't a reason for him to be in the game other than for his whole move-set to be revolving around trolling Mario telling him that peach is actually in a different Castle (Win taunt if Mario was picked) and for him to use power-up moves for his move-set.

Tom Nook: Villager's moveset looks boring except trolling people by holding their projectiles. i also hate Animal Crossing.

Pichu: I've already said why.

(Added Shadow, knuckles, and tail's move-sets and a little background. It's too late to make it flashy. That might happen some other time.)

[collapse= Shadow Move-set]
Shadow: The Ultimate life form made by Dr. Gerald and the blood of Black Doom. Can run as fast as sonic and has almost the same exact moves Sonic has and some of his own. He also uses Chaos based moves also. The rings around his wrists and ankles keep him from over-using his power.

Move-set:
Up-B: Teleport - Greater distance than Mewtwo, but slightly more landing lag. (since he always tires out from body overuse and for some reason Sonic characters love that kneeling pose) Also, his teleport can be used to cancel his Smashes for aerial follow-ups.

Follow-up: Shadow Eagle: His follow-up move from Sonic Battle, which is only the animation of the second part of his Down-Aerial, but the move causes ground bound.

Side-B: Chaos Dash: A Dash ending with a strong gut punch at the end of the dash. In the show he did this to knock sonic out (without the dash part)

Down-B: It can be two things.
SpinDash: Basically the same as sonic's SpinDash with different mechanic's or the exact same thing.

Or

Chaos Burst: (His Power move from sonic battle) Ground and air version working exactly from the game.
Ground ver.: Disappears with only his shadow being visible and when you release the B button he appears and does the chaos Burst move. If he gets near the cliff he cannot move unless he releases the B button and does the move. It can also be timed out to automatically happen.
Aerial Ver.: Disappears and goes towards the ground at an increased speed and once there he does chaos burst again.

Neutral-B: Homing Attack: Same start-up as sonic but he also as a follow-up option. Tapping B(or A) up to 5 times to do the 5 after hits (character is stunned in place during these hits or they come out fast enough and have low knock back without any knockback growth while the last hit is strong and always sends the person diagonally up.
Not doing the follow-ups the hit will act like sonic's Homing attack and will send the person in whichever direction he is hitting towards.

Neutral-A "Air": Also can be two things
SDooms Shadow's Neutral-A -Air move.: Chaos energy surrounding him for multiple hits and the last being a high knockback hit. Landing during the middle of the moves can send the person out with a landing burst.

Or

Sonic's Neutral-A "Air": The exact same thing

F-Air:A Better animation on SDoom's F-Air. something about it bugs me so i wanted to replace it but i just couldn't figure out with what.

B-Air: Spin kick to a Forward kick (Not a spartan kick, if anyone has played SF and knows about Sagat, know exactly what i'm talking about. The spin kick basically looks like a SF Tatsu. He does it in a cut-scene) Two hits.

Up-Air: Upwards Spinning roundhouse Kick: Shifts his body to be horizontal and does a spin into a Roundhouse Kick. High Killing Value

Down-Air: Shadow Rocket: (can't believe i remember the name) From Sonic battle, the first hit while he jumps into position, and the second hit when he dives down. Which will have Sonic's Diagonal sending properties.

Up-Smash: Most likely Sonici's Up Smash

Side-Smash: SDoom's Shadow's Side Smash

Down-Smash: SDoom's Shadow's Down Smash

Up-tilt: Sonic's Up-tilt. Shadow also does this move in his own game

Side-Tilt: 2things
Chaos Chop: Basically SDoom's Side-tilt for shadow except with additional effects

Or

His 3hitting Combo from Sonic Battle that knocks them up like Metaknight's side-tilt but cancels into a weaker and nonchargeable versions of his Up/Side/Down-smashes.

Down-Tilt: (Has no name): His standing attack from Sonic '06. Basically the same as Sonic's Down-tilt cept he can do it 3times and the last one has slight wind effects.

Up-Throw: He puts the opponent into a chaos Sphere which explodes over his head and sends them up.

Down-Throw: He Choke-slams the opponent to the ground and does a small chaos Burst. One hitting burst.

Forward-Throw: Does an up angled backhand to the temple.

Back-Throw: teleports saying "Chaos Control" (Or not) and dose that Forward kick from sonic '06 in the cut-scene after defeating Silver.


Final Smash: Super Shadow with maybe the ability to throw Chaos Spears. If that would require Articles for a full fledged projectile (which is why i didn't mention it as his Side-B) then just Super Shadow. Unless they make a Chaos Blast that only does one hit, but it starts from his body and expands out to about the size of Jigglypuff's Final Smash. Though if you roll inside of it you still get hurt.
[/collapse]

[collapse= Knuckles Move-set]
Knuckles: An Echidna that lives to protect "The Family Jewel" The Master Emerald. Since his first appearance in Sonic 3, Knuckles has been numerously tricked into fighting Sonic for various reasons. Always a rival but willing to help, knuckles is a Powerhouse with the ability to Climb, Dig, and Glide. Apparently he can summon Meteors to quickly fall to earth and not burn up?? Or to throw huge Rocks that he Tore from the ground.

Move-set:
Neutral-B: Exploding Punch: i don't remember the name but he takes a step forward and punching which causes an explosion infront of his Fist.

Side-B: Again two things:
Flame Dunk: A move from the sonic Advanced series that has him lunge with one fist forward. That could be used like Ganon's Grab, but since he actually Glides from that move, if he misses then he will put his other fist forward to Glide.
Ground: will lunge and Roll a short distance if he misses. If he grabs someone he will hold them up with that hand and punch them with his other, with high knockback.

Air: He will Lunge then Glide if he misses. If he grabs someone he will spike them down with at a slight angle. (If possible the opponent grabbed will be surrounded by a tangible... aura?? and when they make impact it will explode. idk how that will work)

If no grabbing then he will just glide, and if on the ground he will do a lunging glide for more speed and knockback.

Down-B: Volcanic Quake:
Ground: Does a Short hop and punches the ground which causes a shockwave with surrounding flames and exploding spheres to erupt from the ground. (Sonic Heroes when he is Lvl3 and you press attack 3times.)

Air: Dives diagonally downwards with one fist forward, taking down whoever gets hit while he is diving, and he punches the ground for he same effect.

Up-B: Flame Drill: He does a split second pose where he brings his fist back and holds his other hand out in the direction he is going, then drill punches in that direction, obviously with a bunch of flames coming from his fist. Like Falco's Up-B from Brawl cept the last hit has killing potential and the person goes in the same direction he does like Wolf's Up-B.

Neutral-Air: he spins with his fists out and it's similar to DK's Neutral A.

F-Air: Does a quick two handed hammer for a meteor spike.

Back-Air: He does a backwards lunging elbow, with decent knockback on initial hit but very weak lingering hitboxes. Glide cancel-able near the end.

Down-Air: same animation as his Up-B except no pose and no flames and he can only go straight down, but can slightly move around like metaknight's down aerial. (Sonic Advance 2 spring trick move or SA2B his aerial attack.)

Up-Air: double punch: he punches straight up with both fists.

Side-Smash: He Punches with one hand and then takes a small step and does a straight punch with his other hand. A-> A to do the full thing. Like Link.

Down-Smash: Spinning punch: The heavy punch from Sonic Battle. He Punches and spins around....

Up-Smash: Flaming uppercut: Sonic Advanced 3 with Tails as his partner, he does this attack. Also in Sonic Advanced 2 as up+attack move.

Up-tilt: Don't know

Forward Tilt: A Wide Backhand.

Down-tilt: Sweeping Back hand. he does a slight Turn and uses his fist to sweep the opponents feet.

Forward-Tilt: Double Punch. Dash attack animation from Sonic battle. Cept without the running part.

Final Smash: Volcanic explosion. He punches the ground and causes a Shockwave with erupting flames and a small explosion. Whoever is caught gets sent up into the air like with Ike's FS, and deals a series of punches then hovers over them for a split second, to do his Up-B pose and does the Flame Drill towards the stage with a much bigger flame ofc. and then punches the opponent to the ground like his Down-B and makes a huge explosion with a few Exploding Spheres.
[/collapse]

[Collapse= Tails ]
Tails: Sonic's Side kick since Sonic's second game. He has always been by his side and is always lending a helpful hand. He can Fly with his twin tails, and is extremely smart. Builds planes and other things in his spare time.

Move-set: (will do another time)

I would be outraged! How dare the PMBR do something that goes against my opinion! My opinion is the only right opinion!

I think it's gone fairly undiscussed if animations can be pulled from a character other than the base-character to ease the difficulty of animation on a clone. That seems to be the case if you look at Roy; his uptilt and bair look awfully similar to Ike's upsmash and bair, respectively. It might be nice to clear that up whether this sort of Frankenstein's Animation is possible, or if it has limitations such as body type, since it's pretty important to consider for a lot of candidates.

Also thought I'd mention that I just noticed the new character banners in the OP and they look really great.

I give up. Nobody ever freakin' listens. I don't care if your opinions are different from mine but for the love of god at least listen.

Just asking, what do you think should be changed about it? Is it all three sections, just the downvotes, or the upvotes, or what? The rules were just changed recently, it's not as if they're infallible and the point is to make it not stupid instead of abandoning it because it is.

I give up. Nobody ever freakin' listens. I don't care if your opinions are different from mine but for the love of god at least listen.
do people even realize that the PMBR actually makes changes to the game? these people act like if a character from Melee gets in they are going to be there Melee counterpart 1:1

actually, nevermind. This voting system works great for how it`s organized. The voting system I had in mind involves heavy algorithms and would require hours of checking and double checking.

I most likely would be esp. if he played exactly like in Melee. The opponent only had to hit you a few times if Pichu was using quite a few electric attacks (Which is majority of his moveset) and Pichu would already be at killing potential. I don't understand the hype For Pichu. Was there something substantial about Pichu that I'm apparently missing?? An exact clone of Pikachu except that you can also hurt yourself doesn't seem all too appealing.

The OP descriptions about people are so biased its not even funny. Lyn would actually be a great character to add. The descriptions of her move-set i actually like.

If Ganon is going to be changed then his moveset needs to be in the game somehow. I don't mind him becoming a sword fighter. The thing is, how come he and samurai Goroh didn't get the
"-Yet another sword user" in their descriptions?? If you are going to have options up at least be unbiased about it. "-Does not even deserve the second slot within his own franchise" Seriously?? That is completely biased and is your own opinion. It may be supported by a lot of people but there is proof that this statement can be deemed false. The fact that he tops every download in the brawl vault, everyone an their mother tried to make a decent version of Shadow, and one of the PMBR members (SDoom) made the most decent version.

Samurai Goro as an assist trophy is extremely annoying, he is some fat dude who looks too bad to be even Deemed a samurai. That's my own opinion though. Why Toad?? Unless he will be using all sorts of in game power-ups for his move-set i see o reason to add toad. What is he really going to do other than be a more exact clone than luigi is. His Nutral-B move goingto be his Vomit from Peach's move-set?? Ridley is a Boss character. Why are people wanting to play as him?? Then when people play Boss Batttles and fight against the real Ridley, thata alone seems pretty bad already. Sukapon... Really?? i don't really have anything to say about that.

Dark Samus would actually be pretty sick to play or fight. I wouldn't mind Krystal getting in the game with a few clone moves with her own unique moves.

Why is 3rd party representation a factor?? Then the same people complaining about that complain about another representation from like Mario or Pokemon. Excuses and whining just so their "super awesome" character can get in. Since Pichu seems to be the only option for a character from pokemon to get in, no more pokemon characters for me.

For the Sonic characters, their move-set's can come from the many games that they are in (Sonic Battle, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic '06, Sonic Heroes) I wouldn't mind picking people up as tails, flying near off-screen and kicking them to death for an insta-K.O. Using your teamates to use as projectiles to stun them. Gliding back to the stage as Knucles and having whoever else is out there catch-a-ride on my back or some shiz lol. Grabbing people and spiking them downwards with knuckles for a meteor spike. Shadow's homing attack from '06 (the 5hits after the initial hit) would be awesome to see, esp if they implimented the teleport version. His teleport having a follow-up function like in sonic Battle after his Smash attacks to get in close.

WaLuigi needs some Love. (He can incorperate moves from Wario and Luigi towards his own moveset) Spawning a Bomb-omb and being able to let it walk around but it doesn't blow when he touches it (unless reflected) Being able to kick it towards someone while its walking. Up-B being some clone of Wario's except like he is diving into water while rapidly spinning with some water effects. Spinning around like Luigi's Down-B but it ends with a swing of his Racket. (Instead of kicking since that is Bomb-ombs thing, let him pick it up and use his racket, or spawn it, or set it down to walk.)

(BTW for all who think the design of the voting is flawed didn't really pay attention to key details. Only 5 clone engine slots are left, so only 5 people can get in. Half voting is like for people who isn't on your Top5 list but who would be good choices for your opinion to get in. Down voting, explains itself)

1Vote:
Shadow: He wouldn't take as long since quite a few of his animations would be used from SDooms PSA. The different games he is in as aplayable character he would actually be a tough character to fight and use.

Knuckles: HIs Gliding and climing feature would make him a hard character to kill if he isn't killed from an attack.

Tails: Same as knuckles cept. Because of his flying ability and while flying he would shoot you (that's if he gets that electric gun from Sonic Battle)

Lyn: I've already said why. Another Female character would be nice. I would actually like to see that move-set mentioned i this post made.

(i'm stuck between Dark Samus and WaLuigi. Unless its going to be the already made one where he fights like Kazuya. Then my move would completely go for Dark Samus. For this reason i'm going for Dark Samus. Though there are a lot of bounty hunters that look really awesome that are trophy's which i might choose over Dark Samus)
Dark Samus: Samus is amazing, a different feel on her moves would seem nice if done right.


1/2Vote:

WaLuigi: He needs the love but for that reason mentioned above, he gets a 1/2 vote.

Hector: It would be nice to see what they can do with him if he gets in but Lyn doesn't.

BlackShadow/GanonDorf: I don't want My main to be gone completely,and a different face but same exact moves wouldn't be bad at all. Ganon Finally using that sword he keeps Taunting with would be nice to see.

Krystal: Already said why.
Bowser Jr.: a faster version of bowser with some paintbrush moves for attacks that just wont work with him isn't Soo bad (For instance side Smash and ground pound would not work at all. Up-B would work, but with more Vertical reach and much less damage.)

Saki: if her Gun+Sword style gets pulled off, that would actually look really nice.

Claus: Arm canon + his sword would look extremely nice, and Lucas/Ness have a lot of projectiles and a spawned weapon to be able to replace. I wouldn't mind him making it.

Why isn't Young Link an option?? Poison or electric arrows, same effect for his sword sweetspot. Much faster Bow charge but less knockback.

DownVote:

Sukapon: No. Just No. I already don't like Game&Watch just by looks alone. The same goes with Sukapon. Nor do i know what that is anyways Feel free to inform, but i don't think that will change the down vote

Andy: He doesn't look like he would fit in a fighting game like Smash Bros. Snake barely fits with his suiside side-smash lol. (original moveset)

Sami: Same as Andy.

Ridley: I've already said why. He just doesn't fit as a playable downsized character since he is already a Boss Character.

Isaac: Didn't play Golden Sun. I don't know what else he can do other than the huge Hand that goes across the screen as an assist trophy, and that alone doesn't look all too fun.

Dixie: Diddy is already annoying to some degree. I don't really see much of any difference from Diddy other than her hair propellers since i didn't play any of the KC games.

King. K. Rool: Didn't play any o the games, i don't see any substantial reason to put him in.

Paper Mario: Why is this an option. I do like SMBZ Mario from the brawl vault (To some Degree) One Mario is enough, we already have Luigi.

Toad: There isn't a reason for him to be in the game other than for his whole move-set to be revolving around trolling Mario telling him that peach is actually in a different Castle (Win taunt if Mario was picked) and for him to use power-up moves for his move-set.

Tom Nook: Villager's moveset looks boring except trolling people by holding their projectiles. i also hate Animal Crossing.

Pichu: I've already said why.

(I'm going to edit this post sooner or later for move-sets and descriptions for the sonic characters Just because.)


1) I did not mention "yet another sword user" for Goroh because his moveset might not necessary involve his sword.
2)
"-Does not even deserve the second slot within his own franchise" Seriously?? That is completely biased and is your own opinion.
You think Shadow is more important than Tails and Knuckles, who have been in the franchise much longer than him? Okay.
3) Why are you using blue font on black? That's like using yellow text on a white background. Purple isn't much better either.
4) So you vote down people because you don't know who they are? That's rather ignorant. King K. Rool is the major villain in the DK series who is in practically every game. If you read the post, you'd know why. I don't mind down votes, but voting down for reasons of ignorance is not cool. One of the great things about Smash Bros is that it opened people up to new series. But you seem to be opposed to that.
5) Tom Nook's moveset has nothing to do with Villager's.

I'm noting a trend where every single time someone says "the only reason people want Pichu is nostalgia", and then I/trojanpooh/any of the other Pichu fans point out a list o' reasons that have nothing to do with nostalgia and more to do with the structure of fighting games and the unique gameplay options and opportunities he presents, that all gets ignored.
I'm noticing this too somehwat. This is why I'm not so sure it's worth debating this anymore-- We're all just arguing emotion at this point. While some of the Anti-Pichu debaters bring up valid points (too many Pokemon), I feel like others are basing their reasons on why Pichu couldn't work on purely subjective reasons or ignoring concerns that have already been addressed. I think TrojanPooh had a point. Some P:M'ers won't see our side of the argument just because they don't want it to be possible.

Sometimes there's no changing people's minds when they're subconsciously wired a certain way. We can all be that way-- I'm not above it, lol.

For example, I'm not personally crazy about Bowser Jr-- I think there are plenty of worthier additions than him, and I think there's a part of me that's still bitter that he displaced the Koopalings for so long. However, just because I'm not personally a huge fan of Bowser Jr doesn't mean that he doesn't have a chance, that the PMBR couldn't properly balance him or give him an original playstyle, or that other people can't have valid reasons for wanting him in the game.
Who am I to throw logic and valid points out of the window just for the sake of feeling justified in my own subjective personal opinion?
Sometimes it just makes a lot more sense to say that while this character is feasible and there *are* people who would be happy to see and main them, I'd rather see someone else.

As far as Pichu goes, I think P:M could really use someone who's intentionally goofier/siller than the rest of the cast to serve as a more subtle way of going easy on non-hardcore players, trolling, and making opponents extra-salty. If not Pichu, it would be nice to see someone to fill that niche. There are plenty of ways that Pichu can be revamped that have been posted here-- let's not forget that Roy was also a bad clone in melee-- sure, Pichu may have never been intended to be good, but then again, Brawl was never intended to have depth. Who said that joke characters can't stand out too? That's just my personal opinion though. I can't go around putting that out as fact. We just gotta call opinions and facts as we see them, I suppose.

I hate to bring this back up, and again, I'm not out to attack anyone or single anybody out, so I'm sorry if this comes off sounding like a "take that". It's just something I've observed.

(Man, I feel like a hypocrite coming back to this ;___; )

For what it's worth, I realize Pichu could be made good. There are plenty of ways to make him a more viable character, and I'm sure the PMBR could do some interesting things with him. Personally, I'm not denying he has potential. I just don't think he deserves to come back. It is my opinion that he was a waste of a character in the first place, and it's my opinion that he would be a waste of a slot now too. Especially when the "taking the slot another character could have" argument is actually a valid one in this scenario. That and the fact that we have too many Pokémon already are my reasons for not wanting him back. Maybe they're not the world's best reasons, but they're how I feel, and I do feel rather strongly about it. Now, will I get mad if he's chosen? No. Hell, I won't even be surprised. I'll be a bit disappointed, hope he lives up to the expectations of his supporters, and then keep rooting for the characters I do want.

This coming from someone who doesn't want the guy: everyone who's arguing against Pichu with "he sucked in Melee" needs to stop. Now. It's stupid. Mewtwo and Roy both sucked in Melee, and guess what? They're returning. The entire point of P:M is to make every character good, and if they're spending time creating characters from scratch, then they're most certainly not going to make them bad. Were Pichu to return, he would be made better, so arguments like "joke character" and "bad in Melee" are not applicable. They are simply bad arguments.

In all actuality Pichu is the pefect CEC. The whole point of PM is to make everyone balanced and competitive ready. Pichu has never been good, I realize this. That's why he has such a good chance, because this is his chance to be great. So yeah. There you go. Ima just go wait for Slippy.

True, but some opinions are ignorant and uneducated. I see no reason to respect people's thoughts who fail to do research or lack a logical basis.

You think Shadow is more important than Tails and Knuckles, who have been in the franchise much longer than him? Okay.
To be fair, P:M said if a character were chosen that it would be picked based on popularity. Not importance to the series. While the forums here show Shadow on the bottom of the vote results, he is still more popular as a character proven by official and unofficial poll results. The only real factors preventing him from getting votes is the 3rd party argument and anti-vote system. Which in itself is a pretty lame. Anyone saying there would be a C&D flagged on P:M because of a Sonic character is nuts, because Sega and Sonic team have never even done anything to prevent major hacks in the past. A good example would be any scoreboard on an Xboxlive Sonic game. Another example would be both Sonic Generations and SADX. Those games have been modded upside-down. As for Nintendo. They would have shut down Brawl hacking ages ago if they even cared. All brawl mods are doing are extending the life of the game.

As for the statement accusing you of bias. That wouldn't really be a problem if you removed statements like "Why him over Tails?" This is based on popularity and not importance. Shadow has proven his popularity many times outside these forums as proven by his top brawl mod status in not only one, but two spots on the top downloads chart on BrawlVault. He has even been voted the second best Sonic character besides Sonic himself. Statements like the one with Tails are indeed clearly bias and do effect the voters decisions. If you are going to list the character, please exclude things like personal statements against the character. If not, that is fine. I was just helping you to see why this statement was likely being made.

That all aside, there is a new voting system? Would I be allowed to reassess my votes for the new format?

Did you know that the day after a major Project Unleashed (Generations Mod) update, SEGA gave the game a HUGE discount on steam?

I give up. Nobody ever freakin' listens. I don't care if your opinions are different from mine but for the love of god at least listen.
Excuse me for missing your post while typing up my Essay... When i started this thing the last person to ost was Cubelarooso.

1) I did not mention "yet another sword user" for Goroh because his moveset might not necessary involve his sword.
2) You think Shadow is more important than Tails and Knuckles, who have been in the franchise much longer than him? Okay.
3) Why are you using blue font on black? That's like using yellow text on a white background. Purple isn't much better either.
4) So you vote down people because you don't know who they are? That's rather ignorant. King K. Rool is the major villain in the DK series who is in practically every game. If you read the post, you'd know why. I don't mind down votes, but voting down for reasons of ignorance is not cool. One of the great things about Smash Bros is that it opened people up to new series. But you seem to be opposed to that.
5) Tom Nook's moveset has nothing to do with Villager's.
You did part of the "Yet another sword user" for Isaac. If the possibility is there why not put it?? As to what makes sense of course.

I didn't say they are more important. Where did i say that?? He is the top of my list because he is my favorite character and I like what he can bring to the table. Tails and knuckles, they came before someone so they should be there first?? Why isn't Eggman an option. Eggman was there before Tails. Tails never got his own game, Robotnic did. Why isn't Peppy ann option then, or slippy. He isn't more important. I don't really know how Knuckles is more important though. He was there first, so what. For basically 2games straight he was on the bad side. He constantly believes Eggman and his lies. If you want to go for importance I'd say its Tails Shadow then Knucklse. Tails ,shadow, and Knuckles are apparently banned from being characters, while tails and knuckles are banned from even being CPU controlled in a game (Sonic Generations had shadow as a Boss.) Why isn't Metal Sonic there?? Wasn't he before Knuckles as well??

To answer your question about Downvotes. Its not from ignorance. I know who they are, I obviously knew which series they are from. (Cept Sukapon) Gameplay wise, i never played the games so i can't Visualise a move-set coming from people like King K. Rool. Just because he is a boss character doesn't make an exceptional valid argument for his worth. Again... EGGMAN/Robotnic. It really would be kinda weird to knock around one of his Mechs or planes or whatever. Mother Brain. She obviously doesn't fit in as a playable character. Shes a Boss Character though. King Boo is a Boss, I don't see people being able to attack an intangible character. I read the posts, they didn't bring any visualization as to a proper move-set. The post about Lyn was very detailed and showed how her moves could be used in this game. King K. Rool's moves as you mentioned in the OP didn't seem like something i'd want to see or do or even fight against.
I'm not opposed to anything?? I looked up Mother because of smash bros. (Only series i didn't know about from commercials or something) I never felt like buying any DK games. I never bought 1 pokemon game ever. I like the show somewhat, and I always wanted Mewtwo back. I wasn't clear about it but really?? You attack people so lethally is ridiculous.

About Tom Nook. I know that. I've watched 3 of my cousins play Animal Crossing. Not for a split second and then i leave from disgust. I sit/lay wherever and watch for quite some time and Villager's moves seem like the most detailed way of incorporating Animal Crossing into a fighting game. I down voted him because unless he is going to obtain moves from other characters or moves that were made out right out of the blue, I don't see many other was of doing it if not similar to Villager.

Substantial move-set for a Smash Bros. Game is what i'm looking for and what i would like to see. Not extremely fan based characters. My 1/2 votes are for people who seem like they would actually be a nice edition considering how they play in their own games. I Main Ganon... I don't mind a face change and a new take on a more Zelda series-like Ganon.
