There is not going to be anything to talk about in regards to Smash Bros. speculation until the Kid Icarus Uprising OVAs are released. This could easily mean nothing to talk about until late January.
There's a potential announcement coming mid-December for new Pokemon stuff. Which could easily mean Pokemon Gray, a 15th movie, or a reveal of Keldeo/Meloetta/Genesect. If of course Keldeo is revealed and it's also Kyurem form, it won't really affect speculation since Keldeo will not be taken seriously by many people. However, I have seen two hidden symbols. If there are two hidden Pokemon revealed and it's Meloetta, expect it to gain aggressive supporters.
Still, due to the low key release of Return to Greatness, Waddle Dee did not develop much of a following. It seems Ghirahim is not very much requested either despite Skyward Sword being much higher profile.
Ghirahim seems to be viewed in a mostly positive manner (and
here as well) and this game has helped increased Ghirahim's fan base in this place. So progress is being made (plus I've encountered a few Ghirahim supporters on Zelda Universe, here, and Youtube). There's still time to see how well Ghirahim does.
Also, while not as extreme, a few people are voting for Waddle Dee, but they're mostly on Youtube, which is interesting. Perhaps this is where the bulk of support is from (and I do consider Youtube a big place for speculation).
However, looking at SSBF's poll, it is interesting to see that Victini has actually developed a fanbase, whereas Zoroark despite being around longer has not. Its also interesting to see how much support there exists for Mario characters.
I have to agree that it's great to see Victini develop a stable fan base (and hopefully one that survives the reveal of the next Pokemon), however, from my observation (as much as I dislike to say this), Zoroark has one as well and probably with more supporters, however, they seem to be more quiet with the Victini fans being more proactive.
From what I've seen, things look good for Victini on Top Roster Candidates, however, it does not end until December 31th, 2011, so we'll see how it does.
