Characters being "predictable" or not doesn't matter to me. Just give characters I give a **** about. So Hayabusa and Crash would be up my alley. But I'm not a Monster Hunter player, so them and Rex aren't my go to choices or anything personally.

Try this pass on:

78: Octoling
79: Elma
80: LoL rep
81: Neku
I'd only like Elma out of these honestly. But LoL being huge would make sense.

Rate the pass, who I think are the most likely:
Geno
Doomslayer
Ryu Hayabusa
Crash
  • 10/10, one of my MW
  • 6/10. Respect the choice, but FPS aren't my thing.
  • 7/10. Been gradually arming up to him after playing the original.
  • 10/10. Arguably my most wanted platformer character.
7,6/10. Nice! Two of my MW!

Enough of these amateur passes! Time for the real ****!
  • 7/10, as explained above
  • 5/10. Would rather have Bomberman from Konami, and I can think of at least two other shmup/run and gun characters that I'd like more.
  • 5/10. Okay, but there's several Capcom characters I'd prefer. Like, a good 5 or 6.
  • 7/10. I like Kunio, but I'd rather have Sol from Arcsys or Axel Stone as a beat em'up rep.
6,1/10. Most meh Pass thus far imo.

I have no attachment to River City Ransom, so replace them with Haggar or Axel Stone then this would be amazing.

I’ll do two lists, my ideal scenario & something a bit more realistic:

8: Dante
9: Leon Kennedy
10: Crash
11: Master Chief

8: Sol Badguy
9: Yuri Lowell
10: Master Chief
11: Mipha

I actually think Hayabusa is the most likely right now, but I didn’t include him just for some diversity lol

Same thing for Why I don't want Shadow as an echo, despite Shadow being my Most wantd Character. I hate Wasted Potential
I mean, that moveset's just bad regardless of how edgy the hedgehog that's using it is.

Wait how is Master Chief more realistic as a choice compared to Crash or Leon?

  • Goku
:troll:
Isn't your most wanted a Nintendo character? How will that work when my least wanted is Min Min being this pass's only first party?

I'm not here to promote voting on it, you've probably heard of it. But I'm here to ask you guys all a question. If you could, would you add...
  • 4 characters who have over 500
  • 3 characters with over 500 + 1 with over 200 below 500
  • 2 characters with over 500 + 2 with over 200 below 500
  • 2 characters with over 500 + 1 with over 200 below 500 + 1 with over 100 below 200
  • 1 characters with over 500 + 2 with over 200 below 500 + 1 with over 100 below 200
  • 1 characters with over 500 + 1 with over 200 below 500 + 2 with over 100 below 200
  • 1 character with over 500 + 1 with over 200 below 500 + 1 with over 100 below 200 + 1 with under 100
  • Or something pther combination I didn't list?
If there's somehow a notable gaming character that is not on the list then they count as a sub 100 rep.

On a diversity, sensible pick I'd go with 1 500+ (Crash), 3 499-200 (Arle, Lloyd and CJ), all of whom represent different kinds of games and have different audiences that appeal to them (from both each other, Min Min and Steve). If I give into my biases, Crash/Frisk/Arle/Lloyd, though CJ and Crewmate have warmed up to me recently.

I'll go with one of each.
  • +500 - Reimu (707)
  • +200 - Klonoa (336)
  • +100 - Legionis (NOT AKIRA) (132)
  • Under 100 - Adol (54)

Man, the TF2 dudes are really having their way with that huh? I think they care about it more than the Smash fanbase lmao

I think Heavy or Scout would be cool but everyone else being that high is ridiculous.

Adol and Dante are great picks (not sure why no sub-weapons would be a big deal). Out of the three Sega guys I'd take any, though if given a choice I'd pick Tails.

Cinderace is trash.

My most wanted character is specifically "not Pepsiman, Dr. Goomba Stack and DmC Dante" so I guess Volume 2 is canceled people.

TF2 Has been shattering Fan Polls recently

Is it possible it's due to Botting, or also as likely (or even more), Is there an unknown Audience in the Smash fanbase that would like to see TF2 in Smash?

Or even People that may not care about Smash that still be interested in Smash if TF2 got in, an untapped audience with actual Crossover?

It's because every time a fan poll gets made, it gets shared on the TF2 subreddit lol.


The TF2 subreddit is still shockingly huge for a 13 year old game.

It's not really botting as much as it is TF2 fans voting for TF2 regardless of what they are actually voting for. Like Shroob Shroob mentioned Smash polls always get shared on r/tf2

Rate this pass:

Your most wanted
Pepsiman
Dr. Goomba Stack
DmC Dan-tay
Who's Dr. Goomba Stack? Aside from that, I guess this pass is okay. (MMX Zero is my most wanted, btw.)
Rate the pass, who I think are the most likely:
Geno
Doomslayer
Ryu Hayabusa
Crash
To quote myself (how egotistical of me):
I'd think of it as generic, for those four are/were tossed around often here.
Enough of these amateur passes! Time for the real ****!

Capcom's always great, and I guess I'd be down for Contra in Smash. No opinion on RCR or Hayabusa though.
ok but BESTEST PASS EVUR:
  • my most wanted
  • your least wanted
  • ur mum
  • Goku
:troll:
Remove "ur mum" and then it's a 10/10.
I have no attachment to River City Ransom, so replace them with Haggar or Axel Stone then this would be amazing.

I’ll do two lists, my ideal scenario & something a bit more realistic:

8: Dante
9: Leon Kennedy
10: Crash
11: Master Chief

8: Sol Badguy
9: Yuri Lowell
10: Master Chief
11: Mipha

I actually think Hayabusa is the most likely right now, but I didn’t include him just for some diversity lol
Both are acceptable. I haven't played much of the games referenced here, but for the ones I have, they're cool.
Ideal Final 4:
1. My most wanted
2. Your most wanted
3. Community most wanted (or runner up if the same as 1 or 2)
4. Wild Card
I guess it depends on your most wanted and the community's most wanted...

If I had to give an ideal pass:
1. Shantae
2. Heavy
3. Otto Matic
4. Agitha from Zelda Twilight Princess but plays like she's in Hyrule Warriors

Realistic:
1. Definitely not Otto Matic
2 - 4. Anyone else not mentioned above

He doesn't exist.

There is however, a Dr. Goomba Tower. :troll:
View attachment 289885
Why? Because we needed help from someone. Anyone.
I'm still a bit uncertain on Dr. Goomba Tower's qualifications...

Does the Mushroom Kingdom hand out Medical Degrees to whoever shows up to Dr. Mario and is not a Virus?

Well so far they've given a degree to a dinosaur, 6 babies, an ape, a monkey, someone who's already gotten one, but now he's a skeleton, 4 people who have already gotten one, but now they've changed their outfits slightly, a known thief, three Goombas in a lab coat, a dolphin, a sprite person that has left his game, a squid, and two ghosts.

The Mushroom Kingdom must somehow be having as worse year than we are.

I'd share my wishlist, but since two of the characters are a Pokémon and a BotW Champion, I know a majority of the responses would range from "meh" to "terrible".

I think the only way a decent number of people would like my list is if the last two characters were big requests like Crash and/or Sora.
