If Shovel Knight really is already in development there's really no point in waiting until the ballot ends. It's not like a sudden influx of votes at the end of September is going to make them scrap all the work they've done on Shovel Knight so far.
I think it's worth noting that the ballot is not a democratic vote-off. It is, for all intents and purposes, a glorified suggestion box.

Question: Since this post is 3-4k words, should I spoiler tag it so the page isn't huge?

you know why I really questioned it why they call it a "ballot".

I mean, I did one 500 characters vote (took hours) because I know it matters if I EXPLAIN my stuff.

it's not like quantity matter THIS much, it matters, but isn't everything.

Actually some of us on the Bandana Dee thread found that we may be getting four fighters as DLC.

Eh, I can kinda see why. Because if it did come down to numbers it'd be mostly spam and bots.

So we've got it semi-confirmed there's more than one ballot character. We all thought as much, but it's nice to have pseudo-confirmation.
Yeah, Sakurai said "Several more characters" and that they'd be for the fans, so I'd say it's confirmed that there's at least 2 if not 3 (possibly 4) more characters coming our way.

explain?

because I find it unlikely tbh.....
A lot of the people there, me included, think that since DLC Character Bundle #1 was 4 characters that would mean Nintendo would have committed to that number for the next one, not sure if that's the way it will go, but I hope that helps.

I don't know what to believe anymore. Too confusing right now.
Up is down, left is right, Donald Trump is the next President and Fant4stic is the best movie of the year.

I see a Rayman leak ending, with disappointment and nothing to look forward at the end of the day...

So the amiibo figure is real.
Being in Smash though, is still up in the air.

Meh, the outcome is going to be bad (as in, overwhelmingly negative, salt/rage/whatever) regardless.

On a different topic, what would your reaction be if the fanservice Sakurai said he was going to include from now on wasn't of the literal variety?:troll:

Do what anyone in my shoes would do:
Complain and whine that this is the end on Nintendo and I will forever hate them over a bunch of pixels and models. It's only logical.

@Tama, I don't suppose you know anything about Shantae, or any other characters, do you? I mean, SK can't be the only one, right.......?
