Your deep seeded hatred for Mimikyu based on a unsavory interaction with a supporter is reaching a rather questionable state. Mimikyu, whether it gets in or not, has nothing to do with the poster as the character was never designed in the manner of action the poster acted. You are taking your dislike of the person overboard to direct it at the character instead. Which I guess is fine to a degree, but I hope you realize this attitude will turn people off of Decidueye in the same manner you got turned off Mimikyu as people will link the Pokemon to "that really angry and extreme" fan as you are doing to Mimikyu. AKA you're just breeding the "bad fan" motif the Smash fandom is known for and has already stapled onto other characters like Daisy and Krystal.
I am very confused as to why you're bringing this up. All I was saying is that I wanted someone to tell me when it's Mimikyu's day.

implement theirown little spin, in their case it is a penalty towards dev time being spent on them instead of their favored picks (which i am guessing is Neku and a real ganondorf). Want is entirely subjective. Just make sure your rating is clear and its all good in my book.

and others have made great posts. If I did not mention your name do not worry, any post with a paragraph of reason to their vote is a great post in my opinion. I hope that in the future we get more great days about public debate. Looking at the upcoming schedule I think that Funky Kong, Sans, Spyro, and Mimikyu will be very interesting days.
The problem is most people aren't really interested in discussing the characters, they just post and go until a character they actually care about comes along. I mean that's totally fine but it really isn't fostering much discussion when it seems a majority of posters don't even read other people's posts in this thread. I wish more people actively wanted to discuss instead of this just being a popularity contest.
I know. I get nettled when someone posts after I end the day because it tells me that they do not even read the damn thread. I want this thread to have more discussion. Some of my favorite days were Daisy, Sora, and Lycanroc due to the relatively high amounts of discussion. I want this thread to have more discussion. I know on some days like Blue Bowser there is not much to discuss, but sometimes it is best for there to be discussion. For example, people might give Mike Jones, a character who has never appeared in Japan and whose greatest claim to fame is being on the NES mini rn, is more likely than Henry Flemming or Tethu. For the record, I actually do not support either of those two, which can be seen with my ranking. This is not attacking anyone, but posting a few lines of text that explain why your score is the way it is would go a long way.
You definitely haven’t played StarTropics if you think Mike doesn’t have moveset potential. As a Zelda-esque game, he has a lot of tools and weapons at his disposal.
Yeah, I guess so, I just meant not huge moveset potential. A lot of newcomers these days have extremely unique and out of the box (sometimes gimmicky) movesets. Puppeteer Rosalina, realistic boxer Little Mac, breakable weapons Robin... Mike Jones seems to be working with everyday stuff to me. Not saying that's not likable, I actually gave him a relatively high Want because he seemed like an average joe. However, in the context of Chance: the growing standards of movesets sets a high bar for Mike to be included mostly because of a moveset offsetting his glaring negatives. He'd definitely be a playable fighter but not "whoa!" enough to justify an inclusion these days.
There's no doubt that most all newcomers can be great. The point is that some characters have movesets inherently more unique and innovative than anybody else. A moveset that is much more realizable immediately to the developers makes it easier for a character to be added in. A big reason for Robin being added was because Sakurai could "see him dancing in his head", he had an instantly realizable moveset that made Sakurai go "we should put this in." Meanwhile, characters like Villager and Pac-Man took a lot more creativity as Villager at first "wasn't a fighter" and Pac-Man was "just some circle with a mouth" to Sakurai upon first impression. That's why these characters took a few games to make it in, their chances were diminished by little instantly recognizable moveset potential. Moveset potential does play a role in the objectivity of chances and should be considered. While Mike Jones is definitely better of than Villager and Pac-Man in the implementable moveset sense, he still has a long way to go to meet an obvious standard newcomer moveset.
While this is true to an extent, I feel the speculation community at large is taking this idea a bit too far, assuming that just because Sakurai went back on his word and gave Villager a unique moveset, it can happen for literally anyone and anything. Just because the man "can make any character work" doesn't mean that he should; if that logic were universally applied, we might have such icons as the Nintendo Gamecube fighting in Smash. This is the main problem I have with the idea of adding characters who are completely lacking in unique moves or even basic abilities like Captain Toad, or with Rosalina in her current state; they have to be intentionally misrepresented to a gross degree in order to be shoehorned into the game for the sake of so-called "relevancy" or whatever. Taking a few creative liberties for the sake of adding a character who's not necessarily combat-oriented is fine - we've seen that countless times - as long as their moveset's still at least somewhat based in that character's (or that character's series in the case of solo reps like Villager and Game & Watch) unique abilities and attributes, but if we have entire movesets being pulled out of asses, then we'll have a problem.
It was a YouTube video, one of those top ten most wanted characters lists, that I watched in 2011, which said that he was considered for Brawl. I don't remember which one though. It's totally understandable if you want to take it with a grain of salt.
The thing is though, is that yesterday there was alot to talk about because there were alot of misconceptions, possiblities and results to talk about, it was a discussion that people seem to be worth enough to discuss about (ex. Lycanroc).
