SMASH NEWCOMERS POLL (Closes in May)

[Pkjoan]

Which newcomer you want?

Which newcomer you want?

This isn't Short's poll. It just isn't the same.

For the record we already have a poll thread.

 

[Knight Dude]

There is already a character poll on this site. You might wanna wait until whatever stuff at E3 is shown. Then you could probably make a new one.

 

[N3ON]

This poll is fairly pointless. We've got a thread about this already, with a better poll. I'm all for a lock.

Shortie is making a new one for post-E3. That'll probably be the one everyone uses. No need for more.

 

[Neanderthal]

Dark Samus is on the poll twice.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Where the hell is Geno on this poll.

Not going to use it

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Now that I actually take a look at this poll...

What's with some of the choices?

Mispelling of Chrom?

Dark Samus twice?

Shadow?

MM Link?

Skull Kid?

Pokemon Trainer 2?

And where are Palutena and Dillon?

 

[Neanderthal]

The only character poll that wouldn't be a repeat of what we've seen a million times would be: a poll in which we need to choose who we THINK will get into SSB4 as opposed to who we WANT.

Ah, Sorry. I didn't know that anyone called dibs on a post E3 poll. BTW, did anyone do a stage poll? If not, I wanna do it myself.

No worries, Shorts is just sort of the unofficial "poll guy" since he's been doing it for a couple years already. As for a stage poll, yeah, Starphoenix has one. They're being amalgamated for the post-E3 poll though, possibly with some other stuff as well.

EDIT: Here's the link to the current stage poll.

Thanks for telling me. But damn, I wanted to do one myself. Oh well.

If you want I have a certain poll planned as well.

We could work on it together.

Maybe a poll on Multiplayer modes? Adventure mode stages? Or poll on what bosses to fight against? Got any other ideas?

IIRC Shortie's also got ATs, bosses, and music covered, in case you were planning any of those.

@Swampasaur and kewlusername

I suggest you talk about it using PM's. Don't spoil the secrets here.

 

[Deleted member]

Mewtwo and Roy don't count as newcomers. They appeared in Melee but didn't show up in Brawl.

Projected Main for SSB4: although people say that Impa maybe replacement

I want Impa.

 

[Gingerbread Man]

^blew my mind.

Something different entirely.

Pfft. Already covered.. Emailed him way before you posted that.

 

[FlareHabanero]

This poll is bad and you should feel bad.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

Where's Master Chief, Cloud, Magikarp, Birdo, Daisy, Kratos, Nathan Drake and Vectorman?
Also this poll needs more

 

[BluePikmin11]

We need an obscure character poll instead. But it's still on the Nintendo character criteria.

Oh! Don't worry. Daisy in on that poll.

Having trouble with your eyesight?

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

HWHAT! O_O

Oh ****. Uh...well is BABY DAISY on the poll? Sorry I can't read

Master Chief, Kratos and Nathan Drake aren't 3rd parties nor Nintendo characters, so they're out of the question. Daisy is on the poll.

I know this is obviously a troll, but seriously, Vectorman would be pretty awesome in Smash.

The least Sega could do is put him in some Sega All-Stars game. He gets no love.

He was joking dude.

Vectorman would be the shiznit.
But seriously. Smash Bros. needs more Shaq

JUST IMAGINE IT!

Final Smash: Icy Hot Patch.
Shaq freezes everyone on screen and then burns them alive as they get sent flying off the screen. He then squeezes himself into a car that is clearly too small for him and he drives off.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

He was joking dude.

Actually I wasn't

 

[Pkjoan]

Troll Confirmed

 

[Ben Holt]

Mewtwo, Roy, Saki, Isaac, Ridley, Goroh, Skull Kid, Megaman, Bowser Jr., Shulk, K. Rool, Waluigi, Ghirahim, and Little Mac.

Not on the list, but I'd also like to see Toad, Dr. Mario, Pac-Man, and Miis.
That would be my 18 perfect newcomers.

 

[Banjodorf]

The one thing I'll say about this poll is that I find the concept of a Dark/Psychic/Fighting triad incredibly interesting. However, since typing has little to do with Smash, and I've already given my two cents on the whole "This ruins Red's gimmick" thing, I'm just going to say meh.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

The one thing I'll say about this poll is that I find the concept of a Dark/Psychic/Fighting triad incredibly interesting.

You know, there was a post on Screwattack a while back about why stuff that older Pokemon fans want to change wont change, and it mentioned the possibility of a Dark/Psychic/Fighting starter trio. It's right here if you want to give it a read.

 

[Banjodorf]

That's definitely an interesting way of looking at it. GIven the aloof way that the Pokemon devs (or at least the creator) seem to look at these things the fans tend to overanalyze, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't look at it that way.

Well...I can't find the article, but he had never imagined stuff like the inside of a Pokeball, or some other things I actually found shocking from a developer with so much imagination.

As far as new types, I'm one of those people that doesn't buy the whole "The game doesn't need it" when things like that come in and shake things up intentionally. It's purpose is to keep things from going stale. I also get that there's people that don't think that way about Pokemon, so there's some contention here or there.

The starter triangle makes sense to me, the whole tutorial thing, but I think the "It's one of the easiest to understand" is overdoing it a bit. That kind of thing is incredibly subjective. Kudos to the article though!

 

[Ben Holt]

I don't understand people wanting to replace Red. He's the most iconic Pokemon protagonist, and he's not going anywhere.

 

[Deleted member]

I guess Ridley will transition from boss to playable character. We need more Metroid reps.

 

[FalKoopa]

I'm going to report this thread so that it gets locked. Any objections?

 

[goldglover5]

In all, Dark Samus got 4 votes.

Yes, wait!

Okay go ahead now.

 

[FalKoopa]

Ok, reported it.
