Game 1: 1. Banjo & Kazooie
I admire what Jade has been able to do, but no more beatable opponents. Dread it... run from it... Banjo still arrives.

Game 2: ABSTAIN
Maybe I'll decide later; for the moment, though, I just can't make up my mind one way or the other. Both have their merits.

Game 3: 5. Lloyd Irving
Tales of has done more to merit a spot, and Lloyd interests me more as a fighter, anyways.

Game 4: 3. Professor Layton
Don't really want either that much, but I guess Layton has earned it.

Game 5: 5. Amaterasu
Rayman is deserving, sure. What I've played of his series was good, but not necessarily great. Amaterasu is more interesting to me both in terms of style and moveset. I'm fine either way, though.

Game 6: 2. Simon Belmont
I oppose Sora.

Game 7: 4. Spyro
Crash is a great choice... but I'm just too biased towards Spyro. I am sorry.

Game 8: 2. Bomberman
Neku's moveset might turn out a bit better, if I had to guess, but Bomberman has earned this spot. Hard decision. Neku has done great, though!

Bonus Game: 2. Bomberman
Both are iconic, so why not pick the new series?

Am I the only one who looked up all the characters before voting?
You'd think that'd be a given, but the amount of "who"s makes me think people aren't interested in any of the characters that they don't already know.

Game 1: Banjo-Kazooie because I don't know anything about "Beyond Good and Evil."
Game 2: Tails, still my most wanted newcomer.
Game 3: Shovel Knight
Game 4: Shantae. Wayforward endorsed her.
Game 5: Rayman. Why give him a trophy if he won't ever appear?
Game 6: Simon Belmont. I may play more Kingdom Hearts and no Castlevania, but Captain N cast members would get more priority than a Disney property.
Game 7: Crash Bandicoot. Wow, he is up against his rival Spyro? Well, I've played many Crash games and only two Spyro games, so I'm more of a Crash fan.
Game 8: Neku. Well, if I had to vote against Sora, I'd vote for Neku to make up for it.

A bonus game? Someone changed their vote as a joke? The original vote should count more than the joke vote. But if I were to vote, it'll be Eggman. I'm more of a Sonic fan. I really want to vote the first-party round 1 that I missed. But I don't want my votes to change the results of an old bracket. The Zoologist's votes shouldn't have counted after you closed round 2 because I'm planning to show my lost votes later on.

Game 1: 1. Banjo & Kazooie (Well Jade, you had your run. I don't really care for BK but they definitely do deserve to be in Smash for sure.)
Game 2: 2. Phoenix Wright (I cannot stress this enough, Phoenix Wright is essentially a Nintendo icon. A great rep for the GBA era as well.)
Game 3:
5. Lloyd Irving (PLEASE win this one Lloyd. I'll be destroyed if Shovel Knight wins this. Nothing against the ol' chap, but I've wanted Lloyd in Smash since Brawl so I choose him of course.)
Game 4: 2. Shantae (I like both, but I already chose Phoenix Wright for the other game so I'll choose Shantae since she's different and pretty cool.)
Game 5: 5. Amaterasu (Rayman deserves to be in more, but I want Amaterasu more.)
Game 6: 3. Sora (Same as above.)
Game 7: 1. Crash Bandicoot (Number. One. Most. Wanted.)
Game 8: 2. Bomberman (Bye bye Neku, Bomberman deserves to be in more. Oh and Bomberman over Eggman as well.)

Game 1: 1. Banjo & Kazooie
Jade is going up against my number 1 my most wanted and I'm bitter she knocked out KOS-MOS

Game 2: 2. Phoenix Wright
Pretty indifferent to Tails but Nick is awesome

Game 3:5. Lloyd Irving
I still love Tales Of far more than Shovel Knight

Game 4:3. Professor Layton
Layton is cool

Game 5: 5. Amaterasu
Sorry I have no real love of Rayman and Okami is beautiful

Game 6:3. Sora
Castlevania is iconic but Kingdom Hearts pure bliss

Game 7: 1. Crash Bandicoot
Still have yet to play Spyro so can't vote for him

Game 8:6. Neku Sakuraba
Don't care for Bomberman but TWEWY is amazing

I'm a bit confused why people are talking about whether or not characters deserve to be in when this is a thread for the most wanted. Do you want them because you think they deserve to be in?

...Yeah. Smash Bros. is, for many people, a gathering of video game icons and a celebration of Nintendo history. If a character is more of an icon or has more to do with Nintendo, I think they should be in first. I want those who deserve it to be in because I like that integrity Smash has.

I don’t pretend to speak for anybody, but that feels like a pretty common sentiment around these boards.

Game 1: 1. Banjo & Kazooie I'm with Banjo & Kazooie til the end of the line! No contest here.
Game 2: 2. Phoenix Wright OBJECTION!
Game 3: 1. Shovel Knight Can't beat Shovel Knight!
Game 4: 2. Shantae Love Professor Layton but Shantae wins hands down.
Game 5: 1. Rayman No contest here.
Game 6: 2. Simon Belmont Likewise with Simon.
Game 7: 4. Spyro Gonna go with Spyro since I like his style a little bit more than Crash's craziness. Sorry Crash fans ;_;
Game 8: 2. Bomberman This is a pretty good selection of third partiers I would go ape **** over seeing in Smash for Switch!

Well, this game is just flying by, huh?

I find this top 16 really interesting to be honest. But I must come to a decision...


Game 1: Banjo & Kazooie
Game 2: Tails
Game 3: Shovel Knight
Game 4: Professor Layton
Game 5: Rayman
Game 6: Sora
Game 7: Crash Bandicoot
Game 8: Bomberman
(Bonus Game: Bomberman)

I am absolutely elated that Jade and Neku made it this far at all, and I wholeheartedly believe that their successes have implementations on how their series are regarded. Same with Lloyd Irving to an extent, though his fan favorite status has already been cemented. If they were in more favorable matchups, I would have voted for them for sure.

Game 1: Banjo
Game 2: Phoenix (god this was a hard one)
Game 3: Shovel Knight (most wanted 3rd party)
Game 4: Layton
Game 5: Rayman
Game 6: Simon (I oppose Sora)
Game 7: Crash (Spyro seems neat, but I'm more familiar with Crash and I supported him before the Switch port. Cool matchup tho)
Game 8: Bomberman

Easy choice. I have made my opinions on BG&E clear by now.

Game 2: Phoenix Wright

Close round, but I honestly want AA for the music.
Game 3: Shovel Knight

I like Lloyd but this was close.

Game 4: Layton

I actively do not want shantae.
Game 5:
Rayman

Stomp. Rayman is much higher for me.

Game 6: Sora

Close call but I love KH.

Game 7: Spyro

This is the hardest round for me. Spyro de to nostalgia. If the purple dragon survives this I will be hype.
Game 8: Neku

TWEWY is awesome.

Most of the "literally who" characters went against characters I actually care for, so I couldn't be bothered to do that.

I've been working on a bracket for first party and third party combined, which consists of 32 characters. If enough people are interested, maybe we could do that after the third party bracket concludes. 16 first party, 16 third party. The bracket layout would be the same as what Nimbo has with the 4 sections, except it is for 32 characters as opposed to 64.

Tentative brackets I made (tentative because they could change based on how the remaining third party characters do in their brackets:

Top Left
King K. Rool VS Jade
Waluigi VS Layton
Isaac VS Sora
Dixie Kong VS Spyro

Bottom Left
Shovel Knight VS Geno
Bomberman VS Chibi-Robo
Phoenix Wright VS Captain Toad
Rayman VS Andy

Top Right
Ridley VS Lloyd Irving
Bandana Waddle Dee VS Amaterasu
Takamaru VS Eggman (Opted for Eggman over Neku)
Decidueye VS Tails

Bottom Right
Crash Bandicoot VS Rex & Pyra
Shantae VS Spring Man
Simon Belmont VS Impa
Banjo & Kazooie VS Ashley

So, what do you guys think? I tried to make the matchups as different and fair as possible from the first and third party brackets, but I'm open to more changes. Even as I typed this, I could see some areas in which I could adjust things. Of course some matchups are inevitable, but I am trying to make it even.

Also, I have not taken the time figure out the seeding for this.

Seems to me that using the same characters would probably end up yielding pretty similar results. We’d get the top 2 from each bracket as the new top 4 and that’s that.

Well, Geno would have made a lot more sense for this bracket than the previous two brackets because of his ownership torn between Nintendo and Square Enix. And KOS-MOS as a Monolith Xeno character bought by Nintendo would be a gray area-party character fit for a mixed bracket.

No there's no grey area for KOS-MOS she belongs to Namco as does Xenosaga.

I don't care much about any of these characters and probably wouldn't bother participating.

Most wanted 3rd party round 3.png


Spyro vs. Crash was horrible. I prefered Spyro to Crash as a kid, but feel like Crash is a bigger name deserving of getting in Smash.

Gonna back Tails all the way even though I know he's doomed next round even if he does somehow beat Wright.

Game 1: 1. Banjo & Kazooie - Easy choice, good run by Jade
Game 2: 2. Phoenix Wright - For diversity, Tails unlucky.
Game 3: 1. Shovel Knight - A 50/50, am neutral on Indies but think Butt-Butt would be fun to play as
Game 4: 2. Professor Layton - Coin flip
Game 5: 1. Rayman - Made for Smash, he'll make it to the final four
Game 6: 2. Simon Belmont - Another genuinely tough one, we're due a Castlevania character, such an underrated franchise. Sorry Sora!
Game 7: 1. Crash Bandicoot - Like Spyro but like Crash a little more!
Game 8: 2. Bomberman - Neku who?

Not necessarily a problem if it is what you are going for, but are you trying to stage the game so that first parties make the Final Four in the upper brackets and third parties make it in the bottom two? Because the matchups certainly seem stacked that way to me, particularly in the top left (heavily skewed for first-party) and bottom right (heavily skewed for third-party). The fact that you have the third parties to be listed first in the bottom regions seem to suggest that as well.

Even if that was the plan, I probably wouldn't put Crash and Banjo in the same region- same goes for Shovel Knight and Rayman. Obviously its too early to say for sure, but I have a feeling those might be the Championship and Consolation games of this bracket, respectively. Crash & Banjo just seems like a stronger duo than Shovel Knight and Rayman. I could be wrong, of course; we'll just have to see.

There are some good matchups to be had here, though- Bomberman vs Chibi-Robo is one of my favorites. My concern still is that it just ends with a K. Rool and Ridley rematch. Maybe people are fine with that.
If you want, you can run that as bracket as well. I'd be happy retiring once the current bracket is complete. I'd still play either way.

AWWW MAAAAAN I didn't realise the 3rd party votes had even started. and now I've missed the first 2 rounds!
oh well, Guess I can at least join in for the last few.

looks like a fair few of my desired choices from the initial pool are already gone. but there's still quite a few here I'd love to see get in. so I can at least support them.

alright, here we go.

Game 1: Banjo & Kazooie vs Jade
Banjo & Kazooie

NO CONTEST. I don't even know who Jade is, meanwhile Banjo has been one of my most wanted characters in smash since the very beginning!

Game 2: Phoenix Wright vs Tails
Tails

While I don't feel like 3rd party franchises should get more than 1 rep. I will make an exception for Sonic just this once. although this was a very tough choice. I ultimately had to give it to my favorite fox

Game 3: Shovel Knight vs Lloyd Irving
Shovel Knight
Had you asked me a few months ago I'd have said "no way, Shovel Knight is cool and all, but Indies just don't belong in Smash" but I have changed my stance in recent times and now feel that as long as the character works in smash indies are ok, and Shovel Knight is the king of Indies. I LOVE his game. and he would fit super well in Smash. I have only just begun to dip my toes into the Tales of series. but it's quite nice, and Lloyd was a ton of fun to use in Super Smash Flash. so it hurt to vote against him. but Shovel Knight has really won me over.

Game 4: Shantae vs Professor Layton
Shantae

This was a bit of a toss up. I don't have much of an attachment to either character, having never played their games. so I just went with the one I found more interesting at face value.

Game 5: Rayman vs Amaterasu
Rayman

Similar to the last matchup, I don't really have much attachment to either character or franchise. but I have at least played a little Rayman. so I'll give him the vote.

Game 6: Simon Belmont vs Sora
Simon Belmont

Once again, 2 characters I have no real connection to, and while I intend to play Kingdom Hearts eventually. Simon just feels like a better choice to me for some reason.

Game 7: Crash Bandicoot vs Spyro
Crash Bandicoot.

woah. didn't expect to see these 2 matched up, Sony's 2 lost children. both have some history with Nintendo, and both would be cool. it was a pretty hard choice, but I ultimately decided to give the vote to Crash since I have more of an attachment to him.

Game 8: Bomberman vs Neku Sakuraba
Bomberman

TWEWY is a game I've always been interested in. and I have played some of it. Neku was a pretty neat character and the game was fun. so like many characters in these games, it hurts to vote against him. but there's just something about Bomberman that makes me feel like he BELONGS in smash.
