Sir, if I may, you are taking this too seriously.
The moral of the day is, don't let Sakamoto have sole involvement with any non-remake Metroid.
I thought it was Chunky that had that problem.
He becomes a director for a day and adds Adam into smash, his main gimmick being he doesn't allow the other fighters to do certain moves.
It's actually my second favorite Metroid game, behind Zero Mission.
Fair enough. The portrayal of Samus' mentor/father figure ought to have been kept consistent in both games, tho.
That's more on Other M and less on Fusion.
I wouldn't call it a moral quest, but it IS a matter of passion. I don't mean to make waves at all. I feel I've been civil enough, and far be it from me to blame anyone who may not be a fan of this character if they don't "get" the fuss over it, but I will not relent in any of my stances. I feel there is value in having him and will not concede to being tabled part of an idea that's "Over-hyped" when such is the case for every newcomer ever. You'll always have those that take it too far, and while I do not intend to be one of them, my support comes from what I feel is a justified place. K. Rool being in is not a make or break thing, but it IS something i feel strongly about. This will continue just as it has for me since Melee.
Heard. Didnt see this. Sorry.
I don't recall hearing much about Isaac during the ballot period. So I don't know how hard his fanbase pushed compared to others.
My hope is "Well. At least in Europe (where he is apparently popular)". He could have done well.
Since I haven't played any of his games (and haven't heard of any kind of explosive popularity), I wouldn't put money on him. Then again, I wouldn't put money on anyone.
I can see it.
You might be sleeping on Skull Kid. While the ballot was great and I do believe we will see almost all of our newcomers from it it isn’t perfect and Sakurai knows it. Before people gave up on Ridley he almost always beat K Rule in terms of popularity. And yet here we are with Ridley. Most polls you look at don’t have any Zelda newcomers because people have given up hope but the reality is that before Smash 4 at least 3 Zelda characters used to place higher than Kirby characters which based off of ballots taken in 2016 Bandana Dee was in the second quartile. Sakurai knows the ballot wasn’t perfect. What I think is really going to help him is his undying fan support like Ridley had. It’s been almost two decades since his games release. And yet the love for his game is still going strong with Nintendo recognizing it. I don’t know I just don’t think you can have an ultimate roster with the lack of new Zelda content for 20 years. Also impa doesn’t cut it. That’s just people trying to justify someone from Zelda who can get in.Alright my dudes, here's an initial version of a newcomer pool I did for fun. I'm looking to add onto it, but for now these are characters that I believe have a shot at getting into Smash Ultimate. Whether or not they have a good chance is irrelevant, because I personally think anybody on this list has some sort of chance.
While I do think Spring Man or a Rex and Pyra team might be just too late for roster selection (Spring Man moreso) I still think they've got a shot. The newcomer icon is for the usual retro/Sakurai pick. I'm not going to take a wild guess on the wildcard pick like, because I will without a doubt be way off, most likely.
What do you think? Who else should I add?

Yes, although didn't Miyamoto have a say in his creation?
Yes, created by Rare, a British company.
1. I'd imagine he did alright. He definitely has a good following among some of the lesser known characters, though I don't know how much it'll mean in the long run.
The Isaac group was more or less as strong as we were during the beginning of Smash 4 speculation. Most people have resigned themselves to the fact that he’s never getting in though so they might have thrown their votes another way. I think project M, smash flash 2, and smashified helped keeps people’s spirits alive.
Always great to have hope. It's unfortunate for a lot of most wanted characters (mine is Lip and I don't see her making it in personally), but sometimes hope is all ya got to go off on. In Isaac's case, the fan games definitely gives me a nice idea of how fun he could be in Smash. I've imagine this like whole scenario of Isaac fighting Ness with PSI vs Psynergy.
For those of you who are interested check out operation moon fall. It’s positive fan potitions like that that get recognized by Nintendo. Cough cough like the one that brought shulk into America and then into smash cough cough
Do you know what would really hurt?
Not to mention those of us who liked the first 2 Golden Sun's didn't take too kindly to Dark Dawn for the most part.
Had his latest game come out earlier, I would've been more confident in him but when development of Ultimate began he had no more going for him then he did at the beginning of Sm4sh.
I thought Dark Dawn was released in 2010?
Successful fan petitions I can think of are the ones that got Xenoblade and Digimon Cyber Sleuth into the west.
And you know what happened shortly thereafter?
How would you feel if Ninten became an Echo Fighter of Ness?
Yes it was in 2010. Just confirmed it.
Would be fine with it tbh, though I somewhat hope it doesn't happen.
It's the only in the series I've played but have watched my brother play the first two. Didn't really have a problem with Dark Dawn.
at the time of Ballot release. Ballot was 2015, Dark dawn was released late 2010
A one-on-one fight between Ninten and Ness would get very confusing, very quick. Even moreso than Pit/Dark Pit and the hypothetical Samus/Dark Samus.
Imagine having to be the commentator of that match, and if both players used a similar color alt.
