Even if that poll is small, a good portion of its votes aren’t wrong.

If you look across multiple sites and polls, a good portion of those characters( Geno, Rex, doom guy, Sora, etc) consistently show up.

And it’s unlikely there’s much overlap between the same people voting on the different polls each time.

Meaning to a degree, some of those characters are high tier wants for sure, but a full number on who is ranked higher or lower will never be able to be determined, only which characters are frequently popular amongst polls

I know Steve is high up in some polls, like that big fan ballot on Twitter earlier this year; Steve ranked higher in its Japanese counterpart. Another Japanese poll had Steve at #1, but I think it had a smaller sample size and it was for who people predicted (though some of the predictions fit fan want polls), and it came from a YT channel.

Daemon Ex Machina is releasing in a couple of days. Is anyone here excited for it?
The demo was kind of fun...but I still think that I'm going to wait for reviews and a price drop before I buy it. Besides, Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age: Definitive Edition launches on September 27 for the Nintendo Switch!

I actually don’t. But considering Danny and Aron frequently do animation and vo work for their videos (on purpose. Not just the ones that get made based on their playsessions), I think they’ve got the chops to do good vo work. Besides. Since when has any dub job actually REQUIRED talented voice acting? We all know that you don’t get the go ahead to dub an anime or video game unless you performance is suitably ****ty. Doubly so for a NINTENDO game (assuming we’re talking about Smash)
Arin hasn’t animated in YEARS, as far as I know. He gave it up because playing video games with a microphone hooked up is easier and pays more, so he does that completely.

While that may sound like a harsh way to put it, OneyNG, an Internet animator from the same generation as Arin, has his Let’s play channel (an actually funny one) to get funding for actual animation projects. He’s currently working on a video game done in his signature style.

If you can’t tell, I’m not a fan of Egoraptor nowadays.

Where's my boy Arthur in these polls :urg:
He is the third iconic character of Capcom after Megaman and Ryu.
At least Geno and Doomguy seems requested. :)

The only argument I think against Steve and Alex is the fact that it could cost too much for Nintendo to get them into the game, but idk how it really works.

After Terry, it's going to take a while for me to seriously discuss any poll.

Dog I ain’t gonna take my own life the same month a new Pokémon game comes out.

How am I not gonna play the new Pokémon game? That’s blasphemy in my book.

I’ll kill anyone who tries to stop me from playing the new Pokémon game.

I’ve got something else planned.
Ok good.

I know I'm not around much, but I'd hate to lose you man.

Wow. No wonder the internet is the way it is. For every person with a group of people who idolize and love their content, there's an equally strong group of people who hate them with a burning passion for no real reason other than they don't like their content.

Same.

People really slept on Terry’s chances, more so around Discord.

Most people were so invested on speculating about Doomguy or Undertale back then that they didn’t notice any of the stuff going for Terry’s favour (SNK’s strong relationship with Nintendo, their huge support of the Switch with the arcade archives series and many Neo Geo ports, KoF being related with Smash’s origins or SNK’s huge presence in South America).
When the second the SNK leak dropped on the Discord servers I was in, the speculation literally changed at an incredible pace from “Is Tracer, Sans or Doomguy Fighter 4?” to “OH MY GOD WE DIDN’T SEE THIS COMPANY COMING”.

Perhaps, but Minecraft has the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack on all of its Nintendo releases, plus there’s the Creeper 3DS and the Play Nintendo site had Steve & Alex as an answer for the question “who would you want to go on a field trip with?” in some quiz or something. Microsoft is very lenient with Mojang and their game, and Nintendo likes the game, so I don’t think it’d be anymore difficult than Banjo at least.

No offense, but I don't think Arthur is even the fifth most iconic Capcom character when you have Chun-Li, Ken, Zero, Dante, Phoenix Wright and Resident Evil protags.

Can’t really give you advice about Overwatch, never played it.

Just like with anything else, keep at it. Practice makes perfect. But dont be afraid to take breaks from the game if you need to. Your health is most important.

There is alot of reasons to not like Arin out there, notably his horrible attitude about any games that isn't Zelda: ATTLP or Mega Man X, his constant need to put annoying voices for many characters, his need to show how bad every Sonic games are no matter their qualities, and his tendancy to blame the game any time he make a error, even when it's very cleary his fault.

So no, there is reasons to not like him, and peoples should be allowed to critize him without being called "haters" or other weak names like that.

Well then, now that we're on the topic, do you guys have any ideas on which potential newcomer who's barely speculated about, that has a strong amount of criteria in their favor of being a DLC fighter in the future?

What pisses me off the most is when I get gold on heals to help my team and I get spammed and ranted at anyway.

SORA
Being real, I feel like people (myself included lol) underplay his chances. He's got a decent chance at being Fighter #5, and a good chance at being bonus DLC.

Okay. These are good reasons to criticize people. These are not good reasons to dislike people or call them a bad person.

If Sakurai can maneuver his way through the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Sora’s basically confirmed in my book.

Do you know at least why Bidoof doesn't like Arin? For all you know, he could have good reasons why he feel this way, how about asking him instead of just labelling him a hater?

You think Terry's gonna have slow ground speed? I'm asking because I realized that every DLC character so far has a decent-good run speed. Plant's 1 spot away from being faster than half of the cast, Hero's top 30 in run speed, and Banjo and Joker are both top 20 in run speed, Banjo is almost top 10.

I once had a theory that, since Sora was actually owned by Disney but everyone perceived him as a Square character, and since Geno is owned by Square but everyone perceives him as a Mario Rep, that he would add Geno as a “literal Square Rep” and Sora as a “spiritual Square Rep”.

I personally don’t think he’ll be that fast, though not super slow either. A little slower than Hero Sandwich.

Then again maybe he’s got some move from his games that lets him run at lightning speed or something.

You think there could be two square characters in the same pass?

Just going off the shotos as a frame of reference I think he'll be at least average. It's been a while since I've played either of them but from what I recall their grounded movement isn't that bad.

As TPC told me a few days ago I don't even think Sora is considered a Square rep more just that he's a Disney rep that can only be used with Square's permission. Hell they even make nods towards Sora in Disney theme parks such as Disney land and whatnot. Apparently he's more of a Disney rep than anything.

I don’t hate him with a burning passion for no reason. I just think making haha poop fart boner sex funny jokes, while making uneducated, objectively wrong criticisms about a piece of media to millions of people, isn’t good.
He’ll skip tutorials then claim the game is bad at giving directions, which people will believe. He’ll go into every Sonic game with a negative attitude, ridiculing the entire franchise as a joke and saying there is nothing of worth, leaving his fans to believe the same and **** on anyone who says anything positive about any Sonic game.

This is even worse when you add it to the context of him lecturing SrPelo on twitter for making a video poking fun at Storytime animations. SrPelo’s video was all in good fun with no malicious intent, with many storytime animators participating as guests. Arin, however, took the moral high ground and went on about how bad it is to mock people for their interests even just for a joke, especially when you have a large audience, and how it doesn’t make anything better.
Multiple Sonic fans fired back, saying that because of Arin’s uneducated criticisms for the sake of comedy made trying to talk about their favorite series in any positive way a visceral hellscape for the entire fandom.

I used to love his work, and it’s some of the stuff that inspired me to go into animation, but there’s a reason a lot of his fans, along with most of his friends from the newgrounds days, don’t associate with him anymore and cut off ties. He’s a different person now. He’s not an artist. He’s a businessman.

Saying that Sakurai actively thinks about “Company reps” are already a stretch.

He didn’t really say. All he really said was that he..... well.... hated him.
I never said that in any of my posts. Please don’t put words in my mouth.

Speaking of Sora, the new trailer for the KHIII DLC looks pretty dope, even some new team attacks and new forms!

He never said he hated him, the only thing he said in the post you're refering to is that he wasn't a fan of him, which is as far as I can tell, doesn't put him strictly as a hater, unless not being a fan of someone is hatred in your eyes.

Now, he showed in another post why he doesn't like Arin at all those days, but you just can't call someone a hater based off 1 post.
