Everytime I try to check on the VGTribune poll, I get an "Internal Server Error". Wonder if this has anything to do with the poll....

Other than having numbers you can use for an argument, why do y'all give so much importance to polls?

Chances are that Sakurai's no looking at them nor will he give them any mind.

Sakurai has run polls before, but only in Japan. Many people are hoping to find a Western poll so that we an have our voices heard as well.

I agree with ~automatic. I only see polls as a way to kill time waiting for the game for the ones who are voting and that the poll creator to find out what people are interested in.

And I severely doubt we'll get any official polls anytime soon. The earliest I can see one happening is a month or two after first trailer is officially revealed (possibly E3 2013). And there is a great chance that the official poll will only be available in Japanese, just like the last 2 games (that's why I went ahead and obtained all of the Japanese names of the characters I want to see in the game just in case an official poll pops up).

Skull Kid now has the most votes with 51260...most he got within a few hours

That poll is REALLY fishy

Probably a group of people rigging the results to become one big joke. Knowing raids, the votes are possibly coming from 4chan's /v/.

Yeah,I didn't mind him in OoT and MM but that little overrated Stalfos Kid really got on my nerves in TP.He's not as famous as Toon Link or Vaati plus I don't see a good moveset for him.

Who was saying a character with disembodied limbs like Rayman wouldnt work?
Don't Olimar's Pikmin count as the same thing?

EDIT: Oh Dang That was WAY Back in this thread,

I know, right?
I mean, I don't really like the idea of Shulk winning a poll against Isaac, but Skull Kid?
Seriously, why the Hell people consider him a good character?
There is a number of Zelda characters that are WAY better than him. Why do people even try?

My hope is that his sudden elevation to the top is either cheating or 4chan trolling.

Well, at least Ridley and Isaac are still fighting.
Poor Geno! ;(

Considering the small amount of time, and the large amount of people voting, I'm convinced it's cheating.

Skull Kid has never been the most popular choice, even in his prime.

I don't see why you guys are so interested in this poll.
Any poll that has Dunsparce in the lead for new characters in a Smash game should immediatly be laughed off as a joke. Like if Sakurai takes this poll seriously, I will have to strangle someone, as half of these characters are jokes.

To change the topic from that meaningless poll, I have a question: We all know that Sakurai said that one of the requirements for a 3rd party character to appear in Smash is the character must have been on a Nintendo system at least once. My question is do games that were first appeared on a Nintendo system via Wii's or 3DS's Virtual Consoles count?

I have no characters on my wishlist that's involved with that question but this has been bugging me for a very, VERY long time.

No they don't count simply because they aren't big enough releases.:cool:

Theres also something Ive been wondering about 3rd party characters but I guess you can call this a joke. Snake came on the nes I think? Either way his game was on a nintendo system. What about wiiu? Like snake was a realistic person. what about commander shepard from mass effect or others coming on the wiiu? Again many will consider this a joke but still...

Mass Effect characters would qualify under what Sakurai said. Plus they're from a franchise which is currently very hot atm giving "hardcore" gamers (God, I hate that term) a reason to look into the game even if they're not interested in Nintendo's traditional lineup representation.

The point of his rule is to curb the amount of stupid suggestions (or expectations) by people. Super Smash Bros is not supposed to be PSABR.

A guy can dream if, and only if, they're willing to withstand people who enjoy crushing people's dreams.

Taking the subject away from characters,how good will the stage editor be?Will it be the same as Brawl's but with more backgrounds and pieces or will it be able to make stages as detailed as the ones Sora and Namco made themselves?Because if that's the case classic stages from past games could be remade!If we're lucky we might even be able to make Story Levels and Events!Fingers crossed!

That would be neat. It's wishful thinking, but with the Wii U tablet... more things could be coming our way.

on music in smash 3ds. Music can be compressed, music can have a lesser quality on a handheld because the necessity of a high quality file is uneccessary to the speakers of the hardware.

as for characters, reduce the polygon count, no one would care. in fact, that is what they are going to do. deal with it.
I think what could happen (if the 3DS smash is released before the WiiU smash) is that a lot of the music could be (free) DLC saved onto your 3DS. I think the same thing with all other content that finds its' way into Smash WiiU (if it comes out later).

That or such content could be "exchanged" and "transferred" to the 3DS Smash (which would be easier to do IMO).

Yes, I really have overdone my theory on the possibility of Smash 3DS coming out before Smash WiiU! :laugh:

(Uses Max Revive on thread)That's better.:cool:It will be interesting how they handle the story mode.Brawl's was good but it had a lot of flaws(no color swap:().I think they should bring back primids and some other enemies from Brawl(that sumo thing that changes color is so cute:bee:)and mix them with enemies from the from the fighters' series other than Mario(E.G stalfos,moblins,waddledees and metroids etc.)Another idea of mine is that every series has a level dedicated to it that has nothing to do with the main story(E.G Zelda has a Hyrule level)that is unlocked by doing a certain action as a certain character(E.G play as Link,Zelda and Toon Link five times each to unlock the Zelda level).That's my idea of story mode,hope it happens(why does Sakurai not listen to non Japanese fans,why?).

@asage94:Any poll that even has Dunsparce as a candidate shouldn't be taken seriously lol.:206:

Story mode wasn't bad. It just wasn't a huge collision of universes with explosions and characters talking like everyone expected.

The levels aren't unique to chars/franchises because the events of SSE take place in the common Smash universe (which is somewhere between the Kid Icarus and Mario universes) and not in a continuum in which everything comes together.

That's true, but they could have done more to make the levels play differently. I want to see stuff like the ZSS/Snake levels being stealth missions rather than the same repetitive 2D-beat 'em up as every other level.

I never said I didn't like Story in Brawl,I just said it had a few flaws.Did you read my post?I said the levels based on the characters' worlds would have nothing to do with the story!:smirk:@~auto:Voice acting in Smash?I can imagine it:Link:...........Mario:It's a go time!:rolleyes:

I'm just so used to reading people ***** about SSE not being what they imagined that I must have thrown your post in that pile as a mental slip.

This thread is really slowing down.Where is everybody?Or have they just lost interest?I have read the whole thread and I remember a lot more posts than this!Anyway I know this was mentioned earlier(page 21) that water battles may be the "change of direction"Sakurai mentioned.It could be that you can swim or land on the seabed and fight with less gravity.Fire attacks like Bowser and Charizard's flamethrower don't work and certain stages flood and drain again while some have permanent water.It would really be a game changer and mix things up a bit.
@asage94:Yeah,that poll is made by and for trolls.:troll:

Well, with the disband of Project Sora, I think people lost hope in SSB4 having any resemblance to the previous smash games. It may just end up being like ****ing Soul Calibur but with less swords.

Project Sora =/= Sora Ltd. PS was just a studio formed by Sakurai to work on Kid Icarus Uprising. And people need to get over this Namco thing, SAKURAI I STILL WORKING ON THE DAMN GAME.

Namco is only helping Sora Ltd make the game.Don't expect anything ridiculous(JRPG characters getting in other than Shulk).;)
