Hmm, it's like some sort of bad fan-fic, pictures included.I voted for Pichu. Because we need more levity in Smash.
Hmm, I'm not quite sure if my requested character would fall under that special category, all things considered.I can remember Sakurai saying that he wasn't just going to let characters from other companies join in unless it's a special case. Mega Man was in "a class of his own".
My guess is that 3rd party characters probably will have to be extremely special. Shovel Knight would be awesome, but his chances may be slim even with a significant backing.
I'm gonna guess it's some developer/console baloney and cheese sandwich thing (meaning characters with a lot of Nintendo console games would be more likely).I can remember Sakurai saying that he wasn't just going to let characters from other companies join in unless it's a special case. Mega Man was in "a class of his own".

I agree with this in every way, shape, and form.Back to the topic of Smash: I think Sakurai's rules on 3rd party characters were that they must originate from a video game, so no anime or cartoon characters.
In that case, i'll be hiding in my fort.That is a declaration of war.
So, Reckless Safety Notice Man confirmed?By the way, a Nintendo rep made some things clear about the ballot...
"I can certainly understand your interest in if third-party characters are eligible for the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot. I want to assure you that you are able to submit any video-game character for this ballot. While we are unable to guarantee your suggested character will become a Super Smash Bros. Fighter, rest assured, we do take all feedback into consideration."
I could understand King K. Rool in a way, with him being the original antagonist of the DKC series. Although his size is a bit of an issue.https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHjd5hnYlQ
>King K. Rool
>Porky Minch
This post upsets me quite a bit. He just named two of the characters I'd hate to see in Smash.
OK, I'm sorry, but... Let me explain myself here.
I know K. Rool is a really popular choice and has a TON of supporters here on SmashBoards, but I've seen clips of his boss battle in Donkey Kong Country, and he appears to be about twice the size of DK in that game. Considering Donkey Kong is already one of the "big" characters in Smash... How would they make it work? And don't get me started on his size in DK64... I mean, I do apologize to K. Rool's many supporters, but think about it.
And Porky... Really? In Brawl, isn't he a boss character? He fights inside that machine, right? And I recall it being pretty big, too, even large enough to STAND on top of it! So again with the size problem. Yes, they COULD scale it down, I suppose, but would it really make sense? Would they be able to do it without having it look strange when compared to other characters? I'm not so sure, honestly. But either way, we did just get Lucas confirmed, isn't that enough to ask for in terms of Mother series representation?
Again, sorry for stating this kind of opinion here, but I've been trying to hold it in until now. When I saw that Miiverse post, though, I just couldn't take it anymore... I had to let it out. It also really rubs me the wrong way when people ask for certain third party characters, especially those whose series is already being represented in Smash.
Example: Zero from the Mega Man series. I once saw a request for him in the popular posts of the Smash Community, just the other day in fact, and it was rather frustrating for me...
((By the way... If you disagree with any of my opinions, please don't respond to me here in this topic. Start a conversation with me instead, so that we don't get off-topic here. Thank you.))
But anyway...

Oh boy, just what we need: More Goku! I don't care how good your drawing is, he's not going to be a Smash Fighter...
I love it how he's implying they get three character slots.Someone people just need to learn when to give up.

The comments are pretty good too. XDSince I've been quite into Fire Emblem- Awakening recently, I decided to take a look at its community to see if I could find some gold..... Or in this case, copper.
And sure enough...
