I would still talk about this after the results of the Ballot, and if they WON'T feature Dixie as the chosen fighters. K.Rool is really popular indeed, but it's not a guarantee to make us reconsider P:M-slots instead (which might never happen, actually)
That's just a poll from members of the smash bros subreddit, I'm a member there but I didn't bother voting.
When I get this moveset completely drawn out and the all the animations on how the moves will look and put them into a "Dixie's potential and why she is Unique" campaign video does anyone here have a large tumbler or twitter following that could possibly repost to spread the word? I have about 200 watchers on DA im not really active elsewhere.
The reason I bring this up is because this would be time sensitive. By the time we know what characters were selected for DLC (likely 2016), the last two slots for Project M will already have been decided. This may sound like surrendering, but its actually hedging our bets.
I have a hard time believing Isaac has star power... considering Golden Sun isn't even one of Nintendo's top franchises like Metroid, Donkey Kong, and especially Mario. The Golden Sun fanbase is very small but loud and dedicated, I will give them that.
Their fanbase is much larger and a lot more passionate.
So we lack numbers.
They're also a hell of a lot louder than us, we should probably work on that
Looking through a lot of K Rool threads and also people on 4chan are starting to call them out on this as well is them convincing everybody/neutering the idea that Dixie would be a Diddy clone or the move set would not be as original.
And yes by a LONG shot they are alot louder than us and are also not afraid to spam the hell out of everything. As stated here on this 4chan thread *hold on im looking for it now* -_-"
Maybe we should just start talking about how much we want to play as Dixie Kong in Smash with the Twitter hashtag #DixieKong. And we retweet each other... and retweet every pro-Dixie post we see.
Or we made a Dixie4Smash twitter account, a bunch of other characters have those, we could look for supporters in youtube comments and other sites like the wolf thread do. C'mon, we need to step up our game
Dixie is one of the few iconic Nintendo characters left to add in. There was still lots of people wanting Bowser Jr. in despite many thinking he was going to end up as a Bowser clone.So we lack numbers.
It's hard to sell Dixie when people just write her off as a Diddy-in-a-drag clone.
Just having 10 supporters being loud and active would be enough to sway her possible inclusion in Project M. Right now the "poll" for Project M is closed, but it will re-open once the first official newcomer for Project M is announced (if you have been following the leaks you will know who its most likely going to be), we should immediately camp ourselves there. Most fanbases are fixated on the ballot wars, but we can quickly assert ourselves to dominance in the microcosm that is Project M fanbases (where even nonsensical additions like Ninten can gain clout simply due to 2-3 loudmouths).
If you want to start the twitter I can start the facebook page and handle things on the Deviantart side! Also when I make the page on FB I'll add you as an admin and anyone else you think is super serious about this because I work alot of hours so I won't be able to keep up with the page all the time. Sounds like a plan? Any objections anyone?
You are kinda right... I remember when people used to say "Duck Hunt Dog wouldn't be an interesting addition"... and those people were the ones who usually supported Takamaru, Mach Rider, or Sheriff... and people didn't see Duck Hunt Dog as a serious competition even though he had more going for him.
Or in Duck Hunt Dog's case, just having one loud supporter like me spamming Sakurai's Twitter probably might have swayed Sakurai. But Sakurai justified his inclusion by saying that Duck Hunt sold millions 30 years ago and the NES Zapper shooting from the fourth wall was an unique concept he wanted to see in Smash (maybe I planted that idea in his mind?)
I'm working on the facebook stuff now! I'm super hype for what we are about to try! I mean even IF she doesn't win I can rest my head at night knowing we truly DID try! Also even if the other fan bases are bigger with the pages we are setting up it shows that there IS a fan base that at least cares.
Time to get on the dixie hype train!
None that I can think of at the moment.
Honestly, I would say it's just Dixie Kong and Toad. Maybe Ridley, but Metroid simply isn't nearly as big of a series as Donkey Kong and Ridley generally only appears for one fight per game, if that. Ridley, K. Rool, and Isaac pretty much just have their popularity going for them, but Dixie and Toad have wider appeal and better general recognition.
Lol i tried the same thing on another board but with no success. They are dead set on competition and treating this as if there can only be ONE DK rep added. Then came all the "clone comments" So they won't support. I feel that we are on our own in this one. I'm not trying to steer people AWAY from K rool if that's TRULLY who they want to pick but at the same time I hope to slow down the voting on him bandwagon just because half of the thread has brainwashed people into thinking that she would be a clone.
I mentioned it in the Krystal thread with no response, although a few people in there mentioned wanting Dixie
oops. accidentally quoted myself instead of editing >.>"
If Dixie actually made it into P:M, I would be ecstatic. I would actually prefer that outcome to having her in Smash 4, because I play P:M much more seriously than I play Smash 4. If that P:M poll opens up, I know that I will be one of the first to jump on the Dixie support train. Fortunately, she shouldn't have K. Rool as competition, since, let's face it; he's almost a lock for Smash 4 DLC with all of the support he's getting. Isaac's already going to be in P:M according to the leaks, and K. Rool is very likely for Smash 4. If we don't have K. Rool, Isaac, or 3rd parties to compete against on the P:M front, we should have a much easier time getting her in that game. Plus, I like the idea of splitting the DK newcomers up between Smash 4 and P:M.
So we'd be better off throwing away our only chance to show our sheer fan support for an official fighter status to Smash 4, for an unofficial mod that isn't even supported by Nintendo for sake of bolstering K.Rool even further? Are you kidding me?
That could be fun, just running across the stage trampling on people and spraying water on the ground to cause them to slip so you can trample them even more
I thought clone engine didn't necessarily mean a clone character. Mewtwo for example is a clone engine character, and he's unique.
I'm glad you like that idea. We won't give up on the Smash ballot, but I think that we can definitely secure a victory on the Project M side of things, which will only work wonders for us going into Smash 5. Also, I do agree that K. Rool fans might be okay with the idea of helping Dixie get into Project M. Like I said, Dixie fans shouldn't give up on the Smash ballot. We probably won't win there, but we should probably establish just how popular Dixie is, even if she isn't as highly requested as K. Rool.
Good news. You can play Project M without hacking your Wii. All you need is a 2GB SD card and you're set.
I have an interesting question for you, what if we get a Mario, a Zelda and a Donkey Kong Character, will you still eat your socks?
I'd get money to eat eat sock so in the universal scheme of things it'd be even.
Luigi level Semi-clones, I'm cool with. Just don't nee another Dark Pit. Or Dark Diddy as the case may be.
