Waluigi is ahead of Bowser Jr.? :)
MegaMan over Mewtwo, K.Rool and Ridley? :glare:
Different fanbase yo. At this point, 50% of the votes are from Reddit, 45% Smashboards, and 5% Nsider2, Tumblr and neogaf.

Why Reddit? Why did you had to do that?
Expanding my horizons, man. I want to see what the general SSB4 fanbase wants, not just what we want. Also, the users over there are more fun to talk.

Well was just joking around honestly. Still would like to see Impa make this list though.

I'm gonna make a new poll post SSB4 reveal, and I found a site where I can have a lot more character choices. She'll be there.

I find it really disconcerting just how many smurf/alt accounts have been made to boost certain character's votes. :|

It's probably a good idea to create a new poll after the E3 reveal. There are plenty of characters that can be included in a new poll that haven't been included yet.

I wouldn't object to Waluigi being in the game, but his oddly high popularity is something I can't understand.

I myself used to want Waluigi playable, but he's pretty much lost his edge recently. Plus he'd most likely have that Mario symbol rather than that Wario one since I don't think Waluigi has ever been in a Warioware game (was he?), which I consider the main reason why Wario had his own symbol in Brawl. Plus there was that mention that he wasn't in MK7 either. So honestly, I actually wonder if Waluigi will actually appear again, not as a character, but maybe as little as a cameo or something (like being one of the hundreds of collect-able trophies).

Waluigi's popularity = 4chan Reddit users voting on the poll. The internet loves ugly useless things.

Well I voted. Good to see that Megaman's in second place. So far anyway.

Is there anywhere on this site a list of just first party characters to choose from? (characters not already in SSB series)

Well this poll will give you a good idea, or you can search through the forums and find the support threads for each character brought up at one point or another. I think Mario and Sonic Guy made a thread containing shortcuts to each thread too.

Tempo from Harmo Knight would be a neat addition too. And pretty much the other "eShop Heroes" that debuted recently (Dillon, Mallo, etc.)

Those complaining about Roster Space, stop. Wii U and 3DS are capable of getting DLC characters or stages. So, space is near infinite (in a realistic way). To answer your question Admiral Pit, he'd probably have the "Mario series" symbol just like he did in Brawl as an Assist Trophy. Yes, Waluigi has been absent in the recent Mario Kart game, but he was in Mario Tennis Open and will be in the upcoming Mario Golf. Also, I think he's also in the new Mario Kart GP3 too. One thing to note though is that Waluigi seems to pretty much be a "Mario spin-off only" character. He hasn't appeared in a Wario Ware game. One game he did have a major role in was DDR Mario Mix- but I honestly think his role was half-assed and out of character. I don't understand why Waluigi would be interested in collecting musical notes or whatever in that game. It's a shame he doesn't have much of a background besides Wario's apparent brother or "best friend". And tbqh, I'd rather have Daisy in the next Smash Bros.

Before anyone says "lol but Peach has Daisy's "skin" as an alternate color", well, let's be real: Mario had Wario's color scheme since the first Smash Bros. and Wario has made it in. And Fox has Wolf's color scheme too. And vice versa- so let's not get into that since that's just irrelevant. I'd assume Daisy would have a more sporty, active look to compliment her tomboyish personality. Interesting to note that Daisy and Mario were the only ones to have "striker" trophies in Brawl. I think Striker Mario would have been a neat alternate costume. And hopefully, if Daisy makes it in, she'll be in something like that or her typical sporty gear so that way she won't have the same moveset as Peach. Always preferred Daisy over Peach anyhow. And I'd assume Tatanga would be in her Final Smash :3

Gotta say, I'm pretty surprised that Waluigi is doing so well. He's more popular than I thought. The names in bold are the characters I voted for.

Little Mac > K. Rool would be a general site consensus I would say. It's just happening, and I don't have a specific site to blame. (Been to so many man)

And Waluigi is solely because I went to 4chan, twice. He's gotten like, 20 votes in the last 100. Which is decent, but he's begining to stagnate. Like Takamaru, who only has gotten like 5 in the last 100.

Not likely enough.
It was because Micaiah didn't place into the Top 50 in Shortie's poll (not the one he's currently featuring. Nothing to do with likeliness, else, many of the third-parties wouldn't be on the poll and Mach Rider would.

Depends how many characters you want on the poll, like the polls you used to make with pretty much every possible choice or the newer ones (which I prefer) that only have the characters with fairly decent chances (or with major popularity). If you choose the latter, which I suggest, I'd pretty much keep the 25 you have on the current poll (minus the ones in the trailer) plus Starfy, Tingle, Paper Mario, Mii, (maybe Dillon and Mach Rider) and if you're just basing it off popularity and not realism, maybe an AC character. People will complain that their favourite character isn't on there, but as long as we have the characters most likely to be included, it won't be a problem.

I also forget if you're making two polls or just one bilingual one, but either way, the only Japanese resident I can think of on here is Venus (I could be forgetting someone), but he hasn't been on in a long time, though maybe sending him a message or something might be better than nothing.

As for the stage section, Star's poll is really extensive, and covers pretty much most of the plausible choices, but I'd consider trimming it down a bit, to maybe the most likely/popular choices.

And hell, if you're going to include stages, you could even include polls for characters people want to see as ATs, Pokeballs, Bosses, or music people want to see. That'd be a lot of work though, and it'd be totally up to you, but the results would probably be pretty interesting. If you do decide to include those categories, I could definitely help out.

This poll is going back to my roots. I've got well over a hundred character choices on this poll. So, if you have any personal choices, I'll be happy to add them on. Because gotta keep my SWF fam happy.

I also forget if you're making two polls or just one bilingual one, but either way, the only Japanese resident I can think of on here is Venus (I could be forgetting someone), but he hasn't been on in a long time, though maybe sending him a message or something might be better than nothing.
I've messaged him, but I'm not actually worried about GETTING TO THE JAPANESE SITES, as much as I am worried that my translations aren't correct. Also, I would need a small Japanese translated note saying what the poll if for, where I'm from, ect. Also, it's not bilingual, the poll japan gets will be about 50 character choices, and no stages.

As for the stage section, Star's poll is really extensive, and covers pretty much most of the plausible choices, but I'd consider trimming it down a bit, to maybe the most likely/popular choices.
Star actually teamed up with me for the stage part of the poll. We've actually added to the stage lists, and I wouldn't mind adding more stages either. If people would like to contribute. Fire Emblem, and Kid Icarus are the franchises that could really use some stage options. I have enough for them, just not many.

And hell, if you're going to include stages, you could even include polls for characters people want to see as ATs, Pokeballs, Bosses, or music people want to see. That'd be a lot of work though, and it'd be totally up to you, but the results would probably be pretty interesting. If you do decide to include those categories, I could definitely help out.
I was thinking of doing that. But to be honest, I would want to give the "other" option for that kind of stuff, but, I can't without paying for a membership. (This site is awesome, has everything I need on the free version....minus the write in choice) The music option though, I think I'm gonna definitely look into that. Star could help me out with that. I was gonna have another page where I ask age, sex, and location anyhow. (I'm really curious, actually) I'll look into the bosses, AT's and Pokeballs as well.

Fair enough. Most of the characters I would want to see on the poll were already on your newest one, so I'll be pleased with whoever. I'm not sure if you want to include them, they've caused some complaints in the past, but as this is popularity based, and not likelihood based, Banjo & Kazooie would be cool.

Ah, ok. Well, I guess Iblis would be the next best bet, who... also hasn't been around in a while... :laugh:

If I think of anything I'll let you know. Uprising and Awakening are my two most played 3DS games, so hopefully I'll be able to help. :grin:

I guess we solved this already. If you change your mind, I'm still willing to help. Up to you. ;)

Psh, of course I already have Banjo & Kazooie on the list. They have two level choices as well: Spiral Mountain, and Grunty Industries :D

KEEP THE THIRD PARTY CHOICES TO A MINIMUM PLEASE <3 Post your lists in a collapse here, or PM me if you would rather. I'll look through all the suggestions, and add as many as I see fit. Shank you ~
