For me, there are several big deals about Sora making it in. Sure, Disney partnership, huge legacy character, more from 'stingy' Squeenix... but also, it puts to rest that Nintendo clearly stated Bayonetta won the ballot. When she 'won,' the statement had three qualifiers- she won (top 5) of (one region, Europe) as far as realizable (vague as hell) options. In other words, she was never the winner... I'm not even sure if there was a chance it could have been anyone else. Perhaps she was fasttracked, and we could have gotten Inkling instead... or... no, I think if it could have been anyone else, it likely would have. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this aspect.
But I digress. The ballot, six years ago, specifically stated that the data would be used for future games, as well. At the time, it was easy to think this would mean other series', but even since we have officially known it was for the next Smash game (now a complete game), the ballot keeps showing up.
Do you think Sora could have gotten in if he weren't the top character? Do you debate that he may have been the highest voted character? Was he perhaps going to be the final character of the first fighters pass, or were two passes always going to happen, and he was always going to come out 12th (which I personally believe, since we have all the KH games coming out alongside him).
I guess I want to know, what are the implications, for you, that Sora was the poll winner? How did this aspect of the direct make you feel?
And, less related, given the clear knowledge that Smash Ultimate was in the works when it was, and that DLC for Smash 4 (perhaps the base game as well) had to have been negotiated with Smash Ultimate in mind... could this be possible for a deluxe version as well- that all the third parties negotiated were negotiated not just for Ultimate, but for a premium version of it, putting the work of Sakurai and the Tekken lead into practice, for a more complete version for a Switch Pro, with rollback netcode?
