I have finally placed my vote in the Smash Bros Ballot!

Who did I vote for?

Spoiler

 

[LousyTactician]

*Firebrand intensifies*

Spoiler

I freaking love Firebrand's design. He's possibly my favorite Capcom character from a design standpoint.

 

[Deleted member]

I actually liked his english voice. His "Objection!" on the other hand...

This.

I liked Edgeworth's voice actor, though I thought he would sound a bit more British. His OBJECTION! was terrible, however.

 

[Kotor]

I recommend everyone actually watch it here.

 

[SkarmNightmare (Brett)]

I'm really bad. :[

 

[TMNTSSB4]

M-Mr. Turtle! Can't you wait until recess...?

I wish I could, but my bladder control is worse than Pit's attention span

 

[Devil May Plop]

I had this same problem with Klavier. Thought his voice would sound more German (until it was confirmed he wasn't actually German) and his OBJECTION! sounds like a kid going through puberty trying to sound cool.

I wish I could, but my bladder control is worse than Pit's attention span

Oh! Well, we can't have that. We will have a 15 minute break. I expect the defense and the prosecution to have their cases sorted out once time is up!

[IAmMetaKnight]

So... who did everyone vote for so far? I'm asking somewhat out of pure curiosity, but the main reason is that I'd like to know the reasoning behind my fellow tacticians' votes, lest I decide against my current vote in favor of a more desirable character.

I voted for Magolor because he's the most reasonable character from the series I'm best acquainted with. I for one would look forward to the playstyle Sakurai could craft on such a character. That's 90% of the reason, the other being that he could give rep to various Kirby bosses that he's associated with, namely Marx or potentially even Dark Matter, and possibly a good few Copy Abilities, particularly Beam and Mirror Kirby, the latter of which is my all time favorite Copy Ability. He would be a trickster type character, having lot's of mind-gamey and confusing illusion and teleportation spells. It would be awesome as ****. Last and least of all, I want more magic-users. That's not really the kind of thing I look for when choosing which characters to root for, but it's a small aesthetic style I've wanted more of since the beginning. The fact that Robin was a magic-user was a small part of why I mained him. I can't promise I would main Magolor, but the chances are high if he were to get in the game.

Any better ideas for a character?

TFW Roy feels good and matches my playstyle.
TFW I don't like Roy at all.

What've you got against mah boi? I can understand why people would call him OP, but the fact that he runs over everyone with shear speed and power most of the time is just a result of his playstyle. It's who he is. And he does have flaws. People tend to forget his crap spacing and severe lack of defensive moves are a thing when they get KO'd by his dash attack. No one notices his **** recovery either until they play him and try to spike someone and end up killing themselves.

He's a good character. If you like to play as him, do it. Only the blind will judge you.

Um... I voted for a Resonance of Fate character, all three main RE protagonists, Dante, Phoenix Wright, Yuri Lowell, Ephraim... I think that's it...? They could all be unique, plus I just like 'em.

Hmm... so much for one vote per person. I hope Nintendo programed a work-around for instances like this. Otherwise, they're gonna have one hell of a time counting all the votes...

I'm gonna have to guess Sylux. I'm also interested in your motivation for voting for him.

This.

I don't get it.

Wait, only one vote per person was a thing?

This.

It's not even his stats I have a problem with. His story can be summed up as "The perfect kid doing perfect things." It was kinda annoying.

Just kidding, all good things, all good things.
We all have our opinions.

 

[Ffamran]

Liquid would make for a weird character. Can't use guns 'cause ratings and whatnot and while he has shown knife skills as Eli, I don't think he ever used a knife in MGS1. It was mostly hand-to-hand with firearm and vehicular combat. Now, considering he's a badass, he could end up like Shen Woo.

Seriously, take off his shirt and he'd be Liquid. Make it a trench coat and he'd be Liquid. Make him say, "Brrrrother", and he'd be Liquid.

His trials were greater than the norm; he couldn't afford to waste time moping over something like having to fight in World War I in place of his ill father. I found Roy to be one of the most relatable characters in the series. He's my favorite lord. I can understand why people wouldn't relate to such a character, but people tend to forget that such people do in fact exist. The reason I found him relatable was because I am that kind of person. (Sort of. I have my flaws. I'm sure Roy does, too. They're just not readily apparent.)

 

[LIQUID12A]

+Favorite Metroid character
+No other viable Metroid characters for DLC
+Confirmed to appear in a future installment
+Can bring variety to the table(same with any character really)
+Fairly popular darkhorse character in Metroid

Of course that doesn't scratch the surface of everything that makes Sylux my top vote.

 

[Tattles]

I've been thinking about how aerodynamic female Robin looks. So I came up with this.

He had flaws? Well, if you say that they're there, they probably are. But I looked really hard, so I'm just gonna assume that "not readily apparent" is an understatement.

If they didn't kill off Rundas for plot reasons, his *** could have made it in. Also, really? We have a semi-clone, Dr. Mario, a butchered Melee-style clone, Lucina, and a clone, Dark Pit, but not Dark Samus? Hell, they could have made it so Dark Samus had electric and darkness elements and call it a day. Gee, Dark Samus would be a bit like Melee Ganondorf, eh? Some people would have been happy that Dark Samus was playable. Or better yet! Give Dark Samus Samus's current kit and rework Samus to be a bit more aggressive with her throws and have different close combat options like in Other M. Other M's combat animations was one major reason I bought the game. Still haven't played it, but animation is an art, dammit. They could have the same Specials, but different normals and essentially be like Ryu and Gouken rather than Ryu and pre-SFV Ken.

Technically, Rundas still has a slim chance, dead doesn't mean you can't get in a fighting game. His popularity and thus viability doesn't match Sylux's, though.

Totes agree on Dark Samus though.

In terms of growth rates, Roy's are actually among the best in the game. The problem is that everyone not named Karel or Fae in FE6 has **** growths, and are highly likely to get RNG screwed in at least one or two stats. Of course, the opposite can also happen, like Shanna getting seven 10% defence growths in a row (too bad her res right now is ridiculously low for a pegasus knight). FE6 is just one of those games where characters can go either way, and there aren't any characters who will always turn out just as good every time you play. Roy's case isn't helped by him not promoting until four chapters before the end of the game, so he gets stuck at level 20 for half the game. He's good at the start (rapier) and end (Binding Blade) though.

In terms of character/plot, I like him/the game better in this new translation. He's still a bit too "perfect" though, in that everything he touches turns to gold and none of his decisions ever go wrong. If you wanted to pick out a flaw, I suppose you could say he's a bit too rash to act how he thinks is right (even though he's almost always right anyway), and doesn't listen to the advice of others (namely Merlinus) once he's set on his way. The plot feels a bit like a remix of the "best bits" of Marth's games (possibly done intentionally, since the heavily-different in plot Jugdral games didn't sell as well as FE3, and they probably wanted to make the numbers back up after Shouzou Kaga left).

I dunno, the game's one of the most popular FEs in Japan, so I always figured something about Roy or the plot was lost in translation somehow.

+Fairly popular darkhorse character in Metroid

Of course that doesn't scratch the surface of everything that makes Sylux my top vote.

I think Sylux is a likely character; we'll probably see it get in in the future, maybe even as DLC via the Ballot. These are all solid reasons for you to vote for that character. However, I'd like to give my take on each reason. Bare in mind these are just my opinions/interpretations of your reasoning. It's all good logic, it's just that I have different criteria for voting, different even than most people.

+Favorite Metroid character

+Fairly popular darkhorse character in Metroid

Popularity is the basis of the ballot. Even if everyone voted for the most ridiculously lackluster character because everyone loved said character, than we still would've done our jobs. I, however, root for the characters I think would introduce new playstyles. There's not much new things to add at this point, but there are still characters with potential for uniqueness. I also don't believe a characters plot arch-type isn't important, so long as the character is relevant to the franchise.

+Can bring variety to the table

This is immensely important to me. While I do agree that Sylux has plenty of potential, and will even go so far as to say that it has more than most, I don't like how people tend to smack this on every character. I admittedly think about the game balance more than most people, almost to an unhealthy degree, and I don't think every character has potential to be in the game. People forget that the criteria for actually getting on the roster are many and high. Even if a character can be unique, there are probably a dozen characters more eligible. This, unfortunately, is true with nearly every character in existence.

+Confirmed to appear in a future installment

Recurrence/relevance is an important reason to me as well. Magolor is one of a handfull of recurring characters who showed up only recently in the Kirby series. That's another reason I'd say he's relevant enough, but it's not why I voted for him.

+No other viable Metroid characters for DLC

I can understand why people want more representation for certain series, but I try to look past the franchise barriers. I could care less about where they're from, I just want unique characters. (Which is why I'm sure I'd be happy with Sylux despite the fact that Metroid isn't my favorite Nintendo franchise, nor is Sylux my favorite Metroid character.)

If there's any other reason I'd be happy to here you elaborate further. Give us a deep, emotional speech on why Sylux means so much to you.

I hope we can all be pleased with Sakurai's final decisions, even if none of our wanted characters get in.

Wait, only one vote per person was a thing?

(Forgot to answer this earlier) Yes. Go back to the voting page. You'll see "please limit your vote to one per person," or something like that, written near the top. I've heard some people say that your most recent vote counts as your "valid" vote. That's why I'm considering changing my vote if I find someone more to my liking than Mags. I'm only assuming such is the case, despite the lack of elaboration as to whether or not it's true.

He had flaws? Well, if you say that they're there, they probably are. But I looked really hard, so I'm just gonna assume that "not readily apparent" is an understatement.

You missed my point entirely. I meant that his flaws don't need to be existent for him to be a relatable character, at least to some people. (like me)
