Though honestly, I expect a lot of non-fans to drop him because so far he's a really obtuse and high execution character to play.
Unless of course someone finds crazy OP tech with him that lets him break the game like Peach and outrange Lucina.
See, for me, it's never been about playstyle. If I wanna main a character, I'll make it ****in' work, no matter what.

but of course you were talking about non-fans which i realized while writing this post whoops

Er, that's not really debatable. He's been the most popular male character on nearly every poll ever conducted for Fire Emblem.

You DO realize Brawl came out a considerable time after both his games too, right?
You mean all the polls through Famitsu which only polls a few thousand (all Japanese fans by the way) or the CYL where multi voting was allowed (not to mention who knows how much voter fraud all across the board)? Oh, yes, very reliable.

Ah, well, that explains it since Smash probably accounts for no less than 80% of his popularity. Excuse me, but I think the man's overhyped.

Played Joker for an hour.

He's everything I could have ever wanted. He has Samus' Up Air, and that's my favorite UAir in the game. Having trouble figuring out the gun, though; anyone know what all the inputs for it are?
I honestly find Samus Up air to be my favorites as well.

Debatable. Still need good data on that, but since IS apparently doesn't know (or doesn't care) how to run a proper poll, that probably ain't happening. Plus, all the Smash popularity in the world didn't sell his games.
No.

It's literally not even close.

We have a poll, the first FEH CYL poll, one where the results weren't manipulated with foreknowledge of guaranteed alts. Ike won the male side by a landslide, and was only beaten by Lyn...
technically.

See, Ike's votes were actually split between his PoR version and his RD version, meaning that if the poll were to use today's ranking of counting alternate versions of characters together, then Ike would win by even more of a landslide.

Do you know how popular you have to be to WIN a popularity contest AND have an alternate version of yourself be in the top 5?
QUITE POPULAR.

Bruh. CYL 1 is all you need. Heroes didn't influence it, the poll ran before Heroes' launch so I'd definitely say Ike is one of if not the most popular FE character.

I did a ton of things.
I got all of the Persona spirits, I got the Mii Costumes with my gold coins, and more.
Joker is so fun to play.

Meanwhile I put my system in sleep mode because the ***** was taking forever to redownload the game cause Nekoo Nekoo gave me trust issues.

I'm scared to see how far into the download it is.

One of, sure, but I don't think you can definitively say who comes out on top. There are too many variables. How many repeat votes did he get comparied to others? How much more likely are fans of older games to concentrate their votes (as seen by the greater dispersion of Awakening and Fates votes even with Lucina absorbing so many of them)? People also love to lump both Ike's votes, but then you run into the problem of how many people voted for both to hedge their bets? Probably a good number. No, CYL is an analyst's worst nightmare. It's too many numbers, not enough metrics.

Someone’s gonna spam Joker side taunt so they can annoy/disrespect their opponents with Morganas “Neheere” voice line in a competitive match. I know that will happen.

Okay, so you don't like him. That's fine, but you can't just go full conspiracy theorist and say that he's not the most popular Male FE character when all signs point to the him being just that.

It says a lot that he tops those polls all damn time when BOTH Marth and Roy have been in Smash longer. You don't have to like him, that's ok, but evidence is evidence my friend.

Considering Roy and Hector are in the male top five as well, there's no reason to believe fans of older games funneled all their votes onto Ike...

QUITE POPULAR.
Takumi is in there so that invalidates it entirely

Also An FE list without 90% waifu saturation is probably fake

petition for Nekoo Nekoo to publish an official apology when tbh

No one has ever felt so attacked by a friend since that time Taylor Swift was tricked and recorded then put on blast by Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

Clearly this means I'm going to have write a bitter pop song about Nekoo Nekoo .

*Bayonetta is nerfed*

It's a minor thing but I'm seriously considering making this a meme.

Everybody got the same amount of votes, seems pretty fair to me. It's not a mystery who's on top, you can quantitatively prove that Ike only with his PoR votes is FE's 2nd most popular character, and with his RD votes FE's most popular character by thousands of votes.

So, what's the general consensus on Joker? Good? Bad?
I have no clue, but he is super fun to play.
Also, his recovery goes farther than I expected.
Only thing is I struggle to hurt enemies with it.

Joker has potential.
