Reaction: Nintendo announces a new Fighter Ballot.

But instead of voting online, you can go to your local game store where the employees will give you an envelope with the Smash seal on it and cast your vote on a character.

You can still vote online but physical vote in stores will be more effective and vocal.

Would you do it?

This is a terrible ****ing idea because not only is it a big "**** you" to fans who don't live near any Nintendo-official game stores(or don't live in a country with one), it's also asking for rigging to be done.

Fun Fact
DID YOU KNOW that Decidueye was ALMOST chosen as a new Pokemon rep but was replaced with Incineroar confirmed by Sakurai?

There was a problem fetching the tweet

You know what, he was considered at the very least, even though I think he would’ve be cool I’m honestly not mad about Sakurai’s decision and I’m happy with how Incineroar turned out.

Well when you put it that way...

 

[Dee Dude]

Oof, those poor Decidueye fans, my condolences to them.

I wonder if this means Rex and Spring-Man will locks for next Smash.

So...is that a no?

Heck yes. Need to get that support out.

Honestly, I think they could easily get a controllable online vote if they wanted to do a round two. Just use the same idea as the PP - you have to have registered your copy of Smash to submit a vote. That way you won't get millions of bot votes. Maybe allow us to vote three characters in that case.

Don't be so salty, you're anti-Incineroar is showing.

Hey, if you want to read quality fanfiction, look up Taranea on Fanfiction.net. Her stories are hilarious.

Gamestop has just been robbed, not for money, but for envelopes!

I don't know who this hurts more, the Decidueye fans who now know we almost got in, or the Lycanroc fans who, for some reason are still optimistic, now knowing they never stood a chance

I would go on a long-winded rant right about now, but I know there's no point, it won't change anything. It would just annoy the Incineroar fans. I should just be happy they got a character they wanted.

 

[Wademan94]

Poor Terra...

As someone who loves FFVI, I wish she had a shot.

No, 'cause then I'd actually have to go to GameStop

 

[Noipoi]

Rip Decidueye.

I’m not even trying to be smug, I think he would’ve been kinda cool and knowing he was considered must sting for some of his fans.

 

[Masked Marshmallow]

If they did make this store based voting thing, I'd be that guy going to every possible store and voting for the same character. Then I'd disguise myself and do the same thing again. Then I'd pay someone to do the same thing again. And so it goes...

 

[Teeb147]

Don't be so salty, you're anti-Incineroar is showing.

I actually play incineroar once in a while. It's not a terrible character, and it's the only heavy I like. I would much rather have Decidueye instead though.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Y'know I'd really like this game to be 2D animated but that would take ages.

I think the worst scenario of having a physical Ballot in stores is that we might have another Rick & Morty sauce incident lol.

A bunch of nerds flooding the stores and causing street fights for votes.

 

[NineS]

I almost set the kitchen on fire making a hamburger. Just another normal day I'm my life.

I almost set the house on fire opening the oven. And my face while I was at it.

Unbeknownst to me on that very unlucky day, there was a bit of a gas leak. I turned on the oven to cook myself something, but something smelled off. I opened to check if there was anything inside burning, but right as I do that, the oven suddenly becomes a flamethrower and uses Ridley's F-smash on me. If I leaned in any closer that day, I would've had severe burns on my face.

I also almost burned down the kitchen making the sandwich.

 

[Wademan94]

Ya know, now that I think about it...considering Sakurai said wanted to create a wrestling character, I’m surprised he didn’t consider the guy that’s literally called the “Wrestling Pokémon”

That’s exactly why it should happen.

As a fellow FFVI/Terra fan, she did have a shot since she was almost chosen, that's more then Warrior of Light, Cecil, Squall, Tidus, or Noctis can say.

How do we know he didn't? As the recent news just proved, he's considered multiple Pokemon.

If we got that pokemon, we wouldn't have had someone enough of a heel to out-heel the grinch.

Interesting and a good confirm, but I think he made the right decision.

 

[Will]

the only issue i see with the envelope idea is that random strangers being offered will just do it even if they have no idea what its for

like some middle-aged soccer mom is gonna sit there being told she can vote for whoever and she just says

uuuuuhhhhhh i'll vote in oprah

Damn, Decidueye was one of the only Gen 7 Pokemon I liked and I was hyped for him earlier in the year.

Leif was almost picked
Bartz/Terra was almost picked

Eh, Leif almost being picked was a rumor. Still, he would've been a much better pick imo.

Ha ha ha, I am totally not feeling like I was cheated of something. This wasn’t the 20th anniversary gift I expected.
(I still think Incineroar was a better choice for a smash newcomer but damn it decidueye is my favourite pokemon).

No ma’am, it has to be a video game character.

Oh, uh.....Mario!

 

[PeridotGX]

It still would've been ironic. I was sticking up for Lycanroc and Mimikyu, because they had something actually backing them up (a lead role in the anime and a ridiculous marketing push). Knowing that the alternative choice also didn't have much backing him up makes that whole argument stupider.

 

[Wademan94]

How do we know he didn't? As the recent news just proved, he's considered multiple Pokemon.

Maybe in some reality we could’ve gotten both Hawlucha and Decidueye, a Gen 5 AND Gen 7 rep, have his cake and eat it too, add two birds with one um...I got nothing.

Catching 2 birds with 1 Pokeball.

 

[Roberk]

Piranha Plant was decided because it's a character that isn't a hero. Sakurai and the team felt if all the characters were heros it'd be a bit boring. Also, the Piranha Plant is well known. pic.twitter.com/F968ZUHv5y

Characters added for the sake of being villains confirmed. /s

 

[Knight Dude]

Here's a better idea. In order to get the character you want, you have to fly out to an island and compete in a Martial Arts tournament. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place get who they want. 4th - 8th get their choices as Mii Costumes.
