Oh, that's Unova Pokémon League/N's Castle from Pokémon Black/White. It was revealed a couple weeks ago.

N's Castle, I think?

Oh, huh. Must have missed that update. Nice to see actual locations from the series get stages instead of Pokemon Stadium for the umpteenth time. (And I say that as someone that actually dislikes the Gen V Pokemon games)

 

[The Captain]

He's too big.

Also, he had more than one game?

Spoiler

That's the joke.

Yes, he did actually have a sequel. Japan-only.

 

[emb]

lol guys remember when we were so hopeful for a 3DS July release

October truly is the best month of summer

I remember thinking people were delusional.

Spoiler

But I guessed late September I think, so I'm a fool too. ;__;

 

[theprodigy]

My guess is that lucas/Ness are either tied with eachother or someone else.

There have been plenty of ties before, so I assume top 5 will be tie-heavy.

Also, I'm going to be really upset if I didn't vote for ice climbers. I totally meant to

why in the world would the number of ties increase as you move up, that's exactly where the separation truly begins

I'd highly doubt it. This Smash has the most merchandising of any Smash in the series before-hell, arguably more than most Nintendo games in general. We've got two versions, limited edition systems, a soundtrack, first party controllers, third party controllers, strategy guides, and, of course, Amiibos. So I feel like it's pretty damn likely they'll take that a step further with DLC.
I'm guessing for Amiibos, we'll see five batches:
Batch 1: Release (12)
Batch 2: February/March: 12 more fighters
Batch 3: May/June: 12 more fighters
Batch 4: August/September: 12 more fighters, most of which are secret characters
Batch 5: November/December 2015: The DLC fighters.

I'd also guess we'll see limited edition ones in between, specifically popular alt costumes (Hoodie Mac, Fire Mario) and Miis (like maybe a Reggie Mii or something-you know, something fans would want, but that kids wouldn't go out and buy).

My wallet just ran away from me.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Haha, oh man, you guys are going to be upset with me, but I'm making the graphs for the reveal of all the poll results and it turns out that that the character with no votes...totally got a vote after all! I totally forgot that one of the last three voters voted for them! Totally slipped my mind until I've had to actually break everything down for the graphics.

My bad, guys! They still came in last, though. At least this means that every character at least gets a little love.

Okay, who was the guy that you thought that he had no vote.

Interesting...

 

[J-Tier]

He's too big.

Also, he had more than one game?

Doshin, unlike Ridley, doesn't have a normal sized rep in Smash to compare to. He can get the Olimar treatment no problem. Having him be a head taller than the tallest character currently in the game would work out fine IMO.

Not that he ever had a chance.

 

[OricWindstar]

Okay, who was the guy that you thought that he had no vote.

Mmmmm...you guys want me to say? I don't mind revealing it, but they are still a surprising "last place" placement. I don't mind sharing, though.

You got us excited for nothing.

Now you have to tell us who that character is to make up for it. No buts.

 

[emb]

I hope that's a picture of you. I hope you're really crying, because you need to suffer for what you've done. > : (

Spoiler

Still jk

 

[Jawmuncher]

IIRC, the Telethia is just an odd difficulty spike in the game. It's generally easier going immediately after it.

FWIW, Ether-based attacks do better against it than Physical-based ones do, so there's that? Maybe get used to Melia, since she's by far your best Ether-based character right now.

Ok I'll try that. Totally forgot that I could use Melia now since she got a few new moves now. I need to start remembering that I can switch party members and even play as them.

I voted for the ape!

I also voted for Snake. We should be buds.

I agree. 3DS Friend Code and WiiU FR imminent.
Though not sure how legit that 3DS code is.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Pretty please

Haha, I'm down! Let me make a graphic though to make it an extra sad apology.

Haha, I wish I could cry like that.

Kirby got shafted for #1! I demand a recount!!!

Spoiler

Just kidding!

 

[Fandangox]

It's Meta Knight ins't it.

 

[Kyzon]

Cute sure. Not sure if smashing though :T

Hmmmmm. I can probably fix that.

 

[-Horizon-]

Haha, I wish I could cry like that.

OK now I'm curious to know this mystery.

 

[Masked Man]

That made a BIT more sense, since they were both the week before black friday.

Hyrule warriors should be coming out THIS week, next week at the latest, not the week before smash 3DS. :/

Ah, that's right! We don't have Black Friday over here, so I didn't even factor that into the timing of SM3DW and ALBW. Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't release Hyrule Warriors simultaneously in the US and Japan!

she'd be alright

Spoiler

as a trophy

I see...

Spoiler

Be warned--the Sheikah are coming for you.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WE NEED A LOVELESS SACRIFICE.

Spoiler

It was totally my vote for Lucario wasn't it.

Anyway, my completely-wrong Top 5 Predictions:

5. Wario
4. Ice Climbers
3. Sheik/Zelda
2. Triple Link Entente
1. Captain Falcon

Wow. That was remarkable difficult. My Reasons being: Ness and Lucas split the Mother crowd vote, we've deduced that somehow two of the least vote-getters were Meta Knight and Fox, Three different Links accumulate votes quickly, Falcon Punch.

Now comes the fun part of seeing just how wrong I am.

 

[Regulus Tera]

So true.

 

[IntelliHeath]

my prediction for last place: Ice Climbers

 

[Cody_D165]

It's ROB isn't it no one ever shows him the love he deserves

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Ice climbers are last arent they?

Edit: beaten

 

[munchie64]

I really hope Ice Climbers get in cause I don't think I voted for them :'(

 

[Spinosaurus]

It's Ice Climbers isn't it

It's ROB isn't it no one ever shows him the love he deserves

ROB is the best

 

[IntelliHeath]

It's ROB isn't it no one ever shows him the love he deserves

Someone said that he threw a vote for ROB.

 

[Kyzon]

Meta is last place in my heart

 

[TheRedSnifit]

What'd I miss? What's this poll for? I'm a confused snifit.

 

[Vuapol]

Mmmmm...you guys want me to say? I don't mind revealing it, but they are still a surprising "last place" placement. I don't mind sharing, though.

I don't mind having it revealed. ;^P

It'll help narrow down the Top 5 Mystery a tad as well. I say go for it.

 

[munchie64]

There is no way Ice Climbers got NO votes. They're top tier ffs

 

[Hatchtag]

It's ROB isn't it no one ever shows him the love he deserves

It ain't ROB, guarantee that.

 

[-Horizon-]

It's going to be my vote. Just watch.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I think I know who got placed at last place but I will keep my mouth shut for now.

 

[StreetsAhead]

They increased the difference in size between the large and small characters:

I'm so glad Dedede doesn't look quite so vacant in the newer one.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

Well...I can tell you six is wrong.

LOL oh

 

[ahoyhoy]

So true.

Schoolyard ensured that this was never the case for me. There was always THAT KID who unlocked everything before you and really hyped up all the characters you didn't have yet.

And I never had any issue with it. BRING ON THE SPOILERS.

 

[Fandangox]

I think I know who got placed at last place but I will keep my mouth shut for now.

spill the beans for bragging rights

 

[Cody_D165]

I hope ROB's new Final Smash turns him into the Ancient Minister from Brawl.

 

[Vuapol]

It's totally

Spoiler

Meta Knight.

Calling it now.

 

[-Horizon-]

Hmmmmm. I can probably fix that.

What do you have up your sleeve Kyzon?

 

[Vuapol]

I think I know who got placed at last place but I will keep my mouth shut for now.

You have to stake your claim now lest you be thought of as a liar later! Besides, who doesn't love bragging rights?

 

[IntelliHeath]

spill the beans for bragging rights

Well, I have couple of guys that could vouch for me if I'm right.

 

[Fandangox]

Well, I have couple of guys that could vouch for me if I'm right.

How do I know you didn't bribe them off? ;-0

 

[Kyzon]

What do you have up your sleeve Kyzon?

Oh, you'll see and probably lol

 

[Seven Force]

So true.

Man, I can't think of a series with a better "HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER" screen.

Melee's was the most godlike, though.

 

[Hatchtag]

My wallet just ran away from me.

I had games I was hyped for during the next 12 months. Their budget has gone to Smash now.

 

[SmithnCo]

Man, I can't think of a series with a better "HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER" screen.

NICE SWORD

 

[Cody_D165]

Here we go! We will find out so soon!
