Do you what's know the other texture/voice swap that's already in the game yet is not counted as a different character?
Fix this shit Sakurai.

If only. He wouldn't even really need a new voiceset, seeing as the Falcons are always voiced by the same actor (except in the anime, where he's Liquid Snake). And while changes to the model (which would only really be the collar, helmet, pauldron and maybe boxer shorts) would be nice, they're not even that necessary - due to Smash Falcon wearing his scarf out, he's almost closer in silhouette to the in-series Blood Falcon than regular Captain Falcon.
That makes sense - though looking at how similar Lucina and Dark Pit are, I don't think anyone would have minded more if Alph were identical.
But if Alph remaining an alt gives us the possibility of having Brittany join him as an Olimar alt in 5, it'll be worth it.

Looks like Water Katanas are canon now on Greninja, so chalk it up as another thing from Smash that works its way back into the main game. Or at least the anime.

Patch Mega Greninja into Smash Sakurai
EDIT: OH WAIT IT'S A FUSION?
LOLOLOLOL
EDIT2: Actually don't Sakurai. GameFreak ruined another good design.

I'd actually love to have Dark Pit back, but Luigified to hell and back. I'm fascinated by the notion of a character that is identical to another in looks and even weight, but has a notoriously different moveset to make up for it.
(Dark Samus would be a thousand times better).

No it's not a Fusion, apparently just Ash's Greninja wanting to look like Ash.
So yeah I want that, Ash's Frogadier is a total bro. He should bring his Mexican friend though.

Pretty much what Game Freak does best these days. Introduce something cool then ruin it eventually.

Many animations in Awakening were shared between various classes though.
I wasn't talking about Einherjar Marth, Lucina's own original Awakening battle animations were mostly homages to Marth's in previous games. That stance pictured above, the way she holds her sword in front of her face in some animations too (something that's mostly missing from both Marth and Lucina in Smash), her backflip, both her piercing and slash animations for skill activation...
Marth has some new animations in Fates, like his "waiting" stance, before getting in an actual battle stance, which is different now, but they're still rather similar. Lucina and Marth still share that same "counter" stance for example, and both still hold the sword in front of their head as part of their attack animations (although the animation itself is different now, since it flows from their pre-battle stance animation, which is different now).
Marth now has a multi-hit looking attack based on his old Rapier animations... but Lucina also got a similar looking attack, with the main difference being that Marth's attack seems to be faster and purposefully old school, with what looks like skipped frames (kind of like Wario in Brawl) while Lucina's has a fluid animation.

Considering it's almost tomorrow in Japan, doesn't look like an anniversary patch is happening.
Well, at least until they fix the homebrew exploit.

Welp, looks like we're gonna have to wait until October. I'm actually kind of worried that the Smash hype will die by then.

Nintendo hasn't been doing Directs or much lately, so I'm still holding out on characters just popping up on the store randomly.

Smash hype shouldn't die that easily since there are a huge break between November (Mewtwo) to April.
When we get the announcement of reveal trailer(s) then that's when Smash Hype would revive in full force!

Could you post them here, I really don't want to have to dig up my ancient Smashboards profile to look at them.
Yeah, it's the most up to date tally of votes so far.
Sure thing.

Oh I see.
I love the result but unfortunately it probably wouldn't resonated with real result of ballot because of several reasons.
1. the ballot would have way more votes, including casual players' votes which is more likely to not accurately match with those hardcore choices.
2. we are allowed to vote for almost every characters if we wanted to, instead of only one vote.
3. Vocal group is very loud but they are group of small numbers.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the average shows not necessarily who is most popular but who is most liked overall
You could have a real polarizing character with more 5s but many 1s and a character with an even distributions of #s and the last character would do better

I love how Mii used to be one of the most controversial and hated inclusions first, and now is actually fairly popular.

I imagine opinions would still be fairly divided had they gone with a moveset inspired by the Wii Sports games.
Someone mentioned a new Mii class (Spellcaster) and I was all over the idea from the get-go.
You're correct but I should mention that this is for that multi-page long poll SG is doing, not the "one name only" poll running alongside it. Either way, it's just something cool to consider, not a "bible" to work with.

Here's the new attack that Lucina has which is similar to that one.

Smash newcomers are too major can't be casually tweeted by NoA as an announcement. It may be a while but I think they are a shoo in for the next Nintendo Direct

It took awhile for people to come around to them even being characters. Wikipedia still refuses to even list them as on the roster count. They were outright banned entirely from tournaments until just recently, and Mii Mains still struggle not knowing what aspects of their character will be allowed in particular tournaments. There's huge regional differences too, like Japan is fairly lenient on size and movesets, while US is super strict on one specific system amiibo with only 1111. So it's still not all good for Miis, and there's still lots of resentment that they're even on the roster. Pro-custom players also hold Miis hostage for custom moves occasionally, and there's been a lot of bitter arguments over how Miis should be handled, and the issue still isn't settled in the US scene.

I'd have nothing against Isaac being DLC and obviously being a K. Rool supporter am not remotely in a position to bring up relevancy, but I'm still surprised just how high up he is in that poll.
IntelliHeath

Haha, that was hilarious. I'm all for Mii Mage!
You should read first thread when Mii got leaked, and you should see the reactions.
I presume that King Kool is lower than Isaac mainly it's because there are some haters that would rate him down on purpose to hurt his percent. Honestly, who cares about fake polls results. What does matter is the ballot's results. It will be a long waiting until we finally hear something from Nintendo and Sakurai.
Oh I wasn't being facetious! I was trying to imply that you totally dismantled my post and used a gif to represent that, haha.

More proof all a character has to do to become beloved is have Sakurai put them in Smash
I think Rooligan the user did a poll on this where he said which characters do you not want in Smash, and Dark Pit and Mii tied for the win.
No really you could have like Candy Kong or that creepy baby from Twilight Princess get in and they would become adored

This is actually very true. Smash turns things into defacto faces of Nintendo. An invite to the stage is essentially a fast track to perma-relevancy.
This is exactly why I want Wonder Red. It's the only way he & the entire W101 franchise can be salvaged.

Smash is the ultimate-foot-in-the-door for dead/dying franchises.
Exactly. Though in Wonder Red's case, Smash 4 DLC is his only chance.

Fun fact--if the 3DS wasn't throttling the Wii U version of this game we'd be able to play as the Ice Climbers in Super Mario Maker.
But we can't.

And probably Alph as well, since the technical issues with Olimar wouldn't have wasted so much time that could have been spent making Alph a clone.

I like the 3DS version just fine but seriously fuck it
Fuck it for being the reason they cut Ice Climbers and castrated Olimar and made a costume of Alph
It's so frustrating having something holding Smash back.

The 3DS version is on track to becoming the best selling Smash game ever. Ice Climbers were worth the sacrifice.

Last numbers I saw were over 6 million for 3DS and over 3 million for Wii U, back in January. Brawl did over 12 million since 2008.
