Alright, buckled down and submitted my vote.
Come on guys. KOS-MOS is literally a fighting machine. SHE WOULD KICK BUTT!
Come on guys. KOS-MOS is literally a fighting machine. SHE WOULD KICK BUTT!
Some of my entries:
- Inklings (Splatoon) New franchise for Nintendo and a lot of potential with the multiple weapons and squid transformation stuff.
- Wonder-Red (Wonderful 101) I dunno, shrink the other Wonderful 100 members if you have to.
- Chibi-Robo (Chibi Robo) The various household items he wields can probably make for an interesting enough character
- Takamaru (Mysterious Murasame Castle) Sakurai just recently said he was cut and his character is technically in the game already so why not?
- Dr. Crygor (WarioWare) My left-field choice. I feel like he's a good rep for WarioWare and is indicative of the series' brand of humor.
- Hades (Kid Icarus Uprising) Gotta have a Falcon clone somewhere.
I voted for my man SIMON BELMONT!
Here was my justification:
Would be awesome to see him in game! Or any of the other Castlevania characters for that matter.
Anyone else show some Castlevania love??
Here was my justification:
Along with Mario, Megaman, Link, and Samus, Simon Belmont was one of the iconic video games characters I grew up with. The series has been traditionally on Nintendo systems, and having this character in Smash Bros would be an amazing way to honor the contributions of the Castlevania series. Like the megaman series, this might be a great final way to honor a series which seems to be fading into time (i.e. no new games in series planned).
Also, I feel like Simon's move-sets are unique and fun. Imagine using his whip attacks with "B" directional attacks as special weapons!
Thanks for having this poll!!

Wait you voted multiple times? Are we sure they're not disqualifying votes from same sources?

The site says to limit it to one vote but there's a chance that they're tracking IPs to get rid of duplicate votes.

Well, it's verified, so no.
Speaking of Shovel Knight, if he somehow made it in, how would you like him to be styled? He's a weird case, because he's obviously designed as retro, but he's actually current. So seeing him "reimagined" with a new model might be a little weird because he's intentionally designed that way, unlike someone like Pit or Duck Hunt.
So would you rather him have a new full 3D model? Or would you rather him stick to his retro design, ala someone like Game & Watch?

The terms of the poll do say one vote per person. It's either a bluff or they are logging IPs. If it's the latter, then either your first or last vote is the only one being counted. We don't know if the system disregards all repeat votes or overwrites your most recent vote as your only vote.

These are my top character requests as well, with King K. Rool as an alternate choice to Dixie Kong (either of them is fine by me), plus a solo Ice Climber!Im bored, so here are my top four requests (barring Ice Climbers, for technical reasons)
First Appearance: Rhythm Heaven (2008) | Latest Appearance: Rhythm Tengoku: The Best + (2015)
I did the honest thing by taking the survey just once, with my vote being cast for the Chorus Kids. Rhythm Heaven is the most significant Nintendo franchise without a playable character in Smash Bros., and Ive really grown to like the Chorus Kids. Theyre goofy and charming, and I could easily envision their move set bringing out the best of Rhythm Heaven.
First Appearance: Star Fox 64 (1997) | Latest Appearance: Star Fox U (2015) [assumed]
Wolf is the last remaining plausible veteran, and he was one of my most used characters in Brawl. With Star Fox U on the horizon, Id be shocked if we didnt get Wolf at some point.
First Appearance: Donkey Kong Country 2 (1995) | Latest Appearance: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (2014)
Dixie Kong is one of Nintendos earliest female protagonists, and she recently appeared as a playable character in Tropical Freeze. Donkey Kong could use another representative, and Id much rather have Dixie than K. Rool. And no, shes not a Diddy clone.
First Appearance: Splatoon (2015)
Splatoon is a new EAD game with a significant internal push (amiibo!), and it looks incredibly fun to boot. The Inklings are tailor-made for Smash Bros. with their colorful personalities and variety of ink-based weaponry.

I think I should give up on Hadés, he got like 0,61% lol.
I'm hesitating between Wonder Red or Isaac but Isaac seems already well supported. Go Wonder Red
Nice!!

I remember being very pro-Simon Belmont back in Brawl pre-release, but I kind of lost interest in the following years. You reminded me how much of a good idea it would really be, for many reasons. While we've had characters that used a whip before, none of them (maybe Ivysaur, I suppose?) fought with it as their main weapon. Simon's play would be very unique. They better go with this design though:

So WayForward straight forward asking their fans to vote for Shantae is leaving a bad taste in my mouth for some reason. Sort of interesting, Twitter stuff from Konami, Ubisoft and Microsoft did not.
Just thought I'd mention it.

Do we have anyone who can tells up what the Japanese are voting? Anyone with some language skills able to browse a forum or two and give us some ideas?

I am torn.
A mix of nostalgia and just plain awesome. I have many suggestions, but I also don't see many of them panning out.
Mike from Star Tropics 1/2. Captain N the Game Master. (Simon/Trevor) Belmont- any Castlevania guy really (Alucard?). Bomberman. Battletoads. Solid Snake.
Star Tropics is a Classic. Making that character would pave the way for people to rediscover the older games and give people like me (us) that grew up with him a nice trip to yesteryear. Same with Captain N.
Bomberman would fit the roster- darn near Amiibo sized anyways.
Castlevania characters would be fun to play.
Solid Snake- I miss him. Would make sense with the new Metal Gear coming out to help promote both games.
Battletoads- any of them- would be a great pick too. For a game series that has been dormant for so long it still has some internet buzz attached to it. I've done a few no continue runs on twitch- they still get viewers and more audience interaction. They are in the Shovel Knight Win 10 release. Presumably they have a new game coming out. I feel like all of these would help sell that DLC and advertise the new appearances for the characters. Win/win for Nintendo and Microsoft/Rare.
I would personally donate $2500 for Captain N and Battletoads lol.

Captain N isn't a video game character, and StarTropics was never released in Japan so I doubt Sakurai and his team feel strongly about including Mike Jones. (I'll never understand why StarTropics didn't make it to Japan, considering it was developed there.)

Finally nailed down my choice as Shantae, she's practically Nintendo exclusive 3rd party at this point (HGH excluded) and would have a ridiculous amount of options available for attacks with transformations, dancing and hair whipping. It'd also add a bit more well needed female representation to the roster. Not like she has a chance anyway, but it was either that or vote Captain Rainbow and he sure as hell won't make it.

I voted twice. Once for Brock Lesnar. And another for a sadly dormant franchise...
I miss you, Advance Wars...

WF is a smaller, more outgoing company than either of those giants. Also, I don't really see why it wouldn't hurt to ask fans to vote. She'd fit into the game pretty well as another 3rd party with a legacy on Nintendo systems. Not to mention it's not like they were bribing people to vote.

Bravo.
Shantae means Dance Through the Danger in Smash, they can keep promoting her.

WayForward has shown Nintendo a lot of support, the Shantae franchise started on a Nintendo platform and they always supported Nintendo. I don't see an issue with them wanting to get Shantae in Smash. Those other developers don't really have a reason to ask for votes from fans. If they really wanted to, they could approach Nintendo themselves.
The Phil Spencer tweet about Banjo is interesting. Microsoft has indeed supported Nintendo before with allowing Rare to release games on GBA and DS, however I feel developers have too much pride to approach Nintendo first. In the case of WayForward they are way too small to even think of asking Nintendo, therefore this is an opportunity for them and I don't blame them trying to grab it.

Little to none, IMO. You could think of it as making noise for them to enter the next game, though.

I will admit I know next to nothing about Shantae. When I first seen a screenshot of her on a Smash character request sheet, I thought she was a Zelda character (I got thrown off by the pointed ears). Then I learned she had her own game series and is mostly relevant with Nintendo. I wouldn't mind her making it in at all.

HAHAHA This is beyond awesome. Hilarious.
Old school Simon Belmont BTW!

I would support that. He could damage other opponents by being clumsy, and he should have projectile where he accidentally threw wii remote if he didn't banded it properly.
There doesn't seem to be a restriction on voting for more than one character. But I assume they'll ignore any duplicate submissions of same character though.

My vote was for K Rool, but sister's vote was for Shantae.
We'll see how it goes!

Had to vote Shantae if only for the tiny chance of a Shantae amiibo.
New King of Joke Characters.
If it wasn't for Wii Fit Trainer kind of fitting this bill already, I'd be all over this.
Actually, fuck it I'm still all over this. Final Smash : "IF ONLY I HAD A WRIST STRAP!" - Takes out a Wii Remote with no wrist strap and swings it like a bat but loses his grip, sending it to ping pong off of all opponents doing damage before crashing into the screen and breaking it (kind of like a star K.O.) and sending everyone flying.
