Dillon isn't really comparable to Splatoon. The marketing and money behind Splatoon is way more than an eShop only series.
If the game is good and sells decently well, Inklings are a shoe in for Smash 5. They'd be the Olimar and Shulk of that game, a game that was released around the previous Smash's release that was well reviewed and sold modestly well.
Since the game will be good and will probably sell alright given its marketing, I definitely see Inklings in Smash 5. Not sure if I see them as DLC though, they're perfect as a big time character for Smash 5, a game that will need all the important characters it can get because the big time obvious characters have already been added.
Wolf >>>>>>> Falco. Wolf is the second proper rep that Star Fox deserves.

I guess that makes sense, although Simon was almost always the Castlevania character to appear in crossovers or as a guest. He's kind of the guy.
I imagine he'd have his Castlevania 1 look along with his Chronicles look.

i wouldn't be surprised if all cut characters are first, imo they would be the "easiest" to put in
Roy sweatn' , hes getting back in ;p

It's a reason for Nintendo to leave out fighters. That's why we're voting for his inclusion. Even if they don't add him as DLC, at least they'll know there's interest in the character by the people that actually did buy and love W101, so maybe they'll add him in the next smash game.
I'd agree with that, but even then I feel there are better characters for the slot.
Then again, I'm a Roy fan, so what do I know?

Honestly if you asked me before the whole DLC stuff who I would rate coming back, I'd have put Roy with Lucas on the popularity scale, with Mewtwo, Wolf and Snake above them. Like a solid medium on the popularity scale.
So seeing Lucas getting in makes me think Roy isn't impossible. Especially given the ease of adding him since his body is based on Marth (much like Lucas' body is based on Ness, even if they have different animations).
He seems to have gotten pretty far developed in Brawl, which means they may already have a Luigified moveset planned for him from that game. They could make him the Luigi to Marth's Doctor Mario... if that makes sense. Two characters derived from the same base, but one that is a true clone and another that only vaguely resembles the base character.
Nintendo's not gonna add Wonder Red on their own for this reason, hence why we're voting for him.

I know they'll probably make Wolf have a bad English accent in Smash just to be consistent with the other two, but his Brawl voice is just so great they really need to just overlook the minor inconsistency, save some money re-recording lines, and keep his Brawl voice.
It will be Isabelle and you know it.
They could mix her up a bit in so many ways as magic user. She could also use the deku staff like a hadouken move for example a deku scrub summoning and shooting peas. other move could be the mirrors kinda reflecting like palutena mirror or you could set them up and explode them like urien from street fighter 3rd strike or something as specials. Hitting witht the book or small energy sparks out of the book and the footdives as normal attacks. Final Smash the summoning gate spamming a large monster. She just has so many possibilities that fits smash move set that i hope more people will vote for her. Thanks for the support and keep believing

Sure, and it's why I'm voting for Inkling.
Gotta make super sure the game gets a playable fighter, ain't gonna leave that to probably mixed reviews based on the game's online functionalities. (also I can't wait another 7 years for new Smash, I want Inkling now!)

AC could have a ridiculous character called "Neighbor" that is just a bunch of random neighbor skins with a unique moveset shared between them.
So 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 pigs and 2 bears. They all have a similar body shape and head shape and you could use a bunch of really cool, popular and unique neighbors.
Nintendo's marketing Splatoon like crazy. I'm sure it'll at least be a modest success, at least enough for it to stay in memory until Smash 5.
I just want Solid Snake back. After the way Kojima is getting screwed over by Konami, I just want to see my old friend sneak back onto the scene and brawl with the roster one more time :'(
Come on people! We gotta vote for Snake! It is your mission comrades! La Li Lu Le Lo!
Also, he better be voiced by David Hayter or else its going to be weird lol

This is exactly why I'm concerned for Snake's chances. Kojima was the one who got Snake in the game, so I'm not sure if he will come back without Kojima.

I'm surprised that the Inkling isn't the next DLC for Smash. Yeah sure, people love the Lucas but it doesn't make much sense to add a 2nd DLC character right around the same time as Spaltoon is coming out. It just would've made sense.
Especially seeing as the Inkling design has been pretty well received since Spaltoon was revealed.
I can't think of any other characters I want in the game that aren't Wonder Red or Bayonetta.

While yes, veterans still have to be remade from scratch, they don't have to worry about making up a new moveset (as shown by Mewtwo retaining his Melee moveset). Plus, as stated earlier, Splatoon is an unproven new IP at the moment.

I doubt it means anything. It's kind of like people worried that there was Mewtwo trophy before Mewtwo was revealed. If Duck Hunt can be playable and a stage hazard/obstacle then Dixie can be what ever Sakurai wants.
This was probably the reason Snake didn't return. The whole Konami vs. Kojima scenario is really pissing me off so much! Next to Zelda, MGS is my favorite series of all time, and the bullshit happening with it right now is so heartbreaking. Really hope to mystically see Snake in the game though.
I would also kill to have Banjo in it! And it's so weird seeing Banjo having a slight advantage over Snake for getting in the game lol
I've quit buying amiibos after I bought Toad, but believe me, I would be there the second a store opens just to preorder a Banjo or Snake amiibo lol
I think he means the fact that Dixie, unlike Mewtwo or Lucas, has her trophy used as an item in Smash Tour.
The Konami-Kojima stuff occurred after Smash 4 came out, so something else caused Snake's removal.
As for Banjo, while I like Banjo as a character, he's a pipe dream at best. Sure, Microsoft is cool with it, but it'd require Nintendo to work with a direct competitor in the console race & provide advertising for a competitor's game. There's just too much going against Banjo from a financial & logical standpoint for it to happen, especially when you factor in Amiibos.
Tbf, I really doubt such small detail would prevent a character to be added
Im sure there could have been problems before Smash 4's release with Konami. We just found out about it recently. The problems could have been kept way more internal than what they turned in to.
As for Banjo, Smash Bros really promoted Snake for Sony when Brawl came out. Brawl came out before MGS4 and had many MGS4 elements involved with it. Plus Snake took on the look for MGS2, which never came to a Nintendo console, so I'm sure they would be ok with Banjo more or less
The difference is that Snake is a third party character who still can show up on Nintendo consoles. Banjo is a first party character for a rival company, which is a much more complicated scenario.

A lot of stages would become decent if we had a stage hazard toggle.
we will see if everyone's made up rules mean anything at the end, especially considering the idea of this poll goes against everyone's made up rules in the first place. And no one seems to understand that.

Another day, another vote for Toad!
He beats falco with ease.
Homie is a gruff wolf that fights with his claws.
he is automatically several percent cooler than a pheasant
I would trade mewtwo and lucas for the chance to play on Poke Floats again. Maybe a Poke Floats updated for the newest gens.
I don't think a lot of peeps care about what is or isn't tourney legal

Best stage with that concept would be Super Training from X/Y. It's pretty similar in appearance to Poke Floats, plus they'd already have most of the assets already made and ready to pump straight into the 3DS stage with a little bit of alteration. It would work well as a 3DS stage at least, with Wii U maybe getting some other stages from actual console releases (early Pokken based stage?).
Exactly, might as well please both sides. Casuals will enjoy new stages regardless (& the stages I listed are actually good stages), while the tournament scene will be hyped to have more stages that we can actually use at tournaments.
But you'll get Omega Poke Floats!

Smashboards is over there.
Once stage sharing comes out, can't tourney people remake all the flat w/ platforms stages that they'd like? Poke Floats can't be remade in stage builder.
Also not sure why it's banned anyway, since I don't recall any stage hazards that cause damage. Is it the Porygon?
All Omega stages are counter-picks, & are banned if FD is banned (& vice versa). What we want is more variety for the competitive scene, Omega Poké Floats will just be lumped up with the rest of the Omega stages.
Custom stages cause too much of a hassle when it comes to sharing, more so since we can't put them in one 3DS & mass distribute them across set-ups like we can for custom moves since the 3DS doesn't support custom stages. Plus legal stages like Dream Land 64 & Pokémon Stadium 1 cannot be done on custom stages.
As for the banning of Poké Floats, it's because the platforms show up everywhere with no constant platform, same reason why the Pilotwings stage is banned.
That continues to be defeated by Star fox team including Falco haha. I just think Falco is the coolest character who is better than Fox himself, but isn't a good enough leader. It's all good though, Falco is my dude since Melee days.

How many characters after Metwo and Lucas do people see being added realistically? I'm thinking around 4. I would predict Wolf, Inkling/Wonder Red, Impa and K. Rool.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Yeah this too, big time. I mean, fuck new characters full stop. If Mario Kart 8 can get a 200cc line of code, give me a goddamn stage hazard toggle in Smash 4.
This, Pokémon Stadium 2 & Wily's Castle would be legal and Pyrosphere would be a counter-pick if we had a stage hazard toggle.
