Post yfw, tell me your predictions
I really don't think Wolf will come back. He's not a fan favorite and was honestly a boring inclusion in Brawl.
I'm hoping for Snake and one of the popular choices, maybe Banjonever ever
More likely prediction is Wonder Redalso never ever
>>319743394

He scored pretty high on the ballot

>>319743487
where the fuck did you guys get that source? They've never released any data on it.
I want Banjo and Kazooie so bad
No joke, I would pay 100$ just for them
>>319743054
If he plays just like the Hornet, I would actually love this.
>>319743394
Just because you don't like him doesn't mean he isn't a fan favorite. Every veteran (except maybe Pichu) is a fan favorite. Mewtwo, Lucas, and Roy all got in, Wolf is the only major veteran left (Young Link got replaced by Toon Link, Ice Climbers got fucked over by the 3DS, Snake got fucked over by Konami, and Pichu is just shit).
>>319743690
>Wolf is the only major veteran left
Who said all veterans need to return? You already listed two who aren't. Besides, Wolf is a shit character and a semi-clone of a clone. Why would you ever want that instead of someone with a different moveset? Isn't that the whole reason people got pissed about Dark Pit?
>>319743054
>Realistic predictions
Wolf
Inkling
K.Rool
MAYBE Banjo and Kazooie
MAYBE Shovel Knight
>>319743054
If I had known about this character sooner I would've voted for it.
>>319743690
People would rather see NEW characters rather than veterans, honestly. So far we've had 2 newcomers and 3 veterans.
>>319743825
Shovel Knight has 0 chance of getting in, even less than fucking Master Chief. Anyone who honestly thinks its a good pick is horrendously retarded.
I really want an option to disable stage hazards, and some neutral non-omega stages in For Glory. Also buff Mewtwo. Those are really the only problems left with the game.
I voted for Bayonetta but I wouldn't mind K. Rool either. Still, I can't keep my hopes up because Sakurai is a fucking madman, he's probably gonna pull out something crazy.
>>319743825
you dont honestly believe banjo and kazooie would ever get in smash bros do you?
>>319743883
Japan loves their veterans though.
>>319743940
It's unlikely, but it'd be a pretty good pick.
>>319744000
Fuck glorious nippon, nice trips btw
>>319743940
>you dont honestly believe Cloud would ever get in smash bros do you?
Oh, wait.
>>319744082
I get where he's coming from though, as far as popularity goes Banjo's probably pretty far down the list, especially considering he's a literally who in Japan.
>>319744082
not even remotely comparable. banjo/kazooie is owned by microsoft and will NEVER be in smash,
>>319743795
>Who said all veterans need to return?
The fans themselves? I'm just refuting your statement that he isn't a fan favorite when he clearly is. People like the idea of having a "complete set" of characters, and of the remaining veterans Wolf stands the best chance.
>Dark Pit
I bet you anything there'll be people who want him back for Smash 5. People liked Melee Roy even though he was a literally who and pretty much a straight downgrade from Marth.
>>319743883
Not true actually. People want all the characters together in one game.
Sakurai plays into this shit with the character trailers, especially Roy's.
>Don't forget me!
As if Roy was some hole in the roster that needed to be filled. Don't forget about all these cut characters, they're so sad and lost! There's plenty of fanart/comics that also pull this shit.
Veterans are easy to make and an easy way to pander to fans. Personally I also want NEW characters, but I don't let my wishes shape my perception of reality.
>>319744172
I guess you're right, but still, who ever said that the new characters would exclusively be ballot votes?
>>319744318
Nigger, Phil Spencer(?) himself said he wants them in.
>>319744396
>who ever said that the new characters would exclusively be ballot votes?
Well, I figured it was kinda of the point of the final direct.
>>319744396
i love banjo kazooie and it would be cool as hell if they got in but it wont happen. who cares what he said, do you honestly fucking believe nintendo would advertise their competition in one of their most popular franchises ever?

If they were worried about advertising the competition, they wouldn't dare include Cloud.
>>319744832
Or fucking snake right when MGS4 was coming out. Or any metal gear considering they don't go to Nintendo systems.

In terms of the internet sure, but he clearly cast a pretty wide net. He wasn't trying to be biased. He honestly had better standards than a lot of political polling. And it's better than the absolute nothing you've supported your claim with.
You're so eager to be critical of others yet you can say claim "Wolf and veterans in general aren't popular because I said so" without blinking an eye. I'm sorry, but veterans are popular, and veterans are easy to make, and it doesn't matter how much you don't like the characters or desperately want a new character.
>>319745816
*you can claim
Also, if veterans weren't popular then Mewtwo/Lucas/Roy DLC would not have been a thing. Nintendo are the kings of reusing old things and pandering to nostalgia.
>>319745816
Oh I'm not the guy you were arguing with, I just got used to pointing out the faults in that thing since K. Rool fags loved throwing it around constantly. Not so much since the costume mishap, though.
I'm expecting disappointment, but I'm hoping for a Castlevania rep. Even if that'll never happen.
>>319745947
Fair enough.
Although K. Rool could still be a thing, Mii costumes don't matter much. Sakurai is a madman so I can't read his mind, but my guess is he's going to ignore pure popularity and go with whatever character would be the most surprising/impactful.
I just want it to fucking happen already the anticipation is killing me
>>319746031
I'd love to have Simon. He's practically on the scale of Mega Man in terms of relation to classic Nintendo.
>>319746135
>my guess is he's going to ignore pure popularity and go with whatever character would be the most surprising/impactful.
I actually hope he does this. It would make the presentation so much more exciting than getting the most obvious, expected choices.

there are a lot of other poll/sites, but overall, the 10 same character always come back. Do you think Sakurai will try to surprise us by taking someone barely mentioned? Or will he go full fanserv like he said he would?

I ain't even a Snake fag, but he might come back but at the cost of Wolf being in the game. But obviously, Wolf has much more of a chance.

>Paper Mario: the Fuck Partners Edition
Paper Mario
B- Jump Attack/Power Stomp/Multibounce, like Sanic's Homing Attack but a jump, Multibounce hits multiple players, Power Stomp is just slower, stronger jump
Side B-Super Hammer Spin/Fire Drive, Super Hammer charges faster if you twist the stick, fireball hits ground and makes row of fire for multiple hits, if you hit with fireball itself, the ball blows up for extra damage and knockback
Up B-Spring Jump/Tornado Jump, hold button for spring jump or do it faster if you twist the stick like TTYD, Tornado lifts Mario and other players upwards, disorienting anything else that gets caught, can toss around items too
Down B-Spin Jump/Quake Hammer/Superguard, Spin Jump is just an ass slam, hammer makes him jump up and hit the ground burying any nearby players, superguard gives a little GREAT window complete with TTYD sound effect
Forward Smash-hammer blow, complete with BOP BOP BOP BAAAP and power bar
Aerials- stylish moves
roll-he rolls up into a little tube and rolls the direction you input

Why should Sakurai do this?
Why don't you want people to have their favourites be in Smash?
Do we really need another "lol random choice xD"? Just so YOU aren't bored
Even after Game & Watch, ROB, WFT,DHD and Cloud? After all that you still want more?

not denying Wolf is high, obviously because he's a vet, but if you're going to take any made poll as a crack of truth, you really need a reality check.
remember the ballot isn't a popularity poll if you didn't get the "no vote is guaranteed" message
You have to choose TWO of the 8 following characters for the ballot, who do you choose /v/?

Isaac
Dixie Kong

though Steve is also and was always a possibility for Smash, expecting him right away for DLC seem a bit too crazy.

>>319744396
I find that tweet about Spencer insane in hindsight. Notch posted he had nothing to do with the MC deal. So when he tweeted about people asking if they could vote Banjo and "Make it happen". MS were already working with Nintendo and it could always have happened.
>>319753468
Exactly the point.
>>319745308
>Arle
Would buy
>>319753863
He said he'd like to see it happen and that there were no issues.
It's likely that Nintendo just never came forth to ask him.
His exact quote:
"I think it would be cool if Banjo was in the next [Super Smash Bros.] DLC," he said. "We've worked with Nintendo on Rare IP before, no issues."
>>319754148
AT the time everyone assumed "It would be nice but Nintendo and MS would never really work together"
Now Microsoft's porting and publishing Minecraft onto Nintendo consoles because Nintendo wanted the game. All sorts of crazy shit is possible and the thing is Spencer knew that working with Nintendo was very possible and we didn't.
It's almost as if he was telling people to vote Banjo.
>>319754268
Yeah, in fact. It almost is.
I feel like the Banjo case might just be a scenario where no one really felt it was trully possible, including Nintendo, sinply cause no one bothered to ask thanks to tge rough times caused by Maddock, and Spencer getting Banjo in Smash is like his way to heal those wounds and have friendly relations with Nintendo for different collaborations, as well as a sharing of IP.
