She was within the top 3 most voted characters for the US and Japan, and was the number 1 most voted in Europe. There's no way you can spin this that doesn't end with her winning the contest clean. Take a statistics class or something. Any way you slice it she came out on top above every single character included on a Nintendo system, including first party characters. To say "nobody wanted her" is not just factually wrong, it's completely baseless. Now if you say YOU didn't want her, that's a different story and you can't argue against that.

That is the most asinine thing I've ever heardI don't give a shit about half the Pokemon they put in, that doesn't mean I'd rather them put some half-assed character because it's all about me and fuck everybody elseShe was the highest ranking character in the poll that they could do so they put her in and that's the end of itAnd she's pretty much a Nintendo character now because they're the only ones licensing her games so you might as well get used to her
Honestly, I'd rather Sakurai and Nintendo just call the shots for characters at this point. All this fan input is headache inducing.
...Cloud what? Certainly Cloud was wanted and popular, just considered impossible due to preconceived rules about third-party characters. Not without some form of basis, mind you, but not so rigid that they couldn't be bent enough to allow one of the biggest RPG characters out there in.Unless you mean you're completely against all characters that don't put Nintendo first, regardless of their status and popularity. In which case....sorry? Smash certainly is Nintendo focused, but when opportunity arises to bring other huge names into the fold, people are going to want it. Like, imagine they want to represent the FPS genre (other than Samus, which Metroid Prime is a far cry from your typical FPS anyways) and the option for Master Chief or Gordon Freeman comes up? That would be a huge draw.Oh my god, could you imagine Gordon Freeman using the gravity gun for far-ranged grabs, though? That would be awesome/terribly broken.

I mean that I personally do not like Cloud at all. That was all I meant.They already have Mario and Yoshi to represent the FPS genre, I mean... Who else would they choose? Doomguy or B.J. Blastowitz?
What the fuck?Mario and Yoshi were in one shooter and it was an obscure Super Scope rail shooter on the SNES (Yoshi's Safari)I think it's time to stop
Also yes, they would choose DoomGuy. The series has got history with Nintendo, and still has an exclusive what with Doom 64. Heavily censored compared to the likes of Doom 4, obviously, like Bayonetta went through, but you can still get away with things like the Plasma Gun or BFG9000. Not sure how you'd go about fitting in the signature Super Shotgun because you're not losing that, but hypothetically DoomGuy can be made to fit in.

Because those are the most impressive mental gymnastics I've seen in a while.

All this fan input is headache inducing.Of course I believe everyone is entitled to feel however they do about any character's presence or exclusion. I only take issue when I see complete ignorance used to justify either. These games aren't being sold to a sole individual, so to disregard the tastes of thousands because one person disagrees is more than a little questionable.
Remember how Nintendo added a what the fuck NES character to Melee with Ice Climbers?And then a what the fuck NES character to Brawl with ROB?And then a what the fuck NES character to Smash 4 with Duck Hunt?I want the what the fuck NES character of Smash Bros for Switch to be Mike Jones from StarTropics, and I just couldn't care less how unlikely his addition would be.I know he wont be in Smash Bros for Switch, but that still wont stop me from dreaming, damn it!Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltySadly, people consider StarTropics so dead that even Banjo-Kazooie, Geno and the returning Solid Snake have better chances to be put in, and that just breaks my heart ;-;
What about Star Man from Pro Wrestling? Would be interesting to have a grappler. And then they could reboot that and have the game reach a whole new audience.
Most likely it will be Takamaru, but ...I'd like it to be either Balloon Fighter with a gameplay focused around air-game. Or, Lip from Panel De Pon, being a summoner of those blocks.
