Something tells me that this article being published sent a lot of people to that site to see who people were even voting on, and it crashed the server.
As for the first comment, the mega man one.. Yeah, you know, why isn't Nintendo trying to get classic characters that made their consoles great in the first place? Simon Belmont, Mega Man, One of Contra's commandos (If Snake can be there, so could they).. Seems like they should be looking to a plethora of publishers who'd probably be quite happy to go back to their roots and scrape up some latent players.
I then promptly voted for it.
"How the fuck is Dunsparce in first place? MEGA MAN YOU FOOLS!"
When I voted just a few mins ago:
Dunsparce (7425 votes, 45%)
(For those who don't know, Dunsparce is a snake like Pokemon with small wings and a drill like rattle thing on its tail.. Not really a major Pokemon that I know of despite some appearances in the cartoon)
This poll lost all credence in my eyes.
I'm not even going to bother to vote. Nintendo/Namco aren't going to put little known character's in the roster when there's a gamut of well known and well loved character's to pick from.
Really hoping for Isaac, Skull Kid, Flint, Ridley, and King K.Rool to make it in. They all deserve it.
Its depressing how little votes Shulk and Travis Touchdown have. C'mon, I've dreamed of having Travis for years now and Shulk ever since I finished Xenoblade! They'd be such a good fit for this game, think of the Final Smashes. Monado Buster for Shulk's and a crazy, colourful Suda-style flurry of slashing for Travis', maybe using all the different types of Beam Katanas from NMH2.
But yeah, Dunsparce, really? For one thing, there's been tons of Pokemon in the Smash series, and also its already a given that there'll be new ones so why not use this opportunity to get some different characters. And really, Dunsparce?! That's the little yellow guy with no arms right? I don't see much potential in terms of a moveset.
COS SAKURAI RETWEETED IT THAT ONE TIME. But seriously, he's made it clear the roster won't be that much bigger. What empty slots they have they'll probably devote to actual Nintendo characters, you'd hope. Being a game focused around that. Give me Tom Nook/Hades from Kid Icarus over fucking Professor Layton or Travis Touchdown (and especially Snake) any day.
The more input fans have on a big-name game like this, the more fans will be pissed off their input didn't matter. And do we really need any more of that?
Still don't know why everyone is so dead set on getting Ridley and his giant ass in the game. He worked as a boss in SSE, but he really shouldn't be an actual character with that massive hitbox. There's still plenty of Metroid characters available if that's all people are all up about.
But Bowser isn't too big, and Olimar isn't too small?
The size argument is incredibly stupid. Metroid needs another rep, and Ridley is the best candidate, since he's the most recurring villain.
King K. Rool, Ridley, Tom Nook, and Waluigi are all great options though.
IRON TARKUS!!!'
Flint is from Mother 3. He's Lucas's dad. He's pretty badass. He kills the mechanized dinothing that killed his wife with its own fang, gets sent to jail for beating some guy with a log, tanks several of Claus's PK Love Omegas at the end of the game, AND wears a cowboy hat!
Shulk and Zael would be cool though.
