Official Character Suggestion Poll

Eggman: Main villain of entire series. Provides rare mech fighting style that only one other character can claim to have.
Kefka: 1-time villain of series. Just another magic fighter.

Yeah, I'm starting to see more FF bias from you.

You must have missed the "sonic has 4 reps" part. FF, one of the most major series in gaming and has it's roots in Nintendo doesn't deserve 2?

Edit: You're not wrong about Kefka himself however. SK, is it possible to campaign for the replacement of Kefka with Gilgamesh?

So what if Sonic has 4 reps? The series has a character in Brawl, FF doesn't. Not only that, but the series has a crossover series with Mario that will most likely continue as long as it makes money and Olympics keep going.
FF at most has had what, a set of guest characters for two games?

While FF having a 2nd character is all well and, it shouldn't be at the cost of the main villain of the Sonic series, and it should be after Dragon Quest, which is more synonomous with Nintendo, getting its 1st (Slime).

DLC Poll Updated.

Would like to thank M Bison, Keven, & CartmanWii for continuing to help with the Candidate Listings.

As for your request, Perfecthell. I'm unsure about replacing candidates due to the drama from the Master Chief poll. Though it was a completely different situation. Will have to think about this one.

This is not enough to warrant having more reps than every other series in the game except Pokemon and Mario. 4 characters plus something like 6 stages is already over-representation when compared against the other major series, not even looking at FF. To add a character would be ridiculous, and i would easily support a second FF or a first from DQ over that.

argue with people to change their votes then

i am going to say this one more time

the poll is not about who is deserving, no matter how much you want it to be

If the argument is valid, it actually does change votes. Need I point you to the countless examples of this throughout all of the official polls? How about the recent campaign for Pokemon Musical?

Yes, the poll is partially about who is deserving, something that has been gone over before already. Partly who deserves it, and partly favoritism. Most of the counter arguments are actually about why the character in question is deserving, like the arguments in favor of Takamaru or Golden's recent points about Eggman, so stop trying to pretend "deserving" isn't a major part of the poll and that I'm the only one concerned about it, otherwise the counter-arguments would have been something like "but Eggman's really cool and I like him".

And lastly, I will once again point out that debate and campaigns for vote changes are both allowed and encouraged.

Do you even pay attention to the roster?
Kirby has
Kirby
Meta Knight
King Dedede
Waddle Dee
Gooey
AND a CONFIRMED DLC spot.
That's still more than Sonic, even with Eggman.

Zelda has
Link
Zelda/Sheik
Ganondorf
Toon Link
Vaati
Tingle
AND a CONFIRMED DLC spot.
That's even more than Kirby.

And DK?
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong/Dixie Kong (counts as two, as there will be the option to play as one seperately)
K. Rool

Which is the same as Sonic will have without Eggman, and DK also has a DLC candidate in Cranky Kong, making it tie with Sonic still if both Eggman and Cranky win.

All other "major series" are generally non-Nintendo and not featured in Smash to begin with. Nor do they have anything to do with the main Nintendo series (Mario), let alone a whole subseries dedicated to crossovers with it.

And furthering Golden's post, Donkey Kong is a Mario Spin-Off, which would normally mean that it's amount of characters for that series on the roster would be conglomerated with Wario and Yoshi. So Sonic is some what justified. I honestly do hope for a new Final Fantasy rep, but not at the hands of Eggman.

technically, isn't it the other way around?

You have a good point sir.

And I hate you for it.

Sonic has less relevance than every series named thus far. Notice Sonic wasn't added until Brawl, and even then, just one character. Compare the number of reps, and how early those reps appeared, from the other major series against that. Sonic doesn't need 5 reps.

This is of course ignoring the three other titles Sonic and Mario have been in. He's totally irrelevant.

Notice how Third-Party characters weren't considered until Brawl, and even then, there is no way in hell that Sakurai will add more than one character from a respective third-party company.

With this logic, Final Fantasy shouldn't even have a rep. Because it was never in Smash Brothers in the first place.


But seriously PH4, you made a stupid decision targeting Eggman in favor Kefka. Especially because Kefka can not compare to how important Eggman is to his franchise.

Not irrelevant entirely, less relevant.

Didn't i already state that Kefka himself should be replaced by Gilgamesh, and that Golden was right about Kefka being a one-off villain? In fact, was that not the exact argument i used in favor of WoL countless times in the respective thread? Yes to both.

If Kefka were replaced by Gilgamesh, there would be a more favorable argument there. However at this point it's not Eggman vs. (insert character), it's the simple fact that Eggman should not win at all. Please, justify for me that sonic gets more reps than Metroid. A third party who has some side game appearances with Mario Vs. what is considered to be part of the Nintendo big 3 for original Nintendo series. It's absurd.

Simple: Metroid is NOT a character driven series.
To add pointless characters for the sake of "oh, but it's Nintendo" in favor of a series like Sonic is asinine.

I mean literally, the game is essentially Samus vs. the world. Ridley just happens to be a major recurring enemy and archnemesis, being the one who caused her to go down that road to begin with.

After that, you have, what? A bunch of one-timers with little importance (Anthony, Sylux, etc.), and a couple major threats that either can't work as a playable character (Mother Brain), or are rather redundant (Dark Samus; note, I'm not saying she's exactly like Samus, but if a majority of the characters are named "*Insert adjective* Samus", we got a problem.)

And Metroid is not, nor ever HAS been one of Nintendo's top 3. The top 3 has always been Mario, Pokemon, and Zelda. And if you're trying to argue strictly 1st Party franchise, then it's Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong.
Metroid hasn't really kicked off until Prime.

Actually, we could have Mother Brain as a playable character, it would just be pretty hard to do.

Alright then. Let's add Whispy Woods and 02 while at it. They are in the same boat as Mother Brain

Can I just ask how:
A. Having actual games with Mario in them makes Sonic a less relevant franchise?

B. How Third Party characters not being added until Brawl helps you?

C. How Gilgamesh has anything to do with what I said?

By that logic, we shouldn't have near the amount of 3rd Parties we have, let alone by a particular company (looking at YOU, Capcom...).

Yeah but that's an entire company, you're talking about many different game series (though i can't disagree about Capcom). Here it's one individual 3rd party series who has a spin-off with Mario. 5 reps is still ridiculous.

I'm just going to say how much I love arguing about DLC of all things.

When did I say that series makes Sonic less relevant? What they don't do is make Sonic more relevant than the major series, or even close. Why? It's a spin-off series. Sure it helps his case, and maybe warrants having 3 characters instead of 2, but it does not warrant 5.

B. How Third Party characters not being added until Brawl helps you?
Because a third party franchise is not as important as the first parties, and should not be repped as much or even close.

C. How Gilgamesh has anything to do with what I said?
You talked about Kefka, so you were actually the one to bring FF back into this. I then had to point out that I myself have supported Gilgamesh over Kefka since what happened in the WoL thread, and do not find Kefka to be of greater importance than Eggman.

A. But it makes Sonic more relevant than any other Third Party franchise.

B. Clearly obvious

C. Actually, no. You spoke of Kefka first.

We need more people to drop their eggman votes. Why does Eggman, a Sonic villain, need representation over say, Kefka? It's not like Sonic already has 4 reps or anything, that would be weird.

The way you worded it made it seem like you thought Kefka had more importance than Eggman. It was just a misunderstanding by my part.
