I legit think Captain Toad would be an interesting fighter, besides having NO idea how they would handle him jumping. He's not supposed to be able to jump, but you need to have the ability to in this game.

I love the idea of Capt Toad being a heavyweight because of his backpack
His jump functions normally, but it's one of the little flying platforms you had to blow on the gamepad to raise instead of the Captain actually jumping.

I'm seriously torn between the good Captain and Geno. For jumping, I think one of those blue platforms that you blow on could just appear under him and hoist him up.

Edit: hell, beaten. I'll use this space to say that Toadette as an alt character or recolor would rule.

Well, expect these characters to get botted close to the top of the polls.

quote:

Alright, /v/. I've been running a strawpoll ever since the Nintendo Direct and it has a good couple of thousand votes now. It's time to cut it down to the top 10 to see who the most popular character is (from /v/ and /vg/ at least) for the Smash Ballot. I'll let it run for a few days and then after that we'll have irrefutable scientific evidence for who /v/'s favorite character is for the Smash Ballot.

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you your Top 10 most voted for characters:

>1) Wonder Red
>2) Solid Snake
>3) King K. Rool
>4) Krystal
>5) Isaac
>6) Bayonetta
>7) Simon Belmont
>8) Inkling
>9) Shovel Knight
>10) Shantae

And yes, Krystal really did come in 4th.

uhm Tetra is a pirate, i don't see what she has to do with some princess? i highly doubt they are the same person. their skin tone isn't even similar.

all assist trophies should be turned into full fighters, also. let little mac light the way to a playable dr. kawashima

Who would be mad about Dixie? She seems like she'd be a natural front-runner, as a major playable character from one of Nintendo's biggest series that hasn't had a new fighter in Smash 4 yet.

Still quite new to this version of smash, and as a DK main from the old days I have to ask:

Is there anything he actually does well?

Wind-up punch is barely even a threat now.

His recovery for whatever reason was made even worse than brawl with that ridiculous pose at the end of a perfectly landed DK copter.

Cargo throws are now totally useless.

Oh well, I guess at least his back air and up air are decent.


One question I have after getting my rear end kicked up and down for two hours in online: what am I supposed to do when coming to the ground? Seems like he has insane landing lag on everything, and they've definitely changed something with the landing abilities of the air dodge. In brawl this was my usual go-to, but somehow I seem to far more vulnerable using this tactic in smash 4. Doesn't help that it's basically muscle memory at this point and I keep doing it out of habit!

"Too similar to Diddy"

"Not from DK64 are you loving kidding me? Lanky is way more popular."

"Doesn't even have any attacks to use from her games other than the ponytail"

"No one even likes her and the only game she's been in for 20 years is as a supporting character"

"Gender tokenism man, gender tokenism."

Now most of these are insane and/or easily refutable, but you can expect all of these and more.

I don't play DK but from my experience, DK seems to focus on breaking shields and staying on the ground. His tilts also come out fast and have ridiculously long range and a lot of his grabs are good set ups for follow-up attacks, especially his down throw.

I'd try just try to constantly pressure your opponent by keeping your distance with tilts and abusing how well DK can just utterly destroy shields when you force them to play defensively.

I dunno if Lanky's more popular, but he's certainly BETTER. :colbert:
