I see autocorrect put "bad" in place of "dumb".

And everyone knows the best Koopaling is Iggy.

Ludwig is great. Named and after a world class composer and styles his hair after him, a very ambitious Koopaling indeed. They are all pretty pro except Larry is kind of generic, most generic name, palette-swap of Iggy and Lemmy without rainbow hair or glasses or crazy eyes. He is still way better than Bowser Jr. who is gutter tier.

All of the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. are extremely good and cool. Bowser did a good job raising his children despite being a single father.

When you think about it all of the Koopalings have their own cool unique thing:

Morton Koopa, Jr. - models himself after the Star Child from his favorite band KISS, reveals the true name of King Morton "Bowser" Koopa
Ludwig Van Koopa - styles himself after our old friend Ludwig Van, favorite Koopaling of classical music lovers
Wendy O. Koopa - a girl, by default the hottest, likes bows and the color pink (like all girls? [source?])
Iggy Koopa - wears glasses which make him the smart one, named after David Bowie character Iggy Stardust
Lemmy Koopa - named after the lead singer of Motorhead, crazy eyes probably indicated a mental disorder which is tragic but cool
Roy Koopa - Cool shaved head and sunglasses, he's our boy
Larry Koopa - named after Larry the Cable Guy since he is just a regular joe, has normalish hair for a Koopa and is just a down to earth kinda guy
Bowser Jr. (note that he does not have the Koopa last name) - jealous of his cool older siblings and kind of a mama's boy, the choice for all lovely little brothers and followers everywhere

My brother always picks Morton because "he's the ugliest, look at him". It's a compelling argument.

e: Iggy Koopa is actually named for Iggy Pop, the DJ on that one GTA4 station.

So who do you all think has the best shot at being made into character form from the ballot? I'm pretty sure it's not just a raw 'whoever is first wins' because there's sure to be millions of people voting for Hitler or whatever. I'd kinda presume third-party characters aren't in first consideration and let's face it Ridley is never getting in, so...Waluigi? Geno? I'm not certain what Nintendo characters are really in highest demand.

Everyone is voting for old characters like Roy, Pichu, and Wolf because new things are scary. Everything else is so trumped by people just voting for old characters that it's hard to predict which new characters will be added.

Oh okay I forgot about Wolf, yeah, he's probably the most likely leader. Him or Roy.

...there's no way in hell Pichu is beating out an actual useful character though. I would be dumbfounded if goddamn Pichu is seriously leading the polls.

No offense to anyone who likes Roy but I really hope he doesn't win since we've already got enough FE swordsmen as it is. The Robins are fine because their magic makes them unique, Ike and Marth get a pass because they're veterans, and Lucina's not at fault for being the remnant of a concept that couldn't be fully implemented.

If they have to include another FE character, I'd rather have someone more unique such as Yarne and or his mother Panne.

If I can be honest for a minute, I think it is more useful to bring back peoples' old familiar mains than it is to make someone new that so many people will never get the most out of. There's already so many new dudes to learn, there is no shortage of new to be had in this new Smash world.

Having said that, I'm excited for Ryu, and I hope old Roy boys can stoke their fires again. I voted for Wolf O'Donnell.
