SSB4: SSB for Wii U and 3DS, maybe the NX and also your toaster!

The Smash facebook page seems to be heavily implying the character ballots are restricted to Nintendo characters only.

[Jedi]

I find it unlikely also if Sakurai has stated anything about a character not working etc in the past. They probably will not be considered.

That post is directed towards me, right?

I just saw that on GoNintendo and thought I should post it here. I don't know for sure if it means the ballot is strictly Nintendo characters only, but since the official Smash facebook page run by Nintendo implies it, I thought it at least warranted a mention here.

I know and I read it. I was simply stating that those hoping for Ridley, Ice Climbers, Chrom or other characters that Sakurai has stated would not work, may not be counted in the greater poll

There is also a chance that even if some obscure character won (see Geno) they wouldn't actually win due to (the Square deal or the fact he isn't relevant)

Well, If Lucas is back from the pit of no return, maybe we'll get Wolf, Snake and Roy! No? Just Me?

[Randoman]

Ah, that clears things up.

Well, even if they won't ever be considered for SSB4/5 DLC, I hope Sakurai will take those requests for them in account for SSB5/6. I know that some requests like Ridley and Ice Climbers are quite unfeasible as DLC, but for the sake of their fans I hope he'll keep those two in mind for the next Smash Bros. I mean, from what I know of this is literally the only chance American/European Smash fans have had to directly request for Smash characters and have their opinions go straight to Sakurai (well, barring Club Nintendo surveys and Miiverse posts since those probably don't give much weight to character requests). So even though this is simply for DLC requests only, this is literally the only straight out opportunity for American/European smashers to vote for characters to be playable in Smash period.

I wouldn't read too much into that. The Smash Ballot page makes no mention of 1st/3rd Party characters whatsoever, so the phrasing in the Facebook page doesn't mean you can't vote for a non-Nintendo character.

GUYS CHECK OUT SOME HOME DEPOT ALTS I FOUND!

That won't stop them from excluding third party characters, after all it is their game.

You, good sir, have won all my respect LOL

That's sad, but true...

So why are they wearing Home Depot aprons? I get that Shrek and Goku are popular joke requests, I think 4Chan has requested Home Depot as a character too.

Is Home Depot a character or alternate coloring/costume for Shrek and Goku? I don't understand how of all possible characters, people choose a store

Honestly I'm very surprised they didn't stress that you should only vote for Nintendo characters, because it's a huge hassle to get third party characters in. (Yeah I know I said I wanted to vote for Vyse, but I'm not going to because yeah.)

But we don't know this. They said nothing about excluding 3rd party characters on the Direct nor the official site.

[Misses Elise-chan!]

For indie character I would choose Quote, for third party I would choose Ryu from street fighter then Black Mage.

But we don't know this. They said nothing about excluding 3rd party characters on the Direct nor the official site.

I would like to see a third party character and I would be ok with some other third party character I'm not familiar with, but I think that it's very unlikely, not that it won't happen.

I'm pretty sure they used the word "consider", so they could go with the easiest choice, that being a Nintendo character.

I actually love that Micaiah pic because I considered voting for her (for some reason I can picture her so easily being a cool addition dropping Thani bombs everywhere), but ultimately didn't because I'd rather not risk my Isaac vote not being counted. Sorry Micaiah!

Apparently Nintendo is going to consider third-party characters for Smash Bros.

I recant my above statement but I'm still not 100% sure about who to vote for. Gonna think long and hard on this.

If that's the case give me either Snake back, Belmont or Crono

[Dai]

I am so proud of myself. I finally got all of the customs in the 3DS version. All Headgear and Outfits, too. Only took me entirely too long to do so. XD

[PuffPuff]

It's really great that were getting more outfits and hats, too. Since we won't see Smash 5 in another 7-8 years.

Or if we ever get another one in the first place. (We might not)

all sorts of votes for the likes of Alucard and the Belmonts are now 100% possible. Among others

There's going to be another one. Nintendo won't just shelf such a huge moneymaker. The real question is if Sakurai will continue to direct the series.

I'd like to see more outfits for the regular cast. Anyone else feel the same way?

Totally! I still really want Mr. L for Luigi and Vanguard for Ike. :P

Way off-topic, but I got my Fox Amiibo and my King Dedede Amiibo to Level 50...and now I can hardly beat them. I've created monsters.

On-topic, I would like costumes as well. As suggested by Anacybele, Ike's Vanguard would be cool.
