Who do you think will win the ballot?

Apologies for the double post.

Been seeing this picture around the internet, showing early results of the Ballot.

From what I've been hearing, K. Rool has a huge lead.

I think we're getting K. Rool and Inkling for sure.

two issues i have with that; geno is third party and just cause theyre slim doesnt mean theyre out of the running. and layton, i thought he was first party?

It says "This list is in no way official." Whilst that does mean that someone could've gathered the results themselves to make this image, before that it also says "ranked using the following criteria: popularity, series success, viability as a fighter, contribution to Nintendo's history and licensing constraints".

Basically, it doesn't say that these are results gathered from the actual poll.

so my guess is that someone has attempted to list the most popular choices (based on what's being said around the net) and then rank them by their own opinions of their viability (or the opinions of a group of people, idk)

e: also sorry for deleting and reposting this, had to fix a few things
 
i didnt think of this before but abraham lincoln being playable is an actual fucking possibility now

im excited, i seriously hope this ballot ends with an unlikely person making it in rather than an expected inkling or k rool

the layton series is made by level-5, a third party company, even if all of the installments up to this point (barring that ios spinoff which doesnt even have any layton characters in it afaik) have been on nintendo consoles

that would make sense, especially as it seems to mostly only consist of people who are heavily requested among the western audiences (idk who the japanese want but seeing the EBA makes me think of the ouendan, which im sure theres some people in japan who would vote them, same goes for other series that are mostly popular in japan)

also why in the world is wart placed so high??

if anyone cares, there's this article which talks about which characters are most requested in japan, but it's a bit outdated

according to this survey, Lucas was #1, followed by nearly all veterans (including pichu) as the most requested characters in Japan. King K. Rool is the first newcomer request after that.

yeah the image is from /v/, and it's not meant to be taken as the official results

it's a pretty extensive summary of popular contenders though. I seriously hope Isaac ranks highly in the real thing
 
*Characters that have appeared in previous Smash Bros. titles have not been included as they may return as DLC.
YES

EDIT: wait this isn't official

pack my bags I'm going home

K. Rool AND Inkling? Are we getting more than one character for DLC?
