Super smash brothers Series

Something I realized. Now, I have absolutely no concrete evidence if this actually happened, but I think there's something there.

Bayonetta beating everyone in the poll in Europe I'm not too surprised about. Same for her being in the top for NA.

Still, what about the rest of the popular entries? I think going on social media sites and forums at least gives you some idea what people voted for. Especially considering how much people bitch every time there was a new announcement. It doesn't take a genius to figure out who people wanted in Smash the most. At least, regarding who Nintendo even had a chance to attain (THEN AGAIN WE GOT CLOUD SO I GUESS ANYTHING IS FUCKING POSSIBLE).

Still, people thought (for some reason) that they were going to use the ballot to bring in like 5 new fighters. Obviously that isn't the case. But did you ever consider them at least looking at the other characters that made it high in the ballot? It looks like my theory is clear, that most of the mii fighter outfits came from the ballot. After all, everyone cried foul whenever a new outfit was shown. It's pretty obvious just about all the outfits are based off of characters a lot of people voted for.

Sakurai definitely looked at each one;

"K. Rool? Too fat and irrelevant."
"Zero? Nah, Megaman doesn't need another rep."
"Knuckles? Too gay and dumb."
But he figured at least a way to appease those people in a cheap and quick way is to provide mii outfits. Just another case of good intentions leading to bad feedback.

People are now asking "what about the ballot results? What about those who got a high amount of votes?"

Fellas . . . you're looking at it.

I really don't know much about the game, its community and the character voting polls to give opinion, but the only thing I can say is how odd (to me) that Europe was like the reason Bayonetta made it.
So what about the America poll then?
Can someone get screenshots of both America and Europe polls (whatever its called). I want to see the top characters.

On a different note, I'm shocked to noticed Ice Climbers are not in the game. I feel like it's a sin to leave out og characters like that.

For your first question, I'm pretty certain Bayonetta is big in Europe. Along with most, if not all, highly acclaimed hack-n-slash titles. Possibly more than in NA. They said she was top 5 in NA polls, though.

But, like my previous post said, it doesn't look like they're sharing the results. Nobody has ever seen them, outside of the Smash development team.

Ice Climbers were actually suppose to be in the game. There was even a glitch in the 3DS game when it first released, you would randomly hear the crowd cheer for them.

According to Sakurai, they were removed from the game because the 3DS couldn't handle them properly when he ported them over. I remember him going into further (and nicer) explanation that boiled down to "They weren't important enough to fix, so we just cut them out." It would've been insane/awesome to do 8-player Smash with them.

Ice Climbers are also not OG, they first appeared in Melee.
