I'm considering getting Disney Infinity 3.0. I keep going back and forth in my head. It's essentially "My Childhood: The Video Game," probably even more so than Smash, as I got into Nintendo as a whole and all their IPs AFTER playing Brawl.

If Disney makes Gravity Falls figures, I'll be 100% sold and will buy it instantly. There is a pretty good chance, as on an official poll to decide a new figure for Disney Infinity, Mabel (who was confirmed to stand for GF representation as a whole, meaning we'd also get a Dipper figure) is in 1st place, with 50% of the voters choosing her. Her only competition is Darkwing Duck, who has 45%. It's pretty funny. There's 20 characters to vote for, most of which are Classic Disney characters, and they're the only ones above 2%. Even if Darkwing Duck wins, it won't be by a lot, and I doubt Disney will pass by the opportunity to make even more money by making both.

I dunno man... I'm of the opinion that there's more of an attitude problem with the people sending death and **** threats than with the people advocating for some change in game representation.
Hostility and childishness is met with more hostility and childishness. It's a vicious circle.

They're taking their sweet time, but Mabel just won the official DI poll so they're a 99% certainty. They should have been in 2.0!

Even that Tier List is terrible.

I'm pretty sure Kirby is more popular than Samus; DK, Little Mac, Jigglypuff, Mega Man and Duck Hunt should be higher, Ganondorf, WFT, Ike and Zelda should be lower, Captain Falcon is a meme, etc.

About the topic of this morning, I agree on what I've missed. It doesn't matter how much anyone pisses you off, never, NEVER send threats in any way shape or form. Also, at Iwata's death a friend of mine was bashing Anita because of a quote of how she hopes Nintendo used it as a way to improve their stuff towards women. I calle bull**** and defended Anita because I knew said image was fake

I love how they act as if Marth and Ike were more known than Lucina and Robin
Also, lol at Mega Man
They are.

Most people are introduced to Fire Emblem through Smash; Smash was the gateway for the series to get translated.

People who played Melee or Brawl but not FE:A will know who Marth is. They likely wouldn't know who Robin or Lucina are.

I actually think the other Tier list was a lot more accurate than this one.

> Roy is more recognizable than Lucina, and I'd argue that he's on the same level as Ike. Not a lot of non-Japanese gamers have played Binding Blade, but I'm pretty sure most FE fans have played Melee.

> Sheik being niche is laughable. Ocarina of Time is often considered a candidate for the best game of all time, and Sheik plays a major role in that game.

> F-Zero may not be popular, but Captain Falcon is. To say that he's less famous than the likes of Little Mac, DHD, and R.O.B is a bit ridiculous.

> Link and Toon Link should be on the same level. They're different versions of the same character. I don't think there's anyone who would look at Link, know who he is, and then look at Toon Link and say "Who's that?".

They're all pretty much in the same boat, maybe not so much Ike since his games didn't get a lot of exposure but Smash definitely helps his case.

Marth well, you can't really know Lucina and Robin without knowing Marth.

Then all characters have the same recognizability
This should be without accounting Smash
Otherwise Ness shouldn't be in the last tier

This tier list is awful.
The only bit I agree with is the top tier. But honestly? I think Link is more iconic (well, maybe not anymore) than Luigi and Peach...even if he is only known as "Zelda" :p.

I know he's technically a Smash original character, but the fact Mr. Game & Watch is at the bottom kills this for me.

The amount of people who have played Melee and/or Brawl and not SSB4 or FE:A likely far outnumber the amount of people who have played SSB4 and/or FE:A.

I don't think it'd be too hard to find someone who knows who Marth and Ike are (Roy as well), but does not know who Robin and Lucina are.

Ryu should be moved up, he's pretty much the front runner of an entire genre.

Toon Link being with Link wouldn't hurt, I mean outside of Smash they are the "same" character and Nintendo really likes bringing back the design as well. Zamus is in the same boat imo

I'd maybe make a case that Jigglypuff is more universally known than Lucario, popularity within the franchise be damned, but otherwise I think this list can't quit.

Because it's legit.

Which is a shame because Roy is utter trash

Toon Link and TP Link are on the same boat, definitely. Maybe Toon Link is higher, Nintendo promotes the hell out of the Toon designs.
Not so sure about ZSS. On the one hand, most people (i hope!) know that Samus is actually a woman...but I don't think as many people know what that woman looks like.

I don't really want to start an argument in this thread nor spark a debate. I just really need to get something of my chest regarding the whole Paragon 2015 fiasco. Disclaimer: This is just my opinion.
In terms of my preferred Smash Bros. game, that would have to be Smash 4. It's a game without any advanced techniques and is easy to master. So its my game of choice. My second preferred Smash Bros. game would have to be Project M because it feels a lot newer and brings something fresh to the table (in my opinion). These two Smash games I play a lot as I have a deep bond with them.

This might sound weird, but even though I prefer Smash 4, I have this deep feeling of Nostalgia for Project M (yes, that kind of nostalgia). Project M is what got me into Smash as a whole. When I found out 3.0 was coming out, I was so stoked. That's when I found out about Smash Boards. From there on, I started following the Smash Community for continuous updates and tournaments. It even got me more hyped for Smash 4!

Seeing a game that you know and love get neglected like that is really hard. On top of that, hearing speculation of NDA's behind closed doors so that the Smash Community won't erupt into flames and hearing tons of conspiracy theories is really breaking my heart. Why can't we just enjoy a game that a lot of people love and have fun? Is that so much to ask?

I understand that at the end of the day, profits always come first in businesses like Twitch and Nintendo. But they are hurting a community whose spent hours of dedication into this game. Basically taking away players their right to express their beliefs. It's just sad that it all had to end up like this all over a ****ing video game.
And yes, I do realize the legal mess this game is in. But this was just pure venting of my emotions and feelings. I'm sorry if I missed any facts or whatnot. I just had to vent as this is just getting super annoying.

Yeah true. But even then I hate arguing about popularity in Smash because everyone is popular when they become a playable fighter.

There are characters more popular than others but they are all well known characters thanks to Smash itself
