Jealous of her popularity sweetie? You make it sound like she hasn't been in tons of games or that people don't know her.
For Character Corner inquiries, it's best to ask NantenJex on Twitter!
It's a weird choice to rally behind. Her potential exists but is more limited than contemporaries from her series, her roles in games is as a Peach expy when the roster should call for it, with 25% more spunk and a different hairstyle (aka not things that greatly effect Smash), the "tons of games" have consisted of one unique and notable role which happened almost thirty years ago (in which she pretty much existed as little more than an object to be reclaimed) and a bunch of filler side character stuff... basically I don't see why she should be anything more than, at most, a last-minute clone.
I just wanted to be petty I didn't wanna get dragged through the dirt here. I suppose it all depends on whether or not you like her as a character. I don't think many people that support her believe she would have Rosalina level uniqueness but I really think she would definitely add something to the game and between Kart, Party and all the Sports games Daisy is THE Mario spin-off rep alongside Waluigi with a plethora of games to take inspiration from. Whether or not she'd be unique or just a Peach clone is up to whoever is in charge this time around.
The main problem though: What does Daisy do? The things that go on in the various Mario Party, Mario Kart, Mario Tennis games etc. all feature things that aren't fully utilized in Smash, yes, but none of these things are exclusive to Daisy. Characters are typically homogeneous across these games if they even have any differences to begin with outside of their animations, meaning most of what can be said for Daisy can also be said for Toad, Waluigi, or hell, any playable Mario character already in Smash to begin with. That's pretty much the definition of a character's moveset being filler.
Maybe they could still use Smash's official Facebook and Twitter pages as a new way to broadcast PotDs.
That's a good idea. Though knowing Nintendo they usually try to keep their updates close to home so I'd more expect an update to the website or, even better, the resurrection of the DOJO!!
You know, I absolutely hate how I don't have a definitive answer for you. Other characters I support like Ashley or Krystal are so easy to pinpoint on how they stand out from the rest of the cast with pretty much no argument on their uniqueness but with Daisy it's hard to find an aspect she is uniquely the most qualified for. The flower motif can be integrated as plant-based attacks like a flower mine or petal tornado recovery, there's also tons of other options available to her like Mario Land Superball, Sarasaland enemy summons, item box chargeable projectile, outfit change Zelda/Sheik mechanic, and an abundance of other ideas that haven't been mentioned or even thought of yet, but none I can use to reliably convince you to support her, especially if you just don't like her.
Whilst that might be true, it's not like she ever profitted from those appearances herself. When ever was she in a mainstream Mario game? When ever was she not simply a Peach expy, like
N3ON
said? She doesn't really have any sort of ability to speak of without using creative liberty to the max. 
The one argument I can think of against that would be that because Daisy is more of a tomboy compared to Peach, her moveset could be primarily based off sports games (hence the GameFAQs meme "Daisy in her Sports Outfit: DIHSE). Like for her up-special, say, she could toss a tennis ball and serve it. I don't know how much weight this concept would hold however, and some would argue we already got something similar with Wii Fit Trainer.
Look, I like Daisy as a character, and I'd like to see her in smash, that's pretty much it. I don't think she's likely but I'd still like to play as her. You make it sound like most of the characters on the rosters moves weren't just made up on the spot.Whilst that might be true, it's not like she ever profitted from those appearances herself.

I'm all for new Nintendo characters cause I think the attention is shifted far too much toward 3rd party characters, but Daisy?! Really now...? Even Waluigi is far more workable and interessting. I just cannot see the appeal of the character at all.
The question should have REALLY specified whether or not it was a port.
Agreed. Although I voted for 5-6, if the game was just a port, I would've most likely gone lower.
I went ahead and voted 1-2 under the assumption that you were talking about a port. I feel that 1-2 is more realistic, and that two characters with maybe a few extra stages would provide a good enough selling point. Although more characters would be nice, of course.
I voted 1-2 because I assumed it's a port, as well. I agree it should be specified.
I worded it like that so you also have to decide whether you feel a port or a brand new game is more likely.
I know, but you said you were "trying to get a consensus." Kind of hard to do that when there's a lot of different ways to ask the question.
I just wanted to know what the users here generally think/expect. I guess "consensus" isn't the best word for that.I know, but you said you were "trying to get a consensus." Kind of hard to do that when there's a lot of different ways to ask the question.
I didn't mean to rake you over the coals, though I don't really believe questioning you about Daisy constitutes as such, I just am at a loss as to Daisy's newfound popularity, and, as someone who appears to support Daisy, I wanted to know why that was the case. Of course everyone is entitled to like who they like, I was just expecting to hear some defence as to what seems like, again, just an inferior choice for an addition. Unless you're deliberately looking for clone material.
Even apart from WFT, personally I would argue that that seems like something Sakurai is more readily implementing with Waluigi. I mean he's already holding a tennis racquet. And, as stated well by several other people, those are hardly traits unique to Daisy herself, or even Waluigi. Why Daisy?
I know it's from Super Mario Land 2, but what about the Carrot power-up? Maybe that could work as an Up Special. Or if they did go the Peach clone/semi-clone route, it could be her equivalent to Peach's float, and she sprouts the bunny ears as a reference.
That bit at the end is likely why no one's mentioned it. If Daisy's uniqueness comes down to things she's never actually used, it's a bit of an issue.
The Super Carrot would certainly work, especially if they wanted to go for the full "Super Mario Land" route with her character. It still fits her character without feeling forced.
It's all good, you keep asking questions. I can't speak for other supporters, but I want Daisy in smash more for who she is as a character. Her vibrant outgoing personality and tomboyish competitive mannerisms speak to me. I've never picked characters based on their drawing board movesets because, quite frankly, that's such a dull way of playing a game. Sure, she might not have the most unique traits that can be used as a gimmick to get her in smash and sure, she might just be a Peach clone if she got in, but that doesn't make her inferior as a character, and if I prioritize who a character is instead of what the character can do, then there must be other people who play the game who do the same.
While I agree that Daisy has little to nothing going for her (and I say this as someone that does like and support the character), I still think certain elements from the games she's appeared are fair game for use. Plenty of Smash characters use abilities that aren't theirs or have completely made up ones where Sakurai was required to take creative liberties.
Pretty much. I hope you're still alright despite having to deal with that yesterday.
People used the same "generic swordsman" straw man countless times, countless others said him being Japan-only hurts him a lot, any look towards things like Samurai Warriors or Nintendo Land was considered ****ing him like it's a serious sign, and saying characters like Duck Hunt or Balloon Fighter deserved that slot more. Zuxxion, YoshiAndToad, BKupa666, and several others were a part of these groups.
You don't need to name names you know.
Being a "creator's pet" is horribly irrelevant when Camelot only handles Tennis and Golf. And since Golf doesn't really give anyone real "powers" to speak of, it basically limits whatever he got in the Tennis games as Camelot's doing.
