Um, hey, you kinda not only missed two votes for Masked Man, but somehow negated one of the points he got in the first two votes (5 and 22 respectively).

The correct total is "37".

Also, another preemptive suggestion for stages is a Castle stage from Yoshi's Island. No more freaking flat cheery stages.
You are correct good sir, I didn't notice that one guy edited. Thanks! I updated the list above.
 
Of the characters listed, I specifically would object to...

Tails- 32
Ashley- 30
Mii- 26
Mr. Stevenson- 20
Akari Hayami- 20
Viewtiful Joe- 15
Megaman X- 12
Ice Hockey Trio- 10
Neku- 10
Phoenix Wright- 8
Travis Touchdown- 6
Terra- 6
Skull Kid- 5
Rundas- 5
Daisy- 5
Mallow- 5
Doc Lewis
Sam & Max- 5
De Blob- 5
Sylux- 3
Roy- 2
Dr. Mario- 1
Waluigi- 1
Grey Fox- 1
Porky- 1
Black Knight- 1
Wolf- 1

It's a shame that more characters cannot be nominated - the options for new franchises are lacking. I mean, sure, 17's big, but it's not like all 17 franchises are necessarily going to be featured. What about Mole Mania? There's also many other franchises, like Rhythm Heaven, Daigasso! Band Brothers, Chibi-Robo!, EBA/Ouendan, Battleclash, Excitebike, Duck Hunt, Magical Vacation, Sheriff, Densetsu no Starfy (Come on, this is an obvious choice - he's had five games in the past two generations and was in Brawl), etc.

Dude, what are you talking about? Chibi-Robo has been on the nomination list since day one as has Starfy, the Laughing Dog, and Muddy was added a few days later, it's just that no one has voted for them. Clearly you have just been skimming the list to not notice them.

Seriously, you should vote and vote for characters that you are complaining about not seeing on the list instead of cying about who hasn't been voted for. Take charge!

That said, I don't know how you are not taking Stevenson and Skull Kid as victories...

1. I didn't skim, my memory of the full list is just foggy. Even still, the point of my post wasn't that they weren't being voted for, but that some characters aren't eligible, such as a Battleclash rep or a Rhythm Heaven rep, the latter which would be sexcellent.

2. Stevenson, I don't think is a particularly great retro rep. And Skull Kid is just plumb overrated.

Since your arguments were convincing enough, I made an exception and added Mike and Anubis from Battleclash along with the foot-tapping Samurai from Rhythm Heaven to the list. Now you guys better freaking vote for them, otherwise my exception would be for nothing.

Also, there is no character poll update today since NO ONE voted in the past 24 hours. :(

PLEASE PEOPLE, KICK START THE VOTING AGAIN.

Also, you may note on the next voting results list that I have actually changed my vote (which I also edited in my vote post on page 3). I took the five points I gave to Will and spread them across to four other characters. Now Will has 1 of my votes as do four other characters. My other 25 points, however, remain the same.

Transferring two points from Masked Man to Mike and Karate Man (he appeared in two games, while the Rhythm Samurai is only in one of them).
Done and done. ALSO, IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY VOTED, PLEASE VOTE ASAP, THE CUT OFF DEADLINE IS FRIDAY MORNING!
 
Add Mewtwo and kick Sakurai in the balls . . . >_>

Oh, and add some fucking Female characters/ Japan only Characters (Stafy!) to help push these series to the west like with Melee and FE.

I'm not sure what the thread is about, but put my 30 points into a flying/hovering Majora's Mask (ie final boss form), Mr. Resetti and, just for fun, Crashman. 15, 10 and 5 points respectively.

Nobody suggested Marina from Mischief Makers? I am shocked.

Wellp, here's my 30 points:

Isaac - 5
Mike Jones - 5
Crono - 10
Travis - 5
Missingno - 5

I had this whole plan of sitting back and watching things play out until just before the deadline so that I could either bring Sami up from the grave, kick Lyn even higher than she already is, or give an instant 30 to Lip.

But seeing Lloyd and Crashman pop up when I'm pretty sure they weren't listed before makes me wonder if nominations are still open. If they are, it's an instant no-brainer for me: 1 point for Falco, 1 for Kumatora, 1 for Lip, 1 for Lyn, 1 for Mega Man, 1 for Mona, 1 for R.O.B., 1 for Sami, and 22 for Colette Brunel (Tales of Symphonia).

do you require evidence of PMs? Otherwise I know a sure fire way to make sure Isaac takes his rightful spot at #1

Megaman that is all:)
I took that as 30 points for Megaman, that seems fairly clear.

Observations:

-New suggestions Lloyd, Marina and Colette have all taken high ranks and Pokemon gltich Missingno. is continuing to rise in the ranks as well.

-Mewtwo has become the most requested Melee character to make a return.


Alright everyone, just a reminder, this will be the last day for voting as it ends TOMORROW MORNING @ 12 AM CNT. Please, if you haven't already or know people that want to, vote as this is your only chance and all character who have not yet been voted for WILL BE CUT from the suggestion list and all suggestions will be closed.

Also, to john tv, sorry about that. I was only sending out all the pms because I really didn't want people to forget that this is the last day for voting. I tried to use pms as a sort of last minute PSA but clearly, we're aren't supposed to so I won't. Thank you for the heads up.

I just hope that the roster isn't determined by votes only.
What do you mean? This round has nothing to do with who is on the roster, this round just says which characters should remain on the suggestion list. Tomorrow morning @ 12 AM CNT, voting for the pre-lims ends.

As for the making of the final roster, voting is going to start tomorrow afternoon and I will make the announcement tomorrow morning after the final pre-lim tally of how exactly it is going to go down..
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who voted. It is officially Friday and pre-lim voting is closed. That said, here was the final result outcome of the prelim votes:

As you can see the final voting outcome was extremely interesting with Megaman taking the top spot while late-comer characters such as Lloyd and Colette along with "WTF" characters Missingno and Mii taking high ranks on the list. That said, voting turnout was fantastic and voting is now open for the final roster of 55!

HOW THIS ROUND'S VOTING WORKS:

The new suggestion list featuring, the cuts, all the characters who got votes as well as the seeds will be posted in the OP.

Voting is now open on the characters who survived the prelim and are still on the suggestion list. Everyone has now been given 40 points to spread across how they choose among the characters on the list and no one can vote using anything less than 5 of those points (aka no more 1 point votes). The goal, by the end of this round will be to make a final roster of 55 combatants that should be featured in SSB4. That roster will then become the official playable character list for "GAF Creates' version of SSB4"

The final roster will be based on which characters get the most votes so if there is a specific character that you want to see, use all your 40 votes and if there are a few, spread them out!

That said, here's the new suggestion list based on pre-lim voting (this is also in the OP):

So that's it! Get to voting and use your 40 points! Remember, NO MORE SUGGESTIONS ARE OPEN, YOU MUST VOTE FROM THIS LIST.

EDIT: I forgot my vote for this round! I'll start!
EDIT to the EDIT: I realized Neku is going to do just fine without my help so gave his 10 points to the Female/Rival PKMN Trainer.

Will- 10
Female/Rival Pokemon Trainer- 10
Missingno- 20

Neku Sakuraba, from The World Ends with You: 20 40
The Masked Man (

), from MOTHER 3: 5
Terra Branford, from Final Fantasy VI: 5
Travis Touchdown, from No More Heroes: 5
Saki Amamiya, from Sin and Punishment: 5


EDIT: Fixed according to the new rules.

EDIT2: Actually, fuck that, my boy Neku needs all the help he can get. The World Ends with You fans reek of FAILURE in this thread and I cannot trust in them.
 

Masked Man

I said wow
Midna (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess) + 5
Lucario (Pokémon Diamond / Pearl) + 5
Lucas (MOTHER 3) + 5
The Masked Man
Claus<333
(MOTHER 3) + 15
Saki Amamiya (Sin and Punishment) +5
Takamaru (Nazo no Murasamejou) + 5

* Anyone who hated on Stafy and Sukapon = evil. ;_;
* I was going to include Skull Kid / Majora, but I prefer Midna as a new Zelda addition.
* Mike Jones doesn't even need my support, nor does Mega Man.
* I almost voted for Neku, but I had to split my votes. ;_;
* I wish I could give more to my beloved Masked Man (<333), but I feel compelled to keep others alive. Everyone, vote for Masked Man! :D

EDIT: I absolutely adore Little Mac and I really, really want him in the next Smash, but I had to remove my vote for him since he certainly doesn't need my help at this point. :lol

I love you so much! :) I was hoping that someone would use their 40 points for Neku and that's why I only used 10 of mine on him.

Also, here is Azure Jericho's vote via his PM to me:

Keep us the votes people, we have one full week and then the final roster will be decided! Also, I think it goes without mentioning that I will post the updated Voting List each day for the next week just as I did with the last list.

I don't even like Neku as a character that much. I found Shiki and Beat to be more human, Joshua more interesting, and Minamimoto way funnier. I just want to smash it out someday to music like Ooparts, Emptiness and, Owaji-Hajimari, and Three Minutes Clapping. :(

Seriously people, The World Ends with You = best Square Enix soundtrack since Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles.

Joshua and Hanekoma = <333 (especially Joshua)

And I think I agree with your last statement, partly because I don't remember any solid S-E soundtracks between FF:CC and TWEWY, and partly because I adore the TWEWY soundtrack. :D

Oh my, someone actually voted for Lyndis (FE) :D

Add +40 with my points. I'd be really happy if that happened.

A brawler based on FE would be awesome... or if they included one of each class in SB.

You are so right, FFCC had some amazing music (especially the opening theme and the theme of the lizard people's lair). I'm honestly surprised no one suggested a Clavat or a Yuke back when suggestions were open.

Also, you forgot to list the two best songs in TWEWY: Calling and Twister.
Regulus Tera said:

You still better get used to him.
If they make a sequel, I can guarantee he will be in it after watching the hidden ending of TWEWY

Anyways, keep on voting people! This round's turnout is fantastic already! When I post the voting list tomorrow, I think a lot of people will be happy. :)
 
As promised, here is the voting list for this round so far:

Smash Bros. Voting List:

Neku- 50
Lyn- 50
Mike Jones- 50
Phoenix Wright- 40
Little Mac- 40
Ashley- 40
Missingno- 20
Ryu- 20
Lark- 20
The Masked Man- 20

Midna- 5
Saki- 5
Lucario- 5
Jill- 5
Mike (Battle Clash)- 5
Toon Link- 5
Tingle- 5
Samurai Goroh- 5
Karate Man- 5


Observations:

-Neku is currently the highest ranked 3rd party character with Phoenix Wright only 10 points behind him. (Honestly though, Megaman will soon overtake both, I am sure). And, within a matter of hours Mike Jones and Lyn jumped to the top of the list again.

-Lucas is the most requested returning character with 10 votes with Lucario and Toon Link behind them at 5 points.

Keep up the voting!
