It's stuff like this that makes me feel for Sakurai.
He works his ass off to make this content and probably made the concept of the Smash Ballot as a thank you to the fans who've enjoyed all of the past Smash Bros. games.
And the thanks that he gets are people like this who:
>force their beliefs and bias for a character (i.e. Shovel Knight over Shantae, Pichu, Ice Climbers, any cut veteran from Melee and Brawl over x, y, z character).
>Insult anyone else for even bringing up any third-party or a character from a pre-existing franchise, and or get sensitive or pissy in general for no reason at all, basically if they don't agree with their opinion.
These are only a few reasons why I don't enjoy talking about who should and shouldn't be in SSB4. It's always a touchy subject for the stupidest of reasons.
