Though I want Shantae especially, I’ve noticed certain people who have never played her games vote for her and are just voting based on superficial standards. Additionally there are some "exposed factors" about the character that I personally think isn't a good argument, but there are strong cases about the issue suh as the whole Tharja trophy thing.

 

Snake alone validates all characters, from any game. He was there. Bayonetta can do her hair specials. Or Chris Redfield can blow a zombie up.

That isn't really the point I was making. Even if the majority of people agree with your statement, not every character is making it to the game, and Sakurai, as well as a handful of people at best, are the ones running the Smash Ballot. If the Ridley situation proved anything, not every character is a valid character for the game. That is pretty much wishful thinking. Snake was really an exception under special circumstances, which doesn't nececessitate allowing rated R stunts of Chris of Redfield in an E10 game when Tharja's trophy even had to be kicked. Not saying certain votes are autmatically invalidated, but there should be at least some reognition that there are high hurdles for certain characters.
