what/why/how the hell chorus men?! nobody EVER heard about them. it came out of nowhere this idea that they will appear in SSB, i tried to search something about them and i ended up only found this: speculations about them being on SSB and gay men's chorus videos on youtube

lol, how many times have we heard that before :P

They are very popular in japan http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=rhythm+heaven&publisher=&platform=&genre=&minSales=0&results=200

750k on wii and the ds game had almost 2mil in japan O.o

just because of this? it makes more sense to put tetris and pong as playable fighters

Tht makes perfect sense. Your 2 examples are flat out wrong. Dunno why you said that but ok? Chorus Men are popular in japan,that is a fact. I understand your Not wanting of them in the game, but the game appeals toall audiences with Nintendo Allstars. Chorus Men fit as they represent the Rhytym Heaven Franchise. I heard the same arguements with Marth/Roy back in Melee as nobody here as ever heard of them lol

i have any problems with them being in smash, if they ended up being assist trophy it will be allright. they just don't have the fight perfil(like roy and marth) and they are not very popular. WFT, ROB and G&W are way more popular than this and the fight perfil of them are more plausible than chorus men. like... what they do? they just stand there and sing.

2 problems with this... First is there are already some characters in the game that were less popular than Chorus Men. Ice Climbers at the time of Melee was one of them, another could be Roy from the game as he wasnt even out yet. Chorus Men are popular in japan, there aren't that many games that sell 1mil in japan (less than 120) , and Rhytym Heaven is a game that sold about 2mil there (in the past 10 years only about 20 games have surpassed 2mil in japan). They have a fanbase with the Japanese. Like how we have a fanbase in the West for Little Mac.

Second thing which is the big one, This Is Sakurai!!! The excuse of Chorus Men cant be in a fighting game gets thrown out of the window my friend. Why? Well almost 50% or even more of the roster was in the same predicament. Many of them had almost no way of bringing a moveset to the character yet Sakurai did the impossible...

How can you forget....

Fox/Captain Falcon? Pilot+Racer with no type of combat yet sakurai made it possible with unique styles!

Need more :P

R.O.B + Mr Game and Watch + Pacman + Villager + Mii Fighters + Wii Fit Trainer + Rosalina all had moves completely made up, yet they all fit so well.

Me personally would rather have somebody else before them, but i kno they qualify for SSB. Wii Fit Trainer was a WTF character, yet now everybody (at least most) accepted her and ironically she's now very popular :0

doesn't matter, chorus men are just three outlined characters from a minigame from a videogame that just made a moderate success in japan and they just sing. you can't even compare this with game & watch, but like you said, it's a sakurai game he can do this, i don't know why i even arguing. i will just find ridiculous if he put them in as fighter and leave other from previous smash out

How many Smash characters are less popular outside their franchise than Ice Climbers?  Maybe ROB but that's it.  And Ice Climbers was a shitty game anyway.

Hm, well there is a chance that Kirby will get 4 reps. Kirby's a pretty large nintendo franchise and Bandana Dee has been getting a lot of recent attention in the latest games including the upcoming Kirby Rainbow Curse game. Also a spear user would be a great addition for Smash. 

I think MK is definetly making it back, probably nerfed hard though. And yeah, Chorus Men seem like an interesting choice especially since it's three characters. I'm curious to see how they would work.
