GameInformer votes for characters.

• Bayonetta
• Waluigi
• Toad
• Shovel Knight
• Kamek
• Young Link
• Knuckles
• Elincia
• Wolf
• Simon Belmont

Not exactly liking this list. There's only 2 (bayo + wolf) I would agree with and there is a severe lack of certain fan favorite characters...

(e.g, King K Rool, Bandana Dee, Rayman ect.)

There is a difference between Masked Link and Young Link, by the way.

Honestly I don't know why people are voting for characters like kamek and Waluigi because they are already in the game but just not as characters. I don't think Sakurai wants to include characters already in the game.

"When Waluigi joins the fight, Alphonso takes over the Assist Trophy duties. Alphonso: "Leave it to Waaaa!"

I wonder if this guy will get involved: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCI9d6eQjf__r5gyH4GHRssg
Maybe he'll make arts for fan favorites to try and help push them for the Smash Ballot? His Shovel Knight, Rayman, and Klonoa smash style pics are amazingly good.

It is a good list, but then i think every list that doesn't have Snake on it is good

Waluigi would be such a waste.

I'm glad they voted for Bayonetta, though.

I really want banjo and Kazooie as one character... With their roll, beak charge, egg projectiles, sprints, punching, flying, jump/movement animations etc, their moveset/animations would be perfect for this game.

Also, I love them and Phil Spencer says he's cool with it.

Otherwise, I wouldn't mind Simon Belmont. :)

Happy to see Bayonetta on there.

Could be how Shovel Knight got many votes from Reddit people.  I hope he makes more characters soon. 

Lol Toad... Wtf
