The thing with this poll is really poor layout. The top 50 characters one the most persistent people do get rewarded yes, but the top 5 or ridley, k rool, little mac, palutena and toad (not in that order probably) so it shows that it's working.

I'm in agreement with Spydr here. I honestly see no point in a thread like this (or the top 50 character one), that allows extra optional multiple votes. It won't generate accurate results, it just encourages people to "spam" the same characters repeatedly to have them get the highest amount of votes. It only rewards the most persistent people. The best way of finding out character popularity on these forums is to vote on the poll Shortie made. You know, the one that got stickied and doesn't allow multiple votes? IIRC Takamaru is the retro with the most popularity.

I already posted something to this extent in the "top 50 characters" thread which has pretty much the exact same problem, and it got ignored like this one probably will as well, but I feel like I had to get this off my chest. :embarrass:

I really don't see the point in these kind of threads... :confused:
That is the main reason why I stopped. I was only voting for the same three characters without any change, the thread was going nowhere, and felt like a huge waste of time. Both this and the Top 50 aren't necessary.

Bub and Bob aren't retro. They still appear in games regularly.

The other one I assume you're joking about. Or at least, I hope you're joking about.

Exactly. Especially if they aren't going to be monitored or maintained.

Argh! I need to remember that Bub and Bob still get their own games!
No! Mrs. game and watch is a major competitor for a spot! :troll:
