:I hope the Ballot was rigged, because there's no way the Smash community would be so moronic to ask for another Anime Swordfighter, even thoguh they were supposedly sick of them. I can imagine the backlash Sakurai would have to face. That would be hilarious. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Numbuh1507|Numbuh1507]] ([[User talk:Numbuh1507|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Numbuh1507|contribs]]) 15:00, October 5, 2021 (EDT)</small> | :I hope the Ballot was rigged, because there's no way the Smash community would be so moronic to ask for another Anime Swordfighter, even thoguh they were supposedly sick of them.

::It should be mentioned ''who'' voted. The Source Gaming poll is overwhelmingly English speakers, whereas the Fighter Ballot probably had many more votes and from more places (i.e. not Europe or North America). Based on info on Wikipedia, Kingdom Hearts is more popular in Japan than in North America. It shouldn't be a surprise that a country filled with cartoons and mascots voted for a character from a game filled with cartoons and mascots backed by Disney, the king of cartoons and mascots. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 15:48, October 5, 2021 (EDT) | ::It should be mentioned ''who'' voted.

Before Cloud came, Sora didn't have a important support. Can we assume that voting Sora was equivalent to voting for a small candidate? Would you agree to gather other sources to confront in order to get the most likely conclusion? <small>—unsigned comment added by [[User:90.49.237.143|90.49.237.143]] ([[User talk:90.49.237.143|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/90.49.237.143|contribs]]) 19:24, October 5, 2021 (EDT)</small> | |||
