1. a Petition isn't going get him in
2. Smash Bros 4 is done, and we should wait until Smash Bros 5 (if/when ever that happens)
edited: also source or didnt happen for those results

How do you know Shovel Knight came 2nd in the ballot? Shovel Knight still hasn't got a Nintendo Japan release yet so it's missing a large portion of potential votes from them.

Mr. Sakurai and the rest of the development team are unlikely to have even played Shovel Knight. From the perspective of the Smash team, he is simply the main character of a foreign indie title that hasn't even been released yet. A more definitive argument against him is as follows:

Smash 4 is over. There will be no new characters announced.

Where did you get your ballot data BTW?

Keep in mind that was a worldwide (not regional) ballot and Shovel Knight is not even released in Japan. Also the petition will be a waste since they're done with dlc fighters for this game

I'm also curious about this ballot data, it seems to have some holes.

@Maxz: To be fair, Corrin is the main character of a foreign game that hasn't been released outside of Japan, and yet he got in.

Anyways, I doubt a petition is going to do anything. Remember the one to get Federation Force cancelled?

And have we heard anything of Federation Force since the petition?

And the game is made in Japan. You missed the point.

Anyway, my first choice was Shovel Knight as a DLC character, and I got my hopes up a little when the amiibo news came out, but as others have said the game is done with DLC after this next batch comes out.

Eh, he's probably one of those members who posts once and vanishes....sooooo....

That happens way too much on this site.

Yeah let's not advertise pointless petitions.
