On April 1, 2015, the website was updated to include a new section titled '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20150404035032/https://cp.nintendo.co.jp/us/ Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot]'''. The purpose of this ballot was for regular players outside of the development team to have an input on what characters should be released as DLC. Upon entering the sight, the voter is given four tasks. The first is to identify their gender - male or female - then the character, their game of origin, and a brief explanation as to why the character should be included. this final section has a 500 character limit. Once every section is filled out, the voter presses the large Confirm button, where the vote is submitted to a database. Their is no limit to the amount of times a single person can vote, though multiple votes from a single person being taken into account has never been confirmed. This ballot was live until October 3, 2015, where it was closed and removed from the website. All votes were then tallied and a winner was decided.

During the [[Final Video Presentation]] on December 15, 2015, it was revealed that {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} officially won the ballot. She was the #1 choice in Europe and in the top 5 in North America. She was also the #1 choice among "realizable and negotiable" characters, which was the real deciding factor. Bayonetta was released as the final ''Smash 4'' DLC fighter on February 3, 2016. The game was later datamined in June, 2018, and the dataminers discovered evidence that parameters for Bayonetta were added to the game as early as version 1.0.6 on April 15, 2015, only two weeks after the ballot went live, despite not actually releasing until nearly ten months later with version 1.1.5.<ref>[https://sourcegaming.info/2018/07/03/bayo106/ Bayonetta datamine]</ref> This information suggests that Bayonetta might have already been decided as a character before the ballot ended.
