Banjo/Banjo and Kazooie: Chance: 15% I think they have a good chance to be chosen over other options if they're going to Microsoft. However, I'm not convinced we'll get anything from what Microsoft owns just because the two companies are cordial. Still, they do have the long time international...

Blue Snufkin (I'm not sure why I thought that) Geno Chance: 10% Is it possible that Nintendo presented Sakurai with the chance to put in Geno? I think yes, as the possibility that Nintendo is concerned with fan request may exist. Still, if he wasn't a long time notable fan request he'd have...

(Bandanna) Waddle Dee: Chance: 25% The good news is, Sakurai isn't choosing DLC so chances are better than normal. The bad news is, Sakurai still has veto power, which is important because he might veer away from more Kirby characters since World of Light is Kirby fanservice. Oh, and we don't...

Dixie Kong Chance: 40% She seems to be one of the more likely Nintendo picks from what's possible and has been fairly requested over time. Unfortunately her biggest obstacle is K. Rool getting in the game without her, so it's questionable that the Smash team would go back to DKC for DLC (though...

Edelgard von Hresvelgr Chance: 20% I don't have a good read on if they'd try to push it or if the timing was right for when the DLC options were presented to Sakurai. I suppose it's possible, but it's somewhat difficult considering the game will just be releasing next year. Also, the game has...

Melted golem thing Chance 0% After blind-betting on Incineroar, I don't think even Masuda/TPC would have the gumption to gamble on an unproven Pokemon twice in the same game. Plus, there's already three returning Pokemon this time, so they might not want to put in another Pokemon. The fact that...

Predictions on if Wave 2 will happen: it would take an expansion pack to Smash itself if they were going that far, as Nintendo probably wants to keep post-launch development resources on Smash at a manageable level otherwise. There might be a non-fighter pass DLC or two after it's done. If it...

Most hype: The Belmonts. :ultrichter::ultsimon: Despite the fact that my only requested newcomer that made it in was Inkling:ultinkling:, and that K. Rool:ultkrool: has me excited to play a heavyweight, the Belmonts just look so fun and strong and true to form. I'm also looking forward to new...

ZeRo's looking at who seems good based on footage, which is fine, but I do wonder how well predictions from before the game release will hold up.

Newcomer opinion train thing, take 1: :ultpiranha: 1/10: I can't get excited for this thing. :ultdarksamus: 5/10 : In theory I should like Dark Samus, but I kind of want it to have more pronounced differences from Samus. But it looks cool. :ultincineroar: 5/10: Neutral. It looks a oddly a bit...

Most hype: Probably the initial reveal, as I like the Inklings and I was also excited to see how Link would turn out. Plus, new Smash game! Runner up goes to Richter coming out of nowhere. Least hype: When Sakurai said not to expect too many new fighters. That put a damper on everything and on...

Ken: 95% I didn't ask for him but I'm glad he's here. Ken's a cool guy and he looks good here, too. My only problem is that he seems to be a better Ryu. Incineroar: 48% ? Alola and Sun/Moon is one of my favorites but I had a lot of other Pokemon I wanted to see. I don't hate it (and I probably...

I , too, feel like Piranha Plant wasn't the best of ideas, maybe a slap in the face. Of all the things they could have spent their time developing, they spend it on an unrequested Mario character over anything people asked for. Now I understand they wanted something aside from fan requests, and...

Meanwhile, Rex is trending in Japan because they REALLY wanted him in the game (or Rex + Pyra)

Terry Bogard Chance: 8% (base game) Terry Bogard is one of the most well known of SNK's representatives, along with Geese and Mai, Kyo and Iori, Haohmaru and Nakoruru, Marco and Fio, Athena, etc. He's possibly the most well known, as well as being popular and a stand-out, which is why he might...
