Alright, this is the Probable Character Roster 3.0. It's been upgraded in multiple ways in that it now includeds a third party slot, a WTF list, links to most characters thread or Dojo page (just click the pic), and I've changed the text to make it easier to read and less wordy (this way people will actually read before the ZOMGs commence). Also I now have a color code for the central character proabability listings. I thank you all for your participation thus far and urge you to continue to come here for general character disccussion and debate. As always I urge all commentors to be corteous and not flame and if you have an idea or don't agree with something tell me so I can fix things. I thank all for coming and ask you to enjoy this thread
First before starting, I'd like to mention a few things. I might have some WTF characters above other seemingly more popular characters, please bare with me. In making this list, I followed a few rules posted below (remember no one expected Pokemon Trainer or Ice climbers , so we have to think Sakurai wise).
The Red rule: Sakurai isn't limited in anyway when it comes to inclusions of popular nintendo characters. Characters like Red, Tom Nook, and Sukapon may not seem like they would fit because of seemingly limiting factors in design characteristics and persona but if Sakurai wants them in, he'll do it.
The IC rule: Ice climbers, while not much into the popularity role, where put into brawl because of two things: Retro attributes and personal affect on Sakurai himself. Therefore certain seemingly non popular characters may get in because of this same reason. However this rule is rarely applied to a character and doesn't boost a characters role much higher.
The Japanese rule: Characters in Japan have a much lesser chance of being in brawl because their region limited appearance. this however may come out as opposite if the Japanese character may bring a possible marketing option in the future or the character has either vast popularity or significance.
The overpopulation rule: A certain franchise may not have an over excess of characters. Also lesser series may not have more characters than a bigger series.
Sakurai's modesty rule: Sakurai's a modest man (we all know that) so he may not represent his characters much like others. Also 3rd party characters are very unpredictable therefore and won't be on the main list (sorry).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for this version of the probability thread a color code is given for pics. It's pretty easy to understand
Blue=In
Royal Blue=Shoe-ins
Pale Green=Highly probable
Lime=Quite probable
Yellow=Decently probability
Orange=Slightly unprobability
Red=Unprobable
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright here we go (I'm not going to mention in excess, characters that have already been confirmed but may mention what they may mean for other characters)
1)
Mario = in
2)
Link = in
3)
Pikachu = in
4)
Kirby = in
5) Metaknight = in
At first this character might not seem to mean much, but for a Kirby fan who gets tired of modest Sakurai always downing his own series this character can always boost up your hopes.
6)
Pit = in
7)
Samus/Zamus = in
8)
Wario = in
9)
Fox = in
10) Snake = in
Snake is an awesome character and everyone should thank Hideo Kojima for begging him in. He is the reason for a certin other individual on this list.
11)
Zelda/Sheik = in
12)
Bowser = in
13)
Donkey Kong = in
14)
Yoshi = in
15)
Ike = in
16)
Pokemon Trainer = in
This character is pretty revolutionary to the world of smash and honestly brought up many charcters that probably would have been lower in this list. We thank you Red.
17)
Peach = in
18)
Diddy Kong = in
19)
Ice climbers = in
20)
Lucas = in
