I have been waiting for this day to come let's get this party started
Dark Pit
Chance: 0%
Ok I think that this might be a controversial score but here are my reasons.
Palutena's quote "here to crash my party" obviously is a hind towards Dark Pit inclusion? No not really a similar quote was used in Chapter 1 The Return of Palutena and In the anime shot Medusa's Revenge, both times said by Medusa to Pit, in this case the trailer makes a pun on this having a Dark angel to "crash Palutena's party"
"Dark Pit's appearance obviously makes him more likely" people forget about Tom Nook appearing in Villager's trailer and nothing happened, the same with Doc Louis in Little Mac trailer
"But Dark Pit also appears in Palutena's official artwork", also Isabelle in Villager's and she is not playable either
"But Dark Pit wasn't present in the Pallete Swaps in the demo" neither was Frame Mac and other classic colors like White Kirby so this hold little evidence.
In other words I don't think this is a hint toward Dark Pit being playable,
Has Sakurai in the past spoiled a NEWCOMER this directly? I am certain he hasn't.
Want: 0%
I can see him having a different moveset based on the other weapons Pit don't use, but in game rankings there are characters more appealing and more important to the franchise like Medusa, Hades and Viridi.
Dark Pit might get a different movepool but design wise he is the same as Pit, why put him in when you can add more variety to the game.
Why use Dark Pit as precedent to include dark character variants? the next think we would get are, Shadow Mario, Cosmic Mario, Dark Link and Dark Samus, some of these indeed have different qualities and different personalities, yet the more diverse the roster both in moves and in design the better, including basically a recolor as a separate character seems lazy.
Medusa
Chance: 7%
She deserves a 3rd spot for KI being the first main antagonist, she would complete the protagonist, the ally and the antagonist circle like with Link, Zelda and Ganondorf or Mario, Peach and Bowser.
She might compite with Hades who is considered more powerful and more relevant to Uprising but Medusa still beat him in the seniority department.
Want: 20%
As per the character, I like Viridi, Hades and even Amazon Pandora as gods more than her, but her status and significance to the franchise can't be ignored that easily. So I am ok with her inclusion
Pyrrhon
Chance: 6%
This is funny I don't see Pyrrhon happening in like 10 games.
Want: 6%
He is funny, I will give him that
So if Kid Icarus is going to get new characters it's going to be like this
Medusa, Viridi, Hades, Phosphora, Amazon Pandora, Dynthos, Arlon, Magnus, Gragalanche, Pyrrhon, Thanatos, Chariot Master, Girl, Centurion Strongarm, Eggplant Wizzard, Souflee, Dark Pit, Poseidon, Monoeye.
I don't hate Dark Pit, I just don't like the idea of getting basically a recolor as a separate character
