Nominations
WayForward rep x3
Lucas (Mother 3) x2

 

[Kenith]

You Will Know Our Names:

Chance: 75%. I guess it's likely, seeing as it's a fairly popular song from a character I'm pretty sure is completely in this game. Shulk's success and inclusion stems from his popularity almost entirely, so it makes sense that he would come with popular tracks from his game. Though it's a tough call when it comes to music, so honestly rating two songs a day seems like a waste.

Want: 95%.

Me five minutes ago: "So this is that song everybody wants for Smash 4 for Shulk. Well, let's see if it's any goo-OH MY GOD IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR MUSIC TO BE THIS RADICAAAAAAL".

In the Final:

Chance: Abstain. Unlike the other song we're rating, there's just no way to predict whether or not this song will be included. Mario RPGs get next to no representation in Smash, and what we do get is somewhat random, so there's no way to tell.

Want: 50%. I'm indifferent, it just doesn't stand out that much to me.

------ Nominations:

Jill Valentine x5

 

[Autumn ♫]

You Will Know Our Names
Chance:80%
If Shulk's in the game, then this song is too.

Want:90%
One of my favorite Xenoblade music. My favorite is One Who Gets in Our Way

In the Final
Chance:35%
Mario RPG's generally don't get much representation in Smash, but this could be one of the few that makes it

Want:55%
I'd like to see it in there, but I wouldn't be disappointed if it wasn't.

 

[NickerBocker]

Chance: 85%

Pretty awesome song. Its very likely to be in if Shulk is in. No Shulk, no epic song.

In the Final
Chance: 20%
Want: 50%

Hard to call. Im unsure if the Mario RPGs will get any representation, and even so, will the song be included over other potential enemies, ATs, items, etc.? Again, hard to say.

Shepard: 0.15%
Unrevealed unlockable veteran: 99.11%

[DaUsername]

You Will Know Our Names
Chance: 90% - Because it's the only Xenoblade song that anyone ever talks about.
Want: 100% - Cool Song.

In The Final
Chance: 60% - If we get any M&L song, it'll probably be this one.
Want: 1000% 100% - Best Song.

Predictions

Unlockable Unrevealed Veteran: 98.5%

Nominations: Crash Bandicoot x5

 

[cephalopod17]

You Will Know Our Names

Chance: 85%
Shulk is very likely thanks to Gematsu, and this song is one of the most popular Xenoblade songs.

Want: 100%

In The Final

Chance: 15%
The Mario RPG games do not get much Smash representation, which is a shame becuase both Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi are good. This song is also really good, but I think if a song from Mario & Luigi got in, it would be from Dream Team. It's still possible though.

[jigglover]

Abstain from voting both of these unfortunately... I haven't heard either of them. Even if I looked them up on YouTube now, it wouldn't be the same as experiencing them in-game...

Do I still get nominations though? If I do... 5x Agitha, once again.

 

[Deleted member]

These nominations need more...Lucas

 

[Groose]

@ Groose The Nomination list says Olimar Alternate Cutscene, which I'm pretty sure is a typo, unless I'm missing something here...

I thought you were talking about Olimar getting replaced in all of the cutscenes by another Captain.

...nah, just kidding. It's a typo. Let me fix it.

Sacred Grounds stage (Legend of Zelda Sacred Sword) x 5

Are you referring to the Sealed Grounds from Skyward Sword?

'YOU WILL KNOW OUR NAMES": 95% chance and 100% want
Shulk is my third-most wanted newcomer. A big reason that I want him? The incredible music of Xenoblade. Although I personally prefer "Engage the Enemy," "Xanthe" and "Unfinished Battle" (check them out if you were unfamiliar with Xenoblade music before today and liked "You Will Know Our Names" @ Kenith ), this is still an excellent, hype-inducing song. Hearing it is enough to strike fear into my heart. As for chance? 90% chance Shulk makes it in, 4% chance we get a Xenoblade stage without him, and 1% chance that this ends up on some random stage without any other Xenoblade influence.

"IN THE FINAL": 10% chance and 100% want
Xenoblade music is awesome. Yet "In the Final" rivals even the greatest track from Xenoblade, and I'd be absolutely thrilled to see it make the cut. However, I don't think it will; Mario and Luigi songs were rather scarce in Brawl (we only got "Gritzy Desert"), and Dream Team is the newer deal. I think that "Adventure's End" is more likely than "In the Final," which is a bit disappointing, as I much prefer "In the Final." Neither can hold a candle to "Final Princess Shroob," which is my favorite final boss theme of all time.

Punch Bowl x5
BASHMASTER. 'nuff said.

Mechon! It's not over. The people of Bionis will never let you triumph. YOU WILL KNOW THE PAIN AND SUFFERING YOU CAUSED *spoiler* AND *spoiler*. Yeah, if you don't what three words I hid in the spoiler, go and play Xenoblade. Or at least watch Chugga's LP of it. Trust Groose on this one. You'll understand why this got such a high score.

"In the Final"
29.39% chance
75.18% want
Although it didn't quite defeat "You Will Know Our Names," the final battle theme from Bowser's Inside Story did great in the want department. You know what? That's another game you should go play. That's your homework. Class dismissed.

Poor, poor Snake. It must be difficult on you with all of these people saying that you're not a Nintendo character. Well, at least you're not Commander Shepard, right? He's up today, and I just know pretty much everyone is going to use the fact that he's owned by EA against him. In addition to the protagonist of Mass Effect, we also will be rating the concept "Unrevealed, Unlockable Veteran;" can such a thing exist?

Tomorrow? Agitha the Bug Princess and a Rhythm Heaven character other than the Chorus Kids. Predict away.​

 

[Gunla]

Commander Shepard: My Brand!
Chance and Want: 00.00%- Not interested. Never played ME.

Unrevealed, Unlockable Veteran: You mean Captain Falcon?

[AustarusIV]

Commander Shepard

Chance: 0.000000000....to infinity.

And here I thought Lupus, Ooccoo, and Goku were the least likely candidates for this game. I'll have to sum it up in three good reasons why we'll never see Mass Effect in Smash: 1. EA hates Nintendo, 2. The Mass Effect series has done poorly in Japan, 3. Only one game in the series has been released on a Nintendo system, and it was a port to a game that had already been in stores for a long time.

Want: 0%

Never played Mass Effect. The only Bioware games that I've played are KOTOR and The Old Republic.

Unrevealed, Unlockable Veteran

Chance: 100%

We've had these in every game so far (except 64)! Of course we're going to see it again!

Want: 100%

I've always loved this feature.

 

[Deleted member]

Abstaining from Shepherd. I have never played Mass Effect.

Veteran Thing:
Chance - 100%: There is no way this isn't going to happen. It happens all the time. Why would this game be any different? This time, you'll be unlocking vets in HD!

Want - 100%: Unlocking characters is so much fun, except when Subspace is involved. Then it's too easy. With story mode deconfirmed, my want score will skyrocket.

Nomination:
Lucas (The Wizard) - X5 (Am I doing this right?)

Playable Vets That Have Not Yet Been and/or Won't Be Revealed Pre-Release Due To Being Unlockable:
Chance: 99.99% - Considering every Smash game since Melee has done so, it's bound to happen again.
Want: 100% - The hype I felt where, after worrying myself over the thought of cut being cut from Brawl stemming from Lucas's page, only for not just the first reveal but the VERY NEXT UPDATE after the day that said the Dojo would cover secret content was Ness, my favorite/best character? ****ing blew my mind into a trillion little pieces. I want that again.

You Will Know Our Names got a higher want than Shulk? I... kinda expected that to be honest.

Commander Shepard and Unrevealed, Unlockable Veteran have been added to the Directory.

I never played any of the Mass Effect games. Even if I did, I want EA scum away from Smash Bros. period.

I doubt that Sakurai would reveal everything before the game is released. Smash is known to have some unlockable stuff.

Honestly, I want the whole roster available from the start.

Agitha Prediction: 1.24%
Hyrule Warriors will somewhat improve her scores...
Rhythm Heaven Rep (no Chorus Men) Prediction: 5.39%
I doubt that we will get anyone that aren't the Chorus Men.

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

The comander

Abstain for both.


Unrevealed veteran

Chance: ITS OVER 9000 PERCENT.

Ha theres way too many veterans that have ben unlockable still not revealed,

I will eat my pants if he reveals everyone before release and also saids no more unlockable characters. (By the way i think the 3 sal characters will not be shown till after release thats why i think ridley qualifys of being shown in august, for a special case.)

Want 100%

Yes even though a leak simular to the one before brawl was just released in japan will reveal the roster eventually it will still count as unrevealed till the trailers are shown.

 

[UnicornDemon]

Commander Shepherd- 0%
Want- 10%, Never played Mass Effect, but I like Bioware as a company for Dragon Age: Origins and the upcoming Inquisition, so I would be moderately happy to see them supported by Smash.

Mass Effect is fun, I like the series. But Shepherd in Smash is.... wow. He wouldn't fit, he's not iconic, EA hates Nintendo, the series has practically zero history with Nintendo. Why are we rating this, it's gunna get awful chance and want, whoever nominated this is wasting our time. I don't like being so negative, but this is pretty much on par with nominating Goku...

Unrevealed, Unlockable Veterans
Chance: 100%
Want: 50%
If I remember correctly, this has happened in every game. They aren't going to show off EVER veteran before the game comes out, and characters like Ness and Captain Falcon, who have been unlockable and secret in every game will likely keep that same role. Personally, I think characters with such a long standing role in the series should be unlocked at the start, but I can't mess with tradition.

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Oh hellz yeah!

I just found this by searching my name.

Likeliness: 0%
We have our 3rd party characters. Plus, EA and Bioware both collectively hate Nintendo and while Mass Effect 3 was on the Wii U, both the PS3 and 360 got the Mass Effect Triology Edition at the same time while the Wii U only got Mass Effect 3. It was a very stupid move and, to this day, I have no idea why they did not give Wii U the Trilogy Edition. It was like "Buy the Wii U version of Mass Effect 3.....or buy the Trilogy version for the PS3 despite both bveing the same price...."

Anyways, Shep ain't happening.

Want: 100%
All of my wants. Shepard could be a fantastic fighter that could either incorporate any number of the weapons that appear in the games. The character also has access to various abilities that can either be incorporated into a transformation-esque gimmick, include them into hsi or her custom move sets, or just combine them. Shep can create powerful shockwaves, set his ammo on fire or freeze it, hack into synthetic enemies, create turrets and combat drones, activate tech armor, toss opponents into the air by using spac emagic, etc etc. Plus, a Final Smash utilizing the entire squad of the Mass Effect games (ala Mega Man) would be fangasmastic. Plus, Shepard could easily have an amazing customizable outfit feature by adding various armor pieces such as the Terminus and Collector Armor plus obviously allowing Shep both male and female genders.

As well, Smash Bros. would be a great way to represent the Mass Effect universe. It is such a vast story with such engaging and amazing worlds. And Reapers, Husks, and Geth on Smash Run would be....amazing.

Woo that support thread saved me from having to find three random and probably unfitting selections of music from his series. It would probably all be from one game and follow my usual unknown character pattern of character's theme (if available, if not a random theme that sounds cool) + main/title theme + final boss theme.

That's your homework. Class dismissed.​

So no homework for me then! I'm currently playing Xenoblade, and I've beaten Bowser's Inside Story already.

 

[colder_than_ice]

Shepard
Chance: 0% - Mass Effect is so obscure in Japan that I don't think Sakurai even knows about it. The series has had almost no representation on Nintendo consoles aside from a very late Wii U port. It also doesn't help that EA is probably one of the last companies that Sakurai would turn to for a third party.
Want: 100% - He/She has my absolute support regardless.

The extra nominations post has been updated.

Congratulations to @ a smart guy for becoming only the second person to earn the extra nominations for both of the previous day's predictions!

Posting ratings now because today's are pretty easy.

Commander Shepard: Double Zeroes - No.

Unrevealed Unlockable Veterans: 99% - I don't see why they'd remove them.
Want: 100% - I like having unlockables.

Agitha prediction: 1.28%
RH not Chrous Kids prediction: 7.19%

Brain Age Stage x5

 

[Tikivoy]

Commander Shepard:
Chance: 70% There's the possibility of him being a last minute shoe-in because of EA's recent buyout of Nintendo.




In all seriousness, 0%. Sakurai is a good man.

Want: 0% No thanks, I barely touched Battle Royale the day they added in EA Clark into the game. Nothing against Shepard, but I hate mostly anything that reminds me of EA in my non-EA games.

Unlockable Unrevealed Veterans:
Chance: 99%. At the pace Sakurai is going with vet reveals, I don't think he's going to reveal every vet before the 3DS version's launch. The only real possibility is if there's another Smash Bros Direct before then, he goes crazy in the August Direct, or he reveals them all the day before launch day, which I highly (As in, 1% chance) doubt will happen.
Want: 100% I love unlockables, having 40+ characters at the start of the game is way too overwhelming at the start, and I want to be surprised when I play it in September. Plus too many fighters have done away with unlockables to a disappointing level.

Nomination:
"The Won-Stopable Wonderful 100" x5.
Its a music track. Since it could happen.

 

[CheeseBroJoe]

Commander Shepard: Abstain.
I haven't played mass effect save for a demo version so my opinion is rather irrelevant though I do think the likelihood of him ever being a rep is extremely close to zero.

Unrevealed unlockable veterans?
110%(100%)
There's no way this is not happening.

How do nominations work? I'd like to nominate both the song Don't Speak Her Name from FE: Awakening, and a stage based on Satorl Marsh at night from Xenoblade Chronicles.

@ Groose
I'll be leaving to China tomorrow and I doubt I'll be here.
So here are my ratings for tomorrow c:
(have to do this for Agitha)
Agitha:
Chance: 0.3%
I originally thought she had a 0% chance, but @ J jigglover made some decent cases n her favor, and I do think she is slightly above 0. Still, I think it would be weird for a Twilight Princess character that's not Midna or Zant to make it.
Want: 100%
Yep, 100. And I'm not just jumping on some bandwagon because she's in HW, I've actually really liked Agitha for a long time. HW only proved to me that she'd make an interesting character. My fingers are crossed for her as DLC, which is still unlikely but far less close to impossible.
RH not CM:
Chance: 0.1%
I believe the leak is real, therefore this would mean 2 RH characters and I seriously doubt that
Want: 5%
Chorus Men or bust
Hah. I can't believe I just said that.
Oh well, nom time.

It would be fun to see this happen again. I hope Mr. Sakurai has an I Am Legend-style home security system to fend off the rabid fanboys who'll inevitably jump to conclusions about their favorite character getting cut. Oh the agony.

Want: 100%
I want to feel like there's something to unlock that I haven't experienced before, even if it's a sad illusion. Hopefully, classic mode will be the primary way of getting these characters along with the secret newcomers. On an unrelated topic, I want to see giant metal Donkey Kong as a classic mode challenge, AND... I want his obnoxious DK rap to be blaring in the background.
