Magikarp: 0%
Want: 1%
The five seconds of laughter would quickly form into a pit of despair.
Haruka Amami: 0%
Let's be honest, she'd 90% be the one chosen in the hypothetical world that any Idolm@ster character had the remotest chance of being in Smash Bros. Ai would get the other 10%, but Haruka...
Want: 10%
And she's far from my favourite. Even if we got Koume, Yayoi or Anzu though I would still not like the inclusion as they don't deserve the Smash treatment... the only Solace would be that this would basically force their hand into localising the Idolm@ster games (the real ones not the rhythm game spin-offs), which would be a dream come true! But the sanctity of Smash Bros is too high a price for that dream...
And I say that as a fan of the Idolm@ster games!
Shulking in the corner: 18.8%
I expect that we'll have >100% chance when we add AT and playable together.
Bandanna "still not god'damn" Dee "Confirmed": 1 quadrillion and 4 %
**** Bandanna Dee... not literally though, that'd be disgusting.
Dragon Quest*5
(Slime so slick of Puddle-Dee, that slime not even goo-ing to take his pre-drip-tion seriously! Take that goo Puddle-Dee slurp-orters!)
(On a serious note I realise Slime is a decently controversial character too, and has some fatigue related thanks to his 3 ratings, but you might have noticed I've stopped nominating him for a reason!)
Okay, the day's introduction is out of the way, so it's about time we have a little chat. Before I get to the elephant in the room, let me address something concerning the game's immediate future. For at least the next three days (and possibly up to a solid week, but definitely no more than that), I will be unable to update because I'm moving into college and starting my freshman year. I'll be able to visit here, but I won't have enough time to handle updates myself. @Brawler610 will be taking the reigns for a few days as I adjust, and I expect you to treat him with the highest respect.Please don't start too many arguments while he's sacrificing his time to run things, especially on Bandana Dee's day. Also, as Hades so gently warned you, this is not the leaks thread. You can talk about them in your ratings, but not even the slightest argument revolving around leaks will be tolerated.
You're starting college this year too? Awesome! I don't move in until next Wednesday.
Anyway, I'm just not gonna bother with the colors and stuff today.
Quadruple Zeroes.
We're not getting a playable Magikarp and we're not getting more than one third-party character per company, and there are more deserving Namco franchises, like Dig Dug and such.
5 more votes for Sonic 3DS Stage (Not Green Hill Zone).
I hope this gets picked soon, so I can try to start frantically nominating something else.
I want Magikarp more than Mewtwo, yes I said it. I got over him and I wouldn't care less if Mewtwo made it in Smash 4 or not. Magikarp on the other hand would be hype and cause a massive storm of butthurt. I could just imagine the salt at smash tournies when a Magikarp player makes it into grand finals.
Nominating... Now, while I was originally planning on nominating something, I'm going to refrain. There's 11 days left in the main game, and now any remaining Nominations will potentially be moot.
Idolm@aster Character
Chance & Want: Double Zeroes
We already have a Namco character in Smash; I doubt that we'll get another. Even if we did, I doubt that it would be a character from here and we would get someone like Klonoa for example.
As for want, I didn't know this existed until now.
Magikarp
Chance: 0%
Nuff said. Want: 100%
This video sums it up:
Shulk Assist Trophy Prediction: 6.10%
I was going to take Shulk's score and subtract it from 100 to get my prediction, but with all of these leaks going around, I assume that this will be low. Bandana Dee Prediction: 23.58%
I dunno. I'm feeling a slight increase here.
Idolm@aster Character Chance: .27% Want: 7.89% Wakka-Wakka-Wakka...
(Sorry, I have nothing clever here)
Magikarp Chance:.03% Want: 18.51%
Magikarp's source of pride should be the fact that it managed to tie with Scrooge McDuck, the Yarne & Owain Tag-Team, and Athena Cykes, but it got a higher want score than all of them. Still, it did a pretty pathetic Splash like it always does. Look at this puny fish! It's not like it's going to become a giant, awesome, powerful Pokemon! ...Right?
Today... oh dear. We have two controversial topics.
The future doesn't belong to you today, Shulk! You stupid little brat are being rated as a weak! Weak and pathetic Assist Trophy!
Also... oh dear. We are re-rating Bandana Dee. He needs no introduction, does he? Please rate Shulk as an Assist Trophy and Bandana Dee in both Chance and Want today! I AM WARNING EVERYONE RIGHT NOW. DO NOT CHALLENGE ANYONE'S BELIEFS TODAY ON BOTH THE LEAKS AND BANDANA DEE. KEEP THINGS CIVIL!
Tomorrow... ugh. I need some help. I'm feeling some Fevers and Chills lately... my head's on fire and I'm shaking like a leaf too! Thankfully, the worst doctor ever is back in town with a vengeance! He will be rated as both a separate character and as an alt. costume! Accompanying the doctor in white is the White Witch; Lana from Hyrule Warriors is coming in with her Book of Sorcery and is demanding to become a playable character! Please Predict how Dr. Mario as a playable character & an alternate costume and Lana will fair in tomorrows game!

I hate you guys for disrespecting my IdolM@ster girls.
Anyway
Shulk AT
Chance: 25% - I'm pretty sure he's in the game in some form, but I lean toward playable.
Want: 65% - I like him less and less each day, mainly because his shoe-in status and me having no connection has me lose hype.
Bandana Dee (Again??)
Chance: 30% - MK reveal helps him. Just like Mario, we get all the vets and then maybe a newcomer.
Want: 40% - I want Adeline more.
Shulk AT:
Chance: 00.01%- I don't see it happening. (YES I THINK SHULK IS A SHOE-IN.)
Want: 00.00%- I don't want it either.
Bandana Waddle Dee:
Chances: 33%- The pieces and potential for him are falling together... on the other hand, he'd be good for DLC!
Want: 100%- Second Most Wanted.
Bandana Dee: Chance: 25% Him and Galacta Knight would probably be next in line for the Kirby series. Though I don't think a new Kirby character is that likely.
Want: 100%.
Shulk as an assist trophy: 13% What a shock it would be if the developer retweets were because they're excited Shulk is in Smash Bros...as an assist trophy. Possible, but not much.
Want: 0%. I got into Xenoblade because of the possibility Shulk would join. Going to hate if he's not playable no matter what his consolation prize is.
Shulk AT:
Going with double 0s for this one. I'm convinced he's playable, and he didn't need any stinking leak to prove it.
Bandana Dee: Abstain
:|
Yeah anything I would say about this one would cause an argument
Bandana Dee: Chance: 25% Him and Galacta Knight would probably be next in line for the Kirby series. Though I don't think a new Kirby character is that likely.

Shulk as an Assist Trophy
Chance - 10% - I doubt it, but you never know.
Want - 0%. He's one of my most wanted newcomers and him being an assist would break my heart. Playable or bust.
Bandana Dee - 50% for both
Nominations
Fiora x 2
"Captain Falcon's theme" x 2
2nd Smash direct x 1
Chance : 0% : To me, Shulk is a big name. The hero of the game he stars in, and someone who is kind of a fan favorite. I don't expect him as an A.T. even if he doesn't make it as playable.
Want : 0% Not a big fan of Shulk, though I've reached a part in Xenoblade where he's less whiny and annoying and stupid and actually relies on others. While I would not mind him as a playable character, I wouldn't want him to reach Isaac's status.
Bandana Dee :
Chance : 15% : I'm keeping my hopes low, especially now that not many newcomers should be expected.
Want : 100% : I play him whenever I can. He would definitely surpass Kirby to me if he were playable.
Shulk AT
Chance: 25%, I think most everyone is overrating Shulk's chances. I think he's most likely playable, and he's guaranteed to be in, but he could very well end up as an AT.
Want: 50%, I don't care either way.
Bandana Dee
Chance: 5%, I doubt we're getting a Kirby newcomer.
Want: 30%, I don't really want Bandana Dee at all. It won't bother me that much if he gets in, though.
Haven't been on here for awhile, looks like this game will be ending soon with the incoming Japanese 3DS release!
Shulk as an AT:
Chance 0%
Want: 0%
I've been following the roster leak since it went live on 4chan and it has way too much going for it to be fake at this point IMO. Haven't played too much of Xenoblabe myself so I'm not particularity attached to the character.
Bandana Waddle Dee:
Abstain
Anything said that doesn't paint his chances in a positive light or is contrary to popular belief would lead to a fight or argument. I'm tired of debating this character TBH.
Bandana Dee:
I already explained why I stopped hating him, and why I see how he was considered a contender in his thread. However, just as I was about to finally give him a rating around 10%
That leak happened...
And, sorry, to everybody, but I kind of... almost... believe it...
I was 50/50 this morning, but w/ more proof, I'm leaning towards real. And those extra slots are probably the planned DLC (which I believe might be starter content on the Wii U version, and they will come out around the same time)
There could be DLC that wasn't pre-planned later, but that's not what we're rating.
Chance: 3.1%
A lot of my old arguments still stand.
Also, leak...
Want: 50%
He's aiight w/ me now
Don't really support... but I don't have any problem with him.
Shulk AT:
Chance: 0.1%
I thought Shulk had a 99% chance for, well, a long time.
When Gematsu was alive I ranked him at 99.9% even.
Now w/ that leak I rank him at 99.5%
If that 0.5% happens, I think we won't get any Xenoblade content, which just sounds weird, but there could be some reason we don't know (there isn't, just bringing up the 0.5% of doubt)
So if he's not in, I'd rank the AT at 20%
And 20% of 0.5% is 0.1%, right?
Want: 0.1%
If he's not in, yes, I want this. But the thing is, he IS in. So I don't.
Pre:
Huh... Cia and Lana split up even though they were the next highest? Eh, not gonna complain, now that people believe we have the full roster, rating a full day of characters with basically no chance would be annoying. I did put a lot of noms into getting them rated on the same day, but I understand. I just think that Cia should be put in as a lock for Friday-Saturday, isn't that what usually happens anyways?
Dr. Mario character: 40% (and a low want)
Dr. Mario alt: 60% (and a high want)
Yea... this leak won't make many budge.
Lana: 1.31%
A random guess. I have no idea.
I just hope her want is above 30%
x5 Dark Pit
(List I want to re-rate:
Dark Pit
Duck Hunt Dog
Bowser Jr
Ridley
K Rool
Dixie Kong
Isaac
Paper Mario)
Shulk AT:
Chance of Shulk being in (pre-leak): 90%
Chance of leak being true: 50%
Chance of Shulk with leak= 90% + 5% =95%
Chance of Xenoblade representation without Shulk playable: 33%
So 100%
-95%
=5%/3= 1.6% Chance
Want: 100%
I'd be happy to see him playable, but I've always thought AT was the best role for him. Then he can get promoted for ssb5!
Bandana Dee:
Chance: 8%
I'd give him a 16% pre-leak, but that needed to be halved as well.
Want: 70%
He'd be fun to play as.
Groose representationx5 (Thank goodness this won't be tainted by the leak.)
Also, why bother nominating all of the leak characters to the top? Why not just rate the leak being true?
Idolm@aster Character Chance: .27% Want: 7.89% Wakka-Wakka-Wakka...
(Sorry, I have nothing clever here)
Magikarp Chance:.03% Want: 18.51%
Magikarp's source of pride should be the fact that it managed to tie with Scrooge McDuck, the Yarne & Owain Tag-Team, and Athena Cykes, but it got a higher want score than all of them. Still, it did a pretty pathetic Splash like it always does. Look at this puny fish! It's not like it's going to become a giant, awesome, powerful Pokemon! ...Right?

Shulk AT
Chance: 10%
Let me tell you a story about a certain someone named "Issac". Issac was the protagonist of a Nintendo exclusive JRPG called "Golden Sun", and everyone loved it. Because of Golden Sun's high positive reception from both fans and critics, Issac became a popular candidate for Super Smash Bros Brawl. However, when the game released, much to everyone's dismay, he was nothing more than a mere Assist Trophy.
Replace Issac, Golden Sun and Super Smash Bros Brawl with Shulk, Xenoblade Chronicles Super Smash Bros 4, and you have an unlikely, but unfortunate outcome for our titular character.
Want: 0%
Normally I'm pretty neutral about Shulk, but if he does end up getting the AT axe, I won't enjoy it. He's one of the most popular characters on this forum, and a lot of people's most wanted character. Waluigi tears and Wonderful 101 tears were pretty good, but Shulk tears would taste incredibly salty to me.
Bandanna Dee
Chance: 50%
Bandanna Waddle Dee has since been established as a major Kirby character, thanks to his roles in Return to Dreamland, Triple Deluxe, and the upcoming Rainbow Curse, and he's definitely going to be pushed more by HAL in future installments. Greninja also proves that no character is too early as well, so sakurai might just pick up on the guy during his prime. However, something inside me doubts it, and it's partly due to his official name. Bandanna Waddle Dee is a real mouthful, and he is still technically called a Waddle Dee (just with a bandanna). Not to mention he's (arguably) nowhere near as iconic as the other Kirby characters. However, he definitely does have unique potential, and Kirby is popular enough for 4 characters, so who knows really. Anything can happen in Sakurai's world.
Want: 100%
7th most wanted newcomer, so yeah I'd be okay with him.
Shulk AT:
Chance: 20%
Want: 100%
No Xenoblade content in the game yet, and people boldly proclaim he is a shoe in!?! I would like him as an AT since it would mean that Riki could have a chance And as for the leak, I don't buy it, so I won't factor that into my ratings. Too fishy and too many things wrong with it.
Bandana Dee:
Chance: 30%
Want: 1000000000% (100%)
He would be the greatest character ever. And all of the Kirby veterans have been revealed, so thats a plus if you look at the fact that all of the Fire Emblem and Mario veterans were revealed before the Robin and Rosalina trailers.
(Still surprised that Magikarp and Idolmaster got over 0%)
Nominations: x5 Galacta Knight and Dark Meta Knight costumes (somebody please help me with this if you no longer care about what to nominate)
Predictions:
Dr. Mario Playable: 55%
Dr. Mario Alternate: 45%
Lana: 1%
I hope the comments on BD is not harsh.
Shulk AT:1%
Let's be honest, he is playable
Want: 0%
BD: 25%
I will admit: BD doesn't have much of a chance but he still have things going for him such as being unique and a rising star in the Kirby series. Still it depends if Sakurai wants a fourth Kirby rep as he is next in line.
Want: 100%
When I first saw a waddle Dee, I thought it was very cute and cuddly. When I found out that BD is playable in RTDL, I'm was very excited and would alway play him on the arena since I don't have a second Wii remote and he was so awesome, although I could never beat Galactia Knight. Point is I want to play as a cuddly badass beating up Bowser. It would be so great.
I'm tired of typing so abstaining on predictions and nominations.
Chance: 27.5%
If he's not playable, he's almost definitely an assist trophy. Anyone giving this concept a flat zero is being shortsighted, imo.
Want: 30%
I'd rather see him playable, but he's definitely deserving of an Assist Trophy spot if he's not.
Bandana Dee:
Chance: 30%
One of the more likely characters at this point...but still not more likely than not by any means.
Want: 30%
As time has gone on, I've become less and less interested in him.
Predictions:
Dr. Mario as his own Character: 7.16%
Dr. Mario Costume: 84.18%
Lana: .255% (Get it? Cause white's RGB value is 255 all around? ...Round it up to .26%)
I hate drawing comparisons between the two of them, as they really shouldn't be compared all that much, but I could see the same thing happening to him as it did to Isaac in Brawl.
And no, I don't care about the leak.
Want: 50%
Utterly indifferent. Never played Xenoblade.
BD chance: 60%
I think he has a good shot. He's been well established as a recurring character in the Kirby franchise, a series that is certainly big enough to have 4 representatives (5th largest Nintendo franchise, yes?), a franchise that was created by Sakurai, and he is the obvious choice for a 4th Kirby representative.
Want: 100%
I didn't have the slightest desire to have BD in the game until I joined these boards. But since then he's grown on me. I like the little guy, and I can rate him in my most wanted newcomers now.
Predictions:
Dr. Mario playable: 13%
Dr. Mario costume: 45%
Lana: .05%%
Noms:
4+ 3rd party characters x5 (x20! Thank you Magikarp :D )
Shulk has relevance, move set, fan demand, promotional appeal, some Twitter mentions between Sakurai and Monolith, what remaining legitimacy Gematsu might have, and this new leak as well.
Chances of him being playable seem pretty high. If he's not playable, well, then I think he's in the Little Mac position - putting him in as an AT would make a lot of sense and he'd have a chance of being promoted later...
Shulk AT chances: 4%
Shulk AT want: 20%
If he's not playable, then not including him as an AT would be an insult. But I'd rather he be playable.
Bandana Dee
Yeah, Meta Knight has been shown. But it's so late in the game that unless Bandana Dee is our next trailer, it makes no sense to reveal MK for that reason. And even then, why not just show MK in the same trailer?
BD still has the same problems I've thought before. He's not so unique as to be super appealing (he's fine, but he's no Robin or Rosalina), not that important, not from a particularly underrepresented series, not one of the most demanded characters, etc. Additionally, the new leak is... at least pretty convincing, and it doesn't really leave room for Bandana Dee. I don't believe it 100%, but it's over 50% at this point.
Bandana Dee chances: 2.5%
I think the leak does a bit of harm to him, and I wasn't giving him high scores in the first place.
Bandana Dee want: 0%
Would be more like 35%, but the Bandana Dee Army makes me really dislike the idea.
Predictions:
Dr Mario Playable - 58%
Dr Mario costume - 30%
Lana - 0.5%
Nominations:
Unknown Renders Leak being true x5 (don't really want to rate this before Saturday though... need some time to settle down)
Meanwhile, we just rated Ice Climbers at like 92% and out comes another leak saying they're cut right afterwards.
