Popular Newcomer Candidates as in all the characters that are popular like Isaac, Chrom, Robin, Waddle Dee, Toon Zelda all the newcomers that are usually in lots of prediction rosters in Smashboards.
I'd define the "upper echelon" of
popular characters here to be Ridley, K. Rool, Palutena, Isaac, Shulk, Waddle Dee, Robin, Takamaru and Dixie. I suppose you could throw Chrom on there as well, but he has a pretty sizable hate base here and many people view him as likely, but not wanted (like Miis and Pac-Man).
I think that this will be our first concept to fall short of a 1% chance, but I also think it will rise above a 90% want.
I also have a slight chance reserved for Banjo and Kazooie, but only slight. I don't entirely believe the theory that they're getting bought out by Nintendo, but it is true Nintendo need some kind of power play to get noticed, and that Rare have stopped working on Killer Instinct and only have one Xbox game in the pipeline... it lines up with the last buy out... actually I'm convincing myself of the possibility (if not likelihood) now I'm gonna have to raise the chance a bit more (it was 56% at the first time of writing).
Ofcourse this is just characters, if we're talking Concepts then Fatal Frame music, playable boss mode and Pokémon AT all have enough of a shot to raise it by... I dunno, another 10% or so?
1) We're only including characters today, so I'll disregard that second percentage.
2) Rare going back to Nintendo? Don't... tempt me Chezey! That's a cruel April Fool's Joke, indeed.
I'm back from my stag, and dammit I missed out on the RTC being an AT after I was the one who suggested the concept in the first place.
Welcome back! Sorry you missed your day in the spotlight, but--please understand--sometime those things happen. If you ever think you're going to miss something in the future, let me know, and I'll hold the day off for you.
We should at the end of the week vote Best post, and the user gets 5 noms?
That's all I got.
I'd be game for this, but how would it work? First and foremost, who'd want to run that part of the game? Secondly, would a single person judge it or would it be a group vote? Answer me this and we could go through with it.
Groose will get them all with his Ace Attorney posts.
Sadly, a computer change has robbed most of my ability to do them. I still can, but not in an hour like I used to.
Because I was lurking around this thread for a little while it is only logical to write my very first post in here!.
Isabelle: Chance 3%, I don't know if we get a second AC character in this smash edition ( I think smash 5 would be more logical) and I think that Tom Nook is more deserving if you look at the franchise as a whole, but Isabelle makes for a good dark horse contender with MR Resetti and KK Rider among others for the second rep ( if we get one) .
Want: 5% I Think that I would want other franchises to get some more characters and some new franchises to get into smash before I want a second AC character, Villager is a good embodiment for what AC stands for, Maybe in smash 5 .
<10%
Chance: 25%
First I should take a look at the list...there are some reasonable characters on there. namely Andy from advance wars and wonder red as the big front runner of their respective franchise and some fan favourites like meowth ( mostly from the anime) toad ( which probably wouldn't make it ) and Vaati hmm I think I will give it
25% because Sakurai has surprised us before and these characters aren't that farfetched to make it either, of course for every toad there is a scrooge mcduck so uhm not every character would be plausible.
want: 80%
Some really deserve to be in smash in my opinion namely the few I named in the chance part but others... not so much ( looking at you omastar haha) SO if lets say Andy makes it I am more than happy

Welcome to the game and Smashboards in general! It's always an honor when this game actually helps inspire someone to sign up. I see you've pretty much mastered how to play this game; if you need any advice on Smashboards in general, don't hesitate to send me a message.
How about a Rate the chance you'd cosplay the character rating?

That's a no to that idea, though.

Isabelle: 0.01%
1) Villager is using his pre-New Leaf design. That signifies to me that they designed the characters before New Leaf took things over; although she has become the series' star post-New Leaf, I don't think it will impact Smash.
2) Isabelle has competition from Resetti, K.K. Slider, and Tom Nook for a slot that probably doesn't exist.
3) Sakurai has mentioned Isabelle directly in some of his daily pictures, and she appears on Villager's artwork. She isn't being built up to be playable... at all.
Isabelle Want: 0%I've spent more hours on Animal Crossing than any video game series bar Runescape; that includes Smash Bros. I like Isabelle as a character. Even so, K.K. Slider and Resetti are the only two other Animal Crossing characters I really wouldn't mind seeing.
<10% Chance Character: 49%
Ghirahim, ChromCina, Rainbow, and tons of Retros have a solid shot. Others also have respectable chances, and it really compounds. All in all, though, I can't say I really expect someone so low on the totem poll to be picked, though it wouldn't really surprise me.
<10% Chance Character Want: 50%
I do like surprises, and I think a number of those characters would be good surprises. However, there are also a ton of bad ones. Overall, I'd prefer my surprises to come from the 10-30% range--characters who are talked about and have concrete merit, but just aren't really expected by pretty much anyone--more like a Villager than a Wii Fit Trainer. I'm rather neutral for right now.
