Pokeball summon and not one I'm interested in.

Playable Grass type Pokemon are absent from Smash, but in the event we got one, I would prefer to have Ivysaur back.

Predictions:

Metroid Prime stage: 5%
NX Port: 60%

Nominate: er....the Prime stage concept climbed faster than I thought. No nominations today, gotta see what to nominate next.

Paging @ colder_than_ice colder_than_ice . You know how we put a lock on Ryu and Roy for a week after the leaks broke, so people could settle down? We should probably do that here for K. Rool.
I support this.

Already has a role as a Pokeball summon, so it most likely wont be playable.

No more Pokemon characters please.

Yet another face in the crowd of Pokemon, it really doesn't have any support but does have tons of competition in it's own series.

Assist Trophy Poke Ball Pokemon
Want: 5%
I used one in my Randomizer Nuzlocke and I believe that it stuck with me until the end. Still, it's not one of my favorite Pokemon.

Serperior
Chance and Want:
Double Zeroes

It's not because of the lack of limbs, it's because it lacks any sort of promotion to be a fighter and it isn't the most popular grass type.
For want, I'm not interested.

New Metroid Prime Stage Prediction: 21.47%
Possible.
NX Port Prediction: 2.14%
I think this is improbable.

Nominations: Guile's Theme 5x

I also elect to hold off on nominations for King K. Rool.

Lock King K. Rool.

Chance for both: 0.5%

One's an assist, one's another 'mon out of many, and neither have much of a chance.

Gardevoir want: 100%

One of my favorite 'mons and one I'd be really interesting in playing as. Right there with Meowth as my top choices for a seventh Pokémon.

Serperior want: 10%

Like them, but not too sure if it's a good choice. But if we had to have a grass type, I'd easily take Serperior over Sceptile.

I'm just gonna keep out of what's going on right now and play this game before bailing. (Well, I would say I also don't think we should renominate K. Rool until after the update and after everyone cools off)

Popular Pokemon! … But also a poke ball summon.

Want: 10% No real interest.
Serperior:
Chances: 2% Not that popular of a pick, and has massive competition.
Want: 20% Better than Sceptile I suppose, but I want a Pokemon I care about.

Nominations: Rerate! Wolf x 5 I really doubt that 90+% chance is what people think right now
Also, I agree we should hold off redoing King. K Rool. I really don't want a repeat of Roy's day, and I could see this leading to similar massive flame wars.

In case you weren't aware, I pretty much give any character we rate that already has a role as either an Assist Trophy or Pokeball either 0.5% or under by default. I just don't think they have much of a chance. That being said, I'll give the generation 3 Psychic/Fairy type Pokemon a small score of 0.4%.
I figured I'd give a small explanation...

Want: 1.2%
I still think Mewtwo is enough and that we should move onto other franchises so that they can have a chance at getting a DLC character.


Serperior
Chance: 0.3%
Abstain from explanation. I'll give the generation 5 Grass type Pokemon a small rating of 0.3%.
Too many other popular Pokemon...

Want: 0.8%
Abstain from explanation.

The elegant battlefield.
2 Pokemon today hmm? Well, I'm not exactly proud of rating like this today, but...

Chance and Want for both: 1%

Why? We're nearing the end of Smash ballot, and neither have any real support to drive them to be chosen in the first place. Plus, both are fairly popular, but not by a Smash standpoint. Not to mention, Gardevoir is a pokeball already.

As for want? Well, I'm content with the Pokemon we have. Heck, I think Mewtwo was only really needed to flesh out the Pokemon playable in the game.

Predictions:
Metroid Prime Stage - 10%
NX Port - 15%

Despite it's appearance as an NPC in the game could be a hinderance to it. Additinoally, there are other more popular Pokemon that could take precedence over it.

Want: 50%
I don't really care either way.

Serperior
Chance: 1%
It's decently popular, but it's not really standing out from the crowd, especially in terms of Smash. Also, as with Sceptile, I don't think the Grass type thing means anything and I don't think it'd overcome its other flaws.

Want: 35%
I will admit that the potential moveset that it could have would be interesting to see.

75% Chance.
Most games that have DLC get an Ultimate edition down the road. Also the Wii U is not doing too well cause it seems even Nintendo is trying to phase it out. Nintendo would also need a good launch title to go with the NX. And if it is a console handheld hybrid than it would get more Japanese players as consoles are not that popular over there now compared to handhelds.

It would mean Ice Climbers would definitely come back.

Only if we get a Metroid newcomer.

Not too keen on Metroid but I did rent Prime 3 though.

I posted this on another thread...before rating please have a quick gander and see what we're missing...
Phendrana Drifts Stage

^this structure right here would make for a great stage with floating platforms and flickerbats flickering about (they'd have a wind box that pushes the players slightly if they make contact, does 1% damage as well), perhaps a Sheegoth can blast onto the Battlefield in the same way the Metal Gear's did in Shadow Moses! Or some Flying Pirate Troopers can shoot some missiles onto the battlefield...[Sakurai plzzzzzzzzz!!!!!]
-Phendrana Drifts
-Phendrana's Edge
-Chozo Artifact Temple
-Skytown
-Rundas
-Gandrayda
This music all fits the environment IMO and are all pretty awesome...
This is just one idea, for one area from Metroid Prime, imagine all the potential possibilities (outside of the frikkin Frigate Orpheon of all things) from the entire Trilogy that can be implemented...

----

Concept: New Metroid Prime Stage

Chance: 10%
So far, the only stand alone stage we got that wasn't from a previous game was Miiverse...Suzaku Castle came with a newcomer and Dreamland as well as the incoming Hyrule Castle and Peach's Castle were from previous Smash installments making them incredibly easily to make (and a possible new Dr. Mario stage and the return of Great Bay Temple which was leaked)...A brand new stage from another franchise without a character to go with it is something we have yet to see...

Metroid, specifically Metroid Prime is a series that has a lot more to offer in terms of content in Smash, than what it has. Metroid Prime has a Dark Samus assist trophy (shoulda been playable) and some colour swaps (shoulda been actual alts like in Project M) and not much else...heck dozens of Trophies and it's 1 (albeit very lame) stage that were featured in Brawl were all removed for whatever reason, while Other M (the most hated game of the franchise mind you) get's a crapton of content as if the Metroid Prime series didn't matter and that Other M was this huge success which it wasn't...I wouldn't really care about Other M getting all this content if Metroid Prime wasn't treated like an afterthought...

Anyways...one thing that Metroid fans have been very vocal about (outside of having Ridley) was having abrand new Metroid themed stage THAT DOES NOT HAVE FREAKING LAVA!!!! Brinstar has no lava, yet in melee two stages from Brinstar were added and BOTH have lava, mind you in Brinstar Depths the lava doesn't affect the gameplay but it is still there for whatever reason...There's also (with the removal of the Ice Climbers) no ice themed stages...Phendrana Drifts is easily one of the most memorable areas of the Metroid Prime Trilogy, and arguably the Metroid franchise with it's amazing atmosphere, music and freaking badass monsters (those Sheegoths though O_O)...There's also Skytown being one of the most memorable from Corruption with once again it's amazing atmosphere, music and freaking badass robotic..................things...

anyways...I'm not really holding my breathe for any Metroid content (despite next year being the 30TH ANNIVERSARY of the series) seeing as it really doesn't get the proper recognition it deserves from Nintendo for some reason...I mean the Wii U may end up missing out on a console Metroid title which is something that would've helped the system greatly as it is one games that people were anxiously waiting for...but instead there is still nothing...

----

Want: 100%
Well, duhh....If Sakurai's not going to give us a playable character, then why not a brand new stage that doesn't revolve around freaking lava and a stage boss that no body wants as a stage boss....here's a few ideas

Phendrana Drifts-Ice themeatics which are missing outside of Gerudo Desert with Twinrova being annoying...see above for more...

Sanctuary Fortress-Robotics everywhere, the stage can be techy with shifting parts in some areas with the Quads moving about, perhaps Quadraxis can pop up every now and then as a cameo, being from Echoes they could incorporate Light and Dark themes to involve some extra aesthetics and perhaps some Ingsmashers (seriously those things are beastly)

Skytown-Just the atmosphere alone is enough reason to make this a stage, perhaps with some of the steambots either floating int eh baclground or providing themselves as simple stage hazards that can be knocked away...

Phaaze-Imagine pools of Phazon that provide an intsakill similar to the lava in the great Cave Offensive, and perhpas some Phazon based lifeforms, such as Phazon Puffers, Hopping Metroids and perhpas a Leviathan Infant floating about...I kinda want the Azelion to pop out of a wall and grab fighters, could work in a simialr fashion as the fish from the Ice Climbers stage...Phaaze could be one of those deadly hazard based stages, where it's carnage the whole time...

Torvus-A swampy atmosphere would be neat in Smash as well with some grechlers and Bloggs ruining people's day...This stage could have water as well that players can drown in as well...Also any stage from Prime 2 could be themed around the Light vs. Dark World perhaps a Dimensional portal pops up and when a fighter makes contact with it the stage swtiches into the other form of Aether with the Ing and other Dark aether creatures being arseholes to the fighters

Man, Sakurai PLEASE GIVE US SOME METROID PRIME CONTENT!!!!! y'know to at least show that you haven't forgotten about us...

----

SSB4 NX Port

Chance: 5%
I don't particularly think that we'll see an NX port of Smash 4 mainly because the NX is still a ways off before it's release...It doesn't makes sense to add a game that is 2 or 3 years old and past it's life cycle onto a new system when they could simply start making a new one to be ready a few years down the line...although it could be upgraded with better graphics, more content (no handheld port so no technical issues) in a way to make the game the way it's supposed to be...

----

Want: 50%
I'm really on the fence with this one...I'd rather they make a new game, unless they are going to be adding more content to the NX port, which will pretty much be the same as a new game either way...

----

Prediction:
Galacta Knight: 2.34%
not getting before Bandana Dee, and Magolor, and Dark Matter...too much in his way...

SSB5 New Director: 34.56%
Hard to say...Sakurai is known for his persistence and dedication especially to smash...perhpas he can co-direct but he's very picky with the content in smash, Sakurai may step down entirely, but his passion for this series may prevent him from doing so...

Metroid Prime Stage

Chance: 1%
Want: 50%
Again, we have no evidence that stages come without being classic or with an associated character, something that may change by Friday's drop. Even considering that we may get new stages, though, would Sakurai really take something from Metroid Prime? All the Metroid content (all one and a half characters, one stage, one boss, and three assists) pretty much pull from Other M.
More stages are always fun, but I have no pull one way or another. Unless a Metroid stage is coming with a new character that's heavily requested, now that one of the top contenders is bleeding out on the ropes...
NX Port

Chance: 35%
Want: abstain
We don't even know what the NX is, much less anything about it. If they intend to move consoles, though, they'll need to have a Mario Kart, a Mario platformer, a Zelda game, and a Smash game for it. While the Marios come out every other year, the other two take time.
I'm expecting that Zelda U will fall into the Twilight Princess trap - it gets delayed enough to be an NX launch title. Still, they've got no Smash for it, but it's too early for another. Porting it sounds like a great option, particularly if that includes an 'ultimate' version with all DLC included (and one or two extra characters like the Ice Climbers who didn't make it before. That I can see.
Prediction: Galacta Knight - 1.9%
New director - 29.1%

Nom: Midna x5

PS: K.Rool rerates are locked until the chaos surrounding yesterday's announcements cools off. We did 10 days last time - that would put us until the 7th, or exactly one week after the DLC release. After that time, people can start nominating it (and I have a feeling it'll reach the top very quickly) Sound good?

Chance: 77%

Want: 90%

As long as you include some more stages, characters and such... I'll get it. Also all the DLC to be included. This is what I thought would most likely happen if Smash 5 doesn't come anytime soon. It kinda seems more likely still IMO. ((Oh, And please add variants of Custom moves like give Pac-Man his butt-bounce or rev-roll.... And give Mario his tornado, ground pound, star spin... Just some more game-related custom moves please. That would be cool.))

SSB4 NX Port:
Chance: 85%
If the NX and Wii U are that close in design, a port would certain save a lot of time and effort. Square Enix is already developing a DQ game for the NX, so it's most likely ready, just being held back to allow the Wii U to stay a while longer. A lot of characters in Smash 4 were imported from Brawl and then modified by changing animations, upgrading the textures and models, etc. So it will definitely happen again.

Want: 50%
Although I don't have the Wii U version, I'm not sure if I want to pay for nearly the same game (and a new console) a second time, even if we do get a few extra characters.​

@Captain Hotcakes, I summon thee!

New Metroid Prime Stage

Chance: 1%

Want: 80%

NX Port

Chance: 50%

I feel this could go either way. While an enhanced port has never been done for a Smash game before, I can't help but consider the circumstances and think it has a rather strong possibility of happening. The NX will likely be out in a few years and will need a killer app to help its sales, but development cycles for Smash games usually last half a decade.

Want: 50%

I'm honestly conflicted about this concept. On one hand, it would likely feature the compete package (Wii U + 3DS + DLC) alongside some additional content. On the other, I aleady spent a total of over $100 for both current versions and all of the DLC packs released so far minus the second batch of Mii costumes, which would feel like a waste if Nintendo announced a "complete edition."

Predicitons:

Galacta Knight - 1.6%

New Director - 28.6%

Metriod Prime Stage

Chance - 6.5% - Possibly in the works, but I don't think we'll be seeing much Metroid content.

Want - 60% - Could be interesting, but I have no pull for it right now.


NX Port

Chance - 37.5% - Honestly, while we haven't discovered what's exactly the NX actually is, I'm going to lean towards no, as it is a gut reaction.

Want - 40% - Honestly, I would rather build on what's already here, and a port when I just got the games recently feels a bit too soon.


Predictions

Galacta Knight - 1.86% - Meta Clone incoming!

New Director - 43.65% - Sakurai has been known to be a perfectionist, but I won't be surprised if he wishes to retire or do something new for a while.

More information, more leak talk, and everyone's on edge all over again. For now, though, let's talk about something different.

--

Concept: New Metroid Prime Stage

Chance: 5%
As previously mentioned, new stages are difficult to judge. The only one we've seen so far came with a character, and with such a small sample size, we don't know if it was because said character was a newcomer, because he was a third party newcomer, or if Suzaku Castle is merely a sign of more new stages in the works than they're letting on.

Unfortunately, that doesn't help this concept's chances much. With Ridley and Dark Samus functionally out of the running, the chances of a Metroid newcomer aren't looking good, much less one as momentous as Ryu. We've seen no (confirmed) sign of further new stages yet, and what would get them to look at Metroid Prime over however many others?

While it could still happen, too many signs point toward us doing without a new locale from the hit trilogy...or getting Frigate Orpheon back, if anything.

As someone who's played all three Metroid Prime games...hell yes. There are so many memorable places to base a stage on that I'd take one in a heartbeat. Phendrana Drifts. The Phazon Mines. Torvus Bog. Sanctuary Fortress. Elysia. The Pirate Homeworld. Phaaze. And I barely had to think to come up with those!


Concept: Smash 4 NX Port

Chance: 40%
So this situation's a little strange. Nintendo's next big thing is no more than a couple years away, meaning Smash 4 is actually freakishly late in the 3DS and Wii U's cycles compared to the previous two Smash games. That itself brings us to this topic: Would we see Smash 4 get ported to the NX?

The key here lies in whether the NX will be backward compatible with any previous systems. If it can play Wii U games, they may feel no need to port Sm4sh over since the Wii U version would still work fine! If not, though, they'd have every reason to bring one of their current flagship titles--one that is still being supported, even--to their new system. There's also a recurring trend among fighting games to release a "complete edition" eventually that includes all of the game's DLC, though we don't know if Nintendo would do something like that themselves.

With so little in the realm of hard facts, the best we can do is make an educated guess.

Want: Abstain
I won't know how much I really want this to happen until we have more details on the NX.


Galacta Knight Prediction: 2.50%
A modern Kirby character who would lend toward being a clone...and to the regulars, neither is favorable.

Prediction for the Concept of Smash 5 Having a New Director: 36.25%
I have no idea. Going with my gut on this one, while acknowledging it's probably dead wrong. >_>


Nominations:
Concept: Multiple DLC Characters From the Same Series x5

NX Port:
Chance: 50%
At this point speculation would tell us that the NX is Nintendo's next home console, and that it's coming out in a couple years. If true I don't see A) Nintendo not wanting one of their biggest franchises available on it and B) developing another one that soon, so I think it's a strong possibility. That being said, I have no idea what the NX really is so I can't be a 100% sure.

Porting Smash over to NX would mean Nintendo will still be supporting it. Soooo more DLC?

New Metroid Prime Stage:
Chance: 5%
So far the only stages we've gotten so far have been either character specific, retro, or (if the leak is true) cut content. So unless a Metroid Prime stage file was cut that we don't know about or there's a new Metroid character on the way, I just don't see it.

Want: 80%
I see no reason to not want a stage from a great series.
