Chance - 0% - Between Magolor, Dee, Dark Matter, and Adeline, he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Want - 0% - If I wanted to have his move set, I'd just take Yoshi.


Solo Ice Climber

Chance - 0% - I think that if there were no problems doing so, it would have been included in the base game. The Ice Climbers were defined by their two in one play style, so I think it's a matter of principle that they stay together.

Want - 10% - I'd be a bit happy, but I'm willing to wait for the next game to make certain that they remain in-tact.
Gooey: double zeroes.
Who? Or should I say What?
Gooey is a character from the Kirby series. A friendly piece of Dark Matter that is Kirby's best friend. He first appeared in Dream Land 2 for the GB, became playable in Dream Land 3 as a swan-song for the SNES, and his most notable recent appearance was a trophy in SSB Melee.

New to the thread; is it fine for me to jump in, or do I need some kind of credit first? Anyway, my submission, if it counts:

Solo Popo
Chance: 1%
Want: 1%
Personally, I'd rather never have the ICs back than to get this maimed version of them. I don't even think they would be interesting if they weren't an adorable duo. I have a hunch that the game designers would agree with that sentiment.

Gooey
Chance: 1%
Want: 50%
A fun character; came from a good game. Acknowledged with a Melee trophy. During Brawl's development, Sakurai apparently responded to a fan's suggestion for Gooey, though I haven't tracked that down yet. It was seemingly quite an honor for a character to be specifically mentioned by Sakurai at that time. Some good things going for him, but his chance is harmed by the existence of Waddle Dee and Magolor. While I'm a sucker for simple and effective designs, I imagine not many people would want to pay $3.99 for a blue ball with googly eyes and a tongue. It would probably best be saved for Slime, anyway. I would be just fine with this guy making it in, but I also wouldn't call myself a big supporter.

Nominate: Retro Battlefield and Final Destination skins, ×5. Thought I'd help a fellow out, and I like the idea.

Solo Ice Climber chances: 0.9%
Just not something I imagine the developers doing. I doubt they're going to cut what makes them special in the first place for the sake of brining them back.

Solo Ice Climber want: 0%
A solo Ice Climber wouldn't be anything special, and if the next handheld system can handle them or if there's no handheld version of Smash 5, then they could totally come back with their mechanic from Melee and Brawl. And if we get a solo Ice Climber, I predict that the character could have some identity crisis in the future, due to having two completely different appearances in previous Smash games.

Yes, you don't need any "credit" if that was a thing at least half of us wouldn't be posting here :laugh:.
Hope you enjoy the thread!

Chances: 2% I really don't think Sakurai would remove what made a character unique, Ice Climbers only chance is next game imo.
Want: 10% I miss Popo and Nana but I'd rather them come back intact instead of

Gooey:
Chances: 2% I think even Dark Matter is more likely, but he's got a slight chance since Japan's making quite an outcry for a Kirby rep and if Sakurai isn't fond of Waddle Dee, Magolor, Adeleine or Galacta Knight he could get picked. Still is super unlikely though.
Want: 15% I'd rather get Waddle Dee, Dark Matter, Adeleine, or Magolor if we're going to get a Kirby rep.

Solo Ice Climber
Chance:
10%

There is a lot of demand for the Ice Climbers to return, but the fans are skeptic of them returning because Sakurai stated that the 3DS prevented their return. So, if Sakurai wants to meet the demand of the fans in some way, he would probably go for a Solo Ice Climber as compensation. Unfortunately, this is pretty unlikely because fans rather have both of them return and what made them unique as a pair was their duo mechanic. If one returns, their essential uniqueness is gone.
I don't think that this is likely, mainly because I think Sakurai could attempt to bring both back. But, if he can't and wants to give the fans some compensation in some way, a Solo Ice Climber is the way to go.
Want: 0%
I have shared my distain about the Ice Climbers in general in the past and I don't think it bears repeating.

Gooey
Chance and Want:
Double Zeroes

Gooey is a one-off character from Kirby's Dream Land 3, doomed to never be seen again outside of cameos. Gooey isn't even that requested, as characters like Bandana Dee and Magolor are more wanted than him.
I'm not interested and I want to have Bandana Dee in Smash.

Lyn Prediction: .83%
The fact that she is an Assist Trophy and there are already 5 FE characters will drop her scores compared to the other ATs.

Solo Ice Climber's Chance: 5%
While I see no reason or desire on Sakurai's end to do so, he did cut Olimar's Pikmin count in half and separate Zelda from Sheik.

Solo Ice Climber's Want: 0%
It's together or nothing. Splitting Zelda/Sheik was one of the worst decisions in Smash Bros history, even worse than random tripping. They were once an incredibly interesting and unique character, now they are bland and a chore to play as to me. I absolutely don't want to see Ice Climbers ruined in this manner, even if that means having to wait for Smash Bros 5 and beyond for them.

----------

Gooey's Chance: 5%
Nothing really indicates he will be chosen, fan demand is basically nothing.

Gooey's want: 2%
I don't see a whole lot going for him, he's one of those more limited characters that would make more sense as an Assist Trophy.

Gooey:

Chance and Want:



Regarding Chance:

Gooey is a Kirby character that first appeared appeared in two early released Kirby games: Kirby Dream Land 2 and Kirby Dream Land 3, though he didn't become playable until the 3rd Dream Land game. Since then, he hasn't appeared in any new Kirby games, thus becoming an obscure video game character nowadays despite appearing as a trophy in Super Smash Bros Melee. Combine that with minuscule ballot support, along with the fact Bandana Dee and Magolor leading the charge for the next Kirby rep, and you can see why Gooey doesn't have much of a chance right now.

Regarding Want:

Though I never played Kirby Dream Land 3, I do remember seeing its trophy in Melee and thinking to myself, "Ehhh...". I read its trophy description and was surprised to see that it actually has similar abilities to Kirby, with the only difference being that it can't inhale two enemies and once and copies the opponent's abilities by licking instead of inhaling. Personally, I feel like he would come out too much as a Kirby clone, and I really don't want Kirby to have a clone of himself since he is so memorable for having one of the most interesting appeals in Smash Bros with his copying ability. Even just looking at Gooey doesn't make me like him that much, and when it comes to the next Kirby rep I'd much rather have Bandana Dee.

Solo Ice Climber:

Chance: 5%

The primary issue I see with this is that it completely disregards the main gimmick that made the Ice Climbers a memorable and unique addition into Smash Bros in the first place: the two Ice Climbers fighting together. Considering how Sakurai is primarily interested in making fighters unique, I don't think he would include only a single Ice Climber. I can only see a Solo Ice Climber happening if Sakurai wants to please all those that requesting the famous climbing duo in Smash Bros while knowing that there is still no way to incorporate the duo concept into the 3DS.

Want: 0%

I'd be happy to see the Ice Climbers return, but if they came back as a single fighter and not two at once? No thank you. I really like the duo-concept the Ice Climbers have, and seeing that removed wouldn't make me happy at all.

Predictions:

Jin prediction: 0.47%
Again, who?
Jin Prediction: 0%
Jin... Jin who? Are talking about the one from Tekken or someone else?
Yes, we will be rating Jin Kazama, one of the main characters from the Tekken series, tomorrow.

Anyway, onto my predictions.

Jin Kazama (Tekken): 1.34%
Lyn (Fire Emblem): 0.44%

Nominations:

With Jin Kazama's day finally arriving tomorrow, it's time to start nominating for another idea I had in mind that could make for some interesting discussion.

(Concept) BlazBlue Representation: x5

When I mean "representation", I am not only referring to possible character inclusions. I'm also referring to Mii costumes, stages, possible music, etc. (moreso character inclusion and Mii costume possibilities though). Blazblue has become a really popular video game series in recent years, and with popular fighter games like Tekken and Virtual Fighter already getting representation via Mii Costumes, I'm curious to see if there's any interest for potential Blazblue representation in Smash Bros.

Abstaining from Gooey, whatever the hell this is.

Solo Ice Climber

If you ask me, I doubt that the main gimmick of the Ice Climbers would be removed just to get a watered down version into this game. It would ruin the concept of the character entirely. Just wait for the next game.

If this were to be a thing, it would have been in the base game. Sakurai has already long since made his decision, and I highly doubt he's going to go back on it now. I'll give the concept of a solo Ice Climber a score of 3.6%.
Let's just wait until the next game...

Want: 0.4%
If this happens, there will probably be more complaining than necessary.


Gooey
Chance: 0.9%
Sakurai would go with the more popular Kirby requests due to them being better Kirby representatives. I'll give the blob made from the same stuff as Dark Matter a small rating of 0.9%.
The Kirby franchise has better choices...

Don't see much of a reason to want him.

It honestly wouldn't bother me at all if they dropped the duo mechanic. While it is a bit of their charm, it's not even the main reason I like them so much. I'd still see a solo climber as a unique and fun character and would happily buy and possibly main one.

Chance - 0% - Even if we got a second character from Namco, it's still more likely that we would get another arcade character. Otherwise, it's more likely that someone else from Tekken would get in.

Want - 0% - Honestly, I think we need a break from third parties at the moment.


Lyn

Chance - 0% - Assist Trophy is all I need to say.

Want - 20% - Takamaru would be a better Samurai, and she's not the limitless that is Anna.

Retro Destination - 13.24% - Not likely, but some might call it possible.

Zael Mii - 34.65% - Maybe, I guess?

Jin Kazama


Chance: 3%

Coming from a famous and highly popular series of fighting video games, Jin Kazama is one of the forerunners for a Tekken rep in Smash Bros. Jin is a recognizable character for being the main protagonist of the Tekken series ever since his debut in Tekken 3 (though in Tekken 6, he becomes an anti-hero; you could, however, argue that he is one of the main protagonists when you consider that his actions were integral to the game's plot, but that's up to your interpretation). Jin has even appeared in a crossover game already through Project X Zone, and he's even confirmed to re-appear in the game's upcoming sequel.

He may be less iconic than his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima, but compared to the other Tekken characters that have been rated, I think he has the best chance out of all of them. Unlike Yoshimitsu, he's a character that can be seen as the face of his series. Unlike Heihachi, he hasn't been reduced to a Mii costume. Yes, you can argue that suggest Mii costumes don't necessarily de-confirm characters, but I'm one of those people that think Mii costumes significantly decrease a character's chances of being included into the roster for the reasons that side of the issue provides.

Unfortunately for Jin, he has some major problems that significantly lower his chances for a Smash Bros inclusion at the moment. The first two problems that come to mind is that he is third-party and lacks ballot support. Additionally, Sakurai was originally considering to add Heihachi over Jin as well. This means he believed Heihachi was more important to the Tekken series than Jin, and that's understandable since Heihachi has been around since the first Tekken game, along with the fact Heihachi even appeared in Playstation All-Stars while Jin didn't get this kind of spotlight. In addition, Sakurai ended up dismissing Heihachi as a playable fighter, which can mean that all chances of a Tekken character are significantly low now (though there is a very small possibility that Sakurai could revisit the Tekken series and consider adding an actual fighter, with Jin being the most likely candidate for reasons previously provided).

What really hurts Jin chance's the most is Ryu's inclusion. Ryu already fills the niche of the fighting game rep in Smash Bros, so the chances of another fighting game rep aren't too likely at this point, especially when it comes to martial artists like Jin. It's reached the point that a Mii Costume based off of Jin is a far more likely possibility at the moment.

Want: 95%

Back in the good ol' days before Smash Bros 4 was released, Jin Kazama was my most wanted character for the Namco rep on the roster. Him and Lars Alexanderson are my two favorite characters from the Tekken series. I already knew Lars's chances weren't looking that good compared to Jin since Jin was around longer and is generally seen as the series' main protagonist, so I ended up advocating for Jin at the time. Yes, this was during the time when we all believed there would be no characters from other fighting games on the roster, but I had my fingers crossed that maybe there was a small chance Sakurai could be trolling just to deceive us later on. And funny how we ended up getting a character from a fighting game several months after Smash 4's release.

Sadly came the day Pac-Man was revealed to join the roster as the Namco rep. I was a bit saddened the day Pac-Man was revealed since it basically meant that Jin's chances were practically thrown out of the water at the time. I ended up giving up on Jin and simply diverted my attention to my other most wanted characters.

However, thanks to the Smash Ballot's existence, other fighting games being represented in Smash thanks to Ryu and Mii costumes through DLC, and this very post I am currently writing, I am fondly reminded of the times I wanted to see Jin in Smash Bros. In fact, my wishes for Jin Kazama in Smash Bros have returned to me.

I know Heihachi can be seen as the more likely Tekken rep, but truth be told, I have never been a fan of Heihachi. Jin, on the other hand, is a completely different story. I've been a fan of Jin ever since I first saw him. I just love his calm and serious demeanor combined with all of his awesome costumes he wears. In fact, he would definitely have some great alternate costume potential in this game. You could have his default costume that the above picture shows, his hoodie from Tekken 4, his suit from Tekken 6, his semi-formal attire from Tekken Blood Vengeance, and his casual clothing from Tekken 7 (my personal favorite of the bunch).

He could have a karate-style moveset just like he uses in the Tekken games, and maybe he could also have a rage mechanic similar to Lucario. His Final Smash would undoubtedly be his Devil Jin Transformation. It would be pretty epic to watch him fly around the stage while delivering far stronger karate attacks and even firing very powerful lasers through certain button presses.

At this point, I really want to see Jin Kazama to join Smash Bros as the second Namco rep (if if ends up happening). It's too bad his chances aren't looking good right now, though I wouldn't mind seeing him get the Mii Costume treatment.

Lyn

Chance and Want:



^I might have already provided background on who this character is, but in case there are those that are seeing this for the first time, I'll explain it again. The character in the middle is named Zero. He's the main villain of the 11th Pokemon movie, the one that starred Giratina and Shaymin. The holographic woman that appears on both of his sides is named Infi. She is the computer program that operates his ship. Her appearing twice in this picture signifies "double", while Zero himself signifies "zero". I'm sharing this information since this will likely become a regular pic when I rate double zeroes.

Regarding Chance:

With Roy's return to Smash Bros, it's become much less likely for another Fire Emblem character to be included, especially with many smashers being particularly annoyed by the fact Fire Emblem has 5 reps on the roster. Moreover, she already appears as an Assist Trophy. She's even maintained that status for two games in a row, which means Sakurai doesn't see any potential of her being an actual fighter. Furthermore, if we were to get another Fire Emblem rep, it would most likely come from a newer Fire Emblem title for relevancy reasons.

Regarding Want:

I've never been a fan of Lyn's design, and when it comes to katana-users, I would much rather see Takamaru instead. In addition, I would much prefer seeing Azura as the next female Fire Emblem rep since she would be a far more unique fighter in every possible aspect compared to Lyn.

Predictions:

Classic designs for Battlefield and Final Destination: 1.69%
Zael Mii Costume: 6.12%

Nominations:

(Concept) BlazBlue representation: x5

Jin was one of the characters I pondered far back when Namco's involvement in SSB4 was first made known. He's an okay character, especially with that devil thing. Ultimately, I decided Kazuya would be the ideal Tekken character if we got one, since Heihachi (the most rational choice) was already in Playstation All-Stars, and I didn't want any overlap. I don't think we'll be seeing any Tekken character, as Ryu got all the "fighting game character" out of their systems.

Never had a fondness for Lyn since I tried the FE game she was in, and she was still hand-holding and preventing me from making my own choices even after an hour into gameplay. She's also one of the most boring ATs, so the prospects of her as a playable character are low. Although support characters can be promoted to playable like with Charizard and Little Mac, I think once you've been an Assist Trophy for two games in a row, Sakurai has decided that's just what you do. No desire, and imo, no chance.

Predictions:
Retro BF and FD skins: Want 60% / Chance 0.5%
Zael Mii: Want 70% / Chance 0.5%

I think both will be high because of the "Why not?" component of aesthetic content. Still, there will be some opposition.

Nominate:
Concept: Pikachu Libre recognition ×5

I'm on mobile so quick rating today:

Quadruple zeroes

Classic Battlefield prediction: 13.89%
Zael Mii costume prediction: 22.31%

Nominating:
(Rerate) Playable newcomer: Rayman x1
Concept: ballot runner-ups as DLC Mystery Mushroom costumes in Super Mario Maker x4

Yeah Dr. Lobe will have to wait, I suppose my new concept is semi-relevant to Smash but I think it may be interesting to discuss, I hope it is eligible for nomination.

Lyn Chance:0
Want:100%, Still one of my favourite Fe characters and her katana-based swordplay could translate to something interesting.

Lyn
Chance:
0%

She is an Assist Trophy and that will never change.
Want: 100%
Since the last RTC, I have played some of Fire Emblem 7; I haven't beaten all of it to be quite honest.
Anyways, Lyn is a great character from what I've seen and she's my favorite character in it. A katana based moveset would also be pretty nice as well. While there are a lot of FE characters, I wouldn't mind her appearance at all.

Jin
Chance:
1%

If Namco gets another character and it's not Heihachi, maybe Jin then?
Want: 0%
Not interested.

Classic Designs for Battlefield and Final Destination Prediction: 6.20%
I dunno.
Zael Mii Costume Prediction: 14.93%
Maybe possible.

Nominations: Knuckles 5x

Has Namco in his side, otherwise has many problems related with moveset.

I'm okay with him

Lyn:

Chance: 0.1%

Already a Assist Trophy? Low Ballot Support? (In Japan AT least three characters surprass her). Unlikeable.

Want: Abstain

Meh... I don't have anything against her... But I don't really like her.
