Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jäger!
Oi! Who are you calling food? And who exactly are the hunters?
...ja, ich kann Deutsch verstehen. Ich spreche auch ein bisschen Spanisch, aber nicht so gut wie Deutsch oder Englisch. Ich hoffe, dass ich Japanisch auch lernen kann, aber ich habe jetzt nicht die Gelegenheit.
I know these guys are reaching the top but could you huys do them in the middle of the week because I can only hop on during School Time. So I can't rate them over the weekend.
Once they get to the top, I can place them on hold until it's a weekday. As an extra safety measure, you can send me your scores for them in a PM a bit in advance, and I'll include them if you can't make it on. However, if we rate them in the middle of the week and you don't get on and don't send me anything in advance, I won't be able to wait for you.
15+ Newcomers (Miis counted as 1) x5
Just so you know, I'm personally calling this "Four or More Newcomers" because I don't want people to be confused over how many newcomers the Mii Fighter counts as, and whether or not Lucina counts. Will this work?
Galacta Knight: 0.1% chance and 0% want
He's not in the upper echelon of the most noteworthy clone-friendly characters, and he'd be relatively difficult to make a direct clone out of (as @
Erimir pointed out, lances are used not for the rapid slashing Meta Knight is known for, but rather for thrusting). Additionally, there doesn't seem to be any reason why he'd need to be more than an alternate costume or color swap for Meta Knight. That's precisely what I think he'll be, and that's precisely what I want him to be--a coloration to add more depth to Meta Knight.
Karate Joe: 5% chance
I believe we're getting a Rhythm Heaven character; I doubt that there'd be an enemy in Smash Run from the franchise if we weren't. You could argue that there could potentially be enemies from unrepresented franchises in there, but even still, Rhythm Heaven feels like a strange franchise to choose for that. I'd say there's about a 66.66% chance that we get a Rhythm Heaven character. Ironically enough, I doubt Karate Joe will be the one selected.
Sakurai has proven one thing with his picks thus far--it doesn't matter if the character fights in their own franchise; he will make them into a fighter. Given that one of Joe's two main draws is that he's the most well-suited character in the series for a fighting game, this kind of shatters his chances. The other draw is that he's recurring in the franchise, but I don't feel that matters much; someone more important in a single installment would probably beat him out.
So, without further ado, let me announce my Rhythm Heaven chance breakdown:
25% Marshal (Mascot-ish, Gematsu, "Blank Slate")
20% Monkey (Mascot-ish, Street Pass, introductory)
10% Chorus Men (Gematsu, Demo, Avertisements)
6.66% Girl (Mascot-ish, Recurrence)
5% Joe (Recurring, Fighter)
...and I probably still forgot someone.
Karate Joe Want: 80%
As usual, I have to make note that I'm not fully behind any Rhythm Heaven character (other than Wrestler) for one reason--I'm cautious about how a moveset based on rhythmic timing would work in action. That said, I feel Karate Joe would be a very good choice from the franchise now that I've played his game in Fever. I've grown to like his simplistic design, and I wouldn't mind seeing a martial arts-based fighter join the cast.
