DJ Octavio: Chance 3%: The antagonist from Splatoon would be an unexpected addition, but I could see it happening. Probably in the next game though. Want 25%: I'm not against him getting in, but it wouldn't be my favorite choice. De La Cruz: Chance 0%: Who? We have plenty of Castlevania...

Huh. Rosalina breaks the pattern of music, possibly in an attempt to avoid another Bloody Tears situation. Down to the final 12 characters to be revealed, plus any that get revealed on Thursday.

Sigh... Chibi-Robo is nowhere in sight. So much for my most wanted character.

No More Stages Chance: 70% Call me crazy, but Sakurai doesn't lie. Yes, there are probably stages planned for DLC. However, he specifically stated that there are 103 stages in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. I consider that confirmed. However, there are some problems. For one, a magazine posted that...

Confusingly, they translated the memory into English for us today. Oddly, this doesn't correspond to any release date for the original Star Fox. Star Fox 64 did release in the PAL region on October 4, but memories posts normally refer to Japan's release dates. I suppose they planned to translate...

Nathan Drake Chance: 0% In this day and age, Nathan's the closest Playstation has to a mascot. Unfortunately, that means he's highly unlikely to get in this Nintendo focused game. It's also an American company, which makes deals more difficult. All in all, highly unlikely. Want: 1% If we get a...

Django Chance: 0% Sorry we're out of sunlight, try again tomorrow. No seriously, this series is dead and third party. This isn't happening any time soon. Want: 0% No thank you. I don't like saying he would be a waste of a slot, but there's not much else to be said. Nominations: No More Stages x5

Hilda: Chance: 1% Outside of a missing pallet swap, there's not much going for her. I think the support for her is too recent to play a part in the game. She only really got popular once echo fighters were revealed, so I think she scored poorly on the ballot. Want: 5% I have no attachment to...

Dixie Kong Chance: 40% Isabelle puts a big wrinkle in speculating characters who fit best as semi-clones. We now know they are possible, instead of just echoes. We might not get any more besides Isabelle, but Dixie Kong is the top of this category. Want: 70% I think she would fit well, and it's...

Guys, focus. We might need to do an emergency day for 103 vs 108 Stages and the Box Theory, but for right now, let's concentrate on the characters we're supposed to be rating. Bandana Dee: Chance: 10% He's no longer as likely as he once was, but he's not out of the running. He has a decent fan...

Satisfaction: 20% I mean I'm happy for her fans, but this wasn't a character that I looked forward to. In addition, she's a semi-clone. I would have liked her more as an echo fighter, because branding her as a full character leaves a bad taste in my mouth. She deserved her slot, so I'll live...

Hm... It's hard to say on these characters. Lloyd: Chance: 10% Yes, I've seen him mentioned, but his time in the spotlight ran out. He was really popular back in the Brawl days, with some carrying into Smash 4. I think the Mii costume did a nice job acknowledging that. Want: 10% Not a character...

Oh boy, it's the wanted 3rd parties. Geno: Chance: 50% I'm going with a toss up on this one. On the one hand, a massive fan demand and Square Enix's involvement in the game. On the other hand, a lack of relevance in both his own game and in future games. Make no mistake, Geno lives and dies on...

Ken: Chance: 60% While his style has differed from Ryu, in the early games he was fairly similar. He would be a nice addition to the roster, while being an easy clone of Ryu. Want: 70% Heck yes! I don't really like echoes, but Ken is probably my favorite idea out of them. He just makes sense to...

Porky: Chance: 1% Yes, there is more of a focus of villains this game. However, that's a symptom of the overlying focus on fan favorites. Ridley and K Rool were two of the most popular characters, and they both happened to be villains. With Porky not being that popular, I just can't see it...
