Crash Chance: 30% It's hard to say whether Sakurai considered Crash during Smash Switch's development or not. While the N.Sane trilogy has definitely raised his relevance (positively as well) it might not have been on time. However, it's likely that he would be considered if DLC is happening for...

While I was expecting him to only come back as an alt for Mario in Smash 4, I was really excited to see him be his own character. While definitely not one of the best, I still really enjoy playing Dr. Mario and hope he makes a return. If Mario is indeed getting an update to his moveset with...

I think this is a good argument for the case of any Switch characters. While it may be too early to discuss this topic, I think it could potentially solve this issue. Does anybody think we could be expecting DLC for this new Smash? If it was too late for their time to shine, then I think that...

Over the past few days it's been crazy seeing people mention Crash as an actual contender for Smash. Gets me excited and also happy to see the support :). Fun idea I had for Crash if he were to ever get in. Newcomers in Smash 4 ended up getting artwork for their reveal, which was a cool...

Rayman Chance: 60% Probably the next most likely 3rd party character imo. Nintendo and Ubisoft have had a pretty good relationship so far (Especially letting them develop a Mario spin off of all things) and it doesn't seem to be stopping. Not only that, but Rayman has at least been represented...

Takamaru Chance: 70% A character that's been considered since Melee. Out of the remaining retro Nintendo characters there are, Takamaru is the one who has the highest chance right now imo. His only competition I can see being are Balloon Fighter and an Excite Biker. While Western familiarity...

Rumors are already happening? Wouldn't be Smash speculation without it tbh. I'm ready to start seeing fake renders and character selection screens, especially following this Ridley rumor. I'm also not sure if I'm ready to see multiple fake leaks or enjoy seeing them become a reality.

Probably the reason it wasn't added was because they'd have to get it to work on both the 3DS and Wii U, which I wouldn't be surprised if it couldn't work on the 3DS. While the Pirate Ship stage was exclusive on Wii U, they at least gave the Duck Hunt stage for free on 3DS. There probably...

Ice Climbers Chance: 90% I would think that Ice Climbers would be a gurantee, but I'm unsure. The main thing I could see holding them back is if Sakurai is prioritizing new characters over old ones. If 8 player smash is also an issue, it's unclear as to what would be changed about them to fix...

Responding to your two points 1. I can understand where you're coming from. I think Ice Climbers were a nice representative for retro appeal that also had a unique mechanic to them. If done right, it can also raise interest in bringing said franchise or character back, like Kid Icarus (Even if...

While it's obvious she got in through the ballot, I think it is important to understand the whole point of it. The ballot was a way to include a character that under normal circumstances, would most likely not be considered for Smash (I always felt like the ballot was tailored towards 3rd party...

Since playing Sun and Moon, Incineroar has become one of my favorite starters. I love the wrestling angle he has and his design is great. I would love for him to be playable in Smash for Switch! He's been my first choice for a gen 7 Pokemon for a while so I hope he has his chance to shine. Him...

Snake Chances: 30% With how things have been going on with Konami, it's hard to say whether or not Nintendo would want to partner with them, or if even Sakurai would want to do business with them after what happened with Kojima. Snake's main hope is if he was popular enough on the ballot and...

If the 3rd party characters are being cut down, then Sonic and Bayonetta are basically guaranteed to stay. Pacman and Megaman are both fairly likely to return, and if Megaman comes back then I'd say Ryu has just as good of a chance. Cloud is really the only one I see being iffy on his chances...

With Smash Bros coming to the Switch now, I see myself coming back more often to this site :p Crash has shot up to being my most wanted for Smash and the N.Sane Trilogy coming to the Switch only raises my hopes. It's crazy how a couple years ago it seemed like a pipe dream and now I'm seeing it...
