I still want Ike to be revealed. That would be so hype for me. SO HYPE.

Falco or Pokémon Trainer...or Mewtwo especially would work if he counts as a veteran.

An updated chance chart:

Not too many changes though.


I'd like to see R.O.B. the Robot in terms of visual style.
I daresay Kawashima should certainly NOT be in the B tier. K.Rool should be up higher, Genesect should be lower, as should the 3 captains.

Any Mario character should be D tier in my opinion.

My personal opinions,
I think Dr. Mario would be in the D row unless you consider him possibly being an alt costume for Mario. I could see that.
Tom Nook, Robin, Prince Sable, Muddy Mole, Mach Rider, Dog+Duck, ExciteBiker, and Bubbles should be in the C row.
Lip should be in the B row. I think she's the second most likely Retro rep.
Dark Pit should be in the C- row.
Bowser Jr. and Paper Mario should be C-.
Dr. Kawashima should be in the D row.
Dixie Kong should be in the A row.
Mr. Resetti shouldn't be here.
And Prof. Layton should be in the C row.

Because Wii Fit Trainer shouldn't be a reason why I would consider him B-Tier of possibility. :p
Genesect is possible since he would be a unique Pokemon that could be considered for playable, but that's a whole another story to why I placed him.
I'm not going to put K. Rool any higher until we get a sign of Gangplank Galleon or anything Kremling related confirmed.
I consider the 3 Pikmin captains a very plausible unique possibility that could be chosen despite the fact the community saying it Pikmin not needing 2 charactes.

Roy is more likely than, like, 90% of your B tier.

(Yes I'm still on about this. Making sure Roy gets his goddamn respect)
C-Tier is basically semi-clone territory, so Roy is fine where he belongs. :p

So then why isn't Chrom down there? :troll: :troll: :troll: :troll: :troll:

(In all seriousness, I don't think that potentially/likely being a semi-clone should be that big of a knock against a character in terms of likelihood. This is a likelihood tier list, right? Not a "how much I like this or that character" tier list?)

Is it just me or is Scolisis a bit of a broken record?
This whole freaking thread is a broken record Xenoblaze.
What about the chance of Mewtwo not being in SSB4?
1%.
One percent.
That's it. There is no question about if Mewtwo will be in this game.

As for newcomers we could see this month, I'd say Captain Falcon.
He and Ness are way overdue.

In Melee, Roy was a clone. Where do the clones go? :p
Serious note, I keep hearing that Roy is very popular in Japan but I've yet to see that myself.

Let's see. His chance of being in Smash again are obv. at over a million percent. So we subtract that from 100%, and we get that his chance of not being in Smash to be about negative a million percent. :p

Oh hello The Legend of Shorhorned and Redundant Emblem.
Am I going to get a hard time now because I support Chrom?
I may as well brace myself for the months to come if that's the case.
Or hopefully a well or two if Chrom is revealed this month.

Jeez, it's like you're a jerk to everyone who has a different opinion than you.

That brings up a good question. How ANGRY would people be when they see that Mewtwo,Ridley,Palutena,Bandana Dee,Chrom,or Takamaru weren't in?

Yes, this is a likelihood list. I'm encompassed how much merits, hints (or leaks), and their current position to place each character carefully, I know where I'm placing them. :p
If I was biased, then I would put Anna at S tier without legitimate proof that would make her really likely.

Particular Takamaru, most people wouldn't care, some people will question.

I think Xeno was agreeing with you that the topic is a bit of a broken record, since Zelda and FE discussion come up quite a bit in case you couldn't tell.

No, it's because those topics have been beaten to death and it always leads to the same answers.

I'm not going to lie to please the Topic Goddess or whatever.

Please do not start with Chrom flaming.

If it starts, infractions will be handed out. Discuss it cordially, or not at all.

(this is just as I saw Chrom come up)

He looks hilariously derpy in this shot.

I'd bend my back and curb-stomp myself with my own foot in a public place.

Oh.
See I misunderstood.
Sorry about that Xeno, thought you were bringing Chrom into a conversation where Chrom wasn't involved.

Bandana Dee & Takamaru likely won't cause a huge uproar (Like Krystal not being in SSB4).

Palutena might shock many people but not enough to go "Wow, thanks Sakurai!"

Mewtwo & Ridley on the other hand though...

Thats what I think.

Kind of depends on each individual. Some of the bigger ones like Mewtwo, Ridley, and Palutena will probably cause a very nasty reaction if they aren't in, while some slightly lesser ones like Bandana Dee, Chrom, and Takamaru will probably cause a good bit of rage, but not near the levels of the first three, I think.

Did I miss the Pikmin conversation?

With only three Pikmin (if true) Olimar's Up B should become his throw. A short tether of Pikmin.

His new Up B should be a swarm of Flying Pikmin buzzing in to carry him and to place a Rock Pikmin for throwing purposes in his hand. Olimar could navigate briefly in the air with the flying Pikmin and dodge and press A to throw his projectile.

What do we all think of Isaac?

I think he'd be unique, but I don't think he's making it.
That's basically my thinking.
I think Isaac missed his chance in Brawl, when Golden Sun was fresh and new.
Now it hasn't had a game in a while and the last one featured a new protagonist.
That's why I hope Shulk makes it in this time. Because next time I don't know if he'll have much of a chance.

Captain and Ness ain't newcomers bro.

How about hypothetically? If Mewtwo wasn't revealed, how would you feel? Would you care? Who would you want in place of him? Who would be most likely after that?
That brings up a good question. How ANGRY would people be when they see that Mewtwo,Ridley,Palutena,Bandana Dee,Chrom,or Takamaru weren't in?
Mewtwo: Honestly, I don't really care, but would feel sorry for everyone else.
Ridley: More or less Mewtwo. But I was air grabs would be cool.
Palutena: More or less Mewtwo.
Banana Dee: Disappointed.
Chrom: I like every FE character more than him.
Takamaru: I would rather have Lip, Mach Rider, Muddy, DHD, Excitebike, etc.

No offense to anyone who likes them.

Shulk definitely has a good chance this time based on his popularity and Xenoblade doing fairly well, but if he doesn't get in this Smash, he's probably not going to get in ever. Unfortunately.

But yeah, we seem to be on the same page as far as Isaac goes.

Is it just me or some of the characters that we want in SSB4 seem to follow "If he/she doesn't get in Smash 4, they're probably never going to get in future games"

After a quick air guitar session I realize that the main reason I want Shulk is to hear You Will Know Our Names in his trailer.
If that doesn't happen I'll be all kinds of disappointed.
