Make 10 oddball predictions about Brawl

[Jave]

There's a rule that says, "Make 10 oddball predictions about something, and at least one of them will come true." This is what this topic is about.

You are going to predict 10 things you think will happen in Brawl, however, they have to be longshot predictions with very slim chances of actually happening. You can't predict stuff that can be considered a safe bet (like ANYTHING that was in Melee) or stuff that is too popular (like the top characters in Sakurai's poll like Geno, Ridley or Megaman).

On the same vein, you can't predict stuff that has no chance of happening whatsoever. No predictions like "Naruto will be playable" or characters that were never on a Nintendo console. They're violations of Sakurai's conditions.

In short, make predictions that have less than a 1% of happening but CAN happen according to Sakurai's rules. Then, when the game is out and everything revealed, we'll see how many here where right so people can brag about how "they called it".

My longshot predictions:

- Marina (Mischief Makers) will be a playable character.
- Crono (Chrono Trigger) will be a playable character.
- Mawile (Pokemon) will be a playable character.
- There's going to be a "Shiny Pokemon Catcher" bonus, triggered by throwing a pokeball with a Shiny Pokemon inside. (The odds of this happening are lower than getting a Celebi in Melee)
- There are going to be exactly 42 playable characters.
- The Koopalings are going to be in the game in some way.
- Sonic's stage is going to be a giant pinball machine.
- There are going to be exactly six playable Pokemon characters. (Pokemon Trainer counts as one, then Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, a 3rd gen, and a 4th gen).
- Adventure mode will be able to be played with each character separately, and depending on the character you use the stages and quests change. If you play as Bowser or Ganondorf, you'll be playing from the villian's POV.
- There's going to be a music theme for each character created exclusively for this game.

Now you go.

I like where this thread is going...


Pleasethatone pleasethatone pleasethatone pleasethatone pleasethatone pleasethatone pleasethatone...

Yes I'm pathetic. What's your point?

 

[wisewaters]

I don't have ten, but this will have to do:
Brawl will be released on PS3,Xbox 360, and original GameBoy.

 

[Metalknux]

Knuckles will be a playable character.

 

[Thedude3445]

Hey ....Shiny Ivysaur......T.l.....Miis are a strong possibility, not a weak. And amost, I think the chraracters are all starters but Sonic and Snake, who may be unlockable. They used those guys for hype to reveal them but be locked. But who'd hype over Dedede? Even supporters just went, "Cool!" then went on with the rest of the day.

1. DS connectivity in some way
2. More of those "Get the game" trophies like Captain Olimar to support the sale secretly of Fire Emblem: RD, or Chibi Robo DS, or Battalion Wars 2, like those.

3. The Ancient Minister Playable (unless a worse boss is controlling him, and the chance is actually 50/50 already, so this isn't really as slim)

4. A completely original character is created in this, which spawns a game series.
5. Melee Memory card connectivity (like amost said)
6. Over 70 characters (final unlcokable, not counting possible patches and update discs)
7. Gamespot giving it a 10
8. One of the ATs letting you temporarily take control of it, because your character warps into it. (burn
Samurai Panda! =P)

9. Letting you download the songs to an MP3 after doing a certain thing.
10. A free 151 block SD card that comes with the game (it'd have to be $60 though)( It'd work with PCs, but it wouldn't even be a GB.)

^ hahahah @ #7 ... these are supposed to be oddball... not impossible

 

[RedKnight]

-there will be a mode where you do nothing but watch other people play the game (wait...)
-Ridley will be a boss ingame...then will be randomly unlocked later
-Luigi will have a taunt of himself crying
-there will be an AT where a picture of Sakurai's head jumps out and eats people, laughing maniaclly
-a random reviewer will mess up on averaing, and somehow give the game an 11...
-an unlockable message will say "Sorry no Knuckles Youko "
-Snake will want to eat Pikachu, and will atempt to do so in the adventure mode
-The anciant minister will seem like the greatest threat to the universe...but then something worse will come
-Miis will be playable but they will suck...hard
-Brawl will be delayed by a week, just for kicks and giggles

 

[OhCripe119]

1. I agree with 42 characters on the nail. (Pokemon trainer, Zelda/Sheik, IC would all count as one each.. unless Sheik stands alone, or isn't in).
2. Jashin the Giant is a playable character
3. Every Pokemon ever can appear from a Pokeball
4. You can't finish Adventure until you unlock every character.
5. Master Hand is no longer a boss, and becomes the final unlockable character.
6. The Great Fox will not be a VS stage in any way, shape, or form.
7. 15 Classic Stages
8. 500 Event Matches (I really hope not)
9. Nintendo and Konami will have a falling out and all traces of Metal Gear Solid will be removed.
10. Pokemon Stadium 3 will have Steel as one of it's transformations, and it will be a cage match.

 

[ARX-7 Arbalest]

here's the ultimate oddball prediction...




























Gamespot.com gives it a good score lol

 

[Shiny Ivysaur]

What is it with Gamespot and always giving low scores, anyway?

 

[ARX-7 Arbalest]

dunno, they broke the mold when they gave mario galaxy a 9.5

i mean hell...we're talkin about the same gamestop that gave twilight princess a low 8.sumthin cuz it was too zelda-y

oh well lol

 

[Chaosblade77]

dunno, they broke the mold when they gave mario galaxy a 9.5

i mean hell...we're talkin about the same gamestop that gave twilight princess a low 8.sumthin cuz it was too zelda-y

oh well lol

They also gave FE: Radiant Dawn a 6.0 because it was "too difficult" and lacked support for things like Miis... ??

Any the death metal song prediction is probably not all that odd. It probably won't be death metal but I see F-Zero getting guitar tracks.

 

[TheLake]

I like this...

1. Mii stage
2. Deaths in subspace
3. Sonic having a knuckles costume
4. Ridley being a boss AND a PC
5. The power of love conquering all
6. Geno being an AT
7. Lucario being a pokeball item
8. Snake will break 4th wall
9. Characters will TALK in subspace
10. There will be blood

 

[Zombieoficer]

Here are mine...
1. There will be more than 1 playable Sonic character. Eggman, to be specific.
2. Simon Belmont will be in Brawl, as playable. He will have a CROSS, not a generic "boomerang."
3. There will be blood... in a very minute quantity.
4. Snake... will bring smoking into Brawl.
5. There will be a Tetris related stage, but obviously no character.
6. Banjo-Kazooie will be in Brawl.
7. There will be an AT that will do nothing but change the track that's playing.
8. Mr. Game & Watch will not be flat.
9. Dr. Mario will be in Brawl... not just as an Alt. Costume, but will tie into SSE's plot somehow.
10. Homer Simpson will be playable.

What if The Simpsons is one of Sakurai's most favorite shows? What if he contacts the show's producers and asks for a character? After all, he is going to put characters HE likes, not necessarily what the consumers like. He will get in as an EA representative. He will use the Homerball.

 

[Magnacor]

1. Sakurai will be playable in Mii form
2. The game will be balanced
3. No one puts OVER 9000!!!! as their taunt
4. The tournament players who act like jerks and the n00bs who act like n00bs will be able to exist in piece
5. Headset and microphone
6. The F-Zero theme that Youko did will be in an F-zero level
7. Multi-Man Miilee. Instead of fighting Wireframes you fight random Mii's.

7. You will not be able to create flat stages on the build a stage mode
