Waaa, K. Rool's scores are overrated. It's almost like a bandwagon is voting him up after he was prominent in a new release...almost.

Yeah, it's one point above Ridley. The heck is that all about, amirite?Waaa, K. Rool's scores are overrated. It's almost like he was the main villain in a new release and everyone bandwagoned behind him as a result...almost.
Smash is a compilation of NINTENDO's HISTORY not just its present so dismissing characters because they are "irrelevant" or old is not a reason to discard them-Half of RTC Official Top Ten making the cut
Chance 50%
I think it's very much likely that at least half of the top 10 make the cut. But still I wonder about the other half. Why's Takamaru considered so likely here? apart of his uniqueness of possibly being the only samurai in the roster I don't get why this obscure retro from a flop game is in the top 10. The last Golden Sun installment was also a flop and Isaac has been reduced as a supporting character in the series so I don't get his top 10 status either. The same goes for K. Rool he hasn't been relevant in a while. I'm not saying they aren't going to make it but with the evidence that we have right now I don't get why they are that highly rated in chance.
Want 20% (only because of Pac-Man and Dixie)
I really don't care about retros or irrelevant characters. I'd rather they bring fresh new blood to the roster. I'd have preferred Lucina over Chrom (or over Ike even). Mii is not a character but an avatar I wouldn't like them in. Don't care about Ridley, K. Rool or Takamaru. Shulk could be interesting, I think Smash could use more RPG rep.
C+
But if they are irrelevant, old and in commercially unsuccessful series then they don't have much going in their favor.Smash is a compilation of NINTENDO's HISTORY not just its present so dismissing characters because they are irrelevant or old is not a reason to discard them
Except that Smash has proven numerous times that a character inclusion, sometimes brings new life to a series or new markets. we would never have had Fire Emblem if not for Smash Melee, Brawl brought back Pit for his retirement and indirectly that lead to Sakurai into doing Uprising, if what you said is true we would never have had Ice Climbers or R.O.B or Mr Game and Watch , how are really old, older in fact that some of the character you are dismissing, never understimate the power of nostalgiaBut if they are irrelevant, old and in commercially unsuccessful series then they don't have much going in their favor.
Of course if you include a retro character in Smash the exposure they get will be more than enough to revive their dead series. But the G&W series were successful and iconic handheld games, R.O.B was a NES marketing ploy who became an infamous icon and had several cameos over the years. I'd give you the Ice Climbers. I get your point but the line has to be drawn somewhere with the retros.Except that Smash has proven numerous times that a character inclusion, sometimes brings new life to a series or new markets. we would never have had Fire Emblem if not for Smash Melee, Brawl brought back Pit for his retirement and indirectly made Sakurai into doing Uprising, if what you said is true we would never have had Ice Climbers or R.O.B or Mr Game and Watch , how are really old, older in fact that some of the character you are dismissing, never understimate the power of nostalgia
Well some of the characters, that seems odd to you are considered iconic so if you give that to you should consider the same treatment for some of the ones listened in the top 10.Of course if you include a retro character in Smash the exposure they get will be more than enough to revive their dead series.

You need to work out each individual scenario's chances and then add them together... there really is no easier way to do it with varying chances like this. If you really want to I'd advise a spreadsheet with true and false on if they're in the game in said configuration and then put the chances to the power of that value (1 or 0), multiplying all the resulting numbers to make a total chance for that particular configuration.I don't know how to math this.

Do this around 1500 times, making sure you don't double up on any of the scenarios (the hard bit), then add them together and you'll have your answer!
You should get Groose's calculator.Half of our top ten.....ummmm....math....great......
Ok, here we go:
Name:Chance/Want
Palutena: 100%/100%
Pacman: 95%/70%
Shulk: 85%/90%
K. Rool: 50%/100%
Chrom: 85%/65%
Mii: 80%/0%
Dixie Kong: 75%/50%
Takamaru: 60%/80%
Isaac: 65%/100%
Ridley: 95%/100%
And putting that through all the maths and stuff... um....
Screw it.
Turns out I got it wrong, it's only around 650 time, I squared numbers instead of triangled... still I'm trying to make an excel sheet you can use to calculate it, but I've done something wrong as my numbers come out to 3434.35%...Uh... alright...
Did it in my head.
Got 90%.
Hey I'm allowed to be lazy it's 5 am.
Nah. It probably has motion controls.You should get Groose's calculator.
Now feeling a mix of interested and confused...Turns out I got it wrong, it's only around 650 time, I squared numbers instead of triangled... still I'm trying to make an excel sheet you can use to calculate it, but I've done something wrong as my numbers come out to 3434.35%...
Bear with me!
Now feeling a mix of interested and confused...
Math was never my best class
I think I can do these at the same time
Palutena- 100% / 100%
Pac-Man- 93% / 75%
Shulk- 77% / 99%
K Rool- 72% / 90%
Chrom- 86% / 30%
Mii- 30% / 0%
Dixie Kong- 68% / 100%
Takamaru- 67% / 97%
Isaac- 51% / 99%
Ridley- 70% / 98%
I don't know how to math this.
Pretty sure about this though
So 90% 3434.35% it's happening
And I want 8 of these.
So 99%
Looses a percent because Miis.
This is from yesterday, just thought I'd do the math for you now!I decided I wanted to challenge myself so I made a top 25.
1. Palutena - 88%
2. Pacman - 73%
3. Shulk - 63%
4. Dixie - 50%
5. Miis - 49%
6. King K. Rool - 44%
7. Chrom - 43%
8. Isaac - 39%
9. Takamaru - 33%
20. Ridley - 12%
Kalimdori's Chance: 99.63%Half of our top ten.....ummmm....math....great......

Not tooo far off, though still notable:Half of the top ten
Palutena: 90%
Pac-Man: 85%
Shulk: 36%
King K. Rool: 57%
Chrom: 70%
Mii: 30%
Dixie Kong: 30%
Takamaru: 19%
Isaac: 20%
Ridley: 15%
I'm not good enough at math to know how to find the correct number... So I will guess instead. 3...4%? Sure, 34% sounds good.
RTC got it half right!: Abstain
This one's pure maths, and maths that'd take a few hours to pull off. I thought about making a program to work it out for me and uploading it for all you guys, but honestly that's more effort than I can spare for this game right now. Go work it out yourself if you want:
For me, their chances go:
95% 95% 70% 65% 70% 5% 35% 65% 45% 95%
I'm not quite sure how you did that as your chance scores should calculate to a 93.42% chance...I did some math and... well... I got a score that I didn't exactly agree with. My end result was barely over 30%.
