Odie
Chance: 20% - It's a possibility if we happen to get any double dipping on franchises in the DLC. Garfield himself's in, so that's one barrier down, and Odie's definitely a frontrunner for the next Garfield rep. Not being a cameo on Sweet Dreams or Garfield's moveset helps a ton, too! Plus the devs are in with the memes, even referencing an Odie-related quote from Garfielf in the Garfield showcase, and we all know Odie has no shortage of memes! Really, his biggest issues are competition. Jon Arbuckle is the other Garfield frontrunner and has all of the same advantages as Odie, they're practically neck and neck. The other is competition from franchises without representation already. That's likely going to be the focus of the DLC, and unlike other characters like Squidward or Mr. Krabs, Odie doesn't currently have strong fan demand. Still, I can see Odie potentially happening down the line!
Want: 50% - I wouldn't mind Odie at all! You can never have too much Garfield, and Odie's got a hilarious design! Though there are other priorities right now on my list of most wanted characters, and we just got Garfield himself, so I don't mind seeing Odie take the back seat for a bit. But as someone who loves comic strips (I'll be the #1 advocate for Charlie Brown/Snoopy if we ever get "third party" characters), I wouldn't complain about Odie one bit! He would make for a very funny fighter!
Vendetta
Chance: 3% - She's no Kelpy G, but she is niche even compared to other niche characters. Characters like Otis or El Tigre still got a decent amount of promotion and plenty of episodes/airtime on the main channel. Making Fiends, while screwed over by Nickelodeon, was still only a blip on the radar of Nick history. Only six episodes that were Nicktoons Network-exclusive (and this was the time Nick started using it as a dumping ground) isn't anything to write home about. She also has...some...fan demand, but after looking through some poll results she doesn't poll particularly well, usually in the bottom 50%, and often in the bottom 25%. So fan demand isn't saving her. And Nickelodeon never acknowledges or mentions the show in any capacity. Really, it's only getting some publicity these days because, after Glitch Techs, some people have gone back to look at other shows Nick screwed over.
Want: 1% - No experience with the show, not too interested in really grimdark Nicktoons, and not much interest based on what I saw. The main argument I see for her was that she got screwed and deserves another chance. But I cannot in any way see the justification for adding her when loads of major Nick staples aren't even in the game yet, all with 1000x the impact on Nick's history and way WAY more fan demand. She's not a BAD character, but I'd be very upset if she were prioritized over the Big Four. She does have potential for a summoner playstyle, but in terms of summoning creatures there's other characters that can do this that I'd rather see, such as Eliza Thornberry or Lana Loud.
Nominations:
Leni Loud x15
Sokka x15
Predictions:
Rocko - 96.86% - As someone we all know would say, "Rocko is a Locko". He's one of the Big Four, the last 90's lynchpin (sans Doug, who's almost impossible), has loads of fan demand, gets into every crossover, benefits from the devs' 90's bias, and even has the datamined Suck O Matic item! It's really a no brainer here, Rocko's gonna have chart-topping scores!
