Wrong. There is an entirely different Christmas special planned. Groose didn't expect me to show up; I just did. When the Lord of the Underworld feels like doing something, he does it.

Now I'm getting a little hyped for Hades in Smash Bros.
Not exactly as a playable character, but an appearance in general. One with lots of talking.

His chances are slim. Kid Icarus-icus isnt a very big series-icus, so I cant see them getting anything more than Palitena-icus. Plus after her, we have Medusa-icus. Hades is a pretty cool guy, I guess-icus.

Hades:
Chances:7%
I remember someone asking why Medusa rates higher than yesterday, and the answer is actually really simple: she's more classic. Although I hate to say this in the presence of the one true Hades, but that's what happens to you if you wait until the third game to appear in a series.
Now I love Uprising to death, but there was a time when Uprising didnt exist. Way back in the 90s, I remember reading Nintendo Power and Medusa was at the level of Metroid and Ganon in the echelon of villains. Medusa gets the advantage over hades because the amount of times she's appeared in the series. And for both her appearances, she was major character in the game. She was the final boss in the original and she was major villain in Uprising. Her importance to the series should never be understated. When you first place Uprising, there is a reason why she appears at the first stage.
Also aided to her chances is that Hades is much more of a Sakurai creation than she is. Hades first appeared in a Sakurai created game . While she is more Yokoi created character.
Now I know what you're saying. But Hades is the Final Boss in Uprising and orchestrated the events in the first game. Which is true, but doesn't really matter. After all, Wolf is not the Final Boss of Star Fox. Nope, he's a midboss just like Medusa. And one of the characters that does best in RTC, Ridley, you won't be shocked to remember that isn't the final boss of his series as well. So there is no final boss comes first type of rule.
When it comes to Hades specifically, he has a great design and is the main boss in the game he appears. But I can't see him getting in before Palutena, and his chances are lower than Medusa's.
Want: 70%
I would prefer Palutena or Medusa first.
Nintendog: .85%
Nominations:
Medusa x 1
Micaiah x4
Edit: BTW, since you're here. I really didn't like playing as you Kid Icarus Dog.

People underestimate Kid Icarus Uprising. While it may be the case that KI hasn't sold quite enough to warrant two additions, it's not exactly out of the ordinary and could conceivably happen depending on Sakurai's perspective on his own characters.
Now, I rate him higher than Medusa because, as I said before, Medusa getting so much attention makes no sense to me. It's not even a matter of relevance, but of the way the franchise was treated.
First, someone above mentions how in the good ole days Medusa was the huge baddie of Kid Icarus, but when I think back on those days, the most iconic enemy from Kid Icarus, by far, was the eggplant wizard. So much that I saw more people wondering about the eggplant wizard being in Brawl than I did people expecting Medusa. The comparison was made with Ridley and Mother Brain ... well, in this case Ridley doesn't equal Medusa, but Eggplant Wizard.
This is all, of course, assuming focus on what came before Uprising. Further comments before moving on ... iirc, Medusa wasn't even in the second KI game for the Game Boy. Doesn't make her as prevalent a villain as people seem to want to think.
But then we get to Uprising and Hades entered. It was clear Sakurai wanted to honor the classic game with Medusa and Hewdraw and Twinbellows and Pandora, but you only have to play past chapter 9 in that game to realize the game is not as much about honoring the classic but about developing the universe of the game to considerable lenghts and justify it being placed side to side with gaming icons such as Zelda and Metroid. And in that expanded KI universe, with more character and history, Hades is the top dog villain of all.
My point in all of this, Hades is much much more likely a villain for KI than Medusa, and as a result doesn't merit less than a 13% chance with that in mind. For his own merit, outside of Medusa comparisons, he has the power, the heart, the humor and the design to fit stupendously well in this game. After Palutena, and with Viridi being part of the stage in the 3DS, I imagine the consideration will then go to Hades ... followed perhaps by Pittoo.
Want 75%
I want Palutena first and foremost. That aside, I would love to see Hades make it just thanks to the sheer quality of the character and his dialogue. As a note, I do think that nevertheless his best possible form in this game is as a boss, but I'd be ok with him being playable.
Prediction
Nintendog - 1.87%
The AT reveal probably will hurt its chances and bring them to an all-time low.

Well I'll be a Bazoomba's uncle! I actually won nominations this time around?...well of course I did! The plan I set in motion 3 to 4 months ago finally paid off! Unfortunately, I don't know who to spend them on at the moment so I'll just hold them in reserve for a later time.
HADES
Chance: 10% - I think Palutena has priority.
Want: 10% - Could be interesting but again Palutena has priority.
Nintendog Prediction: .1% - Hades has taken control of the game with fiery charisma! Joined by Pyrrhon, Pandora, and Kid Icarus Dog, Hades sets ablaze this round with ferocious fire! But in his trail comes...another puppy? Will this day be one for the records or has this thread gone to the dogs? Find out on episode 115 of Rate Their Chances: "Nintendog's Inferno".
Nominations:
Dark Pit x5 (Not using extra noms just yet).

Hades:
Likelihood: 5%
Palutena is a shoo-in if KI gets a second character. The chances of KI getting a 3rd character is really low, so that brings his score down.
Want: 15%
Haven't played Uprising, but from my research he does seem interesting. But I want Palutena and Medusa before him.
Nintendog: 0%
He/she/it is going to do worse than Chancellor Cole.

It seems as though we weren't too confident with Rosalina. Even with the Super Mario Galaxy stage and playability in Super Mario 3D World, we gave her a merely 15.77% chance. However, a sizable portion of you are most likely ecstatic with her inclusion with a 42.90% want.
Her real main competition, Bowser Jr., got a 56.43% chance and 68.16% want. Looks like his chances, as well as the chances of other Mario characters, are now (sadly) decimated thanks to Rosalina getting confirmed.
Do you think that we should rate the possibility of a 6th Mario character?

Decinmated? Hardly.
Lowered? Yes.
Toad, Bowser Jr, and Waluigi i now see as the only realistic characters possible. I would put Daisy (considering she's one of my favorites) but I don't see it happening.
HOWEVER
HAHA IN YOUR FACE HADES ROSALINA GOT CONFIRMED AND YOU HAVE TO SIT HERE POUTING LIKE A BABY
