Rate Their Chances Returns! Day 194: "Predicting the Direct"

[3Bismyname]

if it was the Goku from Yuyuki, then yeah i definately would want him like 100%. chances are low though.
but since we are talking DBZ Goku. 0% want, 0% chance

 

[Erimir]

Forgot to rate Shadow and such. Oh well, it wasn't exciting anyway... I would've rated him less than 1%.

Goku

Chance and Want: IT'S OVER 9000!

That is, it's like 1% divided by 9000. So in percentage, with rounding, that comes out to, oh... 0%.

Hades

Chance: 1%
I don't know if the Palutena leak is real, but it looks pretty good and nobody's disproven it yet... Not to mention, I didn't think Hades was likely anyway.

Want: 20%
I'd rather see Palutena or Medusa, or no newcomer for Kid Icarus.

Predictions:
Arino: 0.7%
Who dat?
Other M Ridley: 40%
On the one hand, they changed Samus to The Other M. On the other hand, the Samus Other M design isn't ass, it's sleeker and I don't mind it at all. Ridley's Other M design is chunky and his face looks awful, and it's unusual as far as Ridley designs. They can mix and match if they want.

[Hades the Magnificent]

As for the other guy....

look at that smug mug...
He's certainly interesting as a character, pretty popular too, but I saw nothing unique as a fighter.
He's got pretty big competition in the form of the Snake Lady that could do that whole job he has of running the underworld only more efficiently.
As well as that muscular human with whom he never saw, interacted with or probably even knows.
25%.

a) You'd be smug, too, if you were as handsome as I am. Goddesses kill for this body. Why you should have seen what Palutena did when I... [edited by a moderator: please pay attention to our Code of Conduct]
b) You haven't heard of my "Devastation Ensemble?" It's quite devastating, you know.
c) You have no idea what you're talking about. Next to me, Little Miss Medusa is like a sweet, cuddly bunny. Besides, she hires lame minions like Tanatos.
d) Since he never even bothered to show up, then he obviously isn't important. Besides, I'm Lord of the Underworld; I outrank all petty humans!

Hey, Hades, if Groose has food poisioning, why did I see this just 20 minutes ago?
View attachment 10681

He doesn't have "food poisioning." He has "food poisoning."

Besides, he probably just forgot to log out of his account or something.

 

[colder_than_ice]

Shadow has been added to the popularity chart and placed 153rd, he's second to last but still very far ahead of Adam. Paper Mario fell 31 spots from 16th to 47th.

Goku
Chance: 0% - Because he's from a manga.
Want: 0% - He's really not welcome here.

@ Hades the Magnificent
So you want to know what I think of your chances? I actually think you have a small shot. You seemed to have replaced Medusa as the main villain of the series (good for you, she had no sense of humour), and your very popular. The main thing standing in your way is your arch nemesis Palutena. Your probably going to hate me for saying this but I think she pretty much kills your chances, as she's both more popular and iconic than you are. Overall I'd give you about an 11% chance.

Wait you want to know how much I want you in SSB4 too? I'd actually love to see you in! You bring so much personality to the table and your one of Nintendo's best modern villains. So I'm going to give you a 67% want rating. Please don't tell Groose I'm rooting for you, he'll probably ban me from playing this game.

When life gives you freaky alien lemons, make freaky alien lemonade.

Goku's chances: 0% - ...
Want: 0% - This is seriously close to Sandbag bad for me. Not only do I want no non-video game characters in Smash ever but I've never cared for Dragon Ball.

Hades' chances: 3% - I think the Palutena leak is legit, and even if I didn't, I would still highly doubt Hades would ever be considered over her.
Want: 30% - Palutena deserves the slot the most. Viridi is my favorite character from Uprising so she'd be my next pick (too bad she's done). Hades is a distant third.

Chance: No...Just no. Why in the hell is he such a popular request in the first place? Masahiro Sakurai explicitly stated that there will be no fourth-party characters in Smash.
Oh yeah, the rating. 0%

Want: 0%
I really liked reading Dragon Ball as a kid, but seriously? Why is he here? If he seriously made it in, even with the entire Elite 4 candidates....I don't know what I would do.

Hades
Chance: 37%
Even though I doubt his chances, I still feel inclined to the possibility of him being playable. Nevertheless, it's Palutena who's taking the gold back home.

Want: 85%
I've never played Kid Icarus Uprising, but I have seen Chuggaconroy's LP of the game, and he is absolutely hilarious. I'm hoping that he might make it in as someone who either takes part in Pit's codecs, or who will appear as a boss.

Quadruple zeroes. I know Hades technically has some chance, but whatever. If Sakurai is dense enough to unfairly give one of his franchises way more reps than it deserves, then I'll eat everything I'm wearing right now. Palutena's the only possible KI newcomer, with Medusa riding her coattails if we get a last-minute semi-clone or something.

DBZ is massively overrated, as is Hades and Uprising's writing in general.

/opinions and reasoning

 

[FalKoopa]

Long Time, No See, Hades.

Anyways, on to Goku.
Likelihood: 0%
I think anyone who believes he has a chance is deluding himself. Seriously, Smash has nothing to do with him.

DO NOT WANT: Over 9000% (or 0% in want)
DBZ is overrated. I don't outright hate Goku, and in fact I used to be a DBZ fan when I was younger, but the thought of Goku in Smash makes my blood boil.

Hades:
Likelihood: 0%
NOPE. He's too unlikely, even after Viridi and Phosphora bit the dust.

Want: 0%
I'll make it very clear that I do not hate the character. However, he is popular for his speech and trolly mannerisms, which I believe do not translate well into a playable character. So, I'd much prefer him as a boss, which has a bigger chance of preserving his taunting nature.

Wild Gunman x 5

 

[YoshiandToad]

Goku
Chance: 0%
I knew this day would come.

As long as Sakurai doesn't move the goal posts again like he did when he included Snake I think it's safe to assume Goku of Dragon Ball Z fame has no hope in hell. Besides; Lucario's already confirmed to be back in, why would you want another clone with a clone voice?

Want: 0%
I actually was a huge DBZ fan as a kid. Hell, I even buy the games occasionally now.
But I wasn't exactly over the moon when Sakurai suddenly added 3rd parties in because I knew it wouldn't end there with requests to try and overcome yet more boundaries.

Including Goku will make it so we not only get more and more anime/cartoon requests(Expect Vegeta, Luffy, Naruto, Toriko, Ichigo, Various Kill La Kill, Natsu, Finn the Human, Homer Simpson, South Park, Mickey Mouse, Spongebob Squarepants, Peter Griffin and Mordacai and Rigby requests if this happens) but then people are going to start requesting even stupider stuff more often like the occasionally seen Youtubers and in. This is not a Smash I want to see.

Hell, I like Goku just fine(despite him being a ****ty family man and always turning up AFTER at least one of his friends die horribly), and I like Shonen Jump just fine too. Which is why I'm buying the Smash Bros. style cross over game they're in(J Stars Victory VS) instead of asking for them in Smash Bros.

AND BECAUSE THERE WAS GOKU RATED TODAY HERE'S MY FAVORITE DBZ FIGHT

...goddamn I love Kuririn/Krillin. Destructo Disc. Always outmatched yet never abandons his friends. Far better family man than Goku. Saves Goku's son way more than Goku bothers to do. Always dives in to save his friends rather than waiting twenty episodes for them to be on death's door despite the considerable power difference. What a guy.

Krillin/Kuririn want: 10000% Strongest human around. Tienshinwho?

Actually screw it can we have Goku and Kuririn?

Spoiler

Best team of best friends.
Hades
Chance: 3%
Palutena, Medusa, and the mighty Hades is by far and away above being controlled by mere mortals. What is this even? I could see him as a boss or a Codec style call however. Not an AT. That would mean he'd serve the humans and that's just not on at all.

Want: 0%
I'm afraid the best things about Hades; aka the witty writing and banter will translate poorly into a game where you kick the teeth out of your opponent. In fact this is the main reason I'm not supportive of ANY Kid Icarus Uprising characters including Palutena; the appeal comes from the incredibly overrated writing. Tell a great joke once; everyone laughs. Repeat ad-nauseum and everyone eventually groans.

Like what I said about Palutena(and all other KI characters) repetition isn't the pinnacle of humour despite what Youtube Poop used to make out.

If Hades is going to be a reoccurring character in Kid Icarus(and indeed we are actually getting more Kid Icarus games) I will change my tune, but currently I don't count any character who appears in one game as a Nintendo All Star...and yes; that stretches to the Mother boys controversially too.

That reasoning aside, I have one more reason I don't want him as playable; Hades is prime boss material and it's a rare thing where I'd rather have a character in another role than a playable. Kamek as an Assist Trophy appeals more to me than a playable Kamek for example and Hades is pretty much in my top three perfect boss choices.

I hate Dragon Ball. I hate the use of Goku to overcome any problem, I hate the lack of characterization, I hate how it drags on, I hate how GT is a giant fanfic, I hate how the Frieza, Android, and Buu arks all fallow the same style(Miner Villains/Henchamn show up, fight, Goku is incapacitated, lesser heroes beat stronger villain, Big Bad appears, lesser heroes lose, Goku wins, filler). It is overrated trash in my eyes. Hell, for as much flack is it might get, at least Naruto has good characterization, and shows that other characters besides the hero are strong.

Nominating Lucas (The Wizard) x5

 

[Deleted member]

Ah man, I had an Arino post set up and everything... but I did randomly get tied up so this was definitely for the best.

Goku

0% Chance: 4th party, manga origins. He may be insanely popular but Sakurai would never open the floodgates for anime/manga requests.

0% Want: I am a huge DragonBall fan. Grew up watching the anime on Toonami, probably saw the whole series through about three times over the years it was on re-runs. Visited a DragonBall fan site, and then another, and then another for about five years. I've made DragonBall movesets, when I was a pre-teen I made fan fiction for it and I have about ten DragonBall games. I've read all the manga and I know who probably has the biggest power level between Legendary Super Saiya-jin Broly and Super Perfect Cell. I wholeheartedly love this series. (Except for GT).

All of that in mind, no. No no no. The fact I'm a fan only makes it more cringe-worthy that Goku would be the gateway for serious anime requests.

One of the best things said on this subject so far was by @ YoshiandToad , why have Goku in Smash when you can play as him in an anime crossover game? That's where he belongs: he's an anime superstar, not a video game one. DragonBall may have loads of video games, but we're getting into a very bad place if that's all you need to get into Smash Bros. Next up: newcomer bids for Tiger Woods and Lego.

Hades

8% Chance: He largely has the same problem as equally great rep Porky Minch: not enough space to add every good villain. When Sakurai is bound to add Palutena over two antagonists, Medusa takes the obvious spot for villain. Hades just doesn't have the exposure those two do and though he could easily have a unique set, practically every character in this series qualifies for that.

The small chance he does have is due to the fact he's the most fitting antagonist for Pit from Uprising, in my opinion. I know there are big Medusa fans, and I want both Medusa and Hades over Palutena, but the way that game's plot goes, it's blatantly obvious Hades is the true antagonist. I'd go as far as to say he's the true antagonist of the entire franchise and is responsible for the events of all its games. His shape-shifting and magic would also make for a great set but again, it's Kid Icarus, where games randomly have Metroids flying around and Pit turns into a Gundam.

100% Want: This character is one of the very best that has come out of any Nintendo studio in the last ten years. He's a classic archetype of self-assured, egotistical villain who fits perfectly as the anti-thesis to Pit's selfless and courageous struggle against the forces of evil. His dialogue in that game is hilarious. The multi-segment boss fight is really fun, I'd love to see it inspire a moveset.

To me Sakurai proved he knows what makes a genuinely good video game with Uprising and Hades is a large part of that. You need a great villain to make a great franchise and that's precisely what Sakurai gave Kid Icarus, at the same time as building on the characterization of every other character and grounding it in a believable lore. Medusa may have been around for longer, but the series was dead for so long, I hardly think it matters.

N x5

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Goku:

Chance: 0% - Obviously.

Want: 5% - The small 5% are because I think DBZ is decent, and I think Goku could make for an actually fun character. However, I'd still hate the floodgates he'd open, and I simply do prefer Smash as being video game characters only, so it's still a big no from me.

Hades:

Chance: 5% - Palutena knocks him out of the park, and there's simply just not room for a 3rd KI rep.

Want: 25% He'd be okay cool I guess.

Hades is a pretty cool guy, eh manipulates souls and doesn't afraid of anything.

Seriously though he's absolutely boss... literally... he's a boss. He's so powerful in fact that Pit can't possibly match hims even with the three sacred treasures...


Now, I'm not normally one to bring up Canon in smash bros but when it comes to Hades I think it's worth comparing him with other Bosses that made the jump to playable, or might as the case may be.

Bowser can be beaten with a fire flower, something Mario always has in smash.
DeDeDe can be beaten with Inhale or any of Kirby's abilities he has in smash.
Ganondorf can be beaten with Light Magic or the Masters Sword, things Zelda and Link have in Smash.
Ridley can be beaten by Samus' normal weapons, which she has in smash.

All of these are challenging fights (well, maybe not bowser, but ya know), but that only goes to show how close the characters power levels are, therefore showing how balanced the match-up is.


Hades however could beat Pit in one blow, and can go toe to toe with what we presume to be Pit's new final smash as a worthy adversary... Hades is just way too powerful to be a playable character! It'd be belittling his abilities to make him a boss really, but he'd at least be closer to his immense power.

Goku currently has .28% chance. I calculated in a 9.2%; had this not exist, Goku would probably have the lowest chances in this game with an outright 0%. As it stands right now, he is beating Chancellor Cole and Banjo. He currently has more than double their scores!

Even if 100 people came in here and gave him zeroes, he would still have more than double what Athena Cykes, Yarne and Owain Tag Team, and Scrooge McDuck have.

 

[Cheezey Bites]

To be fair he probably is more likely than Scrooge McDuck or Chancellor Cole because he actually has requests... But they're massively inflated so ya...

Banjo however is way more likely than Goku! Like 100* as likely minimum... even if he's still far less than 0.1%

Oh look. The god of the Underworld took over RTC. Whoop dee friggin' doo.
It amuses me how @ Hades the Magnificent thinks he can strike fear into our hearts and cause chaos. I challenged him to a duel once and he never responded. He is a pathetic coward, only this and nothing more.

Now let's get to ratin' these "characters," shall we?

Goku Chance: 10%
People underestimate the power of Miiverse.
The Earthbound fanbase has been trying to get Nintendo to acknowledge the Mother series for years, and they never did. Then Miiverse comes in and qcc that in the span of a mere 2 months.
If Miiverse can make Nintendo realize Earthbound has a fanbase, it can do anything.
I'm not saying he is likley, I am just saying he is not completely out of the question.

Goku Want: 30%
To be honest, I wouldn't be all that made if he made the roster. He is a very famous character, and has had some decent video games.
The only thing I am worried about is all the butthurt reactions, and the amount of stupid requests this would open the gate to.


Hades Chance: 35%
Has a pretty solid chance. The only thing blocking him off is Palutena, who is far more likely. Though he would bring some cool stuff to the table, and Smush Neds Moar Villames, so I'd say except for that Palutena issue, he has a decent shot.

Hades Want: 66.6%
As much as I hate that coward, he would bing some cool stuff to the table, and is one of the best KI newcomers. Right next to Palutena, he is the one I think should make the cut.
Badcally, if I were to choose 3 KI charcters, they'd easily be Pit, Palutena, and Hades.

The Hood of Nature is back in town.

Goku-Son?
Chances: 00.00%- With Goku being a mostly multiplatform hailing character from a non-video game franchise that isn't owned by Nintendo, it's a no brainer. I don't even need PVC, Hades! Miiverse doesn't mean anything, neither do requests for him (Waluigi?)

In fact, there's two other Akira Toriyama characters that make more sense given their roots and current works.

Crono and Slime. Started on Nintendo, mostly Nintendo.

Want: 00.00%- I don't want my Manga and Smash to mix, K?

Hades- ENEMY OF THE HOOD!
Pros
+Main Villain of KI series
+KI's getting a new slot at this point. Otherwise they wouldn't have all this coverage.
+Either him or Medusa would likely be the third slot.
Cons
-Palutena or Medusa murdering the Magnificent's chances? Yep.
-Hades may be too recent. This isn't PSABR.

OVERALL RATING: 12%

Want: 100%- Sure, he's the enemy of my boss, but hey, more KI characters is awesome! Just don't think about getting over Pretty Palutena. And Viridi is DCed, sadly.

Although on the flipside if the Mother fanbase has been trying to get Nintendo to acknowledge their favourite series for years and only just managed it, I think it's fair to say they're likely to ignore the constant barrage on inane babble from Miiverse for a few more years yet.

@ Hades the Magnificent
Go home, Hades. Just go home.

Ineligable, and even ignoring his manga roots his games are more associated with Playstation...

There's a certain other series with art from Akira Toriyama I'd like to see represented first.

if it where a medical practitioner it's name would be Agon Quest.

Because it'd be a doctor.

Dr. Agon Quest

DRAGON QUEST!!

Spoiler

That same pun was actually used in Dragon Quest 5...

Hades:
Hades is a pretty cool guy, eh manipulates souls and doesn't afraid of anything.

Seriously though he's absolutely boss... literally... he's a boss. He's so powerful in fact that Pit can't possibly match hims even with the three sacred treasures...


Now, I'm not normally one to bring up Canon in smash bros but when it comes to Hades I think it's worth comparing him with other Bosses that made the jump to playable, or might as the case may be.

Bowser can be beaten with a fire flower, something Mario always has in smash.
DeDeDe can be beaten with Inhale or any of Kirby's abilities he has in smash.
Ganondorf can be beaten with Light Magic or the Masters Sword, things Zelda and Link have in Smash.
Ridley can be beaten by Samus' normal weapons, which she has in smash.

All of these are challenging fights (well, maybe not bowser, but ya know), but that only goes to show how close the characters power levels are, therefore showing how balanced the match-up is.


Hades however could beat Pit in one blow, and can go toe to toe with what we presume to be Pit's new final smash as a worthy adversary... Hades is just way too powerful to be a playable character! It'd be belittling his abilities to make him a boss really, but he'd at least be closer to his immense power.


Chance: 0.5%
He's boss material at the most...

Want: 0%
He would totally ruin the balance of the game!



Slime*5
(Slime Goo-ing to slop there. I think 50 is ooze-ily high enough so I can flush to the slop of the re-noms when Squeenix make a ooze-ficial announcement. Squelch, Cheezey's goo-ing to finish off nominating Hero of Light, and maybe goo Chocobo so we've finished off the potential Square Enix reps, and then see what takes his fancy... Goo-d-bye rater!)

Can't really say that I agree, unfortunately. Canon really doesn't concern me. This is the game where Wii Fit Trainer can take down a team of Bowser, Link, and Samus without batting an eyelash.

...Smash's "canon" is my favorite. You can have insane matches, or you can have epic matches.

I know,
I am just saying that Miiverse does have an impact on Nintendo.
I was just using the Mother series as an example. For years and years Nintendo was pretending the games never existed. Even after multiple petitions, fan-sites, and other things, Nintendo never acknowledged it. Then Miiverse comes around, and the fans flood there and are basically spamming "Bring Earthbound to VC," and suddenly Nintendo realizes that people want it.
So basically, Nintendo seems to actually hear Miiverse' cries

It sometimes seems like Nintendo is allergic to money or something. Mothers probably got a bigger cult following in the west these days than Japan even. Releasing the trilogy on the VC would likely make tons ofcash. Also would probably make me appreciate Lucas' existence if I got to play his game! Hell Nintendo; release Muramase Castle too and I'll probably stop giving Takamaru a hard time too! Release Roy's game and maybe people will even want him back in Smash on his own merits rather than Melee nostalgia!

Seriously though; 14 years after Ness first debuted in Europe's Smash 64 release have we finally got his actual game officially released. I repeat; 14 Years. That's insanely poor work Nintendo.
