Black Shadow
Chance: 0%
I don't usually give 0 percents. When we started this characters actually had chances, but now we are stretching how many newcomers we can rate. F-Zero has been a dead franchise since the GameCube era, with Captain Falcon in Smash being its last, somewhat pitiful, dying breath as it hangs on to relevance before falling into obscurity hell. No way this guy gets in, even as a clone.
Want: 1%
Just to take Ganondorf's moveset since it is a fun moveset and I want Ganondorf to be overhauled. Other than that, don't care.
Marth/Roy Speaking English
Chance: 99%
They got away with it since they didn't have English VAs before Smash 4 (the OVA does
not count). However, not having English VAs for characters who have spoken audio English would be lazy, and Sakurai is
not lazy. Marth and Roy's VAs that they have currently are good and have voiced them multiple times already in Fates, Heroes, and Warriors. Why wouldn't they come back for Smash? I really don't see how people aren't giving this > 90%, there is almost no reason for them not to speak English in this iteration of Smash. The only reason this is 99 and not 100% is because there is a verrrry slight chance that Sakurai just considers it a tradition and calls it a day without having to hire English VAs, but come on guys. This is the only reason it wouldn't happen and it's barely likely.
Want: 100%
This would be great, FE characters' biggest strengths are their developed characters and personalities. How can this be expressed if they speak in a foreign language? With this I want there to be a dual audio addition because the Japanese voices are iconic, I just want to hear the English ones as well. Also, have updates to existing English voices. Have Wendee Lee voice Lyn like in Heroes and Warriors. Lyn should sound 18, not 40. (Wendee Lee voicing Lyn as a newcomer???) Plus, have Greg Chun voice Ike. He voices Ike in Heroes and he's great. Here is him reading a cheesecake recipe.
