Jin Kazama
Chance: 15%
When it comes to a Tekken rep in Smash, there are two characters that are most likely to represent the franchise: Heihachi Mishima and Jin Kazama. While it is pretty obvious that they would pick Heihachi due to Sakurai initially considering him back in Smash 4, to say Jin would not get in before Heihachi is kind of an understatement. Yeah sure, Heihachi has appeared in some crossovers but so is Jin and granted, some of these crossovers also features Heihachi alongside him, but Jin has been the main focus in some of these crossovers (Namco X Capcom, Project X Zone 1&2 in particular. He also appears in the front cover of the aforementioned games as well, expect for PXZ2, where he was replaced with Kazuya). Not to mention, Devil Jin (not a character, just his fighting style and his outfit that you can use on the Character Creation) appeared in Soul Calibur 5 as well. This really shows that they really care Jin just as much as they care for Heihachi.
So, in a situation where they can't have Heihachi in the game (which I highly doubt would happen, I gotta admit), then Jin is their secondary choice. But being from Bandai Namco, he really faces competition from other series like Tales, Dark Souls and many more. Plus, the whole 'whether Bamco will have a second fighter in Smash or not' and 'Tekken characters are harder to implement in Smash' statements are still in effect, so who knows at this point.

I would really appreciate it if Bamco were to put a Tekken character in Smash. While I'll be fine if it's Heihachi representing Tekken, it would pretty cool to give Jin the spotlight in Smash, just this once. That would make my dream come true as he's my most wanted character in Smash, but I can understand why they would have Heihachi first before him and I'll accept him, even if it means having Jin as the next Tekken rep.
