Rate Their Chances - Smash Ultimate Edition! Day 672: Five Most Likely First and Third Parties for Smash 6, and Final Goodbyes

[Blankiturayman]

Tidus (Cue HAHAHAHA! for the 100th time.)

Chance: 5%
I'll start this off saying he's got steep competition, which is probably obvious to most of us here. Both within SE and FF alike, but hey, it's not like he doesn't have merits. I remember FFX being a pretty known game for a while. Often topping the RPG lists on PS2. Plus, it got a remaster a few years ago, which stands up to the game being beloved, and SE knowing as much. While I don't think he has a long shot, he has his merit. I could see it happening, but I do find other FF and SE characters likelier, and that hurts his chances.

Want: 45%
So, I'll be honest. To this day I haven't played FFX despite knowing about it for a while. I know Tidus more from Dissidia, which I did play quite a lot, and I really liked him there. If the moveset was anything like in those games that would be pretty fun, I imagine he'd be a quick character with a couple spells, plus his blitzball. There's also the music that he'd bring with him, and I gotta say, FFX's regular battle theme which is most likely the one they'd go with, is one of my favorites in the series. Even if it was just two tracks due to Uematsu (I'd imagine this is the only big "hurdle" in terms of content here) it'd be pretty good. Only reasons this want rating isn't higher is mostly because I've yet to play FFX proper, plus me preferring other FF reps first (like Terra or Black Mage) nonetheless, I'd be happy with him.

Nominations: Zero (Mega Man) x5
Prediction: 4.3% for Nate

 

[Cutie Gwen]

So is it Teedus or Tiedus?

Chance: 1%. This is certainly an uphill battle, it'd require another FF character and there's a huge amount of potential character Square has, both in and out of FF. I don't really see Tidus stand out as a clear cut character for FF for some reason.

Want: 40%. I haven't gotten around to experiencing FFX yet but hey, I do love me that main battle theme and Tidus is highly unique to me as he's one of the few characters who'd have a perfect taunt. Imagine your opponent SDs and what do you do? The most overly forced laugh in history. Amazing, I'm still surprised that some people see the laugh as evidence that the game's VA work is bad completely missing the context and how both Tidus and Yuna start laughing normally after a while

Miriam x5

 

[fogbadge]

The guy who Shulk reminds me of.

really, i dont see it

So is it Teedus or Tiedus?

the former

 

[Pinguino21v]

So is it Teedus or Tiedus?

It's Teedus.

Chance: 0%
Even having another Square Enix is not assured, a Final Fantasy one even less, so Tidus doesn't have a chance. In the Final Fantasy cast, he would have to compete with other names that, I think would get way more chances than him: Terra, Sephiroth, a generic black mage, the FFI Warrior of Light, or even a FFXIV character are more probable, if not more interesting, than Tidus.

Want: 2%
If a new FF character must break into Smash, that's defenitively not Tidus that I want. The one I would largely prefer would be the protagonist Warrior of Light from FFXIV. He would bring a MMO rep and several jobs in the balance, making him a jack of all trades of the Final Fantasy lore. That would be dope.

Nominate Thrall again

 

[BlueEyedGrimmbat]

Abstaining on Tidus. I've been meaning to play FFX but haven't yet, and I feel that until I do I can't give him a fair rating.

Noms: Amiya x5

 

[waddledeeonredyoshi]

Abstaining on Tidus since I know next to nothing about this era of Final Fantasy.

Nate Adams: 3.88%
Deltarune content x5

 

[Lyncario]

Tidus
Chance: 0.000001%
Being real, I probably overestimate his chances with this, though I do want to say that there is an alternate timeline where this happens for some reason. And said reason is because of how FFX is very popular in Japan, like, the second most popular FF game over there if I remember right. So I give a small shadow of a point. Otherwise.... yikes. FF characters and content have ridiculous copyright on them, as we can see with Cloud and how there was an entire paragraph of copyright dedicated to FFVII on the E3 Smash direct of I think 2018. And while FFX is popular in Japan, Tidus is also not a popular request, and I don't even think that he's on the level Cloud was back in Sm4sh (between 1/4 and 1/3 of the request for an FF character according to Sakurai). FFX and FFX-2 are on Switch which is I guess nice but it doesn't help his chances. And also if Nintendo even wanted to have another FF character, they could also pick Terra for a Nintendo pick, or even the protag of FFXVI for a relevant pick. It's pretty safe to say that Tidus has next to no chances at best.
Want: 99%
FFX is my favorite Final Fantsay, over bot FFVII and FFIX (who are the other 2 FFs in my top 3 FF games), It's even my fourth favorite jrpg on PS2 (only behind Nocturne, KH2, and P3, which I all find to be masterpieces in their own right), ans my fifth favorite PS2 game overall (add DMC3 to the list and that's my top 5 PS2 games), so yeah, I do want him quite a lot. I think that he has a really cool design, and he's a really cool character in my opinion, hell, I even like his famous laugh. He would also have a very cool moveset, and also FFX content, even if not much. So yeah, I would like to have Tidus in Smash quite a lot, even if he has next to no chances at best.

Predictions:
Nate: 3.6%

Nominations: Xion as Sora's echo x10 if I got the 5 extra noms for the paragraphs, otherwise just x5 (I can't really tell if what I wrote was enough on mobile).

 

[YoshiandToad]

Teedious
Chance: 0%
Tidus was a big deal back in the day, Final Fantasy 10 was one that seemed to grab everyone's attention the most since the legendary 7th installment, and if I recall it getting a sequel was a surprise to many.

However since then Lightning of FFXIII has had three starring roles and she in turn was replaced by Noctis in FFXV and with FFXVI on the horizon and Final Fantasy 7 getting a unique 'remake', I can't see any way Tidus is going to get the go ahead for Square's second Final Fantasy character at this precise moment in time.

Maybe if X gets a remake in the distant future in a similar vein to what Cloud's currently getting Tidus will have a decent shot, but as of right now he has no real reason to be promoted over his peers...and even then they may go with Yuna over him due to her skillset being far more obvious and different from Cloud, offering a female character(although I imagine Lightning would get the go ahead in this situation) and her being the star of the second X game.

Want: 30%
Tidus is in a weird position for me where I don't dislike him, but I also can think of many many characters I'd want over him. If Smash was a celebration of Final Fantasy only, absolutely Tidus would be someone I'd root for, but I can think of many other third parties, square reps and even a couple of other FF reps I'd want over him.

Nominations:
Alex Kidd Mii Costume X 5

 

[SharkLord]

Alright, first things first:

ANYWAYS

Yeah, not much more to say beyond what everyone else has been saying. FFX is beloved and popular in Japan, but he suffers from the competition of other Final Fantasy characters. Out of all them, another FF7 character would work the most, so they could give the game proper representation beyond just Cloud. He also lacks popularity in the Smash fandom and doesn't have much recency at the moment. Lastly, there's also the question of the artwork and soundtrack, which would be needed for a full Challenger's Pack. Since Final Fantasy rights are quite literally all over the place and Nintendo only really negotiates with the company that owns the games themselves, that could throw a wrench in Tidus' plans. Overall, chance is 10%, want is 40%.

Nomination: Klonoa x10 (That's enough for the extra noms, right?)

Remasters and ports don't have quite the same level of impact as a ground-up game that was heavily pushed by the marketing and then went completely off the rails to start it's own timeline.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Today's that day, huh?

****ing Tidus Chance: 3%

Admittedly, my only experience with the character comes from Kingdom Hearts, so I'll try to give a decent and reasonable rating in spite of that.

KHX was a big game for it's day, but besides that... I really don't see what Tidus has that puts him a cut above the rest as a candidate for Smash. Fan demand is practically non-existent and there are other, bigger Square characters that would probably take precedence over him. Not to mention the countless other FF protagonists in particular that he would have to compete with.

Want: 1%

Once again, my only experience with Tidus is from playing Kingdom Hearts. The additional laughing memes his inclusion would be funny, but that's hardly a reason for me to want him. There are so many other newcomers I'd be far happier with, even ones I'm more neutral on, and when it comes to Square in particular, I'm rooting for Sora by far.

Tidus Pod Challenge

Chance: 0%
Yeah. . . I don't see this happening. We have already heard about Sakurai's thought process with regards to a Final Fantasy rep back with interviews or columns back when Cloud was revealed for Smash 4, and unless I'm seriously misremembering something, Tidus wasn't even in consideration back then. While it may be true that him and Final Fantasy X are very popular in Japan, I don't think that anything has changed with regards to Sakurai's priorities. What also doesn't help is that as a third-party character, he's inherently in competition with a large selection of their characters, like Pinocchio, Super Saiyan God Goku, Lady Triangle Breasts and Mrgrgr. And really, I don't think that an already represented third-party franchise double-dipping with this Fighter Pass is not going to happen.

Want: Abstain
My only Final Fantasy experience is IX (which I seriously need to continue playing one of these days. . .). So, I don't think I really am in a position to give a rating.

Predicting Nate Addams to get around 1.01%

[chocolatejr9]

Abstain. I know nothing about FFX. Although I have to ask, how is the legal situation with that one? I heard one of the main reasons FFVII was snubbed so hard was because it's a legal minefield or something. Is FFX in a similar spot?

Nominations: Billy Hatcher x5

 

[amageish]

Tidus

Chance: 3%. 2%. Tidus strikes me as just kind of in the awkward realm of "Oh, yeah, that character seems possible if they felt like adding them." He doesn't really have anything going against him beyond competition... so much competition... Competition amongst Square reps, competition within Final Fantasy, and arguably some competition within FFX itself as Yuna is also a common crossover character choice when repping FF in other games...

I'm giving the number I am as I feel like I'd give him around a 12% chance if I were 100% certain we were getting a FF rep. He's a plausible pic, but I think Terra and, yes, FFVII both provide strong competition for sure. FFXIV is also a potential dark horse, given how it's been paying Square's bills so effectively these last few years... So, 12% chance out of 100% and I'd give "Concept: A Final Fantasy Rep" about a 20% chance right now... Ergo, 3%... I think... There is a non-zero chance my math is very wrong there. Actually, roughly 2%. My math was wrong... I am very tired and forgot that 20 is a fifth of 100... Whoops...

Want: 95%. There are very few ways that you could add FF music into the game without making me happier. And you know what they say: When it has a good score, it gets a high want score... Yay homonyms.

Edit: Also forgot to do noms/predictions. Moogle x5 and 5% for Nate...

Hajime doesn't have a thread, so he can't be nominated.

No, that's (kind of) wrong? I made a DR protagonists thread a while back, but it was never added to the directory...

Also, while I'm tagging you: Do we need to make threads if we rate someone as a Mii Costume? As there is a character I plan on nominating a Mii Costume of who doesn't currently have a thread... I will make her one if I have to, but it will be at least somewhat cringe. I think the character getting a Mii Costume is more probable then people would want it to be, but it'd still be somewhat cringe.

Woo-hoo! Thank you.

 

[Sid-cada]

Tidus

Chance - 0.05% - Final Fantasy has proves to be somewhat difficult to work with due to how it's rights are everywhere. On top of that, Tidus is a more middle of the road character in terms of Final Fantasy; typically there are more famous and notable characters within his own franchise. I'd personally expect other characters to be chosen before him, as the completion is way too tight.

Want - 45% - I'd rather have a NES character for Final Fantasy. I don't care much about the franchise otherwise.

Nate

Chance: 0 to 0.1%. Chances are, Jinbanyan is clearly more likely to be the YoKai Watch Rep then Nate is. And if he where to show up, he would be a spirit or a Mii Costume. That is how I see it.

Want: 50%. I pretty sure Jinbanyan would be the best choice, but Nate could be a fun character to play as. But overall, while Nate would be a decent character, I don’t see him as the first YoKai Watch Rep.

Prediction: Ezio (10%)

Noms: 5 for Stage: Bowser’s Castle

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

Nate Adams

Chance: 5% - Yo-Kai watch seemed like a shoe-in during the Smash 4 days but it proved to be only a flash in the pan. Level-5 is currently not what it used to be, breaking away from Nintendo exclusivity and having its' own internal struggles leaving several games in Development Hell. Alongside that, Nate also has competition to deal with, from Jibanyan in his own series to other Level-5 reps like Professor Layton who has a more consistent and resilient fanbase. Granted, he was the protagonist of the anime, but like other Monster series, the focus is primarily on the creatures themselves rather than the humans, so more than likely we'd get series mascot Jibanyan.

Nate's series does have one advantage, and that's the fact that the Play Nintendo section on Nintendo's website has a big collection of Yo-kai Watch characters in the Friends section while series like Layton and Inazuma Eleven are nowhere to be seen. However I still think that the series as a whole isn't in a good spot right now.

Want: 10% - I don't particularly care for the franchise and was pretty turned off by a lot of the toilet humor in the anime. Nate could be the Yokai Watch equivalent to Pokemon Trainer, which would be pretty cool. Though there are other series I'd rather see, and within level-5 I think Layton definitely deserves the spot more for how well it's stood the test of time. He's had fan support for years before Yo-kai watch had gained traction, and I think fans would be happiest to see him instead. Nate, of course, still has good merits! But there's other characters I'd personally rather see.

We already went over Yo-Kai Watch with Jibanyan's day, so there isn't much more to say regarding that. Jibanyan's by far the mascot character, and so they're the most likely Yo-Kai Watch rep. Nate could represent all the yokai on his own, but I doubt it. I'll award 10% for chance and 40% for want.

I predict Ezio to get about 18.94%, due to the Altair Mii (Something I'm interested in going over for the next day).

Nomination: Klonoa x5

 

[fogbadge]

you nay sayers no not of which you speak so its up to me to tell you what youre missing out on

the worlds greatest most average boy

chances: hmm 10% well they probably would go for jibanyan. now i dont think the mascot thing is written in stone but the number of cat yo-kai suggests to me that level-5 would insist on jibanyan. but while jibanyan is the mascot nyate is the main character of the franchise. hes the main character i all four main series games two out of three of the anime series. (the one where hes not its his daughter) which is different from most other monster collecting series where they have a different character each time whos mostly a blank avatar but nate is consistent and has his own defined traits. really nate in a team with jibanyan and whisper, not like the trainer like the duo, because they are the main trio in the games and anime. of course thats not the way they do things in smash. now as for sakurais thing about characters have to be "interesting" to play as well i would argue that he would be of course thought incenroar and terry were interesting. so level-5 is an odd position and yo-kai watch's popularity has taken a hit but for more niche series and far more seemingly random characters have gotten in so hes by no means impossible.

want: 100% i dont know if anyones noticed but i LOVE yo-kai watch. i love nate as a character and think he in a team with jibanyan and whisper would be amazing to be in smash. and he has lots of moveset potential. in yo-kai watch 4 her can help out in battles but even before that theres was loads of things. theres a paper fan that while used for comic effect launches people in a smash like style, theres a hammer he uses to take out zombies, a blaster with multiple settings, a drill for breaking rocks even a sword. really hes got enough to be a solo character without any wo-kai but like i said id want him to be a team character. i feel that barely anyone in the west gave yo-kai watch a fair chances which is a shame cause its a great series with great characters to included. its even had some impressive crossovers of its own having gotten stuff from NB, SE and universal to name a few. i would be so hyped to see this happen.

Chance: 0%
If we're getting a Yo-Kai Watch rep then it's most likely going to be Jibanyan. He's the mascot of the series and would probably be the easiest to work with. Nate getting in over Jibanyan would be like Red getting in over Pikachu in Smash 64. Of course they could maybe add Nate and give him a moveset that revolves around multiple Yo-Kai, but I doubt they'd go through all of that effort when they could just add Jibanyan and call it a day. On top of this, there's the issue of the Yo-Kai series having to compete with fellow Level-5 character Professor Layton. Oh and if that wasn't enough, the Yo-Kai series has been dropping in popularity with each passing year so I doubt promoting it via Smash is a high priority for Nintendo.

Want: 0%
While I never got into Yo-Kai Watch, I'd be alright with Jibanyan I guess. Nate however just doesn't really appeal to me at all. He'd most likely either be like another Pokemon Trainer which seems like too much or fight by himself while incorporating Yo-Kai which would feel weird. I'd much prefer a simpler moveset from Jibanyan or any single Yo-Kai by themselves. Also when it comes to Level-5 reps I would much prefer Layton anyway.

well no red was the main character in only a few games while nate is the main character in all of them. also nate can do things by himself and wouldnt need to be like the PT
