I think we would have a better chance at reasonable and deserving reps, I dunno if Smash 4 is to be the last of the series after all.

I'm not nearly as confident in this as before, but I think there's still a pretty decent shot.

Want: 100%

Though I think going too far beyond that might actually be a bit too much.

iDOLM@STER's chances: 15%

A Mii outfit is possible, but that's about it. Not expecting that, either.

Want: 50%

As long as it's nothing more than a Mii costume, I wouldn't be bothered by it.

Idolm@ster Representation: 75%

Ok look, Namco has four really important franchises. They have Tekken, Tales of, IdolM@ster, and Pac-Man. The other 3 are already represented, in various ways. Idolm@s has representation in games like Tekken already, so why not smash? The board working on music contains tons of Im@s guys, meaning that Sakurai knows about it. It's a pretty big thing in Japan, so let's not be surprised once the series gets some type of representation.

And it appears that whoever was nominating that Super Mario Maker stage can finally stop doing so since it will finally happen.

Before anyone comments on it, yes I'm aware that Idolm@ster costumes got a higher chance and want rating than Idolm@ster representation including costumes. Not the most accurate rating that we've done.

Sorry I'm late; noms are updated.

OW the EDGE
Chance: 1%
Want: 0%
Not my favorite Sonic character. I like dark character archetypes, but the "dark edgy version of existing character" is undeniably boring. I'd prefer Tails or Knuckles.
Not to mention that Shadow's fine as an AT.
Hitstun
Chance: 1%
Want: abstain
Sakurai doesn't really seem to do more than simply acknowledge the existence of the competitive scene. As an outsider, I don't care one way or another, and probably wouldn't even notice if they did change it. Still, they do seem to be slowing down with balance updates, especially considering Mewtwo deserves to get buffed pretty well, as do Zelda and Samus.
Nom: 3DS stage to WiiU x5

Predictions: SoPo - 7.5%
Gooey: 0.1%

Original the Character

Chance - 0% - Third Party! Assist Trophy! Double Whammy! C'mon, c'mon, go for the triple... Stop!

Want - 0% - WINNER! Perfect game!


Hitstun increase

Chance - 0.01% - I only see this if the developers thin they well and truly messed up. I'd think they'd try to balance the characters around the mechanics then bend the mechanics to the fighters...

Want - 50% - Eh... Don't care.


Predictions

Gooey - 1.23% - Old and irrelevent.

Solo Climber - 18.25% - Removing the gimick should be unpopular...

Wait what... a Super Mario Maker stage? Dang it, Sakurai truly felt under control of the gods of MUH RELEVANCE RECENCY!!!!1!1!! :mad:

... just kidding, actually I think it's pretty cool to make a big hitter like this acknowledged in Smash right now rather than after five or six years in the next Smash game. It's not like it's some sort of random niche game being represented for the sake of it, as the game allows for a pretty unique stage gimmick that may make it feel like more than just a promotional thing, and a stage isn't as intrusive as a playable character. At the same time it's maybe a gimmick I may find too intrusive for my liking...

It also had been confirmed to be a paid stage, which means that brand new stages can be sold individually, something I doubted was happening.

-----

Shadow chances: 0.2%
I suppose it could happen if Assist Trophies get promoted and Sakurai wants to give Sonic more playable representation... well, not likely.

Shadow want: 0%
Not interested, and I'd rather not see Smash fully embrace guest series by giving them more than one character. And if Sonic got another character, the only choices that would make sense would be Tails or Eggman imo.

-----

The one thing I have a feeling a lot of people will abstain for chances: 7.5%
If it happens, I'd expect the hitstun multiplier to not become anything higher than 0.43 (compared to the current 0.4), mostly due to balance concerns as the game I suppose was designed and balanced with the current hitstun multiplier in mind. It may happen if the developers judge it as something that could increase the game's balance and enjoyability, as it could potentially be made with the same state of mind as other minor universal things which happened in the last patch (one frame of invincibility removed for all rolls and spot dodges, plus moves with hitlag multiplier higher than 1 have their hitlag reduced against shield users).

Universal hitstun increase want: 75%
I'm far from a true competitive guy as I never go to tournaments (at least not at the moment), if anything I'm a competitive wannabe who prefers serious no item 1vs1 rather than party game FFA with items, but I'm curious to see if a slight increase to the hitstun multiplier may speed up the game a bit, something I'd gladly welcome. I've pretty much abandoned vanilla Smash 4 and now usually play on heavy gravity with equipment to make the game more exciting to play (smooth lander and shield degenerator), but in this configuration follow-ups are easier to do and I kinda doubt an hitstun increase would be necessary to make it even more exciting.

-----

Gooey prediction: 3.20%
I know it's a Kirby character and that's it, otherwise I don't know much about him.

Solo Ice Climber prediction: 6.54%
A lot of people don't see the point of bringing back Ice Climbers without their signature gimick.

Nominating:
(Rerate) Playable newcomer: Rayman x3
Playable newcomer: Dr. Lobe x2

And since we're getting an update at the end of the month (we get Smash DLC news... finally...) maybe it could be cool to do a few days of side discussions before the update happens. I think we could start to think about what we would be discussing about during the days before the updates, similar to how we did special days before the June Smash livestream. Ideally we will get another new contents approaching livestream, but I wouldn't be surprised if new DLC characters are announced coming out of nowhere considering we're currently during a period when Directs are on hiatus, so maybe we could start a special period during between 5 or 7 days before September 30th even if there's no Smash livestream announcement. Here are some ideas of what we could be discussing:

- Place your bets: who will be added in the new update?
- Most overrated, underrated, and accurately rated characters
- Most hype and deflating moments
- Favorite days of RTC DLC
- Balance changes wishlist for the new update

He's an assist trophy. There's practically no way he's getting in.

Yeah no. Give me Tails, Knuckles, or Eggman (or even Blaze).

Hitsun Increase

They've made some slight changes to things like rolls and hitlag. It could happen, but I doubt it.

Anything to allow for more followups is a-okay in my book.

Assist Trophy.

Want: 0%

I want Shadow but I've never liked the idea of him being playable. If we had to bring in another Sonic character (which I don't really want) I'd rather have Tails or Knuckles, they'd definitely make for more interesting characters than Shadow.

We should probably rate Knuckles at some point on that note. Might start nominating him after Lyn has her day.

That's the third prediction I win recently. Wonderful.

Abstain on hitstun.

Double zeroes.

It's been long since we last rated an Assist Trophy, huh? It shows. Not fond of any more Sonic characters, but at least prioritize one of the main trio over Shadow.

Agreed. Third party, Assist Trophy, and not major enough to be the next rep if Sonic somehow did get another character.

Shadow the Hedgehog:

Universal Hitstun Increase:
Chance: 0%
I don't think there is any possible way they are going to universally overhaul the game mechanics in any way. Individual character attacks and moves? Sure. Universally? No chance, it would require the game to be completely rebalanced. Every matchup would change as different combos became possible. It is way too drastic to possibly be implemented. Maybe in Smash 5.

Want: 0%
Not playing is not fun. The longer the Hitstun, the more time you spend not playing. Longer Hitstun leads to longer combos, which leads to longer periods of watching your opponent rack up damage while you literally do nothing.
Do not want. I enjoy actually playing the game.

Abstaining from the hit-stun increase concept.

Shadow


Chance: 0%

Though he may be a popular character from his home series, Shadow is already an Assist Trophy. Combine that with the fact he is third party and is not the most important character to the Sonic franchise when compared to the likes of Tails, Knuckles, and Dr. Eggman and you'll see that Shadow's chances aren't looking good right now.

Want: 20%

I'm personally a big fan of Shadow myself, but I would much rather see Tails join the roster first.

Chance: 0.2%
He's an assist trophy, and he's third party. I'll give the Ultimate Life Form a small score of 0.2%.
Don't think he'll be able to Chaos Control his way onto the roster...

Want: 2.5%
I've got nothing against Shadow and I'm a pretty big Sonic fan, but Tails is the only character from the Sonic series that I would like to see join the roster one day.


Universal Hitstun Increase
Chance: 11.2%
I would sooner think that they would decrease the amount of hitstun before increasing it (not really). Anyway, I doubt this will happen, and if it did it probably wouldn't be enough to even be noticeable just like how I can't notice the single invincibility frame taken out of rolls and spot dodges. The game is somehow balanced around how much hitstun there is now, and I don't think Sakurai and the development team is about to change it all up. I'll give the concept of a hitstun increase a chance of 11.2%.
At least there's still more hitstun than in Brawl...

Want: 73.5%
It depends on how much more hitstun they add; I wouldn't want too much more, but I think a little more hitstun for easier follow ups would be a nice thing. Especially since I main Toon Link whose frame data isn't the greatest, so I feel that a hitstun increase would be beneficial for the character.

In one side he is a really popular (well also has a big hatebase, but whatever), in the other side, he already is a Assist Trophy and is a Third-Party character.

Want: 65%

Actually I like Shadow... in some games where he has a better characterizacion than only be "OW THE EDGE" (but I don't hate him in that games... just give me a worse impression), but still I like his style and his powers.

Shadow the Hedgehog

Chance: 0%
While he's still getting plenty of requests, there are certain issues that pertain to the fact that he's an AT and a third party. So despite his status as an Ensemble Darkhorses, many Sonic fans can agree that the main villain (Eggman) and the rest of Team Sonic (Tails and Knux) has superiority over him.

Want: 80%

While I would love any Sonic character (especially Eggman), Shadow would be a great character to use. Chaos Control and his other abilities would make up for a unique moveset based on spacing and stage control for those who still think he would be a Sonic clone. Then again, I've never truly hated the Ultimate Life form unlike the others who say that he became a living edge joke over the years.

SoPo:
Chance: 1%
Want: 0%
The ice climbers are made by the fact they're a team. Splitting them has always made them much weaker. Now, if we get a buffed version of one...that would be a complete letdown. The pair mechanic made them unique. That's be like them making a much loved character into a hollow shell of himself, like a DK without the carry ability, or a Kirby who can't swallow, or a Ganondorf who doesn't use moves derived from his games (wait...)
If they are coming back, they had better come back together. I still think that, since they were working on the WiiU and just ended up on the cutting room floor, that they should release them as free DLC for the WiiU only. Besides, it's not like they didn't try to get them on 3DS, the console is just inherently weaker. Anyone who complains about the WiiU getting an 'extra' character is fundamentally wrong; they were working on WiiU, so they're just not letting the dev time go to waste. (That almost sounds exactly like the argument in favor of clones, oddly enough)
Jin and Lyn (sounds like the title of a Dr. Seuss book) prediction: 0.4% each.

I love Ice Climber, so I guess I'd be ok with this rather than nothing? I think they would never do this though. It would've been done by now if Sakurai would be okay with it.
