Smash Bros Switch Roster Prediction Competition

Recommended Posts

From first to fifth, thank you Sakurai for not adding Chibi Robo, Rex and Spring Man to the roster.

And thank you even more for adding them to the support cast instead! 😂😂😂

I should’ve just kept it at ‘Ice Climbers, Wolf and Snake’ and I’d have won this contest!!

That would have given you a score of -17, so I don't think that would work.

And that's precisely why I implemented the number of fighters penalty.

I wonder if they have already decided go the DLC characters will be or if they are going to hold some kind of poll again. Perhaps through the app/game itself!

Anyways, that Piranha Plant looks fun but unnecessary given the plethora of other more worthy characters who have more weight under their belt franchise wise.

Sakurai is an insomniac who has lost his damn mind!

Welp, I didn't update this for Joker, because no-one predicted him. But this was a whole different affair!

Joker predicted by:

None of us!

Hero predicted by:

No-one, wow! Could have sworn someone guessed a Dragon Quest character...

I think my points tally is just going to continue to get lower. There's a pattern of 3rd party tie ins so far, I think most of mine were 1st party stuff. Apart from Yooka-Laylee... Chances of echo fighter?

We share points and I was pleasantly surprised. Mostly because I forgot what I predicted other than Rick.

Just wait! They'll shadow-drop my boi Waluigi and then I'll have the last laugh. I still have no idea how these points are awarded, but I'm fairly confident I'll be in the lead.

11. Goemon

Were it not for the fact Konami completely abandoned the amazing Mystical Ninja franchise and relegated Goemon and Co. to bloody Pachinko machines in Japan :mad: this could and should've happened already. As it stands Goemon is no doubt the least likely character on my entire list, if you can believe that. :heh: He would've been fantastic in Smash though, and imagine using Impact for a Final Smash!

I get half a point for this prediction, right? :laughing:

Only if I get half a point for Rex. Which means nope.

Terry correctly predicted by:

@Jonnas

Is that the most miraculous prediction to date? Because I think it might be. Congrats to @Jonnas for getting one of his long-shot dream characters. It's such a good feeling, huh? You basically have to main him now! Sorry, there was barely any footage of him, I couldn't get a funnier screenshot.

  1. @Fused King -5 points
  2. @Ugh first aid -6 points
  3. @Julius -10 points
  4. @Mandalore -11 points
  5. @Glen-i @RedShell -12 points
  6. @Nintendo Fan @markderoos @Jonnas -13 points
  7. @Vileplume2000 @S.C.G -15 points
  8. @Nicktendo -16 points
  9. @Dcubed -17 points
  10. @EEVILMURRAY -20 points
  11. @GenericAperson @Ashley -21 points
  12. @bob -23 points

@Jonnas moves up a place now. And now I have to get into the awkward affair of explaining a change of circumstances.

If you watched the direct, you'll know that there'll be even more DLC characters coming after the fighters pass.
Of course, this is great news, but it does mean I no longer know the final amount of newcomers. Which means that none of the scores are finalised. Once these mystery post-fighters pass characters come out, everyone's scores will change to reflect it.

I want him in battle.

But not be hurt in battle. My heart couldn't cope.

Any of these work for you?

If Terry plays like I think he will, he's a serious contender to be my main "rushdown" character (the first I'll bother to seriously use).

Pre-Character reveal bump. :grin: 

What’s going on with Sakurai’s hand gesture? :hehe: 3 fingers, hmm?...
Imagine if the final spot in the Fighters Pass was actually 3 different characters! :heh: 
 

Any 3 of these please, Sakurai: ;)

I mean, there is a real chance that it's a character that none of us predicted and the scores won't change. It happened with Joker.

There's also a real chance it'll be Waluigi and I'll surge into the lead (I still don't understand how the scoring works)

You'd get 2 points. One for predicting Waluigi, and one for the point I took away from you when Waluigi was confirmed as an Assist Trophy.

You basically shot yourself in the foot by only predicting one new character. We're way higher than that now.

Ah, but I'd have a 100% success rate in predicting characters, which is the highest you can be.

Right-o. Let's get this done.

ss_5.jpg

Byleth (AKA Fire Emblem Switch Protagonist) correctly predicted by:

@Glen-i @Fused King @Julius 

Sorry, @Nintendo Fan, you went with "Fire Emblem Character" and then specified a villain, I can't give you that.
Which means that less people predicted Byleth than those who went with Banjo, we might be well out of touch! Felt like such an easy point to me.

 Anyway, we now know that 6 more characters are coming after Byleth, which brings us to 29 characters (Excluding Inkling) that weren't in Smash 4. So with that in mind, here are the current scores.

1. @Fused King - Minus 10 points
2. @Ugh first aid - Minus 12 points
3. @Julius - Minus 15 points
4. @Glen-i @markderoos @Mandalore - Minus 17 points 
5. @RedShell - Minus 18 points
6. @markderoos @Jonnas @Nintendo Fan - Minus 19 points
7. @Vileplume2000 @S.C.G - Minus 21 points
8. @Nicktendo - Minus 22 points
9. @Dcubed - Minus 23 points
10. @GenericAperson @Ashley - Minus 27 points
11. @bob - Minus 29 points 

Basically, everyone lost 6 points, except for the three who nailed the prediction, who only lost 5.

See you next time!

Oh those are negative points?  I was reading it as I had 27 points and was wondering how the hell because I'm pretty sure I've only suggested Rick and sadly that's not happened...yet.
