Nicktendo Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Calling it now, this was a subtle hint: 1) Chibi-Robi in Smash 2) Rex from Xenoblade 3 & 4) 2 ARMS characters, gonna go with Spring Man and Ribbon Girl 5) Shovel Knight (it's time) 6) Banjo-Kazooie 7) Eevee (which can evolve) 8) "Dapper" Bowser (in full Odyssey outfit) 9) Rabbid Peach 10) Box Boy Stages: 1) ARMS stage, maybe Ribbon Gril's 2) Splatoon stage, probably Inkblot Academy or the one with the bridge in the middle (the name escapes me) 3) B&W Box Boy stage Edited June 12, 2018 by Nicktendo 1
Dufniall Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Most are safe bets, but it can go every direction. I hope they keep a lot of the Smash 4 characters in like Mega Man, Bayonetta, Robin etc. Newcomers 1) Decidueye (Pokémon) The guy is popular and can be a good replacement for the fast Greninja 2) Alolan Raichu (Pokémon) With Let's Go announced, I think we can do with some more first generation Pokémon! At first I thought Eevee, but I think Alolan Raichu can replace Mewtwo and Lucario. 3) Spring Man (ARMS) Nintendo still wants to make ARMS happen, so I think this is a safe bet. Maybe Twintelle for her popularity and more female characters. 4) Funky Kong (Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze) Because Funky Mode. 5) Ridley (Metroid) Make it happen, it is time! 6) Rex (Xenoblade Chronicles 2) Too bad for Shulk who is way cooler, but I think Rex takes his place. 7) Olberic (OCTOPATH TRAVELER) Out with the Fire Emblem swordfighters, in with some new ones! 8) Musashi (Sushi Striker) Another new IP to push. 9) Solaire (Dark Souls) The guy gets an amiibo, so I guess he can also get a spot in Smash 10) Steve (Minecraft) If there is any chance of a Microsoft character, my money is on this guy. New stages 1) New Donk City, with Pauline singing in the background. Maybe including a switch to a 2D version halfway? 2) Inkopolis Square, with Pearl and Marina singing in the background. Yes, more singing in the background! Changing to the night version of a Splatfest occasionally. 3) Snipperclips stage, similar to the PictoChat stage were pieces are being clipped off.

S.C.G Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 My Smash Newcomers Ice Climbers (Ice Climber) Because... they were cut due to technical limitations before. Wolf (Star Fox) Because... Can't let you do that... Star Fox! Paper Mario (Paper Mario) Because... Paper! Rex (Xenoblade) Because... that English voice-over though. Spring Man (ARMS) Because... Boing! Bomberman (Bomberman) Because... Boom! Banjo-Kazooie (Banjo-Kazooie) Because... Childhood memories of Rare Rick (Kirby) Because... Hamster! Tie Breaker Stage Predictions Battle Arena (Bomberman) Rougeport (Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door) New Donk City (Super Mario Odyssey) That's my lazy cut 'n paste last minute, slightly altered entry, take it or leave it. 1
Glen-i Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 OK, entries are closed now! Don't bother changing your predictions. You're committed!
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 I HAD THIS READY BUT IT DIDN'T LET ME POST. Yooka Laylee may appear. I want a Golden Sun character to imply the series is being carried on. Any Tales characters
Jonnas Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 ...I had Snake as a returnee, but then I decided Konami wouldn't play ball, so I replaced him with Takamaru. Goddammit. The only thing I got right was the Ice Climbers returning.
S.C.G Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Bomberman featuring... but only as an assist character, that was the biggest disappointment, so close.
Sméagol Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 We had so many hopes.. I still fully expect new character reveals before and after launch. Rex absolutely needs to be there. And they can't bring a new Fire Emblem protagonist if the game itself isn't out yet.

Glen-i Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) OK then! Let's go down the new Playable Characters! Daisy correctly predicted by: Nobody! Ice Climbers Correctly predicted by: @Glen-i @markderoos, @Jonnas @Ugh first aid @GenericAperson @Nintendo Fan @Fused King @Dcubed @Julius Caesar @S.C.G Pichu correctly predicted by: Not a single bloody person! Young Link predicted by: Everyone, no wait... No-one. Yeah, no-one. Squirtle correctly predicted by: Nope, we all suck Ivysaur correctly predicted by: All the people who predicted Squirtle. Wolf correctly predicted by: @Glen-i @markderoos @Ugh first aid @Nintendo Fan @Fused King @Dcubed @S.C.G @Julius Caesar Snake correctly predicted by: @markderoos Ridley correctly predicted by: @Fused King @Vileplume2000 Now it's time for the avenue of crushed dreams. The characters we now know are not playable. Minus points for these losers! Waluigi @bob @RedShell @Julius Caesar Lyn @Jonnas @Ugh first aid @Julius Caesar Takamaru @Jonnas Bomberman @Glen-i @Nintendo Fan @Fused King @Dcubed @Julius Caesar @S.C.G Alolan Raichu @Vileplume2000 Yeah, no-one expected the no cuts. It's beautiful! With the returning Veterans, we're at 9 characters revealed now. Alolan Raichu was just shown as a Pokeball item Pokemon during treehouse. Sorry. Pichu is more important. Bomberman totally killed in the disappointment there. 6 people getting screwed in the points department there. I'm gonna look through the screenshots of the websites to see if I can spot any other dreams to stamp on. And here's how the points are tallied up. @markderoos: 3 points @Fused King: 2 points @Glen-i @Ugh first aid@GenericAperson@Nintendo Fan@Dcubed@S.C.G: 1 point @Vileplume2000@Nicktendo@EEVILMURRAY@Mandalore: 0 points @Jonnas@bob@RedShell@Julius Caesar: -1 point Edited June 13, 2018 by Glen-i Forgot about Mandalore. Sorry, Mandalore. 1 1 6 1

Wolf correctly predicted by: @Glen-i @markderoos @Ugh first aid @Nintendo Fan @Fused King @Dcubed @scg Not to be too much of a sore loser, but I think I might be owed a point?

Not that I made a few other guesses too many... I’m probably happier with the roster that we’ve got than the roster that I predicted anyways!
Ashley Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 I'm still holding out hopes. @Glen-i is this going to be ongoing? I assume they'll announce a few more, but has the deadline shut now forever?

Yep, until it gets released, this will be ongoing, so it's not over yet. But I'm not gonna accept any new entries or editing of previous predictions.

markderoos Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 I heard a rumout that New Donk City has been shown as a stage?

Fused King Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 @Glen-i Thanks for keeping this going, man. I'll finally be getting a Switch soon with Breath of the Wild, so I am definitely trying to get back into the gaming groove nowadays. Can't believe Bomberman was so casually announced! I do hope it forweshadows the rumoured Simon Belmont reveal along with a slick Castlevania Switch collection, and you can bet your ass that Travis Touchdown will be in this! 1
