Top 20 boyz! That's something I guess. Thanks for putting this together Heath.

Also lmao at Scrafty.

Edit: Was the possible point total 58? Crazy that no one even got close.

I feel like a failure with my newcomer predictions. I played it too safe with some and too wild with others (a whole new Pokemon Trainer...ouch). Of the 14 I added, only 4 made the cut.

Shows how much potential they have for Switch. Onto the next one boys and girls.

And yes, thank you for the contest. I hope we see it again...soon?

You're welcome, Codeblue. And, yes, the chance of someone getting 58 points is more likely to be someone who could travel to the future. :p

Is it too late to participate in the contest?

Yup, it's too late! ;P

Yes, I'm planning to do Smash for Switch Prediction Contest like two weeks before Switch Presentation.

This time, people only need to predict upcoming newcomers and returning veterans so full roster list isn't needed since it's more likely that we wouldn't see any cut. Also it would make it easier for me to tally the points as well.

Also it's going to be interesting to see what people are going to predict, and see if they are going let few rumors influencing their guesswork for the roster.

I would have everyone to know this, new prediction contest is going to be for Smash for Switch Base Roster and potentially dlc characters. It's going to be harder to predict how many characters and which characters.

The reason why it's going to be harder because it's our first time that we are going to experience this situation where we are more likely to get Smash 4.5, which is pretty much first time in Smash history, and we have no guarantee that we would get DLC characters or not so it would encourage the posters to make a wise choice with their prediction. You have to consider all the possibilities with Sakurai and the situations.

I WAS SO CLOSE

Thank you so much for running this, IntelliHeath. This thread was a wild ride and it's great to finally have closure.
 

Boss Doggie

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
You know, this thread is interesting as far as expectations go. Especially the "least predicted veterans". People were really pining for Lucario and Ike to be flavor of the month huh lol

Wow, I did better than expected. I should have believed in Lucario more than I did, though. Still, made up for it by totally calling Robin. 14 points is not too shabby at all.

Looking back at it, I wonder which of the DLC characters got picked the most. Did anyone have Cloud? Or Bayonetta for that matter. I'd imagine no one had Corrin since that game wasn't even announced back when this contest started.

Actually, can you do a breakdown of least guessed characters?
 
I got closer than I thought I would at least! I think I had insane shit like Geno and Ganondorf being Demise by default in my submission, but I also had stuff people kept insisting wouldn't happen like Bayonetta and Shulk.
 
If I recall, I half-way made a point of focusing on what I wanted more than what I expected - though I can't deny that the game fooled me to some extent in what they ultimately went with, haha.

Looking at my list, I predicted quite a few newcomers.

Bowser Jr.
Shulk
Little Mac
Mega Man
Pac-Man
Bayonetta (Man, I didn't even remember calling this one)

I am honestly surprised that I did as well as I did. 8 points isn't bad. I was certainly right about a few things, such as Sheik being split off from Zelda, but I was way wrong on others.

It's your second chance to win the contest. A Sequel to this thread - Super Smash Bros for Switch Roster Contest.

Top 10 for Least Predicted Characters.
Wii Fit Trainer - 0%
Dr. Mario - 0% (He had one vote when I checked all people's predictions so 0% is a mistake)
Villager - 0.84%
Duck Hunt Dog - 3.36%
Rosalina - 4.21%
Robin - 5.89%
Lucina - 13.45%
