Super Smash Bros for Switch Roster Prediction Contest - Deadline: one hour - Prize

IntelliHeath

As in "Heathcliff"
I would like to warn everyone who are involved to edit their rosters or post your prediction soon as possible because this thread is going to be locked in four hours!
 
Just realized I haven't posted in here. Granted I don't post in the Smash threads here all that much though I love reading through them. But anyway:

Every character from Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS returns (including DLC)

Three new characters:
Ice Climbers
Inkling
Shovel Knight

Every stage from Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS returns (including DLC)

Two new stages:
Pokefloats
Hub from Splatoon

Doesn't seem too far from what others have said but, eh, I'm here for the ride.
 
So wait are these predictions based on the base game or once all the inevitable DLC is said and done? if the latter I need to add onto it.
 
Returning: Everyone from Smash Wii U/3DS

New/Returning (5)

Ice Climbers
Inkling (female/male)
Shovel Knight
Elma (XCX)
Bomberman

Stages:

Ice Climber stage from Brawl
Inkopolis
Campfire scene (Shovel Knight)
Bomberman (extreme random hazard stage)
Xenoblade Chronicles X (like Delfino Plaza: fly-over between parts of Mira / New Los Angeles)

probably the characters missing from previous games.
Im hoping for the rumored Melee switch port to have no lag at all

You really can't be serious dude. There will be an iso dump emulation through VC at best. No one is making a port of Melee with online.

All previous characters plus:
New characters:
Ice Climbers
Gen 7 pokemon (Decidueye?)
Wolf Link
Inkling boy and girl
Krystal

New Stages
Breath of the wild stage
Inkopolis
Ice Climber, Gamecube stage
 
Characters:
- Inkling
- Ice Climber
- Wolf
- Pokemon Trainer 2 (3 pokemon - Decidueye, Tepig, Marshtomp)

Total: 3 regular, 1 transform (3 modes)

Stages:
- Urchin Underpass
- Hyrule (Breath of the Wild)
- Seafolk Village / Exeggutor Island
- Rhythm Heaven
- Summit
- Corneria

Total: 6

I'm waffling back and forth on which S/M stage might get in. My top two picks are Aether Paradise or Shady House/Po Town, but I wonder if those may be too aesthetically/thematically similar to Kalos Pokemon League and Unova Pokemon League, and not representative enough of how lush Alola is. I'll make a decision before the deadline...

EDIT: Seafolk Village / Exeggutor Island is my pick. They're close enough in-game that I'm envisioning it as a single stage. Hope that's cool.

never said anything about online. Input lag is a problem among many VC Titles, which is what im referring to, so yes, I can be serious, dude.

It's hard to believe that it actually happens. The numbers of participators in this thread is actually double of the numbers of participators in first contest thread.

The Random and Mii Fighter tabs are now accessed through the player portrait (where your character is displayed).

Inklings will be have multiple loadouts and a Gear Sync feature to import your fashion style from Splatoon 2.

I asked a moderator to unlock this thread since Smash for Switch haven't got announced officially yet. So feel free to revise your list to add some characters if you felt that anyone might have a shot after seeing Switch Presentation. (Like Arms, Bomerman, etc)

Next deadline is pretty much depends on characters leaks or upcoming Direct.
 
Here’s an unlikely prediction just for the hell of it.

Tiebreaker stages: Summit (Ice Climber), Urchin Underpass (Splatoon), Great Plateau (Breath of the Wild)


I'd add Rayman, Bomberman, Link of the Wild, and a Skyrim stage to that for my prediction.

I assume its still open to edit even tho noone's posted since January correct? I went ahead and edited my list below with changes. My list is completely crazy but I shall believe in it. My updated post:

UPDATE: I've updated this post on 06/11/17 right before e3. To change some characters since various things have happened since then. All updates are in bold.

I had a list a few weeks ago, so I'll just repost it with some slight differences:

I don't see them making a "port" of Smash, instead I see them getting all the WiiU content in and just adding onto it with characters, stages, trophies, and likely one new single player mode and I see them calling it Smash 5/the fifth Smash game. So I'm going for a full set of new characters by end of next year.

I want to guess between 8-15 characters and for this list I'll say 15 characters that I think will happen. Taking a look at what was added in Smash 4 these are mostly my genuine guesses in no particular order

1: Inklings - I mean do I need to say why? lol.
2: Ice Climbers - See 1.
3: Monster Hunter (F/M varients, each with different armors) - MH is now a huge Nintendo partner. So unless the MH team says no like they did with MVC3 I don't see how they don't get in. If they do say no, I hope they realize they are saying no to Sakuari and are ashamed of their decision. UPDATE: Leaked roster of MVCI has MH so only reinforces my belief!
4: Joker (Persona 5 Protagonist) - Atlus is Nintendo's biggest partner without a rep. A Persona rep seems likely since Persona kinda became Atlus's Mascot, but anyone is likely from P5 Protag to Flynn to Jack Frost. But it remains that Atlus rep seems likely to be added and I am pretty sure a Persona rep will be chosen since Sakurai would choose the most popular as with Cloud. While going with Yu Narukami would be the popular pick, I feel it will actually be Joker upon further reflection. So that is my final Atlus rep pick.
5: Mimikyu - I would love Primarina but yeah, don't see it happening. Decidueye is the popular pick but something with the way they promote Mimikyu makes me suspect that it will be the next Pokemon rep. UPDATE: The popular pick in Decidueye is confirmed for Pokken Deluxe, which only reinforces by belief Mimikyu in Smash
6: Paper Mario - Huge franchise always treated kinda seperate from Mario most notably in Paper Jam. Huge moveset potential, and despite...the way the series has gone still a memorable series.
7: Shovel Knight - I feel like an Indie rep is likely and Shovel Knight seems the most likely.
8: Chorus Kids - Was planned for 4. Likely cut for 3DS limits. See no reason to not add them.
9: Snake - Despite Konami going insane, they have unusually been supportive of VC and are even in the NES mini pack, so Nintendo and Konami must be on good terms so I think its fairly likely.
10: Banjo & Kazooie - MS and Nintendo have worked plenty before. If they want him, I don't really see MS saying no. The most they'd ask is to throw in a few Halo trophies or something lol.
11: Minecrafter - Huge with kids, now on WiiU and will most certainly come to Switch probably by end of 2017.
12: Ashley - I don't know but them suddenly having so much merchandise like themes and badges just for this one character keeps throwing me off for some reason...
13: Rayman - Various things make me suspect a bigger partnership between Nintendo and Ubisoft. Kinda blindly throwing this one in.
14: Balloon Fighter - As a tribute to Iwata, I can see Sakurai putting Balloon Fighter in as a playable character.
15: Spring Man - Its made by the Mario Kart team, and a big new IP so I feel its getting a spot.


Let's see how close I get. Now bookmarking and I'll quote this post once its released to see how close I come.

Alot of third parties to first party ratio, but I kinda feel thats the direction they are taking Smash, a celebration of video games themselves. (Especially as they run out've most big 1st party characters.)

Thers alot more characters in my mind. But don't see it much higher than 15 so I'll cap it off here. I hope its atleast 8 to feel like a true sequel. Helps that I know there will be atleast one character I like (Inklings) so I'm hyped for whatever happens!

Also mainly posting again since this is a good time to bump it before e3. Everyone get your final prediction in since it will (hopefully) be revealed at e3!
 
Previous roster (DLC included) +

Inkling (both male/female skin palettes)
Spring-Man
Ice Climbers
Wolf

there's no way a Persona rep is getting in Smash lol we're lucky 3DS got PQ thanks to the EO system
