Great news, the joint 79th most requested fighter Sephiroth is IN! Even better news, he was Math Certified being an RPG, MALE, EAST, 90s, Return Publisher, Return Series Fighter. The best news? Since all his attributes have duplicates his addition doesn't change the math AT ALL. Everything in this video still stands for at least another few months. SWEET RELEASE!
If you go into the 3DS eShop right now, Phoenix Wright is actually the face of the RPG category (for some reason). Apparently, Nintendo considers Ace Attorney to be RPG, which means his genre deconfirmation is legally revoked. TAKE THAT!
It’s not fully his choice the company also makes the choice and sakurai actually wanted geno in the game too but couldn’t have him because square enix wouldn’t allow it considering they own the character
@@gameworldmaster5916 Honestly, id bet Nintendo was a bigger obstacle Square. We all know the antagonism theyve developed towards third party characters In Mario rpgs.
*if the math checks out with my top pick* - Yeah, his math checks out. *if the math doesn't check out with my top pick* - Your math is off, too many restrictions
@@piksqu9544 You realize the math is all based on patterns and representation right? It's not a restriction but rather it effects odds. If smash only added 1 purely female character with each dlc pass set, you would probably bet that the same would happen here, right? Think of it as trying to follow trends in stock or behavioral analysis which is all basically educated guesses.
@@JWNimble these arbitrary rules we make as a community mean nothing. if sakurai wanted to add another fighting game rep he could. stop spreading lies and conjecture.
@@bankroll6088 I know, but in this make believe we are discussing characters in terms of how they fit into this arbituary table, Its very likley that the actual DLC characters wont fit into a table that was in part made as a joke, but it is fun to discuss.
Kinda thinking that the Bae Blades would sit in the both category as during development they wanted them to be a trio with Rex, to the point of him being included in both taunts and final smash... just a thought maybe
and then kazuya comes in to destroy fighting games and a prison breakout for all fighting game characters same with pyra and mythra to save all female characters and I guess mech characters and also birdo and also shante gets a spirit and mii fighter coustume and same with doom guy/slayer but with just a mii fighter coustume
Backseat must be very proud of how the third DLC fighter of Fighter Pass 2 passed the entire third row on his chart. Now, there are two platformers and one RPG, two males and one both, three Easterns, one 1980's rep, one 1990's rep and one 2000's rep that references the 80's, two returning publishers and one new publisher, two returning series and one new series.
considering that the math is useless, probably not. sakurai never had any rules for characters, other than being in a game. fans just make it more complex than it needs to be
I mean... let him "b" boxes fo weapons, he can use in his smashattacks Let him down b to drink blue slime, (gives a shield and that needs to get destroed before he gets dmg Ult is easy, he builds himself up, jumps, 360 NoScopes the Enemy/Rocked Launcher if he hits more than one Dances in the Endcard and with a florless victory, he gets the Victory Royal at the endscreen
It's scary how accurate this still was for Sephiroth (Pyra and Mythra deconfirmed this) We can cross off one RPG, one Male, one East, one 1990s, one Returning PUB, and one Returning Series.
Well, tô be honest, these are very generic categories, and the method he's using to "predict" characters leaves a lot of space to imagination. The real problem will come with the last three or two characters, who will be too unpredictable for this method. But still, this is a mathematical wonder, so it does its job
What era does he represent? FF started in the 80s, but every bit of FF representation comes from FF7, which was released in 1997. So, 80s or 90s? Either way, he still fits
So we're going to use logic and precedence to determine upcoming fightings for a series that has historically defied logic and precedence? I'm no mathematician, but the facts aren't adding up here.
Well, if we use logic and precedence to determine the likely ones, the fact they defy logic and precedence a lot means we could theoretically turn all the results on their heads and have the likely picks from the unlikely ones here.
@@davos4667 You're not supposed to take this seriously you know? This is all just theoretical. It's to decide which fighter is likely to get into smash IF we follow the chart presented in this video.
Just gotta say this: The Smash Bros Fandom can be one of the most "unchill" ones if it comes to literally just talking about it. but eh I guess that's just how they are...
Very true, they never know who they want in this game so they pick random/nostalgia characters like geno or bandana. Lest time we got a character from request, we got bayonetta, and look what we ended up with
@@kitkat2849-b3h nintendo considers it as an rpg. it makes sense anyway. there's an earlier discussion in the comments discussing it. I won't go too deep into it here.

I feel like BECAUSE Master Chief fails a bunch of the tests that means he actually IS likely, because Sakurai likes subverting expectations. I know I'm just thinking wishfully though...
You know what dude I REALLY REALLY REALLY want master chief in fact he’s the only one I want in the game but I think sakurai isnt gonna put the anymore Microsoft reps we got one last pass and one this pass but who knows maybe I’m wrong
It seems like Pyra deconfirms the math here so I'm hoping for the biggest internet-breaking dlc ever to come in smash bros. Someone with a fanbase big as Steve.
@@Sean-nr3ts It didn't, because Rex was included in her Final Smash and taunts, so she did fall into the Female with Male category making her Caution correct.
@@Sean-nr3ts actually, Ryu and Crash are the ones who fit the remaining math. Xenoblade took the other RPG rep. So supposedly the last two characters are platformers. Though, the current rumored characters are Crash and Monster Hunter. MH would break the math in the end, but I don't think they'll see it as a lost if it takes up to the literal last character to break their system.
Well this comment isnt going to put him out of jail but in the era part of the characters, tf is a 90s franchise, april 7th 1999, but if it is considered only by the first appereance of the character It would be 2007.
@Ice Cream Man I mean, by that logic legitimately the entire roster wouldn't be in the game. Look at banjo for example. In modern day, no one's playing it anymore unless they're specifically making vids on the character or talking about smash inclusion. Saying you hope a character doesn't get in just cause "specific groups want him" is just... Dumb. There's a reason Geno's number 2, people want him in the game. Regardless of reason (waluigi's potential lies majority in meme factor for example), if people want them enough, nintendo would be daft to not consider it. People that didnt play metroid but know Ridley wanted him in, should he be removed? Some nintendo fans have never touched TLOZ but know its importance, should those characters be removed? Of course not, the characters and series have beloved history to them. You don't have to play every game to understand a characters importance. I've never played Pikmin and I know many others havent either, but Olimar and pikmin is a very important character/franchise and his inclusion is great. Above all else, Geno has the "coming home" effect that banjo has. Since Square has Geno, it would be remarkable to see geno come back for a nintendo cameo again. You can be disappointed sure no problem, but saying you hope a character doesnt make it in for that reason just doesn't make sense.
@@darcidious99 The thing is... Geno is not important. Or relevant. I sincerely don't want him to get in, not because other people do, nor because I want to disappoint those people, but rather because I don't see what's so special about him.
@@m0j026 right that's fine, I'm the same with waluigi. I think he's an irrelevant character that people only want in because it would be funny. Regardless though, I still know how important the funny purple man is to some people. Geno may not be important to you, but to many others he was the single best part about mario rpg, a series that inspired the likes of paper mario and the mario and Luigi series. Banjo is a character I have no attachment too, but his importance not only to Nintendo history but to the Microsoft vs. Nintendo relationship and fan love of him makes him an incredible pick. Going back, there's nothing wrong with being dissatisfied with a character pick. I was somewhat upset with Byleth and very underwhelmed by min mins playstyle. But to say they shouldn't be in the game is preposterous. There's no "wrong" answer, any character being represented is incredible even if I don't inherently want it. If waluigi somehow did make it in, I'd still laugh and play him with everyone else. I desperately want hollow knight to get in, but I understand he's a more niche pick and that the odds are against him. If he's not in, then that's just as fine and I'll deal with it. If/when (at this point when seems more appropriate) Geno gets in, its fine if people don't "get it", cause so many will want to experience him and see what he's about. I wanna play Banjo and persona just cause the characters are beloved and remarkable even if I don't have attachments. That's what makes this game so amazing is that literally any character/series can be represented and thousands will be ecstatic to see it, or new players will become interested. But again, the logic of "this character isn't important to me therefore shouldn't be in" is horrible. At that point, no one would be in the game, or We'd literally only have mario.
@@darcidious99 Maybe I phrased it wrong, but it's not like I'm going to be upset with any character that gets in, I just personally don't why people want Geno, and this comes from the guy that was excited for Joker even though he had no idea what Persona was and isn't even into anime in general. Still, I see where you are coming from.
@@darcidious99 Square owns Geno yeah, but Nintendo owns the rights of Super Mario RPG. According to Square, Geno is not important. Cloud and Lara Croft are more important than Geno. Also Geno is not even the main character of Super Mario RPG. The main character is Mario since it's a Nintendo game that was developed by Square. The DLC characters except PP has been main characters from their series with a spirit board. Sorry to bust your bubble, but Geno ain't getting in Ultimate and instead he's gonna come back as a returning Mii Gunner Costume.
Some of yalls in the comments are taking this math series way too seriously, it's just a silly thought experiment no i'm not salty you think reimu won't get in
@@SeanWheeler100 That or the theory is insufficiently refined. The thing about science, is that theories are never definite, they have to be adjusted to suit new data. I'd say the issue is that one of the character classes is mistakenly assigned: there's a lack of category for "multiple character" character, which Mythra/Pyra, Banjo/Kazooie (and maybe Joker/Persona) falls under.
@@sinteleon There was a "both" category for characters like that. Steve and Alex took one of the "Both" slots. But "Both" means one male and one female, so both characters being female would put Pyra/Mythra under "Female" and Min Min already took the only female slot he predicted so the math is wrong. Rex is in Pyra and Mythra's Final Smashes, but Final Smash characters do not count, otherwise the inclusion of Spring Man, Master Mummy and other male ARMS characters would put Min Min under "both." And besides, a guy predicting how many characters of a specific category there would be would very likely be proven wrong just like when he made his own character predictions that didn't come true.
yeah but thats kinda like saying oh this guys in a 2d platformer so he can be in a metroidvania. Hes in a fighting game, but not a Party Fighting Game.
@@altagos9265 he would be a funny character but represents like nothing other than the sports games. But daisy kinda already does that :/ I want rayman in smash, he would be cool
The Era and East/West categories are less fallacies but more of a concern in the sense that they would come up as a question when considering characters, even if not taken too seriously. [Edit] Unlike Gender, which has a higher chance of not being brought up in character selection questioning.
True, I feel like it would be pretty petty for Nintendo to not consider adding a character tons of people want just because they're a Western character.
These predictions have a really weak basis. I doubt either of three big considerations come up so much as market appeal/nostalgia/impact. But trying to predict the factors that make a likely smash DLC with only eight points of data is a bit silly in the first place. Maybe they could take Wii U DLCs into consideration too.
I would argue that Doom guy's genre is a platformer/shooter due to eternal and 2016 both having many platforming elements, as well as a couple small sections like chasm in DOOM II, however that is still a caution
The editing here is like game theory on steroids. I love the effort you put into your videos, and the high standard of quality you hold them to. Great work!
@@ivansotelo4622 Nah, they better not do that. Conker is still way more popular and beloved than even the Battletoads. He’s even the second face of Rare, and about as equal as Banjo-Kazooie too I’d say. If there’s going to be a third Rare character in the future though, then yeah it could probably be a more appropriate time to put in the Battletoads by that point. If they do Conker next though, then they’re likely gonna wait on the next Rare rep again though with Master Chief if Steve is anything to go off of... Hopefully Steve isn’t the real “Microsoft rep” of Pass 2, since Mojang was individually trademarked for this game, but not Rare. Because if we can get Conker in the same pack too, then that would make it all worth it honestly.
If TF2 Heavy got in it would be amazing. Also, you guys can still have hope. What Backseat is trying to do is like predicting the stock market. He seems to be making correlations between several factors and likelihood of getting in, all on the assumption that overrepresentation of certain factors means that you're not getting in. It's a reasonable assumption; however, this assumption is not proven until Sakurai actually confirms or denies it. Also, his previous predictions on fighter pass 2 didn't match what Sakurai actually chose (Min Min, Steve), so Heavy getting in all depends on whether Backseat's assumptions are true or flawed.
Licensing is still the main boon for some of these characters. Those that were costumes before have high likelihood of coming back again as costumes. Most companies would likely renew the deal. I'm talking about 3rd party costumes btw. Well maybe except the Chocobo ones lol. Decidueye was hampered by his design. He's a bird that uses projectile. A humanoid wrestler bi-ped is still easier to do if you were on a time crunch.
You're right, but the point of these videos is to operate based on precedent, "Smash MATH", meaning that these predictions are purely based on what's already happened. He doesn't mean to say for instance that they won't let in a character because they don't want too many girls, or that girl characters shouldn't get in; just that by looking at the trends of the past, this is what is mathematically likely.
You’re right but logically the pass technically dropped 2 female characters back to back (min min & Alex) so the last few characters are most likely going to be the main protagonist from whatever franchise they choose which rules out a lot of girl characters
I feel like Smash Bros has sort of spoiled me, it's so weird how when Ultimate came out the starting roster looked huge; but now when I look at it without the DLC it looks small, even though I know it isn't.
Does Conker check out? Let’s see: Genre - Platformer ✅ Gender - Male ✅ Location - West ❌ Era - 1990’s ✅ Publisher - Returning Pub ✅ Series - New Series ✅ So, our favorite drunken squirrel is a Caution when it comes to the math.
This "math" he's using is SO subjective its hilarious. This can all fall apart if nintendo just decides have that character in, regardless of all this gender/hometown/genre/era math.
I mean...it is the perfect PC representant. Just use a lot of things from windows history, from DOS to Win 10. Okay I'm joking but i kinda like the meme of playing the representation of personal computers. Maybe Tux the Penguin would be a better fit?
Wait just a darn second! The original Steve design debuted in 2009, making him a 2000s rep! This would make the duo of Steve and Alex a 2010s rep AND a 2000s rep, which doesn't satisfy the math! The entire chart is a bust now! What do we do?!?
We scrap the math and accept Sakurai does what he wants and the only criteria is they are from a game that is [REDACTED] and are they an icon of gaming history/from a Nintendo game/popular
minecraft didn't come out in 2009 though. it came out in 2011. And lets be perfectly honest, no one calls steve a 2000s rep. hes the perfect embodiment of the 2010s.
@@alexblackman4005 I agree, I think that he's more emblematic of the 2010s than the 2000s for sure. But math cares not for what people think. It cares not for the general consensus. Math is absolute, without feeling. Steve as a character appeared in a publicly available version of Minecraft in 2009, so he IS a 2000s rep according to the math, sorry to say.
@@Andrew-xn4sc he was born from a female bug and a male bug so its not off the table for him to have reproductive organs. also its good to point out that steel soul is the canon run.
guys guys guys Pacman, Mario, and Donkey Kong have all appeared on Futurama, which has had multiple crossovers with the Simpsons which has crossed over with Family Guy. And who is a recurring character in Family Guy? The Kool-Aid Man! Kool-Aid Man is confirmed for Smash!!
Honestly I just thought about a theory about all DLC's so far has some kinda special attacks with each of the fighters : - Joker has the Persona Gauge - Hero has the MP Gauge and Command Selection - Banjo has the Side Special Wonderwing which is considered to be an invincible move - Terry has the command imput like Ryu and Ken and that he has two different side b from the front and the back - Byleth has different weapons attacks due to most fire emblem characters has too much swordfighters. - Min Min has a very long range attacks with her long arms. - Steve has the ability to put blocks on stage. Like all these characters has some 'special' attacks that no other normal fighters has. So yeah I hope this theory is useful for y'all
Just putting this out there cause I would love to see Geno make it to smash, and using your theory, Geno could have a special thing where he has to time his special attacks kinda like Incineror’s side B but and he could use it with like Geno whirl or Geno beam or Geno blast and he could have another special move where he can get a buff from Geno boost and it can show up as a meter thing like hero, joker, and Steve does, this goes along nicely with your theory about special character abilities
Something that ties in with this that also ties in with the characters original game would be to maybe allow Heavy to customize which weapons he is using before going into a fight just like in Tf2. each weapon would have a different effect on the opponent allowing for lots of customization and weapon combos to be used.
Don't take it as gospel. I disagree with this video because it relies too heavily on every fighter pass mirroring that of the first one (another issue, they're only basing this off of one pack).
Small correction: The Halo games are rated M, so the Halo/Doom quip isn't actually correct, unless you were just trying to be funny regarding the violence of the games or something
I mean, I STRONGLY doubt Sakurai uses math to decide who makes it in. He is here to make dreams happen, not to make math deconfirmed people. Probably gonna get r/woooshed but yea
Its just trying to use a logic to try to predict who is next. Similar to people making predictions based on rules like "no Assist Trophies/Spirits" and the like. The fun will come when a person who was mathmatically impossible becomes the next pick and see how the math chance.
I’m not mad, but honestly when it came out, Doom was the most downloaded computer “software” ever... and he’s one of the biggest icons in all of gaming. Right alongside Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man, and master chief. I feel like he’s gonna make it in.
An interesting way of speculating new fighters, but it seems these calculations are just waiting to fall apart. No offence I respect your work, but every time the fandom created a new rule it is shortly broken by the next newcomer. (Except for indie characters so far) Plus I find it a bit hard to believe there isn't going to be another female only rep in the game. (I guess mathematics are sexist)
@@XradicalD Personally I want it to either be Frisk as an Undertale rep, as it would make more sense for the protagonist of a game to be the main representation than a character that only does something in one of the endings. Or a Hollow Knight rep either being the Knight itself, or maybe even Hornet as some sort of cross promotion close to silk song’s release. However I wouldn’t mind playing as Reimu, even though I never played a Touhou game before.
@@marxiplier4322 I only played that Touhou game everyone played, 6 I think. But more than interested in Reimu, I just think Sakurai has preferences for japanese IPs. So if it's an indie, it will be a Japanese one. Just a hunch.
Before someone writes a whole 15 paragraph essay on why this can or can not work, I wanted to remind everyone that this is just my opinion of who I would really love to see no matter how unlikely it will be, please do not start anything silly and try to avoid any arguments over a fictional character, thanks
I think it would interesting if you created a model that weighed the characters differently based on whether they’re DLC or not. Currently the model uses all current fighters and interpolates who else would fit the current roster, but I think it’s pretty clear that a lot of these DLC fighters are meant to change that roster in significant ways. If there’s a way to give the DLC fighters more weight and then you take into account how they change the trends of the roster, that would be a very interesting (and likely more accurate) video. I know that these vids are largely just for fun though, and it certainly is for me when I watch them. Keep it up!
Of the five characters who are mathematically sound, I feel like Ryu has the best chance of getting in. They just feel like a missing link in the classic NES Smash lineup.
Not really...it doesn't change any possibilities so far. Maybe we can cross out any new FF/DQ characters but the rest is still fair game. I would wait until the next fighter is announced. THEN we can really start ruling out. BTW love me some sephy on smash. He's the right kind of power/speed balance for me, and has good zoning (Not great but i'm not much of a zoner anyway).
Imagine sometime in the near future. The last DLC character is about to be revealed. The trailer starts. We're somewhere in space looking at the far stars. Then, suddenly a noise starts to get closer and closer. It appears to be coming from a spaceship. The spaceship finally appears on screen. It is the Pilar of Autumn, and it's heading towards a Halo. Then the man itself appears on screen inside the ship. Master Chief finishes the fight!
I think you mean Buzz Lightyear... There's no way the final dlc isn't going to be buzz lightyear. Master chief would be great, but that would be another game rep, which is a bit much if you ask me.
The real thing we should all want is that the last slot for dlc isn't just another character in fighters pass. But a story mode involving each character in a subspace emissary level pack. But I know it won't happen
Bruh they can’t just add an entire second game into their vanilla game. If y’all want a story based game in the Smash Universe, ask for a spin off. Otherwise, all we’re gonna get is an Okay fighting game with a mediocre story (Ultimate), or a great story with a subpar fighting game (Brawl).
@Agent Ombraura look, okay, my point is that both aspects of each game could be better. And one of the reasons that they aren’t is that you’re essentially trying to cram an entire game within another game. I like World of Light, but the actual narrative story is incredibly lacking. But narrative story is what people want out of a Smash Bros story mode, which is why people latched onto Subspace Emissary. But because SE was so big, Brawl as a fighting game suffered from rash, nonsensical development decisions, bad balancing, and abysmal online. Because they made the story mode better, the main fighting game had to suffer for development time. Ultimate has its own share of problems, stemming mostly again from bad online, but also some major balance issues with a few characters (I don’t subscribe to tier lists, but characters like Mac, Kirby, and Ganondorf are extremely lackluster, while characters like Pit barely function at all), but overall it is one of the more Balanced Smash games for its cast size, coming at the cost of development for World of Light, which left much to be desired (there’s three lines of dialog in the whole thing, come on guys). Because the Devs focused more on the Fighting game itself, the story mode had to suffer for development time. Do you see what I mean now? You can’t just make two whole games in a limited time frame and expect them both to be masterpieces, especially when one is as complicated as a fighting game. Having an independently developed canonical spin-off that takes place in the Smash universe would be a much better alternative, as it can be developed at its own pace without the constraints of the host fighting game’s release date.
@Agent Ombraura I dont care for the story of subspace, but at least it had level design. Wol is the most repetitive, easy, boring game mode ever in smash. Calling it an adventure mode is pathetic imo.
And with the reveal of Sephiroth today, RPG, Male, East, 1990s, Returning Publisher, and Returning Series (entire 3rd row) all get knocked out. It's looking like this math is solid!

I like how Pyra/Mythra messes up this entire thing
2010s
Female (and 100% at that)
with their other categories being RPG, Returning Series, and Returning Publisher
Kinda thinking that the Bae Blades would sit in the both category as during development they wanted them to be a trio with Rex, to the point of him being included in both taunts and final smash... just a thought maybe
That's Xenoblade for you.
Everything messes this thing tbh. Predicting "by math" is always foolish asf lol. It's like the best you can get is a "You tried!" stamp
and then kazuya comes in to destroy fighting games and a prison breakout for all fighting game characters same with pyra and mythra to save all female characters and I guess mech characters and also birdo and also shante gets a spirit and mii fighter coustume and same with doom guy/slayer but with just a mii fighter coustume
Wow, to think that Pyra/Mythra obliterated the math 3 times.
The era and the gender with a double fighter.
Pyra and Mythra pass everything except the era, actually.

How is that hilarious? If he fit the math better, isn’t that the expected result?
Backseat must be very proud of how the third DLC fighter of Fighter Pass 2 passed the entire third row on his chart. Now, there are two platformers and one RPG, two males and one both, three Easterns, one 1980's rep, one 1990's rep and one 2000's rep that references the 80's, two returning publishers and one new publisher, two returning series and one new series.

@@Z3R0Steam True, but it's the same franchise, no?
Lets be honest the top picks aren't even top picks, the only reason why they are soo high it is mainly because TH-camrs they look up to wanted them
@Ice Cream Man I mean, by that logic legitimately the entire roster wouldn't be in the game. Look at banjo for example. In modern day, no one's playing it anymore unless they're specifically making vids on the character or talking about smash inclusion. Saying you hope a character doesn't get in just cause "specific groups want him" is just... Dumb. There's a reason Geno's number 2, people want him in the game. Regardless of reason (waluigi's potential lies majority in meme factor for example), if people want them enough, nintendo would be daft to not consider it.
People that didnt play metroid but know Ridley wanted him in, should he be removed? Some nintendo fans have never touched TLOZ but know its importance, should those characters be removed? Of course not, the characters and series have beloved history to them. You don't have to play every game to understand a characters importance. I've never played Pikmin and I know many others havent either, but Olimar and pikmin is a very important character/franchise and his inclusion is great. Above all else, Geno has the "coming home" effect that banjo has. Since Square has Geno, it would be remarkable to see geno come back for a nintendo cameo again. You can be disappointed sure no problem, but saying you hope a character doesnt make it in for that reason just doesn't make sense.
@@darcidious99
The thing is... Geno is not important. Or relevant.
I sincerely don't want him to get in, not because other people do, nor because I want to disappoint those people, but rather because I don't see what's so special about him.
@@m0j026 right that's fine, I'm the same with waluigi. I think he's an irrelevant character that people only want in because it would be funny. Regardless though, I still know how important the funny purple man is to some people.
Geno may not be important to you, but to many others he was the single best part about mario rpg, a series that inspired the likes of paper mario and the mario and Luigi series. Banjo is a character I have no attachment too, but his importance not only to Nintendo history but to the Microsoft vs. Nintendo relationship and fan love of him makes him an incredible pick.
Going back, there's nothing wrong with being dissatisfied with a character pick. I was somewhat upset with Byleth and very underwhelmed by min mins playstyle. But to say they shouldn't be in the game is preposterous. There's no "wrong" answer, any character being represented is incredible even if I don't inherently want it. If waluigi somehow did make it in, I'd still laugh and play him with everyone else. I desperately want hollow knight to get in, but I understand he's a more niche pick and that the odds are against him. If he's not in, then that's just as fine and I'll deal with it.
If/when (at this point when seems more appropriate) Geno gets in, its fine if people don't "get it", cause so many will want to experience him and see what he's about. I wanna play Banjo and persona just cause the characters are beloved and remarkable even if I don't have attachments. That's what makes this game so amazing is that literally any character/series can be represented and thousands will be ecstatic to see it, or new players will become interested. But again, the logic of "this character isn't important to me therefore shouldn't be in" is horrible. At that point, no one would be in the game, or We'd literally only have mario.
@@darcidious99
Maybe I phrased it wrong, but it's not like I'm going to be upset with any character that gets in, I just personally don't why people want Geno, and this comes from the guy that was excited for Joker even though he had no idea what Persona was and isn't even into anime in general.
Still, I see where you are coming from.
@@darcidious99 Square owns Geno yeah, but Nintendo owns the rights of Super Mario RPG. According to Square, Geno is not important. Cloud and Lara Croft are more important than Geno. Also Geno is not even the main character of Super Mario RPG. The main character is Mario since it's a Nintendo game that was developed by Square.
The DLC characters except PP has been main characters from their series with a spirit board. Sorry to bust your bubble, but Geno ain't getting in Ultimate and instead he's gonna come back as a returning Mii Gunner Costume.

@@SeanWheeler100 That or the theory is insufficiently refined. The thing about science, is that theories are never definite, they have to be adjusted to suit new data.
I'd say the issue is that one of the character classes is mistakenly assigned: there's a lack of category for "multiple character" character, which Mythra/Pyra, Banjo/Kazooie (and maybe Joker/Persona) falls under.
@@sinteleon There was a "both" category for characters like that. Steve and Alex took one of the "Both" slots. But "Both" means one male and one female, so both characters being female would put Pyra/Mythra under "Female" and Min Min already took the only female slot he predicted so the math is wrong. Rex is in Pyra and Mythra's Final Smashes, but Final Smash characters do not count, otherwise the inclusion of Spring Man, Master Mummy and other male ARMS characters would put Min Min under "both." And besides, a guy predicting how many characters of a specific category there would be would very likely be proven wrong just like when he made his own character predictions that didn't come true.

The East/West overuse probability is a serious fallacy in these predictions.
Agreed
I would say era and gender are overused as well, but they at least make a little more sense
The Era and East/West categories are less fallacies but more of a concern in the sense that they would come up as a question when considering characters, even if not taken too seriously.
[Edit] Unlike Gender, which has a higher chance of not being brought up in character selection questioning.
True, I feel like it would be pretty petty for Nintendo to not consider adding a character tons of people want just because they're a Western character.
These predictions have a really weak basis. I doubt either of three big considerations come up so much as market appeal/nostalgia/impact. But trying to predict the factors that make a likely smash DLC with only eight points of data is a bit silly in the first place. Maybe they could take Wii U DLCs into consideration too.
Who’s here to see how Sephiroth fits in?
Me
same way as geno i think
I'm here because of Pyra and Mythra destroying his math.
I would argue that Doom guy's genre is a platformer/shooter due to eternal and 2016 both having many platforming elements, as well as a couple small sections like chasm in DOOM II, however that is still a caution

If they do Conker next though, then they’re likely gonna wait on the next Rare rep again though with Master Chief if Steve is anything to go off of...

If TF2 Heavy got in it would be amazing.
Also, you guys can still have hope.
What Backseat is trying to do is like predicting the stock market. He seems to be making correlations between several factors and likelihood of getting in, all on the assumption that overrepresentation of certain factors means that you're not getting in. It's a reasonable assumption; however, this assumption is not proven until Sakurai actually confirms or denies it.
Also, his previous predictions on fighter pass 2 didn't match what Sakurai actually chose (Min Min, Steve), so Heavy getting in all depends on whether Backseat's assumptions are true or flawed.
Anyone else just sad because some dude just straight up said "Yeah ur favourite game character is never coming to smash."
Just think about it as something for fun, math isnt really the main factor when sakurai decides to put a character.
Welcome to the club, us Decidueye fans have been here since august 2018.
Licensing is still the main boon for some of these characters. Those that were costumes before have high likelihood of coming back again as costumes. Most companies would likely renew the deal.
I'm talking about 3rd party costumes btw. Well maybe except the Chocobo ones lol.
Decidueye was hampered by his design. He's a bird that uses projectile. A humanoid wrestler bi-ped is still easier to do if you were on a time crunch.
Not me because My no 1 pick isn't that popular also my favourite game Character (Mega Man) is already in Smash Bros
Mine just got in :D
I feel these categories are unfair. Like gender doesn’t have a real say. It’s on gaming history not gender.
You're right, but the point of these videos is to operate based on precedent, "Smash MATH", meaning that these predictions are purely based on what's already happened. He doesn't mean to say for instance that they won't let in a character because they don't want too many girls, or that girl characters shouldn't get in; just that by looking at the trends of the past, this is what is mathematically likely.
This whole series is a joke based on fun hypotheticals. I think people are taking this too seriously.
You’re right but logically the pass technically dropped 2 female characters back to back (min min & Alex) so the last few characters are most likely going to be the main protagonist from whatever franchise they choose which rules out a lot of girl characters
"No more female characters"

"heavy wont be in smash"
Like the 3 other fighter packs: *no*
Heavy: some people can out-math me 'sniff' maybe maybe, but can they out-math bullet?
HEAVY FOR SMASH
Wow. You idiots forgot that there’s actually 4 spots left, not 3.
HEAVY FOR SMASH L
Edit: 3 fighters left. Sephiroth is in.
guys guys guys
Pacman, Mario, and Donkey Kong have all appeared on Futurama, which has had multiple crossovers with the Simpsons which has crossed over with Family Guy. And who is a recurring character in Family Guy? The Kool-Aid Man! Kool-Aid Man is confirmed for Smash!!
We could go even further and say that all the marvel characters are confirmed for smash because the kool aid man collabed with them
We can also say colonel sanders is confirmed
@@invertedmammal Explain?
Food theory
Honestly I just thought about a theory about all DLC's so far has some kinda special attacks with each of the fighters :
- Joker has the Persona Gauge
- Hero has the MP Gauge and Command Selection
- Banjo has the Side Special Wonderwing which is considered to be an invincible move
- Terry has the command imput like Ryu and Ken and that he has two different side b from the front and the back
- Byleth has different weapons attacks due to most fire emblem characters has too much swordfighters.
- Min Min has a very long range attacks with her long arms.
- Steve has the ability to put blocks on stage.
Like all these characters has some 'special' attacks that no other normal fighters has. So yeah I hope this theory is useful for y'all
Just putting this out there cause I would love to see Geno make it to smash, and using your theory, Geno could have a special thing where he has to time his special attacks kinda like Incineror’s side B but and he could use it with like Geno whirl or Geno beam or Geno blast and he could have another special move where he can get a buff from Geno boost and it can show up as a meter thing like hero, joker, and Steve does, this goes along nicely with your theory about special character abilities
@@osheaphillips3806 a smash character with a timed hit mechanic would be amazing
Something that ties in with this that also ties in with the characters original game would be to maybe allow Heavy to customize which weapons he is using before going into a fight just like in Tf2. each weapon would have a different effect on the opponent allowing for lots of customization and weapon combos to be used.
Crash, Rayman and Geno could be all very unique
@@alexerskine8473 3 fighters already did that and it's not even their big selling point.
Shantae’s death is something I may never get over
Same. She's a true indie icon...
Don't take it as gospel. I disagree with this video because it relies too heavily on every fighter pass mirroring that of the first one (another issue, they're only basing this off of one pack).
Don't rely this much on this video, Nintendo isn't one of those that maths can anticipate. We know they always wanna be unpredictable
@@JoJoboiWav yeah i dont think nintendo followed any formula or pattern when choosing the dlc characters
@@rebelredshirt_2188 Still, this way of trying to predict their action is interesting
Small correction: The Halo games are rated M, so the Halo/Doom quip isn't actually correct, unless you were just trying to be funny regarding the violence of the games or something
I mean, I STRONGLY doubt Sakurai uses math to decide who makes it in. He is here to make dreams happen, not to make math deconfirmed people. Probably gonna get r/woooshed but yea
Its just trying to use a logic to try to predict who is next. Similar to people making predictions based on rules like "no Assist Trophies/Spirits" and the like.
The fun will come when a person who was mathmatically impossible becomes the next pick and see how the math chance.
Bruh these are just fun joke videos
Well Nintendo actually chooses the DLC fighters
Well....
I know Heavy won’t get added, but if he doesn’t, I’m still going to be disappointed.
same
I don’t really know how they would make the heavy work, and he’s not really that popular outside of the pc gaming community.
I concur.
Same
Anything is possible
I’m not mad, but honestly when it came out, Doom was the most downloaded computer “software” ever... and he’s one of the biggest icons in all of gaming. Right alongside Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man, and master chief. I feel like he’s gonna make it in.
@Joshua Goodreau I’m sorry if my English’s kinda whack. My first language is actually French.
I get it...
When's the follow up coming cuz Mythra and Pyra deconfirmed this.
An interesting way of speculating new fighters, but it seems these calculations are just waiting to fall apart.
No offence I respect your work, but every time the fandom created a new rule it is shortly broken by the next newcomer. (Except for indie characters so far)
Plus I find it a bit hard to believe there isn't going to be another female only rep in the game. (I guess mathematics are sexist)
Maybe the next character to break the rule will be an indie... A Japanese indie girl protagonis, Reimu.
@@XradicalD Personally I want it to either be Frisk as an Undertale rep, as it would make more sense for the protagonist of a game to be the main representation than a character that only does something in one of the endings. Or a Hollow Knight rep either being the Knight itself, or maybe even Hornet as some sort of cross promotion close to silk song’s release. However I wouldn’t mind playing as Reimu, even though I never played a Touhou game before.
@@marxiplier4322 I only played that Touhou game everyone played, 6 I think. But more than interested in Reimu, I just think Sakurai has preferences for japanese IPs. So if it's an indie, it will be a Japanese one. Just a hunch.
Indie was broken with steve.
@@SCP--rj8hm I mean, Minecraft at this point does count as an indie?
There goes math again, ruining our lives in school and crushing our remaining hopes and dreams again now.
Honestly I’m just happy to learn that Reimu was in the top 10 most wanted
-pfp checks out-
Reimu Squad rise up
Reimu is in genso wanderer so actually she would be in cuation. Unless the requirement needs to be the main seires genre
I need the music remixes in smash
Before someone writes a whole 15 paragraph essay on why this can or can not work, I wanted to remind everyone that this is just my opinion of who I would really love to see no matter how unlikely it will be, please do not start anything silly and try to avoid any arguments over a fictional character, thanks
New Fighters Pyra and Mytheria might have broken the math unless rex's inclusion in taunts and final smash still counts as both
There’s still also the problem of era as they were put in the video as caution for the 2010s release... so yeah, I think the math is broken here.
I think it would interesting if you created a model that weighed the characters differently based on whether they’re DLC or not. Currently the model uses all current fighters and interpolates who else would fit the current roster, but I think it’s pretty clear that a lot of these DLC fighters are meant to change that roster in significant ways. If there’s a way to give the DLC fighters more weight and then you take into account how they change the trends of the roster, that would be a very interesting (and likely more accurate) video.
I know that these vids are largely just for fun though, and it certainly is for me when I watch them. Keep it up!
Of the five characters who are mathematically sound, I feel like Ryu has the best chance of getting in. They just feel like a missing link in the classic NES Smash lineup.
Is this a joke?
Because Ryu has been in smash since 2015
@@DogeKing909 it's hayabusa ben h i meant

He’s so BORING tho

Sephiroth is revealed. Time to re-analyze.
Perfect.
Not really...it doesn't change any possibilities so far. Maybe we can cross out any new FF/DQ characters but the rest is still fair game. I would wait until the next fighter is announced. THEN we can really start ruling out.
BTW love me some sephy on smash. He's the right kind of power/speed balance for me, and has good zoning (Not great but i'm not much of a zoner anyway).

nah sephiroth was math certified
Pyra and mythra revealed, the math falls apart
Imagine sometime in the near future. The last DLC character is about to be revealed.
The trailer starts.
We're somewhere in space looking at the far stars.
Then, suddenly a noise starts to get closer and closer. It appears to be coming from a spaceship.
The spaceship finally appears on screen. It is the Pilar of Autumn, and it's heading towards a Halo.
Then the man itself appears on screen inside the ship.
Master Chief finishes the fight!
Eh
Honestly it would be Poetic in a way on Master Chief being the last Fighter in Fighter Pass 2 to finish things off maybe.
And you get a character that shoot more that snake
I think you mean Buzz Lightyear... There's no way the final dlc isn't going to be buzz lightyear. Master chief would be great, but that would be another game rep, which is a bit much if you ask me.
In my personal and unimportant opinion, steve basically deconfirms master cheif
If Arle is paired with Carbuncle, then they could fit in the Both gender, as Carbuncle is male
That is actually rather fair since Carbuncle is always with her.
yes, excellent, thank you for saving my girl
as long as carbuncle doesn’t eat himself
The real thing we should all want is that the last slot for dlc isn't just another character in fighters pass.
But a story mode involving each character in a subspace emissary level pack. But I know it won't happen
Bruh they can’t just add an entire second game into their vanilla game. If y’all want a story based game in the Smash Universe, ask for a spin off. Otherwise, all we’re gonna get is an Okay fighting game with a mediocre story (Ultimate), or a great story with a subpar fighting game (Brawl).
@Agent Ombraura Dude. World of Light is absolute dogshit. And no, it is not because of the lack of cutscenes.
@Agent Ombraura look, okay, my point is that both aspects of each game could be better. And one of the reasons that they aren’t is that you’re essentially trying to cram an entire game within another game. I like World of Light, but the actual narrative story is incredibly lacking.
But narrative story is what people want out of a Smash Bros story mode, which is why people latched onto Subspace Emissary. But because SE was so big, Brawl as a fighting game suffered from rash, nonsensical development decisions, bad balancing, and abysmal online. Because they made the story mode better, the main fighting game had to suffer for development time.
Ultimate has its own share of problems, stemming mostly again from bad online, but also some major balance issues with a few characters (I don’t subscribe to tier lists, but characters like Mac, Kirby, and Ganondorf are extremely lackluster, while characters like Pit barely function at all), but overall it is one of the more Balanced Smash games for its cast size, coming at the cost of development for World of Light, which left much to be desired (there’s three lines of dialog in the whole thing, come on guys). Because the Devs focused more on the Fighting game itself, the story mode had to suffer for development time.
Do you see what I mean now? You can’t just make two whole games in a limited time frame and expect them both to be masterpieces, especially when one is as complicated as a fighting game. Having an independently developed canonical spin-off that takes place in the Smash universe would be a much better alternative, as it can be developed at its own pace without the constraints of the host fighting game’s release date.
@Agent Ombraura I dont care for the story of subspace, but at least it had level design. Wol is the most repetitive, easy, boring game mode ever in smash. Calling it an adventure mode is pathetic imo.
@Agent Ombraura opinions.
And with the reveal of Sephiroth today, RPG, Male, East, 1990s, Returning Publisher, and Returning Series (entire 3rd row) all get knocked out. It's looking like this math is solid!
Until Pyra and Mythra completely shattered that with their announcement yesterday. R.I.P. Math.
