Revision as of 03:32, June 6, 2013

Everyone knows/expects a SSB4 trailer (or at least, screenshots) at E3 2013. So let's put some bets on who you think will show up. Note that this is solely based on the initial reveal and has nothing to do with who will eventually appear in the final game.

Rules

  • Disclaimer: This may or may not be a fair game, I cannot know. It's purely for fun. Try not to go all super-math minmax serious.
  • Players get 100 Smash Coins.
  • Put as much money as you want on characters and some other things being confirmed. You don't have to use all your money or use whole numbers.
  • If something you put money on is confirmed, you get your money back times the odds multiplier. Otherwise you lose your cash.
  • Whoever wins the most may or may not get some sort of prize. A custom Smash Bros.-related desktop or something seems reasonable, maybe I'll figure something out. Don't expect much, this is just for fun.

Odds

If you disagree with some odds, complain on the talk page, preferably before you throw in your money and definitely before E3 kicks off.

Veterans

You may place bets based on which characters will appear.

Mario Luigi Dr. Mario Peach Bowser Yoshi Wario Donkey Kong Diddy Kong Link Young Link1 Toon Link2 Zelda3 Sheik3 Ganondorf Samus4 Zero Suit Samus4 Kirby Meta Knight King Dedede Fox Falco Wolf Pikachu Jigglypuff Pichu Mewtwo5 Pokémon Trainer6 Squirtle6 Ivysaur6 Charizard6 Lucario Captain Falcon Ness Lucas Ice Climbers Marth Roy Ike Mr. Game & Watch Pit Olimar R.O.B. Sonic Snake
1.01 8.0 35.0 2.5 2.5 1.3 1.6 1.3 2.5 1.01 12.0 10.0 4.0 4.5 7.5 1.3 2.0 1.01 1.5 2.5 1.3 8.0 15.0 1.01 12.5 50.0 25.0 6.5 6.5 6.5 6.5 15.0 10.0 12.5 11.0 5.0 15.0 40.0 15.0 50.0 3.5 6.0 45.0 7.0 7.0

1 Sensibly-proportioned, non-adult Link.
2 Cell-shaded, big-head Link.
3 2.0 odds for predicting "still linked characters", 10.0 odds for predicting otherwise.
4 2.0 odds for predicting "still linked characters", 7.0 odds for predicting otherwise.
5 5.0 odds for predicting "new forme appearance".
6 Given odds assume no change. 11.0 odds for predicting the Trainer with at least 1 different Pokémon. 20.0 odds for predicting a Pokémon without the Trainer. 17.0 odds for a different Trainer with the same Pokémon.

Newcomers

You may place bets of two types:

  1. "New character from X series". Odds are as given.
  2. "Character Q (from X series)". Odds will be doubled.
Mario series 1.1
Yoshi subseries 2.5
WarioWare subseries 4.0
DK series 1.5
Zelda series 1.4
Metroid series 5.0
Kirby series 2.5
Pokémon series 3.0
F-Zero series 25.0
EarthBound series 25.0
Fire Emblem series 6.0
Kid Icarus series 4.0
Pikmin series1 15.0
Sonic series 25.0
Metal Gear series 25.0
New series, first-party 1.5
New series, third-party (Namco) 1.8
New series, third-party (other) 4.0

1 5.0 odds if new character looks to be an Olimar clone/replacement from Pikmin 3.

Trailer details

Like newcomers, being specific in something will double your payout, or possibly even more depending on how specific it is.

Preceded with "here's the SSB trailer" 1.7
Opens with the title logo 1.6
Opens with a couple of characters readying up 1.3
First characters shown are Flagship Four (Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu) 1.2
Uses "Challenger Approaching"-esque silhouettes as character-reveal mechanic 3.7
At least one Final Smash shown1 1.4
Gameplay/video ratio >= 67%2 2.3
Gameplay/video ratio <= 33%2 1.6
Looks like a veteran has a new/altered move 2.1
What looks to be an altered mechanic 2.0
What looks to be a new mechanic 2.0
Something that appears to be adventure-mode-related 4.5
Contains large explosion 1.5
Has false ending 6.0
Uses "Challenger Approaching"-esque silhouettes to tease future announcements 7.5

1 Or at least most people agree it looks like one (see Wario Waft).
2 As in, amount of obvious gameplay shown versus obvious non-gameplay.

Other

Give me a bet that isn't listed above on the talk page and I'll create some odds for it. Then you'll argue it until the Nintendo Direct starts and lose your money since it didn't happen anyway. But hey, your perogative.

Entries

You may bet on as many things as you want. You may change your bets at any time until the ND starts (or we get a huge leak that ruins everything).
