Predicting Smash Ultimate's Fighters Pass 2... with MATH

Everyone has their predictions for which characters will be in Smash Ultimate's second Fighters Pass based on their love for video gaming and expertise in the game's mechanics. But... we can do one better. I'm using math to boil down the existing roster and forecast who will be coming FOR CERTAIN in the next fighters pass using that data. No opinions here, just pure irrefutible mathematics (please don't refute my mathematics).

*Sees Danganronpa as a rep* YES FINALLY THE MATH TELLS MONOKUMA AS A POSSIBLE INCLUSION. For reals I would love the ost to be in Smash

[@anidiot192]

Honestly I don't understand why you'd go with monokuma when hajime is *way* easier to make a moveset for, because you're more uninhibited with his moveset than with monokuma, because you'd have to have a reason that the character has that move. Which leads me to ask, what would monokuma have? He doesn't really attack at all if you're not looking at UDG, and even then the normal monokuma doesn't even have that much, meanwhile hajime is good at _everything_ so you can give him just about _anything_

[@catcactus1234]

Jog Swanson I’d say it’s probably because Monokuma is the mascot for the series. He’s easily the most recognizable and he has an interesting and unique design to him. They could easily give him some movesets that aren’t directly melee based, probably more range based like making poles rise from the ground (Junko’s “death” in the first game), using a bat (Leon’s execution), or throwing random knick knacks like bombs at his opponents (in reference to how many times he explodes) since he is a more defensive creature after all. Tbh I don’t know why they would choose Hajime at all. He has an interesting talent, sure, but he’s kind of a blank slate with no real personality or defining features outside of that. It would be much harder coming up with fitting move sets for him.

@PerefL I agree...well, I'd cap it at 90%, but same idea. He's been my dream pick since Brawl, but we're gonna have to be content with him being a rather infamous spirit. But like so many characters, it's only a rule until we find an exception!

[@8bitdill245]

@PerefL Since when? If Chrom can be in a final smash and as a fighter then I think fighters can be spirits aswell. Especially considering Pikachu is a spirit and a fighter.

[@victorford5047]

@PerefL I wouldn't say that if I were you, the next character is from ARMS.

[@victorford5047]

@PerefL It's kind of intimidating to think that this next Fighter will set the rules if Spirits/Costumes/Assist Trophies can join or not. -Spring Man: Everyone can. -Ribbon Girl: Spirits and Costumes can. -Min Min, Twintelle or Ninjara: Spirits can. -Literally anyone else: Spirits, Assist Trophies and Costumes can't.

[@IanTEBEnumclaw]

This was incredibly made! The music has great timing, the editing is on point and satisfying to look at, your commentary and scripting is great, the math is smart, and had you talk about things for the perfect amount of time. While the roster doesn't directly please me, this is not your fault. Great video!

Not gonna lie. I couldn’t stop smiling when I heard the 'Danganronpa'

[@DougieDarko]

I could honestly see Monokuma or a Danganronpa rep making it in - It's the series's tenth anniversary this year. - It would be the completely out of left field surprise pick like Joker was. - Tons of spirits and songs to choose from. - Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Sakurai also said he's a fan of Danganronpa in the past (though Nintendo picks the characters from the sounds of things so it really would be up to them, but Sakurai could have some pull. I still doubt it will happen, but I have hope as I'm a huge fan of the Danganronpa series and would love to see it in Smash.

[@mintycrossing4484]

i can see danganronpa getting into smash and it makes me really happy. there's limitless possibilities for what you can do. it would be cool to see a pokémontrailer-like monokuma character in the game, where you can swap between him and the other variants of him throughout the games, and junko is off to the side controlling him. i can also see the various protags getting in too. idk if spike chunsoft would want to bring back danganronpa hype, but it would be good marketing for them because i think they have a new game coming out soon.
