My comments on and predictions for the good, bad and toxic options  characters would probably have from other users, namely YouTube, as well as what I personally think their success/popularity ratings will be. Keep in mind many of these are not my own opinions, especially the toxic sections, just complaints I feel like they would get on YouTube if it actually gets into being a real thing.

Beta Ajit: Overall Popularity Rating of 4/10 An unlikeable character that only has a very minor fanbase, literally everyone knows he will loose and has shitty sources. Probable first or second round loser, but will definitely give some good remixes.

Good: Mobile nostalgia like Angry Birds or Cut the Rope, League of Legends content like POP/STARS arrangements and vidoegamedunkey, cyborg sources are also decent and gives room for obscure content like Bionic commando

Bad: It's Ajit Pai. Shitty mobile games, annoying YouTube advertisement, funny fortnire and harlem shake and overused memes

Toxic: Ajit Pai is a hate sink character who is purposefully bad and unlikeable. "Harlem Shake is fuckin stupid" Lost his mecha sources that were his 'only saving graces' in KfAD2

Geno: Overall Popularity Rating of 7/10, very good sources, very good arrangement potential, not very toxic, aside from just having slightly tired sources compared to newcomers and new sources

Good: EXTREMELY good potential for arrangements with the Yoko Shimomura and SNES sources giving him many cult classics like Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana, as well as Kingdom Hearts which MANY people wanted more off. That and the Mario RPGs, which are arrangement goldmines. The Squaresoft sources are also a secret goldmine.

Bad: Very good but also niche sources we've heard a lot already. Keep in mind that even if this isn't on the SiIva channel, people will still compare it to us and of course follow the channel, and as such SiIva rips enough Mario already.

Toxic: Actually he's a pretty toxicity-free character. I feel like most anger towards him would mostly be from matchups or people saying he's 'irrelevant'.

Off the Hook ft. Paruko: Overall Popularity Rating is 6/10, likeable characters that are very popular, but not as much as they could be. Held back and likely to loose, but then again Mariya also had extremely niche sources.

Good: The non-video game chiptune is a HUGE buff, giving some REALLY popular and classic sources you can't go wrong with arrangements of like Anamanaguchi, Chipzel and Waterflame. Splatoon music is still good, just a tired source.

Bad: Not a very big buff compared to everyone else. The Splatoon sources are old and tired by enough we've heard two tournaments worth of them already, even if they DO have new expanded sources this time around. The post-2015 new Nintendo IPs really doesn't give them much of a buff, they're really just being carried by the chiptune and ink remixes, but Bendy is a controversial source and the one most people will think of.

Toxic: Pretty much the same complaint about enough Splatoon already.

"Weird Al" Yankovic: Overall Popularity Rating is 5/10, Lukewarm, everyone loves him but he really won't get very far, although we expect him to via just popularity and good sources alone.

Good: Weird Al is a very good source. Michael Jackson is a very good source. Extremely likeable character in the tournament. Polka isn't a very powerful source, but he can make original polka remixes of other character's sources to bump them up as well. Like The Jazz Cats or DJ Professor K, has pretty much literally any source, long as it's done in a polka style.

Bad: That's pretty much all they have. Pretty much BARELY got a change from his KfAD2 incarnation aside from a source that has potential, yet is very obscure and hard to arrange aside from constant fusion rips like Jazz Cats.

Toxic: Is however a pretty toxicity-proof character, he's took likeable and his music is too good. People will probably just be dissapointed by bracket placements and lack of new sources.

Revengers: Overall Popularity Rating is 5/10, good, and rather popular but with very mixed and polarizing reception due to the removal of the aliens, 'normie' stuff and niche content. A loaded gun of sources ready to backfire.

Good: Minecraft arrangements are a powerful yet unwieldy source. The rest of their arrangements are very good, yet obscure, will probably be carried by the Latin fanbase (if we even get one) and Minecraft sources.

Bad: Aside from Minecraft most of their sources are either kinda obscure or 'normie' picks. Most legit musicians or song genres fall into the 'normie' category I'll probably be mentioning a couple times, which basically means stuff popular irl by non-video game or SiIvaGunner fans like stuff on Vevo channels or popular animes. Anything you'd see in a Reccomended with a blank account basically or on the front page or Tending channel of YouTube.

Toxic: "minceraft is cring reee" Minecraft is also a reletively 'normie' pick itself these days which is why I kind of called it a loaded gun. powerful source, but with heavy backlash coming with it. Too popular and unless you rely on nostalgia like DJ Creepa in Temporary Flight Attendent, you aren't going to get anywhere. And even then people will accuse you of pandering for nostaglia, i.e. the HyperCam paradox. Also the Latin pop sources a re 'normie' picks and how can you have fun listening to things you can't even understand? Then of course there's the most toxic people who dislike those genres (now given to Popoy and Marcianito) for reasons boarding on racism so...

I'm going to do these analysises 5 at a time so as not to type too long, get iritated or spend forever typing something and get locked into not ebing able to posted and writing ridicilously long comments.
