I Challenged Gamers to Predict E3 2021... With Mixed Success 

Which of the many debunked rumours do you think will turn out to actually be correct in the near future?

Backseat Gaming for Smash, it fits the math perfectly!

At least i can rejoice that youtube still isn't worse than twitter

People kinda always mention the same 20 characters when talking about the future Smash newcomers,and they were only right 2 or 3 times.

Question 15's youtube section be like: "let's be realistic here.... *_no"_*

The real question some of us are curious about, is Kazuya *MATH CERTIFIED!?*

I think this poll just shows us all the power of pessimism

IT WILL HAPPEN NEXT YEAR I SWEAR THERE WILL BE MOTHER SERIES REMASTERED COLLECTION, SWITCH PRO, DONKEY KONG 64 2, A NEW 3D MARIO, AND PORTAL 3 WILL BE SHOWN AT E3 2022 MY PREDICTIONS WERE JUST CALIBRATED INCORRECTLY AND I WAS A YEAR OFF

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good Backseat Gaming’s choice of background music is? Great video as always!

I wanna see if you can predict the 2022 E3 with math?

Man, this was a fun video! Hopefully we'll have an E3 next year to do this with...right?

Failboat's bingo, i think it had 3-4 out of around 20 that weren't in it, he predicted almost everything

We only got the one Japanese spikey haired man not two. Me seeing Phoenix Wright: that really crushed me! Don't put him down for the count like that!

Can you do a Smash Math video on who is most likely to be the final DLC fighter?

Again, your editing always amazes me. This time in particular, your music choices and timing. Satisfying.

This was a lot of fun!!! I would love something similar next year!

never been so hyped for statistics before haha, keep up the great work, love your vids :)

Backseat's videos are always a treat!

This channel is one of the best around.

I really love your content Backseat! You have a fantastic way of combining random statistics and humor that makes every one of your videos, even those for games I have no relationship to whatsoever, entertaining. Keep being awesome!

This is one of the greatest channels on RU-vid and I love the creativity you always display with topics, editing, and sense of humor. I'm always looking forward to what you put out next and this video was definitely another fun one to see. It's silly that I didn't even consider those Twitter polls would be the subject of a video at the time!

With an 18/20, plus a new Metroid game, I walked away from this all very happy and satisfied.

If you just answered no to all the questions, you'd have a result of 90% correct guesses. I guess we really should stop listening to rumours...

I was waiting for this

Backseat - one backside to RU-vid polls is that the first option always has an advantage - it always happens

I still think the DK rumour is true, it was just that they were working on one, not that it would be announced

Here's an idea for a video: Every Mario enemy ranked by how good of a pet they could be.

What to take away from the video: Nintendo doesnt care about your feelings and does whatever the flip they want

OMFG you use ring fit music for background music? can you please marry me? Also I loved the small ring fit break, truly amazing content

How have you not hit 1 mil subs yet

Awesome video!

Gabe HAS counted up to 3, so it IS possible that there will be a third game released at some point, i don't know when, or which game it will be, but it will be one

Amazing Video. Never played Fortnite, but with the new addistion of Book Characters (Mistborn) basically ANYBODY can be in that game. Unless a mathmagician used spreadsheets to figure it out.

That coin flip at the end hurt my heart

Thanks so much for featuring me 😆

Never has the ending DR tune been so accurate

The next video should be the Crimes of Tails.

4:40 hey look it's me!!

Kind of surprised you didn't ask about 2d Metroid considering how heavily that was rumoured.

NICE VIDEO!

I didn't participate in any of the polls, but the Donkey Kong one definitely would have tripped me up. It just sounded right, if that makes any sense.

How on earth did I not notice this is what all the polls were for

New Switch Pro revealed today

I was more amused at how out of 20 predictions, only 2 of them actually came true

Rule #1 of game announcements: Never have optimism.

This guy posts exclusively bangers but only has 40k? This will not do

This guy is under rated

Imagine Team Cherry pulled a complete 180 and showed Silksong

We’re back!!

Guess we actually got the Switch Pro, somewhat…

Proud to say I predicted a new mario party game, sure I put it under the RU-vid 3D mario game poll thinking we were just talking about any old mario game, but I take the wins where I can get them.

Can someone please tell me what editing software does Backseat use? I’m planning on starting my channel but I’m looking for good options before I spend my money.

I answered the RU-vid polls when they originally came out, and I got 13/20 right. For some reason my dumb brain clicked "Yes" to the new Switch when I didn't even believe the rumors, and I really was thinking Sony would come out from behind the curtain

I actually predicted that we would get a Tekken rep way back in December.

Can’t believe everything on the internet… the bear and bird will return!!!!

We're more likely to get an Ice Climber sequel than Mother on Switch at this rate.

Man i really hope donkey kong gets a new game soon man. If Nintendo forgot about their 40th anniversary i think i’ll cry.

I think the video would be more fun if we saw the percentages first, and THEN the reality of what happened.

Can we get an RE3make update video? I know it’s been a while but I’m still interested to see what you have to say.

YAYYYYYYY WE WON

I only ended up voting in like 12 of these, and I got maybe 4 correct? I believed in DK and Metroid too much

Twitter's acuraccy rating is 64%? perfect.

8.5K views?! With this quality video?! Blasphemy!

Did you change the thumbnail? And why

in the first video you talked about chulip can you do that with west of loathing? like so he can see

Kinda surprised that Lego Star Wars the Skywalker Saga wasn’t in the polls 🤔

I suppose we learned that we shouldn't ever hope for anything new at E3, because we'll most likely be wrong. Good to know!

Funny how out of all of them, only 2 of the 20 questions had the optimistic answer being correct. Well, depending on your view on whether wanting Microsoft to become more of a Blade Runner nightmare megacorp monopoly is optimistic or not.

You didn't post it, but I would have found the pessimism percents(yes compared to no) of RU-vid vs Twitter as Twitter are known for toxicity

14:13 im famos

Just putting it out there, I voted Yes on Elden Ring before the rumor popped up.

Can you do a best friend list for Mario and danganronpa characters

0:23 whats the song used? Please help :(

Remember folks. Good things dont exist. Never expect them.

fIrSt But seriously really excited. I'm sure we were all wrong.

5:35 Especially on this channel. It's mathematically impossible that you haven't. It's also impossible as you just mentioned it and then said that you probably heard of it (as in just a second ago) making the impossible even more impossible, which is actually quite a feat as "impossible" is normally an absolute adjective. Well phrased, Backseat, well-phrased indeed. 6:20 No, you would rather say that a Woman is an inanimate object due to having a dragon-themed prosthesis. Whether that's better or worse than admitting defeat is debatable. 9:13 I still wonder why this is even a question. What has Nintendo to gain from it? Having a game come later to Switch, but you can play it right now via GamePass on this very device? Sounds like a recipe for a PR disaster...

Ok I know you said birdo would be the final smash character but that video came before kazuya. So if you want to don't want to do another one, fine by me. It's just a suggestion.

Okay but who predicted Danganronpa on the switch

You still haven’t respond to my Luigi being criminal debunked but that’s ok this video good

Ahh yes

POYO

Yo

I gave joke answers for a few of these polls, so uh... sorry about that.

Banjo & Kazooie are British you [Insert British slang here]

6:15 Look on the bright side; At least your math correctly predicted ½ of a character (Pyra)

How many people do you think will change their votes?

How much people voted?

im 2 minutes in and TWITTER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Isn't Half Life Alysum... Half Life Elyssium... Half Life Alice... Half Life Alias, whatever. Isn't the VR Half Life the 3rd?

Hello elden ring

But what about Verizon

So is smash math dead?

Positivity, what's that? Some kind of cheap rip-off of negativity?

Those who voted on RU-vid AND Twitter celebrating every win, twice.

Can you revise your smash math? The plat former calculation was inaccurate

I won’t follow you on Twitter because I don’t have a account nor will ever have a account.

Please do not put big words so up close to the screen like at 16:41. They are very hard to read and considering how often this happened it really halted my enjoyment of the video. Please if you are reading this can you not do it again?

Comment

These were pretty Nintendo centric and too hopeful predictions. A bit of a boring video due to that.

I'm sorry, I really love your editing and style of videos but this one is really boring... good idea, bland results.
