Off topic, but it feels like I'm living in a hyperbolic time chamber when it comes to Smash discussion.

It was only a few months ago that we were arguing over which characters might be cut from the upcoming Smash game.

It literally feels like years.
It's heartbreaking to think that we'll probably have to worry about cuts next go round. We're really living the dream.

Yet everyone's still flinging shit at eachother, maybe even more so than with smash 4. I wonder why?

I couldn't feel more opposite. I feel like it's been ages since the August Direct. The wait for this game to come out feels like forever.

Just catching up. Sounds exciting, but keeping expectations in check as always

To be fair I never 100% believed the banner leak because BK just seemed too crazy a gain. If they're fake then that's no super biggie to me because I... sorta expect it? lol
Rhythm Heaven rep tho... I really hope they'll get their chance to shine, in the base roster or as DLC in the future!

Random tweet: what if Banjo's internal codename IS Incineroar? like, I don't mean in the code of the game, but in the e-mails between employees and stuff?
That would be hilarious. I don't think things work that way though.

I'm now imagining an email convo between Sakurai and Phil Spencher talking about "Incineroar".

Hey Neiteio could you write up a funny convo like that?

At this point I feel the release of the game is sooner than getting a Direct/ new information on it.

Helps the release has a date tied with it

Then you clearly weren't here this past month when the discussion was dominated by people standing by Kencineroar and the box theory.

Honestly, it was soooooo boring.

No, I've been here, but boring doesn't mean it's wrong.

And it doesn't require me to believe Sakurai removed half a waterfall for no reason. Or that they trusted a random French company with secret characters, but can't risk putting the full roster on the special edition box in case their own employees leak.

But, sure, ignoring all the errors in the fake banner to dream about Banjo has been fun.

I doubt it, but that would be very funny if true.

Speaking of, I think they should consider using codenames within the game's code in order to prevent data mining leaks. That's what we do at the software company I work for.

Like when Secret Service calls for president Eagle or whatever. You refer to an individual as something different from their real name to keep secrecy.

I do admit it's a kooky theory.

That'd be smart if the big companies did do that. Give different names and code names to mix characters up.

You mean his "sources" "source". And they could be BSing him.

I said source Microsoft source.

"Good morning everyone. Sakurai here.

I hope you all had a nice weekend, and that you are ready to begin work this Monday. That said, I have been overlooking some of last week's work and I'm concerned about some of the details. Incineroar's flying animation looks too choppy from frame 30 to 45, so I would like you to redo them."

I think Banjo has a good chance of being DLC.

The argument of Nintendo and Microsoft being chummy was hard to say in 2015 but it's true now in 2018 and both would gain a lot if Banjo made it in even as DLC.

I'm sure they'll come home guys just not soon at launch

Maybe Banjo is known to be a DLC. I doubt Steve would be such a jerk to PapaGeno unless he had definitive proof that Banjo wasn't on the base roster.

It would be funny if the banner leak was real but the leaker drew over incineroar with banjo just cause he was salty

I'm beginning to think it's something like the above. Someone who actually works on marketing material for Smash showed their friends the cool dream roster they came up with that also happens to include art for characters who are in the game but we haven't seen yet.

If Isaac does end up in the game, his character drawing will be telling with its unique pose.

Any rumors of Directs coming up?

I was hoping for a Halloween smash direct featuring skull kid. :(

I mean, if you wanna believe in box theory, then you do you. But practically everyone, grinch leak or not, has said that Box theory is dead.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Incineroar is Banjo. That's what confuses everyone who is in the know. I'm banking on this now.

I'm wondering what other insiders think of Mystic's info? And I also wonder if they're confused at the fact he didn't mention the 100% confirmed Chorus Kids?

No fear, no loss, no tears
The time is almost here
Our dreams will all come true, I promise you

They are song lyrics. Relax
Not my dream

Hell the last time smash bros got a unique zelda newcomer in 2001
As a 3 year old I was not inteliggent enouph to desire Zelda characters in smash

So in a way my dream of new unique Zelda news comers has never been achieved in my time as an aware human
