He only needs to drink our tears, no need for food. Next time we see him, he'll be an infant.

Wait, is there a reason why I see some people mentioning Isaac as an AT ?

I could have missed something but I think people are getting overly excited. People were discussing that it would be strange if Isaac returned from Brawl to just be an assist trophy again, Ryce pointed out that Grey Fox did, and a few people seemed to think that was a confirmation although Ryce says he doesn't know any assist trophies and was just participating in the discussion.

Any character removal is going to be some dirty shit that's going to cause a lot of blowback. I seriously hope no company jumping on board is considering that as an option.
I presume they'll have an agreement that locks Microsoft in. Smash Bros games have extremely long tails, so I think that would be a huge concern if it would happen.
That concern would be the same if it were any other third party. I think Nintendo and Sakurai would do well to keep the license for the character for however long they need it
.


I ask because I'm wondering if Banjo being in the base game means that there would be an agreement to keep him in permanently, rather than DLC that could be delisted.

Emily stated earlier that one or more of the supposed playable characters in the Grinch leak are Assist Trophies. Isaac is a likely candidate for that.

Basically. Ryce was just saying that there's precedent for it, meaning it wouldn't necessarily be that strange if Isaac became an AT again, but nothing he said was disconfirming Isaac at all. That's solely people just making their own guesses

Regardless of the outcome come Thursday, people should just be happy to have a Smash Direct, have excitement to discuss the roster additions, stages, and modes. Right, wrong, or otherwise shouldn't matter. Everyone is looking forward to the game and we can unite with that as a common ground and look forward to the game's launch.

(And also, that picture is meant to highlight the newly announced Rathalos, not be some sneaky Golden Sun tease.)
Sakurai has already said he thinks twice about what he tweets. If he thought twice here he'd know what people would think, he's more knowledgeable about Nintendo than most here. And yet he tweeted it.

Yeah, we're all here for the love of Smash. Or at least I think we are. The "teams" are divided over a pretty trivial issue that we're probably going to forget soon after the game comes out.

I know there are people that are, for reasons I don't understand, aggressively anti-geno, but I'm pleasantly surprised that even 20 years later people still Stan that little puppet. I never would have guessed support would still be this strong after I'd completely given up on him after Brawl.

I really hope we get an assist trophy at least, or a decent competitive moveset for mii Gunner so I can rep him in some form. Either way, I am so happy to see people talking about him at all.

Support for Geno never waned

I think a lot of people just started to ignore him after his Banjo theory which was complete nonsense. I like the guy, but his leg is getting pulled. Hopefully no one DOX's him after the direct.

How do you know his leg is getting pulled? Dismissing anything on its face as "complete nonsense" is just begging to be proven wrong, like the people who laughed about "no DK reps" the night before the Aug. 8 Direct.

I'm suspicious, the rumors of Minecraft content to Vergeben had to have their roots in something Microsoft-related, and they surely weren't making that effort for STEVE.

If Geno is in does he get a different icon representing Mario RPG specifically?

Imagine a Groundhog Day style movie where Bill Murray is waiting for tomorrow's Nintendo Direct, but whenever he goes to sleep he's waking up the day before the Direct.

Geno was and forever will be my Mario RPG mvp. I picked up and mained mii Gunner for awhile when his costume was added. I've always wanted him to be back .

I got the Mystic and Emily Rodgers stuff but what's going on with other leaks and rumors after the banner/grinch leak stuff? What did Ryce and other insiders say?

FYI: I did clarify my position with a much clearer post. The post you're linking was my response to EatChildren.

His theory about replacing Inciniroar with Banjo when talking with Microsoft this E3 is completely flawed unless they delayed the game. Wasn't that how they added Sonic? Last minute addition and they delayed the game for that inclusion.

the very fact that we're still talking about geno is proof of how popular and demanded he is

it's his time to shine
