Don't care. It's a theory that makes zero sense and was made up to justify this thing. He shouldn't have put it out there.

The willingness to make up things and throw them behind "people are saying" qualifiers extended this whole dumb thing well past how far it should have gone,
That's fair enough. I do think he's very gullible and naive regardless of what happens. But if he knows a guy who knows a guy who actually saw Banjo? I mean, who knows. Stranger things have happened.

Imran often comes off aggressive in these threads, I'd pay no mind to the way he talks about people.

Wait, I don't doubt they were influenced by the ballot but they were explicitly said to be? When?
In his Famitsu column, here: https://www.sourcegaming.info/2018/...smash-direct-sakurais-famitsu-column-vol-561/

King K. Rool in Smash

I referred to the Smash Ballot when selecting characters this time, and King K. Rool from the Donkey Kongseries was one who received a ton of votes. I haven't gone into detail about his moves or characteristics, but I feel it might be better to leave some room for imagination.

...

Echo Fighters

Chrom from the Fire Emblem series and Dark Samus from the Metroidseries are also joining the fray. I received many requests for both fighters from people in Japan and overseas, respectively.
For Ridley, he mentioned on Treehouse that he put Ridley in the game for Western fans, so it was more of an implication there.

Views on videos he demonetized? After his channel is already super small? I don't agree with that. He might be wrong. He might be being lied to. But I think he's genuine and being honest about what he's being told and what he feels. He at least comes across that way.

Uh...people have been looking for attention on the internet long before monetizing of videos was a thing. Some people just want the attention.

Ya know, if Sakurai wouldn't have jumped the gun and added in yet another FE rep with Corrin, we could have had a much stronger case for a potential Dragalia Lost rep. Would much rather have someone from that franchise do the whole dragon transformation thing rather than a barefooted 18th FE character.

I can't believe people would use Chrome's Inspect tool to change the content of a page and pass it off as real. Shame on anyone who does such a thing.

I know that it seems less and less unlikely, but I still want to believe I'm team real now

I really have to wonder about how the DLC for this game is going to go. We've been saying forever that Springman and Rex and basically guaranteed, but I wonder if Sakurai will prioritize fan requests, third parties, or just do a mix of both.
I'm so glad geno is not going to be in

No offense to his fanS


Tony hawk for dlc
Do you really need to constantly remind everyone how much you hate Geno? Like, I don't care for Ayumi or Style Savvy, but I don't go around telling everyone repeatedly.

With the caveat that I could not condemn harassment, death threats, and any abhorrent behavior of that nature more strongly. . .I hope, if against all odds and hints from insiders, the Grinch Leak is true, they undergo at least some introspection. Personally speaking, regardless of intent, when people only ever allude to what they know in one-line "it's wrong and I won't elaborate why" responses, specifically to people getting excited about Smash characters, it comes off as elitist. As though that person has some impulse to be paternalistic and police discussion, when it's such a minor deal if a few people get angry because their expectations aren't met. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

The Grinch very well may be fake, and that's fine, this game is going to be superlative no matter what, but no one is at fault for not taking insider one-liners at face value, when the banner and surroundings are so singularly well crafted, and when the details from people who elaborated under pressure are wildly conflicting. If all those people are somehow missing something, whether because their information is outdated or they're not well-sourced within specific companies, it would be nice to get not an apology, but some sort of admission that, hey, maybe the people we smirked at like PapaGenos were on to something.

I am worried about the fallout no matter what, and that if Grinch is real, the internet's dirty underbelly will be extremely scummy to the insiders. Everyone stay safe. But any kind of discussion of what would hypothetically be blind spots for a historic number of insiders is not in and of itself "toxic."

Let's look on the bright side: While we may disagree about everything else, at least the argument that Ultimate is just a port of Smash 4 is a distant memory now.

Because I'm a salty Zelda fan.

for those who played super mario rpg and got any idea as to what i'll talk about: do you think that if geno is revealed tomorrow it should have mallow somewhere in his moveset, or straight up have mallow as AT instead ?
