Oh, I know damn well I cause a shit storm in that thread every time I try to call out Fatmanonice or Sabi on their bullshit because the thread can't stand it without going into hyper phalanx defense mode. And naturally the first comment more or less in response takes issue with me pointing out Sabi's transphobic comments and saying, "I just have a difference of opinion with them and that I'm discrediting them on that" (I also listed all of the other ways that Sabi has been problematic for months, but yes, dial in on why we shouldn't criticize Sabi for transphobic comments). There's a number of Geno fans that either seem to be "enlightened centrists" or "bordering on alt-right," and that's just horribly depressing.

I'm going to be brutally honest. The more I interact with that thread, the closer I inch to just straight up not caring about Geno anymore, it's just getting that bad (or my tolerance for it has largely evaporated). I know I just need to take a break from the thread, but I just did that for a while and it honestly didn't get any better, so I don't even know anymore. If I drop Geno, I'm straight up stanning for KOS-MOS in his place (partially because I do feel really bad for being such a pessimistic ass about her chances, and also because the more I think about her, the more I really, really want her in Smash).



To be fair to him, he was saying that other people were saying that (insiders) and trying to specifically defend himself as not being that bad. Though the way he phrased his commentary does leave much to be desired and framing Tracer as anime weeb bullshit in any capacity just straight up reveals his hand.

All the more ironic given that Geno is basically anime trash in the form of the "bad-ass" archetype if those characters are so supposedly such.

I really didn't appreciate him insulting her even if he tried to do it in a less mean way. I hope she gets in just to see what he says and hell people in the newcomer thread just aren't very appreciative of any KOS-MOS discussion.

If character 5 is KOS-MOS I'm bringing back 4chan Cat Theory and you'll all have to suffer through that for months, I hope y'all are okay with it.

I mean it will be the best. Some people want Reimu here and Ktotheroc wants Hayabusa. I want KOS-MOS and so do others. Hope it is real so we can all be happy.

Street Fighter's first ever guest character is Sukapon

he and Seth will probably get along pretty well

Basically someone who used a cat picture on 4chan got Hero's and Banjo's codenames right and then someone with the same picture came back after and said that KOS-MOS was fighter 5 and Reimu and Hayabusa are the two after.

Thing is, there's no real proof that the two people are the same.

Personally I'm okay with KOS-MOS and Reimu so I wouldn't mind if it were real. Shame about Ryu 2 though.

Wonder Red VS. Viewtiful Joe should be one of the most obvious match-ups in a versus game, yet even if Nintendo VS. Capcom existed it still probably wouldn't happen.

Here are the two posts:


But yeah, post #2 came after a PapaGenos video that mentioned post #1 so it would be the easiest thing in the world to copycat

To be fair outside of being red masked superheroes that were made by Hideki Kamiya whose games didn't do that well Wonder Red and Viewtiful Joe aren't that similar personality wise

I feel like that GameXplain video wasn't discussed enough, particularly the part where they said Fighter 5 is definitely Rex

I know they didn't say that

2B or Chun-Li would be hype

What if it's Bo Jackson from Tecmo Super Bowl

On the topic of Rex. Kind of. It seems Sky Bennett who's Pyra and Mythra's VA has done a discussion with Gamexplain for Xenoblade 2's Second Anniversary. NGL I really like how active she is with the Xenoblade community even now... which is why Pyra and Mythra are making it in

You know what would be funny? If in the end they had no Smash reveal at all in the Awards, and Nintendo just decided to show other things, while saving Smash for a January Direct or something

So the rumors now are that #5 isn't Hayabusa, Crash, Doomslayer, or a few others, and is from a JRPG?

I want to believe Neku but I know it won't happen. Mayyyyyybe Demi-Fiend?

The rumor of the day is that it was probably Lloyd and you're an idiot if you think it's a weeb character like KOSMOS but also it's definitely not Lloyd and it's either KOSMOS or Nightmare

but it's not an NIS rep

We've been mostly ignoring Sabi's "I know who it's not" routine for a reason.

Yeah I don't realistically see KOS-MOS over a lot of characters. Lloyd I could see as possiblity though.

I'd be pretty bummed if they don't announce Character 5 at TGA, because then I'll be stuck watching that dumb show for no reason.

I have other announcements to look forward during the awards (hopefuly a new Crash game) so night won't worthless for me anyway. I personally do think Nintendo will bring a Smash reveal yet again for the show, but wouldn't be the end of the world if they didn't

Yup. I'm debating whether or not I'm going to watch TGA for that exact reason.

I don't know how much putting up with Geoff Keighley sucking up to Kojima is worth it.

.........I actually like watching the Game Awards.


Of course I'm also hoping for a trailer for Bayonetta 3.
I don't mind watching The Game Awards either.

Of course, it's mostly for the announcements, but the music performances are usually neat too (Imagine Dragons + Koji Kondo in 2014, Mick Gordon's Doom performance in 2016, etc). Sometimes i'm invested in the awards themselves (2017 in particular), but it takes a backseat.

I honestly do like the Game Awards. Like most things in gaming, crass commercialism and "advertisements as content" cling to the whole thing like barnacles on a whale, but there's a lot of nice, relatively classy stuff sprinkled through there - gaming legacy awards, a full orchestra, good stuff like that. It's like a bonus E3 near the end of the year... like, even without Smash, there's bound to be some good announcements.
