Forgive me for prying, but why exactly do you still think Cacomallow has a chance of being real? I can understand making something in advance (lots of games are in development for YEARS), but for a pair of Mii hats? As in, not even full-on costumes? If they were real, I'm sure they would've released them by now, with or without Doomguy/Geno.Doomguy will be epic! Also Doomguy + Geno would prove that leak!
Hope the best for Doomguy + my boy!
With or without Cacomallow, I think Geno chances to be playable are brighter than ever and he will indeed be playable right now in this Smash, after so much evidence and Fan Demand fulfilled.Forgive me for prying, but why exactly do you still think Cacomallow has a chance of being real?

I'm not trying to ruin anything for you (I've seen you on the Geno thread: you're definetly one of the more passionate fans), I just want to try and understand why people still think there's a chance, given the circumstances.
I think the interview as a whole was a devastating blow to Doomguy's chances and speculation around him as a whole. I don't necessarily think it was a straight up deconfirmation though. The ONLY way I'll 100% rule out Doomguy is if he officially gets deconfirmed by Nintendo or Sakurai. Whether that be through an interview, spirit event, or Mii Costume. I don't care as long as it's a solid deconfirm. It's also a shame that you really can't talk about Doomguy POSSIBLY being in Smash anymore without someone bringing up that interview, and basically treating Doomguy like he's not even worth talking about anymore. Now I'll be the first to admit I'm not particularly confident about his chances, or him being a fighter, but that's not going to stop me from thinking about the low percent chance of him actually making it in.My big problem with Cacomallow is the inconsistency with it and the previous leak and, for that reason, I don’t think it’s specifically real. Nonetheless I do find it funny that Doom Slayer is considered disconfirmed by the interview from a while back when that business decision would probably lie on Bethesda than Id. Id would come in for development of course so if they’re bantering actually did go farther than the Vault Boy costume and Doom Slayer is, say, Fighter 10. He very possibly could’ve just entered development and cause that interview to be outdated.
I know it’s reaching but I kinda feel like something about the wording of the interview seems weird to me.
People in general have no patience these days. They don't wait and see if something does/doesn't happen, and generally just assume things that must be true without any proof until causality slaps them across the face.I mean we also had people that jumped to saying the Eternal Switch port was cancelled. Deconfirmation bias, gotta love it.
Agreed on that front. I'm just getting sick and tired of people bringing up that interview as the ultimate linchpin against such discussions.I think the interview as a whole was a devastating blow to Doomguy's chances and speculation around him as a whole.

Sounds good on paper, but after the ton of glitches that occurred just from implementing said gimmick, I'm not sure the fanbase would be ready to go through that again.Say, I just had a thought: remember that idea I had a long while back where Doom Slayer had a unique Glory Kill animation for every Fighter?
Well, after Steve, I'm a little more hopeful that this can happen. I mean, Sakurai was willing to rewrite every single stage in Smash Ultimate to accommodate his mining and crafting gimmick. I feel if he's able to do that, then he can animate unique Glory Kills for all the Fighters. Just sayin'.
I mean, to be entirely fair, I don't know how long Steve's been in development, but the glitches were probably the result of having to work remotely during the quarantine. I mean, we're in like what, Month 8 of COVID? Steve's been planned for 5 years, yeah, but the quarantine period probably was a big factor in terms of actually developing the character.Sounds good on paper, but after the ton of glitches that occurred just from implementing said gimmick, I'm not sure the fanbase would be ready to go through that again.
I agree pretty much will all you said. The interview does not deconfirm 100% (the only true deconfirmation is being a Mii Costume, a spirit this late in the speculation game in an event or by Nintendo/Sakurai themselves. But it does hurt him in some way. It's just up to the time to see if something else pans out or what.I think the interview as a whole was a devastating blow to Doomguy's chances and speculation around him as a whole.

Hmm... Doom Guy revealed at TGA 2020...? You know, the thought clicked with what happened back in TGA 2018; we got the surprise reveal of Joker as CP 1 for SSBU. Now what a coincidence it would be that two years later, if no DOOM Eternal news come up before November is over, that they decide to shadowdrop the news at TGA along with a surprise reveal of Doom Guy as CP 8. It could be a possible scenario, and it would serve more as a callback to TGA 2018 (having revealed the protagonist of an M rated game that at the time was not yet on the Nintendo Switch). Although the nominations don't have anything to do with said possibility (but you gotta admit they almost could hint at it), Bethesda/Id Software would have a win-win if it were to pan out that way.I'd love for a Game Awards reveal considering the many nominations Eternal has and it would be fitting. The series is getting attention, on a recent western event, during a time frame after Steve and how realistically a newcomer could be announced and released at a later time. I am not entirely sure it will happen that way but the possibility is there.

It's due to Black Friday. I'd be thrilled if Doomguy/the Doomslayer gets revealed soon, but I don't think it's a hint.The Doom series is on sale now on the US eshop.
There was a problem fetching the tweet
I'm just going to say this, I think the Doomslayer will be revealed soon for Smash Bros.
I always love this. Best pals.
Even if Doom Slayer isn't revealed tonight, there are still three other DLC characters coming - Nintendo's missed out on plenty of perfect chances to do things before.Here's to tonight guys.
Honestly, if Doom Slayer ain't revealed I think his chances are good as dead because tonight would be the perfect opportunity to reveal him.
