So we strongly know 3/5 already (Banjo, Steve and SE rep), but after today, anything is possible.
I don't think he said it was real, just rumors. I believe he was from microsoft and said that banjo would for sure eventually be in the game and that he was confused why incineroar wasn't in the grynch leak if it was to be real.
papagenos
source says etc.
Really no different (and less insulting) than Piranha over Geno.
Minecraft content/some kind of representation he didn't say playable so calm down.
Read my post in full, I already covered this.
I think we already know who will fill that spot for Microsoft rep GUH-HUH!!
I honestly could see a 'we'll put Steve in if you let us have Banjo" type of deal going on.
The ONLY possibility where I can see Minecraft and Banjo co-existing within Smash Ultimate is if say.... Banjo was a character and Steve was a Mii Fighter skin
Beyond that, it's simply a matter of one or the other; and in my eyes Minecraft has the better shot. Minecraft is the FLAGSHIP of Nintendo and Microsoft's new partnership, why WOULDN'T they try to promote that even harder?
Also
It's going to take TWO YEARS for them to finish every fighter. Banjo's relevancy is just going to degrade more and more as time goes on, while Minecraft has cemented itself firmly, especially with the talks of a potential movie coming.
I just don't see it happening guys
They probably used the time after making the actual base roster and deciding what should and shouldn't be in the game to make some progress on the DLC characters. Characters like Lucas and Roy also have semiclone status which means the time spent on them is not going to take as long as time spent on other characters. Note that Bayonetta was included as the Ballot pick for Smash 4 despite other characters likely scoring higher on the poll (and Sakurai specifically noted that) which means that Bayonetta was likely the character they could immediately begin working on when initial results came in.
Dude, we got K. Rool. Relevancy doesn't matter. And if they went to Microsoft AT ALL, it's impossible that they weren't thinking of Banjo-Kazooie. Heck, when Sakurai contacted Square, he didn't ask for Lightning, a more relevant character, no, he asked for the more popular and less relevant character, the one everybody had been asking for.The ONLY possibility where I can see Minecraft and Banjo co-existing within Smash Ultimate is if say....

We already just went over this have you not been paying attention?
CONTENT
NOT FIGHTER
JUST CONTENT
PapaGenos' source's source was still only sure about Banjo-Kazooie being DLC.
Using math, that is only going to be 15 months after release date, not two years. Getting a character every 3 months is actually pretty reasonable considering they're making each dlc character from scratch. I don't see how banjo would lose credibility over time. As Sakurai said, we won't know who the characters will be, making me believe that they've already planned them out by using past fan preferences. I'm annoyed with how pissy everyone is about their character they wanted not making it in. Yeah, I was more than thrilled that I got K. Rool, but would've been satisfied with the roster we've gotten so far. I mean, people never thought Ridley was possible, and then he added Simon and Richter. Plus, WE'RE GETTING OVER 70 CHARACTERS. Maybe Piranha Plant was something that Sakurai wanted to do for HIS own pleasure. It's been in so many games, and his moveset makes complete sense if you've played the Mario series in depth. Anyway, like I said, I'm almost positive that the DLC has already been decided on, that's why he worded things the way he did. But damn, 5 DLC characters is a great amount, so people shouldn't be sulking over their characters because we had a lot of them deconfirmed yesterday and they still have a good chance. BK is my second dream of a character, and I believe that they have a good chance of being in still. A year's time is not that long, so we're just going to have to wait.The ONLY possibility where I can see Minecraft and Banjo co-existing within Smash Ultimate is if say....

For the record, Sakurai straight up confirmed in the Direct that the DLC Fighters were decided on back in 2015 when the game's development began, which I believe was right around when the Ballot was active, so I imagine that fan-favorites played a big role in that decision. Also, I'm pretty damn sure that in this case, the "relevancy" argument holds little to no water, and I can honestly see both Steve and Banjo-Kazooie getting in, especially since other companies have two characters in the game: Snake and Simon for Konami, Sonic and (maybe?) Bayonetta for Sega, Mega Man and Ryu for Capcom, and if Vergeben's source proves legit (which, after the Direct, seems likely), then Square Enix will be provideing a second character alongside Cloud. So, with that in mind, I can honestly see Microsoft and Nintendo cutting a deal where they'll be allowed Banjo-Kazooie as one of the DLC packs...as long as another one is Minecraft-centric.
Verge also brought up a character from the Gacha Game, Granblue.
actually that was hitagi, but vergeben says they share information with and lots of stuff they hear often lines up
Why are we trusting Papa Geno's? His source isnt even the primary source, he's never accurately leaked something, and he was completely wrong about the Grinch leak
And then we can get Banjo-Kazooie, because at that point absolutely nothing is stopping him from doing so. The biggest hurdle was and has always been the rights, and with Minecraft, they have the rights. So I don't see how this is a bad thing. It's only helping B-K's chances having Microsoft on board. If we didn't have Microsoft on board, we'd be in a worse position.
He has nothing to gain from lying?
Papa geno's source never actually provided evidence for the grynch leak, just supported it because it made sence to them. He said that it would make sence but that the only characters they were sure of were incineroar (why they were confused about the grynch leak), Ken and Banjo. All the other characters were just speculation to his source. he even said in his videos.
