Using Banjo as leakbait would be ridiculous. You don't use the most popular character as leakbait for a character literally nobody wants. All that would do is create an expectation of the character you're not putting on, and providing the awful one.

The only way leakbait works is the other way around.
And who is this character that "literally nobody" wants?

Reminder that Hitagi basically confessed that his information was wrong, and even despite Vergeben's spotty as **** record in and out of the Smash world, he said that Minecraft content was a boss, and NOT a character.

I don't get the 'Steve confirmed' crowd at all.
For what it’s worth, papagenos papagenos says he finds Xenother trustworthy. It could be possible that he knows about Erdrick and Steve but was just totally wrong about Banjo. It’s one thing to know who IS coming, but there’s no way any of these “insiders” would know who ISN’T coming

I don’t trust him he hasn’t leaked anything and that erdrick part was mostly a piggyback

Leakers And insiders are ****

Except for PolarPanda PolarPanda and Fatmanonice Fatmanonice you guys are good

But for real, to imply that Banjo is some untouchable god and that "nobody" wants Steve is ridiculously shortsighted.

I agree, he has no track record and that makes me not take him seriously either. But like I said it’s worth noting that PapaGenos trusts him and I feel like we shouldn’t just turn a blind eye to that. Only time will tell if Xenother and Hitagi are actually trustworthy

Leaked characters always get a large boost of popularity when they are leaked. Why do you think incineroar went from most hated Pokemon to most people's most wanted overnight once Verge leaked him. Same thing with Steve. Steve and smash were never even uttered in the same sentence till he was "leaked". Heck most people didn't even know who Erdrick was when he was leaked but suddenly everyone wants him anyway.

I actually do agree with this. We all want Banjo in this thread and Banjo is way more popular within the Smash circle but I'm sure there's also a ton of casual people who want Steve over Banjo. There's even some within our smash bubble that would rather have Steve. Banjo is way more popular within our community but I would argue the same for Steve and Casual audiences.

If we get Steve, Banjo would get more likely for a supposed second Fighter Pass.

Mostly because of Microsoft stuff getting in Smash already, opening the gates for the bear without any problem.

No.
I am just sharing some thoughts about Banjo in Smash.

Steve getting in would be good news for him, since he is the most demanded Microsoft rep in the Smash community. And with Steve already in the roster, Microsoft would easily give Nintendo or the Smash team the approval to use Banjo as well to cover the requests from the Smash fandom.

For real, it's ridiculous to insist that Steve in Smash is being talked about for any reason aside from 'leaks'.

Every time a character is 'leaked' or considered 'likely', fickle fans bandwagon behind them. They always will. Steve's no different to Sceptile or Impa from Smash For or Erdrick, or even Skull Kid from Ultimate.

Characters like Isaac, K. Rool, Ridley once deconfirmed still maintained their fanbases. Geno and Banjo are still being talked about 20 years later because their fans genuinely want them in. If Steve's not in, people will move on because nobody genuinely wanted him to begin with.

For being a Banjo support/speculation thread we sure get at each other's throats a lot when we really don't need to.

If you actually believe that Steve is only being talked about because of insiders, you haven't been paying enough attention. Hell, I've been speculating about Steve's odds of joining Smash ever since Minecraft was ported to the Wii U back in 2015.

I genuinely want Steve in Smash mostly for a potentially dope Minecraft stage.

And besides: Steve in Smash is good for Banjo... And Banjo in Smash is good for Steve.

I'm expecting to wait much much longer than a week for Banjo-Kazooie... But I wouldn't be against a surprise announcement next week either, I want this ride to end as much as anyone else.

We got Cloud out of nowhere in some random Direct, nobody saw him coming, but he most certainly was the most groundbreaking shocking newcomer for 4, the same could happen here, we just never know.

Yeah, let's all chill. It's an off-season right now and people are struggling with the lack of information we've been getting lately. Frankly anything Nintendo talks about in a direct would be nice to hear. I'm still hoping we get news of that Gen 8 Pokemon Switch title!

People are talking about Steve since Smash 4. Also, speaking for the fans of a character you don't want is a very cheap tactic. What you think about them doesn't make their support less genuine.

Its not the he wasn’t talked about. I just don’t think people ever took Steve seriously until Vergeben came along. It’s like “Fortnite Guy.” Nobody takes him seriously right now. But if one of these leakers came along talking about Fortnite content in Smash, everybody would be changing their tune

Guys that xeno dude I’m not putting much stock into him because he hasn’t gotten anything right yet even when verge said not to take him too seriously and you know what? Whoever says THIS CHARACTER IS IN I’m not believing until I see it and I think nintendo is keeping banjo under the covers just like joker banjo has a chance let’s just hope it happens
I’m done beleving verge hitagi and xeno
Is there a link to this post?

I can guarantee that many people wanted Minecraft content in Smash years before Vergeben popped up.

I talked with many people online in the past who found stuff like a Minecraft stage fantastic for Smash because of the sandbox gameplay that Minecraft has.

Many would pick Steve just for the stage and moveset potential alone, myself included.

I never said I didn't like those characters. I'm actually very fond of Skull Kid and Sceptile, bandwagoners aside.

People absolutely take Steve seriously, or at least those who don't have an agenda against him.

Once again, 2015.

If you want to argue and think steve has better odds than banjo then do it in the social thread please this is a banjo thread not a debate thread
1. Don't Mini-Mod
2. This is a Banjo support thread, not a Steve bash thread. Sorry if that upsets you. :^)

I just entered the thread to say how Steve getting in would help Banjo’s chances a lot.
Basically: commenting stuff that could help Banjo getting in Smash.
But you took it in a way that wasn’t right.

If we get any Microsoft rep, it would make the idea of getting a second one for another Fighter Pass highly likely. This means that Banjo getting in would be good news for Steve... And Steve getting in would also be great news for Banjo.

You are basically getting mad about who comes first, as if only Banjo deserves to be the first Microsoft rep.
And trust me: If Steve gets in, Banjo probably will too.

Oh... you threw me off with the word 'character', since Steve is nothing more than an interchangeable default skin .

Nobody even wants Banjo because of "muh microsoft rep".

Not you, I'm talking about garbage posts like this:
>Comes into unaffiliated thread and gets mad when his bandwagon garbage isn't popular there.

:ultinkling:, :ultinklingboy:, :ultmiifighters:, :ultpokemontrainer:, :ultpokemontrainerf:, :ultvillager: and :ultvillagerf: aren’t characters for you then.
Avatars =/= default skins.

Trainer isn't even playable, his Pokemon are lol

To try and discuss something a lil less venomous...

Let’s say Nuts & Bolts got a music track. What track would you put in?

Personally, I’d go for the Banjoland theme or the Final Battle.
