Social Banjo-Kazooie Social Thread - Project Dream Come True!

[Cap'n Jack]

I don’t think Conker will happen. There is nothing really supporting him, and didn’t indiegamerchick come out against him? Not a death sentence, but not looking good for the manic squirrel

 

[ChunkySlugger72]

If it was up to me I would have most of Rare's major franchises represented as fighters, Conker the Squirrel , Pimple/Zitz/Rash (Battletoads), Fulgore/Spinal (Killer Instinct), Joanna Dark (Perfect Dark).

But I think we can all agree that Banjo-Kazooie is Rare's most biggest, popular and beloved original IP. (2nd only to the Donkey Kong franchise)

 

[ZoroCarlos]

I doubt they make banjo a spirit

No he'll totally be a Spirit...
A Fighter Spirit

 

[TheAnvil]

Conker should be an assist if Banjo gets in at least. It never released in Japan but it was extremely impactful on the N64.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

I'm like 95% banjo will be in smash. But I'm afraid he'll join the ranks of Isaac, shadow, geno and the rest of the "close but no cigar" characters.

If Banjo & Kazooie get into Smash, they will be playable I guarantee.

Four star is Legendary though...

Actually it's 5 star that's legendary.

If we could get Banjo AND Conker into Smash at the same time, I would scream. I love Conker so much and I'd really want him in the game but there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for him.

If rated M characters like Snake and Bayonetta can get in, then surely Conker can get in too. I love Conker as much as the next guy and having him in Smash alongside Banjo & Kazooie would be a dream come true.

I wish more people were vocal about wanting Conker..

Believe me after Banjo & Kazooie get in, he will have a butt load of support. He is just not top priority right now for a lot of people. The shift of support being moved to another character has happened in the past before, a lot of people didn't started supporting K. Rool until Diddy got in and now that K. Rool is in, a lot of the same DK fans are supporting Dixie now including myself.

I’m gonna place the potential evidence and why banjo is brave

Wanna hear?

Live & Reloaded was released in Japan, but not Bad Fur Day though.

Go for it.

Go for it.

It’s gonna take some time

I've been thinking on how the negotiations would work for Banjo. Would Nintendo/Sakurai need to go to both Microsoft AND Rare for the rights to Banjo?

Most likely Yes.

My reasoning lies behind why Goldeneye has never seen a rerelease.

Because all the parties involved did not play ball (this isn’t the best example since other rights have to be procured such as actor likeness rights)

Who is indiegamerchick and how in the world would some lone random person on the internet being "against" a character harm them in any way?

 

[LogFrog]

I thought Indiegamerchick said Conker would not be in the N64 classic and not that he wouldn’t be in Smash.

 

[TheCJBrine]

She seems to be a leaker with a following. She has pretty much said Banjo-Kazooie will be in an N64 Classic as well as Smash; in combination with info that PapaGenos has heard and Microsoft being buddy-buddy with Nintendo, it's making B-K look likely.

 

[UnknownJ25]

I feel like if Banjo gets in, Conker at the very least will get a spirit. I feel if Banjo came with an assist it would probably be Mumbo or Gruntilda

Yo, bros. I got some shizz that'll help prove that Phil Spencer is really pulling for us.

"I know I get questions all the time on would I ever like to see Banjo in Super Smash Bros. and I’m, like, “yes, I would do that in a second”. And certain people think I’m saying that as some sort of PR answer and I’m, like, why wouldn’t you?"

That sounds like a hard endorsement to me.

His other words combined with recent info would be like foreshadowing something good in a storybook...

If he really means it, then the ball's in Nintendo's court

Banjo is never coming to Smash

Hey guys, look at this, Sakurai is a member of Smashboards!

It’s not funny

 

[sm0ke]

With Banjo having a really easy moveset to make, would that raise, lower, or not impact his chances at all?

 

[OptimisticStrifer]

If Banjo was Brave, and dispelled the whole Erdrick/Steve leak with one fell swoop, that would honestly be the best timeline. Although I bet we'll see him at E3, most likely. But Cloud was dropped out of nowhere, so who knows? Either way, feeling real good about Banjo's chances, even IF Erdrick is Brave.

Doesn't change. Literally none of the guest fighters are added because of their moveset potential.

 

[Deleted member]

Can someone tell me about papas banjo source again I forgot

 

[OptimisticStrifer]

Honestly; If Banjo replaced Steve, I'd be totally fine with that Doomguy leak tbh. Even though it pains me that Geno wouldn't have gotten in, that would be a pretty solid DLC roster.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Eh, I still doubt we would somehow get two American/Western third-parties in one go when just one is hard to get as it is. It feels like they'd take baby steps for this kind of thing.

And everybody said that about Cloud, Ridley, and K. Rool and look where we are now.

Probably impact to the smallest degree. Sakurai does like unique and interesting movesets though.

Mmm... Piranha Plant perhaps?!

guest fighters

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Um...

Oh, I didn't see the guest part of your comment. My bad.

 

[Mr. Stagg]

But you can't deny that the ability to MAKE a moveset factors into it. Simon and Ricter work because their original moves can be used as a part of their kit, Axe, Holy Water, Cross. Generic punches, kicks, weapon usages are for normals and aerials with some references used if possible (Krool's boxing glove). Incineroar works as well due to the wrestler motif and a moveset was built around it.

Banjo's got a treasure trove of moves to make a moveset out of, so putting him in Smash would work.

Besides his Smash Ballot dominance and popularity, I'm sure one of the reasons Sakurai picked K. Rool was because of his very unique and insane moveset potential.

I'm biased, but I feel like K.Rool's moveset was one of the safest among Ultimate newcomers.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Most of the guest fighters don't play that much like first and second parties at all.

Cloud is pretty much the closest to derivative, but, well, you know. And it's not until recently that third parties even got clones.

So I think that third parties being unique seems to be something that's focused on strongly.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Ridley was a challenge because of trying to get it to work with the right size, Simon's moveset besides his whip isn't as insane as K. Rool's, Isabelle would be the safest I would say when it cames to movesets, and Incineroar is debatable.

Edit: The Inklings were unique, but were not something we haven't seen before and Piranha Plant was crazy unique.

What part of Cloud's moveset is derivative? I mean, outside, of "anime swordsman" meme. Limit Break is pretty unique as far as Smash meters go and almost all of his moves are fairly distinct.

 

[TheZoologist]

Banjo & Kazooie would definitely be one of the easiest characters to translate to Smash. Literally every move and attack they have in their games could translate to any input in Smash, with several options for some of them.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

So you see, uniqueness is focused on first and foremost for third-parties. And that's set to continue with Joker.

As we know, in most cases Sakurai takes the following into consideration for potential fighters: what would this character bring to the table in order to stand out? This part of the process is easier for third-parties, since many of them have something to help them stand out in their home series. The actual hard part is negotiating for said third-parties (among other factors like whether they're able to work well in Smash, which is something that prevents Tekken from getting in).

I completely agree with you (even though it doesn't answer my question at all).

I don't think anything really prevents a Tekken character. It's just like Ridley: it would be hard.

Alright, so were you referring to Cloud's specials? Otherwise, I'm not sure how his normals are that different from other characters.

But yeah, I wouldn't expect a Tekken character until like two games from now (and that's IF we get any new Namco characters at all). In their case they'd need to get in the base roster from the onset.
