I know. It's just dumb.
Yup, brb, gonna cryogenically freeze myself for the next two months
Yeah. Starting to think that we're looking a little too far into the data and codenames that we have. Knowing what it says is just confusing in its own right when it starts to contradict things that we know for a fact. Once Joker is actually out, hopefully people will datamine his final stats to see how they compare to the initial stats for "Jack". But I am starting to believe that Banjo could actually be in Smash. Things seem to be looking in our favor (although the Witch stage shown in the presentation seems entirely coincidental to me, but that's just my opinion).
To be fair we don't know the P5 girl is a female protag. Everyone assumed she was based on the Smash datamine.
I guess, but I'm still remaining hopeful!
This makes me hopeful that the pause music will play after banjo's victory theme
That's basically what I said!
It'll be like 7:50 pm Central time
It's not April 17 where I live.
Those comments are borne out of the frustration of lack of character diversity. Perhaps the frustration itself doesn't need to die, simply the unhealthy way it's expressed does, but then the unhealthy way the frustration is expressed by fans is a result of years of the diversity issue not being addressed as much as it should. I think that's another issue with smash entirely, which is the resentment/tribalism that forms when fan requests go largely ignored for almost 20 years.
I think this all depends on how the Joker board is handled. If it’s all Persona-related Spirits, I think that actually hurts Banjo’s chances a decent chunk. Call me cynical, I just don’t buy that Nintendo would be interested in doing an entire Spirit board dedicated purely to Banjo characters.
it's going to be an extremely underwhelming E3 if the character does turn out to be a Dragon Quest rep I will say that much.
As a Skull Kid fan, chairs is something people never should have looked at. The which connection it very obvious (although I still wouldn't use it as evidence). But the colours of furniture just gave many of us Skull Kid fans a bad reputation.
Considering how much content this update will bring... I give two and a half days before people start crying drought.
Or a more extreme example: What if we had 20 characters that were animal duos? By the time Banjo and Kazooie got included people would be salty and jaded. We'd be happy, but people with different preferences would start to really become annoyed. They might joke that smash became Animal Planet.
Sure, if you're specifically expecting Banjo and don't get him. Dragon Quest could probably hit at a venue like E3 and it still wouldn't really define how the rest of the DLC will go. It's also not like Nintendo won't have a ton of other big announcements going on at E3. Banjo or someone else could very easily be saved for later because of just how many other big games and announcements are going on then.
Annnnnnd we didn't even make it through the rest of the evening before people were salivating for content (Not just you, but I've seen enough of it in this thread).
Ok but see the mentality of generic swordsmen or generic anime characters does need to die because it's not indicative of the actual problem you are suggesting. And while you might be joking others absolutely are not. First off saying there's an endless well of sword fighters works just as well for cartoon characters. There is an endless well of those as well to draw from and have been for Smash yet no one complains about cartoon fatigue. Next, anime doesn't actually mean anything in a Smash context. All the anime characters are done in a similar style as every human character. Yet no one is calling Snake or Zero Suit Samus more anime fighters yet they are in the exact same style. It's clearly not about anime characters having similar movesets as every character with a sword or is anime is different from each other unless fully meant to be an exact copy of a previous character with a different skin. Joker is being called generic anime which aside from the way Sakurai does human faces he looks nothing like anyone else and has a moveset unlike anyone yet. There's no line. Just because a game has an anime influence means nothing to how they are represented or look in Smash. The real problem isn't that there are generic anime sword fighters it's Sakurai not taking fans feelings into consideration and skewing the roster more towards his preference than ours. The over showing of Pokemon and Fire Emblem and characters people didn't vote for like PP and Joker all fit into to that category but is that the main complaint? No it's "generic anime swordsmen". The mentality needs to die because all it does is write off the merits of actual characters and doesn't address a real problem. You're right that frustration doesn't need to go away it just needs to be focused on the right thing instead of fighting issues that aren't there.
Sorry :/
Data-mining is the absolute worst way to learn about anything though in my opinion, so I can't say I'm too personally keen to see anything from it.
