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

I have been 50/50 on this for awhile bc i have no childhood connection with banjo, but I'm in. I'm not confident in BK's inclusion but i want them so badly now, especially for all your reactions. Lets do this e3!

I think one of the reasons waluigi gets so much hate is because the fandom needed a new "ridley" to pick on.

After Ridley was confirmed, fanhate also moved to K Rool, and when he was confirmed, they returned to their old stand-by characters like Waluigi, Isaac and Geno. This seems to have moved to Banjo nowadays. Its like locusts: go on to the new character to hate, feed, and continue to the next.


While some fanbases can get overzealous with their support (like Pro-Ridley annoying people enough for them to become anti-Ridley....until the anti group ironically became more obnoxious than the pro), I believe there is potential for character hate because they are a threat to 'slots.' While character X didn't take character Y's spot, there still is only a finite amount of openings for characters, each one that gets in lowers the chances that the now fewer slots can hold that potential wanted character (like a multiple prize raffle. You are fine at first not being the early winner but once more of the prizes are being called and its not you, you get more annoyed as your chances lower. Plus, you usually more resent a person from the middle or end of the winning group rather than the beginning).

Take Geno and Crono. Both characters have similar histories and hurdles to overcome if they want to be playable (popular characters from the 90s, 3rd party, dormant status and series, one game, etc). But Geno has a bigger hatebase than Crono and Crono is met mostly with neutral to positive reception (which is odd as the Smash fanbase has this very vocal problem/whine concerning anime, sword fighters and Goku in Smash, but literal anime sword orange hair Goku is fine?). This could be because Crono has not had as active of a fanbase for Smash compared to other characters, so the fanbase hasn't gotten a chance to get on the nerves of others to make a hatebase and that the Smash base don't see Crono as a possibility to be playable thus not a threat to their most wanted being added. Meanwhile Geno is from 20+ years ago, one game but was acknowledged by Sakurai and even got a Mii costume and spirit from a company that couldn't even give more than 2 songs from their biggest franchise. So to them, Geno is a problem as he could actually be playable.

All that to say is it can apply to Banjo and say Joanna Dark. Both from the company, both dormant series, but Banjo would be disliked far more than Dark as he's been discussed and has better chances than her. Now with this insider talk showing that Banjo is a possibility, people are getting more annoyed since he's more viable competition. When a character gets a spike in hate so suddenly, it can't just be a reaction to fanbase obnoxiousness. Some of it has to come from resentment that this character could impact another most wanted. Expect it to get worse as we get to fighter pass 4 and 5.

I bet you if K Rool was saved for the November direct, his hatebase would have swelled after August.

In the spirit of getting ramped up for E3, I decided to go back and revisit an interesting idea for a Banjo-Kazooie stage we had discussed a while back. The idea of having Gruntilda fly around in the background spouting insults and rhymes to the fighters is too cool an idea to not be put in. If we do end up finally having the beloved backpacking bear and bird buddies return to Nintendo and join the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster, I hope they go all out like they did with Joker and give us some great Easter Eggs and nods to the original games. So with that said, I decided to make up insulting Grunty rhymes for all the Smash Bros. characters so far to be officially confirmed for Smash, along with one special one that hopefully will come to fruition in the coming months at long last!

Mario: So, you're the famous video game hero? I hear you're a plumber and I need a fixed Loggo!

Little Mac: A feisty little fighter you may be, but I'll stay well and far above your reach!
Greninja: A ninja who's a frog? How neat! Grunty will boil your tongue for a froggy treat!
Palutena: A beautiful goddess with gorgeous green locks! Grunty will steal your beauty and wear your socks!

Switch next? :thinking:

It’s much easier to develop Game Pass for PC when almost all of that content already exists for PCs. Game Pass on Switch is a much further off idea that only works for indies and the handful of games that might make it across platforms (it’s not a streaming service which would make other things possible).

Whatever version of the “Pass” we could hope for wouldn’t even be a 1/10th of what the actual Game Pass is given how much just wont natively Run on Switch without significant port work and optimization.

Mii Fighter: So, you've joined the ranks of the Smash Bros. crew? I bet you're a nerd in the real world! Aren't you?

And, of course, a special one to complete!
Banjo-Kazooie: The bear and bird, you've returned at long last! You should've stayed home in Nintendo's forgotten past!

Oh, oh! Let me in on this! I have a few of my own!

Wario: "A greedy miser all dressed in yellow! I have to admit, you're MY kind of fellow!"

King K. Rool: "King K. Rool! It's been quite awhile! You were nearly forgotten, you fat crocodile!"

ZSS: "You think with that suit that you're all that? I'd wear a zero suit too, were I not so fat!"

Bayonetta: "Put your clothes on! This game's rated E! That's hardly something for kids to see!"

Sonic: "You're quick on your feet for a big blue rat! Perhaps when you're dead you'll make a fine hat!"

Mario: "The famous plumber all dressed in red! That silly mustache I'll be sure to shred!"

Luigi: "A little green man all shaking in fear! You'd better run home, for your end is near!"

Bowser: "To kidnap Peach, you go through such hassle! Sorry old friend, but she's in another castle!"

Donkey Kong: "You flea-bitten ape! Get out of my lair! I'd rather be friends with that fat smelly bear!"

And purely for a laugh

Goku: An orange-clad hero of world renowned fame! Though quite a few wonder why you're IN this game!"

Dataminers will get on this. Unfortunately the one guy who was usually on top of this turned out to be a creep so he's not around anymore; so it might take a little longer

Here's hoping Nintendo accidentally leaves in victory music again!

Would be a good time to post this as well. Not much since its 4chan, but if things line up we may get some chicken dinner here. Hope someone can verify if the update lines up with this.

I won't be able to see the update since I'm seeing Godzilla tonight (Get Hype!).

If this turns out to be true, both two of my friends AND me will be VERY happy. Only thing that's suspicious is I would think Claire Redfield would be Leon's alt instead of Jill... especially since Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine were both in Marvel VS. Capcom, which given that would make sense to have the other two be in Smash instead.

Things are starting to look up for Banjo if this is to be believed. I give Sabi much more credit than I do Verge.

I'll be honest and say that Banjo is the only character from this list that excites me, but if it means that we get Banjo, I won't complain.

It's still very likely that it's fake, but I'd be happy with it.

Despite that, I'm now predicting an Erdrick-Banjo double reveal at E3. That will please both Japanese and Western audiences.

Wouldn't mind this, even though the only two I care about are the bear and bird, though I am interested in Dragon Quest (Slime started that interest, though, and DQ 11 looks cool).

The last bit of info, though; oof. He got the date right, but the version wrong; we're getting 3.1.0.

Yeah that makes me feel a bit iffy about trusting it.. its possible they just changed the version last minute but would they though?

The only character there that I actually care about is Banjo-Kazooie, so that would be a bit of a bitter pill.

Though, what makes me skeptical about this is that while this guy got the date right, he got the update wrong; it's not 3.0.2, it's 3.1.0.

 

[TheCJBrine]

I'm not sure; 3.0.2 would imply they were just planning bugfixes or something, and I'd imagine balance changes (which 3.1.0 is bringing) could take a while due to having to test characters and such to see if there's any balance problems - and if the datamines are correct, 3.1.0 also has some VR mode and more amiibo stuff.

I would be extremely happy with that dlc lineup. Although it’s very likely it’s fake. Anyone can make their username “Sal Romano” and make a lucky guess

that source Papa came across is actually pretty mighty
mighty as in par to Verge's description of his 3rd main source (aka MS3) for Smash rumors
(FACT: not MANY know that or wanna hear that either, MS3 aced a lot of E3 rumors and few longterms ones too.)

just saying, Papa got really lucky here. I hope he stick around too.

Yeah, it would be assuming it's legit, that is; I'm personally treating this like I do every supposed "leak" (ESPECIALLY the 4chan ones) since the Grinch Leak: I'm not really buying it until I actually see its claims happen.

If true. It's like Sakurai purposely picked out every game series I couldn't care less about and added a character from them lol. But threw me a bone with Banjo. At most I could understand Leon. But when the other three would look extremely similar in Smash's artstyle and have a sword as a main part of their moveset. The variation in the fighter pass is extremely lacking. 1 gun user, Banjo, Three Sword Fighters.

...Except it's entirely possible that these three would play pretty differently from each other, and that's what ultimately matters. I mean, I severely doubt that either Erdrick or Lloyd would have anything resembling Joker's Rebellion Meter.

I kind of agree with MissingGlitch and you at the same time, dlewis53. They could all play differently, but they do also have very similar design aesthetics and for a Fighter Pass that should, in my opinion, have a diverse group of characters, it could be pretty disappointing to have so many similar styles of characters even with the likes of Banjo & Kazooie in it, which obviously is all I really care about. Especially considering the DLC for Sm4sh had a similar issue with more serious human video game characters with similar aesthetics in Smash's style, so to get a repeat of that similar aesthetic could be disappointing. However, I will also say that I've always loved Akira Toriyama's style and would love to see that translate into Smash's aesthetic, and like I said before if Leon Kennedy and Lloyd Irving got in, two of my friends would be very happy and with Banjo & Kazooie in as well, I'd have no complaints in the end.

It may be boring, but to me, it makes complete sense.

 

[ivanlerma]

i would be satisfied with Lloyd, i remember playing him Super Smash Flash 2 so no problem with me.as for the other two i am still not going to play erdrick no matter how interesting he tries to be, but leon i could stand to accept however i'm finding it hard to see this leak true if jill is going to be added to leon.

This is pretty much how I feel. I would honestly be cool with Lloyd but both Lloyd and Erdrick would be kind of lame. Though that’s probably because Erdrick is the definition of anti hype for me.

 

[Vector Victor]

So, Erdrick, Leon/Jill, Banjo and Lloyd.

Banjo is A+ of course.

I have no ties to Erdrick and initially see him as bland, but I understand his high popularity and gaming impact (and how Earthbound reflects that).

Leon and Jill sound cool despite how I never played RE, but I have heard Jill many times. But why an alt and released later? Did he mean echo?

Lloyd is the 2 swords guy? Could be interesting.

Now, do I believe the leak? No. All 'leaks' with a grain of salt. But the list looks interesting, much, MUCH better than that 5chan leak.

 

[dlewis53]

Though that’s probably because Erdrick is the definition of anti hype for me.

This, I understand, because not only do I not really care about Erdrick, but I honestly feel that Sora would've been a better choice from Square. Or, barring that, I may not have any personal connection to him, but Geno would also fit well. Erdrick, on the other hand, going by his general appearance, just looks generic. Heck, with the sword and shield, he honestly reminds me a bit of Link.

 

[SwordOfSeals]

Is it possible for Erdrick and Banjo to be released after E3 though? The fact that 3.0.1 drops tonight and and pop up expires on June 16th kinda makes me feel a E3 released character may not happen.

 

[Deleted member]

Sal Romano returns!

Wait what? Where when who and why?

 

[MissingGlitch]

I would find it pretty funny though that even Nintendo would know that Erdrick couldn't stand on his own as a reveal so they have to announce him with Banjo. No one is going to remember that Erdrick was even announced after Banjo's announcement.

I could believe it. All of the choices seem like incredibly safe picks, especially since Banjo would be the only character from a company who isn't already cooperating for Smash. I would be pretty hyped for Banjo and Erdrick, and while they aren't my personal top choices, Leon and Lloyd would both be good additions and totally deserved.

Definitely believable, but it has no real credibility until after E3. Anyone can claim to be an old leaker, so we'll just have to wait and see for now.

 

[AngrySun88]

I highly doubt that rumor, but at the same time I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that's the lineup Nintendo picked. They're very safe picks.

Erdrick is pretty much anti-hype for me so doing a double reveal with Banjo would be the best way for Nintendo to maintain hype.

Don't care about Lloyd, but at least he's more interesting than Erdrick and I wouldn't hate having him included.

The Resident Evil characters are interesting enough that I'll check them out.

Banjo is the only one that I'm hyped for.

I don’t hate any of these choices I guess (Steve and Sans are the only oft-requested characters that would actually anger/sadden me to the point that I’d rather NO character get in than they get in) but it doesn’t make sense to me.

I mean, the Google Theory lineup is waaay less obvious... which is why I think it’s more likely. Reggie and others were big on saying this fighter pass would be WILD and UNEXPECTED. Joker and Banjo aside, these picks are the definition of vanilla.
