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

[~The Koopa King~]

Maybe I'm speaking too soon, but today sure has been boring. I didn't seriously expect an announcement today, but a part of me still wanted to believe.

yeah same....especially with a comment from one of the players that things felt odd and that everyone there felt like nintendo was hiding something from them

 

[3BitSaurus]

Did we get anything new from Sabi? She said she was going to start posting things a few days from E3, right?

 

[NintenRob]

Aww, I'm a little sad that the American team didn't make it to the finals. Oh well, at least we're into the final round so this be wrapping up relatively soon.

Feel the same way about Australia, it actually looked like they were really going to make it, but in the final match gave them some item bad luck


But that was an awesome R.O.B.

Between tomorrow afternoon, to Monday night is what she said. Its based on when her source gets to her allegedly.

Joker going to get a BIG FAT NERF ! lol

Nah, not a chance. If it’s not happening after Leo, don’t expect one for a long, long while.

On the other hand, hey, it’s good that Japan’s utterly stomping Europe. Gets to the end faster.

Joker going to get a BIG FAT NERF ! lol

Then again, it's Zackray. 17 year old progidy and a super oppressive Wolf main. Not kidding when I consider him in the Top 10 among Ultimate players (and coincidentally, the only real top tier player in the Nintendo tourney AFAIK). Joker's "only" one of his secondaries, and "only" high tier if you ask the pros.

Looks like we get to know whether it happens or not real soon.

i want a reveal just so i can say "Yeah this wasn't a complete waste of time" otherwise I will just think....you put on this and expected fans to enjoy it...why?

these kind of rule sets promote luck more than anything else

Why wouldn't they enjoy a ton of professional matches full of amazing players.

That's the reason it was done. Just regular entertainment. It's the World Championships. The best of the best. A reveal is like a bonus at this point.

Yeah at this point is more of a, expect it on tuesday, but possibly be surprised in a little while if anything. Rather just see a leak at this point, the wait is killing me lol

I just don't enjoy item stacked matches period

 

[3BitSaurus]

Am I allowed to say that Doug Bowser wearing the Bowser Jr. shirt and everyone chanting "Bowser" was the most precious thing?

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I just don't enjoy item stacked matches period

That's fine, but many do. The point is you're expecting something that is unlikely, which is silly.

Do you see why people are calling you out on it?

 

[Planet Cool]

The way I see it, knowing/learning to account for items is part of the game. Hardcore competitive rules are pretty boring, imo.

 

[Voe]

Any news on the supposed picture of a 2 Meter Banjo-Kazooie statue at e3? That has to be another fake rumor that spread like wildfire right?

 

[~The Koopa King~]

do we hate items or like them? it seems we keep flip flopping

 

[Datboigeno]

LMAO we all got b8d

 

[Khandoit]

Yep pretty much just "watch the Direct"

 

[DMTN]

From Sakurai's wording, it kinda sounds like there will only be one character at E3.

 

[Bomber57]

Nothing today folks, just gotta wait for the Direct.

 

[Talazar]

was expecting to wait till the direct but wasn't expecting sakurai to tell us

 

[TaichiYaegashi]

So, in that video Sakurai seems to be insinuating that there's 1 DLC fighter to reveal at this E3. That's how I took it at least.


...What does he mean by "what or who" though? Am I just thinking about that specific part a bit too much?

 

[dlewis53]

So, pretty much what I expected: no real reveal here, just confirmation that there will be at least one at the Direct. Though, Sakurai may still surprise us with a second reveal as well; we'll just have to wait and see.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

do we hate items or like them? it seems we keep flip flopping

...That's not what people are saying to you. Just that expecting more than the tournament is being downright silly.

You shouldn't be honestly exciting by a tournament that has settings you dislike, of course.

 

[Ctoan]

I'm glad we have a firm time.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[JonSmash]

yeah sounds like we are getting one fighter AKA "Brave" Edrick or Banjo ? (Steve isn't brave is he ? )

 

[dlewis53]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're overthinking it.

 

[MissingGlitch]

Only the one dlc reveal huh. Oh boy Tuesday is going to be a mad house regardless if Banjo gets announced or not.

 

[~The Koopa King~]

I'm fine with that i guess but the tournament itself just...wasn't all that fun for me to watch

if you all loved it that's cool more power to you i just don't like chaotic random matches where anything can come out of the blue and decide the outcome

 

[Paperchampion23]

And there we have it. Sakurai confirmed 1 character reveal on tuesday. Its totally Banjo

 

[MangoTwist]

There's no way they have just 1 fighter at e3 and it's just Erdrick right?

 

[Deleted member]

Okay what happened now?

 

[Kuraudo]

From Sakurai's wording, it kinda sounds there will only be one character at E3.

It very well could be.

I've said this since the beginning, but knowing only one character for 6 whole months has been a little frustrating. I'm sure there was an interview somewhere saying Sakurai didn't wanna do it like this. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong?

Oh well. Either way, I found the events to be a decent time spender for a few hours on a Saturday. Either they're gonna drop just that, one character and leave it at that, or Sakurai is playing coy and wants to surprise everyone. We'll see, in the end.

 

[Datboigeno]

This is now kind of a lose/lose to me. Because either Erdrick gets in and the Banjo hints were a ruse or Banjo gets in and no other character is announced and we have to sit through another several months of seeing the name Erdrick a hundred times a day. I might genuinely lose my mind if the later happens. It will be so fantastic to get Banjo and I'll literally only have 1 character left that I want for Smash but I am so incredibly sick of hearing about Erdrick.

 

[TaichiYaegashi]

I dread the state of this thread if the one fighter that's to be revealed is Eldrick instead. Either him or some other character.

 

[Mr. Stagg]

Calling it now. Reveal #2, for immediate release, #3 teased fornlater date.

 

[zferolie]

well, this does hurt banjo announced at Microsofts tommorow.... or does it. They could show the teaser trailer(like jokers) tommorow, and go into all the detail Tuesday. Then they could still tease the next one(again, another Joker like trailer

Also, I like item battles a bit more. More interesting, and people need to think on their feet.

 

[~The Koopa King~]

what I'm worried about is it sounds like the character's still in development which means we could be waiting until Mid-July Or Early August for Character#2

if that's the case then cadence of hyrule is probably the only thing that will be dropped and able to be purchased on the eshop during e3

 

[Paperchampion23]

There's no way they have just 1 fighter at e3 and it's just Erdrick right?

Thats the thing. If theres only kne character, it shouldnt be if Shinobi is right. He says Banjo. Tansut didnt give a date for Erdrick. My assumption is Banjo for E3. Erdrick for TGS. DLC 4 in November and 5 in February 2020, both directs.

 

[3BitSaurus]

The way I see it, knowing/learning to account for items is part of the game. Hardcore competitive rules are pretty boring, imo.

Eh, I think when it comes to an actual competition, sometimes items can interfere a little bit too much, not to mention the entire thing about certain characters being favored depending on the stage. That said, I hope these invitationals can bring attention to Sakurai and the team about the potential of competitive Smash, if anything.

The best of both worlds, to me, is if Nintendo started giving some support to the competitive community while also promoting these for the more casual crowd... though I know the chances of that are really slim.

Nevertheless, we now have confirmation about at least one character at E3. I still think it could be more than one, especially because I don't see another Smash Direct happening this soon, with so many first party games on the second semester like AC, FE, Luigi and Pokémon.

 

[Banjoisawesome2020]

what company is obligated to do anything? they could just not do anything at E3 because it's not like they have to be there or even have a direct ready

I'm just saying at this point gameplay alone isn't enough to get most fans to care about this tournament due to how long ultimate's been out

you have to leave the fans with something to get the hype rolling for E3...to just end with nothing would be more than disappointing

Well, they did. Sakurai wait till Tuesday. -_- I wanted to see Banjo now!
