Honestly, be my guest if you want to believe if all this Banjo stuff is a ruse, it's always a possibility. But don't go saying that "a lot of reliable insiders were supporting the Grinch Hoax", because history says otherwise. It's just that most people didn't wanted to believe them.

Shinobi better be prepared for torches and pitchforks if he's wrong. He's putting his reputation on the line as well.

Since he doesn't strike he as the type of guy who would troll people like that, I think he knows what he's doing.

Shinobi doesn't say much. Like, at all. But, just like Jon, when he does it means something. Banjo + A Smashing Good time could only mean one thing. He knows this, we know this, and he has credibility that most people couldn't hope to have. If EVER there was a chance that Banjo was likely, it's now. Like, if it doesn't happen now, it never will. And to be honest, yeah, I think it's happening now.

Why are people fixated on the Fake Smash Ball thing? I just perceived it as Sakurai making a joke about the prop that was there.

It feels like we're in a reverse Grinch situation.

All of the insiders were telling us that the Grinch leak was fake. They faced nothing but scorn and abuse for trying to warn us.

Now the insiders are hinting at and suggesting Banjo, and people are again skeptical of the insiders.

If the Grinch leak taught us anything, it's that we should trust the insiders.

Before that people were fixated on EE saying "DL see you later!" when commentating so really, I'm not surprised. I don't think anyone here but on other sites.

There were theories people were bringing up that all the players and the commentators know the next DLC character(s) and that EE was hinting that one was gonna be revealed soon.
Yeeeeaahh...so....:rolleyes:

The witch stage shown off during the stage builder announcement was obviously a hint towards Banjo let's be real.

Damn it I was liking the sort of alliance we were having with Erdrick fans. I’m hoping Banjo has a shot but I’m scared that he won’t make it after all this hope ive been having

Have we considered both newcomers could be in the same trailer? It’d be weird to have 2 separate reveals in the direct especially considering last year’s was mostly smash. Maybe with a fakeout after the first in order to let our guard down and create extra surprise factor (hence the fake smash ball).
There could be a nice "East meets West" theme. Maybe Banjo and Erdrick could do the clenched-hands double-flex meme from Over the Top that all the kids seem to love so much.

what if nintendo are aware of the Edrick & Banjo leaks & are going to puch them back for a diffrent character to disscreadit leakers & make peple dout them being futer characters
That doesn't make any sense. If people already found out about one or two of the upcoming fighters, better reveal those first and save the surprises for later.

My point is, (and I'm sorry if I rubbed you two the wrong way with my remark) I have a very bad feeling about this because regardless of the info on hand? All we have is words. Literally words. No ESRB leak. No box theory. Shinobi's track record is remarkable, yes. But again? It's all words at this point with no visual proof to speak of. The Banjo-Kazooie support we're seeing at E3 is great to see, don't get it twisted. But anytime a community gets a hold of what could be info, they run a mile with it. And when it's wrong?

It hits hard. I just have a bad feeling about this one. And I'll be glad to be wrong, nor will I stop anyone else from buying in either. Everyone? You do you.
I'm sure someone's already pointed this out, but we don't have just words. If all the merch we're suddenly getting, and Banjo being front and center on a ton of ads, isn't enough to convince you, remember that "Brave's" stats have been leaked and it turns out he has a floaty jump and skids when he turns.

It's not as much as I wish we had, obviously, but it also ain't nothing.

Even if Banjo doesn't show up at E3, that doesn't mean he's not gonna be in at all, there's too much going for him at this point for me to think otherwise.
Just means we have to sit in agony for a couple more months

To be fair, DL see you later is an.....odd thing to say. Its not even a slip-up. You have to be intentional to say that combination like that.

Do I think it means anything? -shrug- But its odd. Not hinting odd, just odd odd.

And then Bowser says 'What or who.' Again, odd. Although that could just be a slip. But as an aside, is there anyone on these various leaks that are more non-person-like? rOB would be a character people see as a 'what' instead of 'who.'

People thinking EE mean't something by that other than a joking manner are looking too hard for clues, that's all I've got left to say on the matter.

Shinobi602 seems to be hinting that Banjo will be revealed at this E3 though so I'm not sure I buy that he'll have a lot going for him if he's not shown in the next 3 days.

By "open spoilers" you mean unmarked spoilers, right? Because this is basically my #1 source of Banjo news.

Is this photo something that was told to you in private or did you just find out about it somewhere on the internet?
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?
It's not really a rumor, someone commented about being in a private Rare themed group and seeing the photo. Considering the context of the comment I doubt he was lying.
Microsoft also had weird wording about inviting SOMETHING to E3. Maybe they Literally invited a real Banjo.
Banjo Hero confirmed.

Maybe with a fakeout after the first in order to let our guard down and create extra surprise factor (hence the fake smash ball).
Inb4 B&K and Steve/MC share the same trailer.
What if we get a Fire Emblem newcomer instead of Banjo or Erdrick...
Don't worry, it's impossible. 3 Houses is too new to have a chance of getting a character, remember what happened to Rex?
Vergeben accurately leaked the entire base roster, how would you not consider him?
Because he said one time that he doesn't really know about the Smash DLC.

Somebody from the Lloyd thread posted this awhile ago:

View attachment 226689
Was this posted yet? I havent been around here for a hot minute but saw this pop up.
So it seems the Gematsu leaker from Smash 4 is back and is saying Erdrick, Banjo & Kazooie, Leon Kennedy with a Jill Valentine skin, and Lloyd Irving are all coming in the Season Pass.

The witch stage shown off during the stage builder announcement was obviously a hint towards Banjo let's be real.
I use to not think so... But I'm starting to believe that now.

you guys think something’ll happen at tomorrow’s conference?
I don't expect to see Banjo & Kazooie until the Nintendo Direct so no. But I'm excited about seeing Battletoads tomorrow though. :bluejump:

God Dude I hope so, I dont want to sit through 90 minutes of new Xbox Controllers for no reason
At least Battletoads will be worth a look if nothing else.

Every major Microsoft owned IP will have a royal rumble on stage for 2 hours in order to properly decide who will be getting in
