Sakurai looked at the fake Smash Ball (its explosion is shaped like the letter X, which I think means Xbox) and Bowser paused and smiled after saying "tune in". "Tune" is a music term and Banjo and Kazooie are named after instruments.
This was confirmed to be edited to put Smash stuff on it to draw attention.
Please don't... Not right now.
Fake Smash Ball, when you hit one, the characters make a cross, like Xbox logo.
No, that's fake, was already deconfirmed.
We talked about that a while back. Was already debunked iirc.
If you want any detail of how long the info has been out before the Pokemon Direct. Most knew it's contents 5 hours before it occurred.
That was already debunked by Sabi; they just took Pokémon info that was already floating around and added fake Smash info to troll. Plus, no way they can say who isn’t in without knowing the rest of the characters.
More accurately, it wasn't edited, but the Pokemon information contained in that post had been available for... I believe the figure was approximately five to ten hours (?) prior to its having been posted - Sabi vouched for its having been circulated prior.
I hope you're right. The image wasn't edited or anything. I found the actual post. I'm just really worried. I'm trying to prove to myself they can't be in. If I believe they're in and they aren't it'll devastate me.
I don't put any stock into the theory because it could be a similar situation to the purple and yellow chairs theory in where people were thinking that was hinting towards Skull Kid.
"Tune in" is also a phrase used virtually every time they do an announcement like that, so that's certainly not a hint. The only hint we got was Bowser saying "who or what" to refer to the Smash news, and that has made me confused as to what that could mean. "What" doesn't really apply to Banjo & Kazooie, or Erdrick. Only speculated character I feel like could be described as a "what" would be a Tetris block, and no. Just no.
This is sad to see Nintendo THIS petty. They're really are terrible when it comes to things like this. I'm sure Sabi could leak the info as a rumor and Nintendo won't be able to do anything, as rumor isn't fact.
To be fair, that's probably everyone who has an unlikely, yet rumored and popular character. The Geno thread was exactly the same during the game awards.
Possibly 650(?) or so, depending on how many posts there are. This thread will definitely be busy on Tuesday.
I was hoping for 700, but at this rate we will probably pass 650 pages by the time the duo get's revealed.
Call me petty but as long as Steve doesn't get in, I will be fine if Banjo Kazooie doesn't get in. It'll hurt to find out if Shinobi was wrong but it would hurt less.
You could have just as easily told me what he got wrong in the time you took to write this comment lol. I see Star Fox Grand Prix and Pikmin 3 being his mistakes for the last Direct. For the record, I was only talking about Smash leaks. The guy has multiple sources, and my point was he has yet to be wrong about Ultimate. Still, your point is not completely invalid, but even if we were to completely disregard everything he's gotten right and not consider him, we still have Shinobi.
Perfect summary right here.
I didn't see the point of spoonfeeding you lol Also you left out where he got the Zelda game completely wrong as well. And yeah he's got multiple sources so therefore some could be feeding him false information. He has yet to get anything actually confirmed post-release of SSBU. I'm not saying this as a way to **** on Banjo's chances because I do believe the Shinobi post to be a bigger deal. I just don't think it's accurate to make a general statement that Verge hasn't gotten anything wrong and anything claiming he has is misinformation.
& are fighting in a pleasant grassy field, a large mountain looming in the background
This, honestly. He was making a goof that honestly isn't really that funny. It's really just more proof he's overworked if it's anything at all.
I mean... think about it: Everyone was wondering why all of these insiders were leaning towards Banjo but no one seemed to want to throw the chips down and say for certain he's in. Vergeben even gave himself wiggle room to jump ship if it all went belly-up; Shinobi only vaguely hinted at Banjo being in Smash a week before the presentation; a hint, but not a confirmation. Now comes Sabi about to give us a hard yes or no, and Nintendo suddenly nails them, they finally caught a leaker with juicy info no one can resist spilling the beans on.
Doing this thread something good.
Just gonna go ahead and address this part of your comment to say that someone like Vergeben should know that you don't give a 99% chance if you're a leaker and you don't know for certain what you're leaking is true.
How many leakers have they gone after? I know they told Sabi to be quiet, but that’s because she’s going to leak their entire direct. And they obviously know she has correct info since she pretty much leaked Microsoft’s stuff.
I've been lurking in this thread for a while and saw people freaking out over this exact 4chan thread, but nobody seemed to pay attention to the context of the thread.
