there's no reason that they'd just reveal someone who was nowhere near as requested as banjo
You're acting like Master Chief and Minecraft (because TBH no one gives a crap about Steve, they give a crap about Minecraft) aren't popular though. Despite being biased on favor of Banjo, both Halo and Minecraft are significantly bigger (and alive) series/games, which is what scares me so much about this, even though the signs are pointing at Banjo. I still have that ~1% of uncertainty and I'm more than aware it's paranoia, but ugh, it's eating away at me.

(plus if this goes over well enough, who knows? We could potentially see a true Banjo-Threeie in the distant future; you never know, which is why stuff like this matters so much)

The reason why there's so much negativity is... well, you know, we're talking about Banjo-Kazooie.
Nothing usually ever goes right for the franchise.

Judging by how many pages this thread jumped I'm guessing people think the sky is falling again
It's kind of a mix. Some of us are keeping the fire burning!

Also, some people have said the C&D to Sabi was fake? And I had a thought about that...what if she did that to not ruin the BIG surprise?

Think of it, we have not heard from anyone else about Nintendo other than 4chan leaks. Get insiders/leakers from leaking anything until the day of truth. Just speculation on my part.

If Banjo isn't actually revealed tomorrow. And neither is Steve. There is still 3 more characters to go. And you know what that means?

If she faked it, then a Spirit Bomb will be sent her way. (Figuretavly speaking.)

If Erdrick(/other-non-MC-rep) gets revealed and not a Microsoft rep, I will be even more annoyed because it means I have to keep waiting to hear what's going on with B-K/the Microsoft rep, and ugh, I just want to rip the bandage off already.

However, we're around the time when the 2nd character would be released soon (assuming they keep to an even-ish spread til Feb 2020), and the 3rd character would need to be revealed soon-ish.

before I dip out until E3, and probably for a long time after, I just want to say that I had completely given up Getting any of the fan favorite characters as DLC. I was already pretty broken by the last three base Roster characters and they revealed. And then Joker was like the twist of a knife. I just gave up. then all the rumors started happening in conjunction with the merchandise, which made me raise an eyebrow, and then Shinobi happened. and while I was pretty bummed out about no new banjo game being announced at Microsoft press conference, nothing that has happened since then has a really shaking my faith that maybe banjo could be in Smash. And I'm generally a pretty pessimistic person.

The direct is in just over 12 hours. Some of you should probably get off the internet and get some sleep. Not because of spoilers but because you’re going to drive yourself crazy extrapolating everything every rando is saying on twitter or in some discord and era or faqs. It’s time to take a break. One more sleep and we will be looking for those jiggies!!

can people stop saying "Oh Maybe it's steve or master chief!" those characters didn't suddenly get an influx of merchandise with nothing to promote or celebrate and they didn't get mysterious trademarks registered either

If Banjo getst in, apart from the obvious Gruntilda's Lair remix, I also want a remix of Isle O' Hags's theme.
That tune deserves more recognition, I think it's one of Kirkhope's finest works.

Honestly if Banjo-Kazooie isn’t shown tomorrow and we only get Erdrick, they still have a chance to get in one of the last 3 packs, it just means the leakers were wrong.

I’m still trusting Shinobi, though. If he has misinfo I’ll be disappointed, but I’m goin’ to assume Banjo 100%.

If you’re gonna say “temper your expectations” stay away from me :pikachu:

Can I just say something that's been bugging me?

I know we brushed off the whole "Oh-ho, the Smash Ball next to Sakurai turned fake and the Fake Smash Balls explode in an X!", but did anyone else notice that it changed just before he mentioned the DLC character?

It's too much of a coincidence. I can't ignore it...

Can anyone send me a link of Nintendo’s E3 livestream.

Sadly not able to watch it live, and I need a safe way to quickly view it without spoilers.

Please?

This is it...

The final stretch.

It's been a blast and we'll soon find out our fate tomorrow. Hoping all this smoke leads to a nice bonfire at the end.

Goodnight boys.

Yeah, from how I see it, that was the joke.
"You're expecting a reveal now, eh?" - the smash ball is normal
"...too bad! You'll have to wait 2 more days!"- the smash ball turns into a fake smash ball

Might just be a drunk idea, but hear me out:

I think WHEN Banjo gets added, and Swop Swop finishes the project, I should pay to get it blown up and printed as a poster that we send to Nintendo/Sakurai alongside our “thank you” letter

I'm killing myself thinking about Banjo going up against :ultfalco:, :ultdaisy:, and :ultfalcon: on a Grunty's Castle themed stage while the Spiral Mountain theme plays

I'll be honest. I think e3 would be the dumbest time and place to show off (just) Erdrick. Most people in the west didn't know who he was until he was rumored for a spot in Smash. He's way bigger in Japan. Steve is deconfirmed as far as Im concerned.
It's gotta be Banjo or a non Microsoft rep. I'm confident it's Banjo tho

Yeah, Sakurai definitely deserves a thank you letter.

So she doesn’t know anything.

Okay.

Still bugs me a Minecraft employee seems to be trolling, but she’s not the only community manager nor is she a dev so whatever I guess...

That's it! I've made up my mind! Steve is being revealed tomorrow at E3, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it!

Seriously, though, everyone needs to find something to do for the next 12 hours, like playing through Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, for example! Tomorrow, the bear and bird duo will either be in, or they won't and we'll all have to manage like we did before. We've all waited almost 20 years for this. Noon tomorrow is feasible without any leaks.

Anyway, I hope we get a specific level from the games as our stage, preferably Freezeezy Peak, or Mad Monster Mansion. The only song I need is one of the final boss themes, but I'm hoping for a remix of Gruntilda's Lair, as well. The only other idea I have is for their entrance, being Banjo falling out of the sky, like in that Banjo-Tooie ad.

You guys are being way too dramatic. I want Banjo in as much as you guys, but always keep in mind ALL the evidence he has going for him.

Also, keep in mind that it's just a video game. If he doesnt make it in, it's not the end of the world.

Do you guys think Banjo would be a medium-weight fighter? That would be a shame if that's the case since I play faster characters, but when he arrives Banjo will definitely be my new main!

Wow. There are 631 pages of this thread, and it’s been going on for over 2 years!

I’m impressed. Especially with its dedication to Banjo-Kazooie.
