But again, E3 is next, so I don't expect a low character there. 11? Sure, it could happen, but Nintendo has handled Ultimate's E3s incredibly well. Everyone is here+RIdley and a double appeal to East and West at 2019 were both brilliant marketing, and 2021 I don't think to expect anything different.
You being a Geno fan has nothing to do with it.
You parroting the exact same characters that he had been forever in the Geno thread earlier today while claiming to have evidence has everything to do with it.
I like the folks over in the Geno thread, they're good people, but when I see you posting over there calling the rest of the fanbase a "hivemind" and I quote:
Consider me skeptical of the genuine nature of your character.
I do call you guys a hivemind, because 90% of you champion the same ****.
It's not MY fault that someone can't come in here and talk about a character they love and their chances without getting **** on by most of you guys here because it wasn't what most of you agreed upon.
Remember when you all championed Spirits Deconfirm? That was hivemind ****, and it was also very wrong.
Assuming the DLC/new content in some form is over just because of Sakurai's statement with Min Min when evidence points to a high likelihood of at least SOMETHING of substance after these last two is hivemind ****: if someone comes in and talks about how things point towards more content, upon them rains the same posts about calling Sakurai a liar or how Nintendo would never support something that long.
In other words, this thread and the community at large outside it does it's best to squash opinions of those they think are wrong when they don't match up with what the majority has agreed upon, DESPITE HOW THE MAJORITY HAS BEEN WRONG SINCE 2007!
So yes, when most of you won't be more open to discussion (of which I have found a few here) or spit the same arguments no matter how many times they don't hold up, only to be wrong in the end and then do it all over again...I call that a hivemind. You have to join or be known as an outcast that isn't looked at favorably, and it's kinda dumb. It's also why I get frustrated with discussion frequently, because the arguments given never hold up but everyone acts like they do, and I see the same **** everywhere no matter how many times it gets put down. I can't tell you how many times I stated that Spirits don't mean anything because it's just a PNG and they can add whoever they want, especially as long as new content keeps flowing only to have the same stupid 'But they already got content' or 'Then they would already be in as playable, they just don't them' thrown around with no one realizing how wrong they were nor accepting it up until it officially happened when it never made sense in the first place.
Also someone can come to the same conclusion as someone else via their own means, without aid or direction form another. I never think about things The Janinator has said when I come to conclusions honestly, but occasionally I'll see something I thought of matches with what he thought of, and just kinda shrug about it. Anymore what I hear as far as information goes is not only second or third hand, but not usually from him. Also, you guys REALLY have a problem with people who take information they've heard of and work it into their speculation, which I don't understand: if the info isn't credible, then who cares anyway it was just speculation after all; if it ends up being right, then not only is the speculator intelligent themselves since they took info that was vague and solved the puzzle, but it also means potentially having more accurate leaks which I think many of us would approve of having.
The genuine nature of my character isn't your business, but I can tell you that I love Smash and I desire to make accurate speculation, and when I pay attention and don't go off the rails or acquire false information it goes pretty well. It often also clashes with most of what you guys say here, but I think that's because you guys keep applying your own rules and thought process and then graft them onto Sakurai like he thinks how you all do, whereas I try to push all my bias and personal **** aside and try to look through his and Nintendo's business decision making as how they would really do it.
