Somewhere... overthinking something

I think one of the things that annoys me the most about this situation is that a lot of people seem to be ignoring a lot of what I've been saying:

-He doesn't hint things super far in advance. The longest was three weeks with most happening in the week and a half to two week range.

-He only reports on and hints first and second party games and that's almost exclusively where his interests lie. Further more, they're always tied to Directs and things he's interested in.

-I've technically known him since last November so I'm not some dumb schlub that easily misindentifies people. I know his first and last name, where he lives, and at least half a dozen of his social media accounts. I may joke that I'm an old man but people seem to think I'm senile or something.

Still, we just have to wait to see what all this produces.

Yea.... but WHAT does it MEAN....??

Maybe the bird was a hint to his real identity. ......maybe he IS a bird!

-GASP- A bird isn't implying Geno. A literal bird is literally leaking Geno literally by a bird!






I'm not crazy.

Is it just me, or has this thread exploded in popularity since the Hero Sakurai video?

Also, is this the most popular character speculation thread of all-time on Smash Boards?

This thread has a surprising amount of support for Hero XD.

Nothing bad with that since I wanted Hero in Smash for years, but this did surprise me.

King K Rool's support thread in Smash 4 was higher.

Banjo's was getting very high before he got confirmed. But I'm not sure if it hit over 1000 pages.

To be more specific we are 72 pages behind the smash 4 krool thread. If there's something bigger than that then I'm not aware of it.

Apart from King K., yeah, I'd definitely say this is one of the most popular support threads. People love this star boy.

I keep feverishly rechecking the thread to see if new Geno evidence has emerged
Same, when I’m not doing college work, I pop in every now and then to see what’s going on.

Happy Birthday.

A lot of Geno fans thought Hero’s DLC pack would be the final blow.
Not just Geno fans, but everyone was saying "Geno Mii Costume is coming" even before we knew who the actual SE Rep was.

Now that it hasn't, people are finding ways to keep us down. "Well Chococbo Hat didn't return either, so its no surprise." or "Its coming later".

The goal post keeps getting moved for Geno. We are not guaranteed Geno as a fighter, but we can at least be considered now.

I think there's some evidence to suggest that there are plans in place for Geno, but I'm still unsure if they relate to him for this pass or something outside of it–like Piranha Plant or even a second Fighters Pass. Even the music takedowns from Nintendo for Super Mario RPG are curious, as the timing is off. Namely, the same thing (music takedowns) happened to Banjo-Kazooie tracks in October-Novemberish and he'll be dropping in Fall (roughly 10-11 months out from those takedowns). To me, that would indicate plans outside of this pass but I'm just speculating.

I talked about the lack of a Mii costume for Geno being suspicious for SwitchedON Gamer too if anyone is interested. :p

Something I thought of is... maybe Sakurai doesn't want to release the Geno outfit yet, despite the possibility that he isn't in the plans right now. Maybe he really wants to get him in this time, so as he tries to work that out, he's holding back on re-releasing the costume.

Honestly looking at that thread on resetera it pretty much seemed like several people who have written off Geno’s chances of being playable circlejerking how impossible it is and then someone posted what sabi said in discord without the context that Sabi is legally on thin ice to **** on the whole starling hint and make you look like a liar. Some people still really don’t want to believe Geno has any chance whatsoever to get in this game.

I gotta admit I wasnt a fan of that article because it acted like Geno fans want his Mii Costume. No, we want him playable. The costume is just to see if he’s done for good, or not.

REACHING MODE ENGAGED

Taking into account the date in which the bird image surfaced, by Saturday it would have been three weeks (21 days). The EVO 2019 SSBU Grand Finals will be on a Sunday (day 22). Monday, would be the 23rd day since the teased image. This year marks the 23rd anniversary of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

It's crazy how many people still have the "spirits deconfirm" mindset, even though no actual evidence that proves that spirits deconfirm actually exists. Not to mention, trophies didn't deconfirm Mewtwo and Lucas in Smash 4. Both of their trophies even had different models.

It looked to me like ResetEra people were misconstruing information deliberately to adhere to their biases. When we have witnesses saying it's the same NoA source besides Sabi, it looks more like covering herself and, particularly, her source(s) after that C&D.

I only started liking Hero because of smash. I never had an interest in DQ, but now I do. I just pre-ordered the new DQ game for the switch (since it was discounted for $50). Now... where is Persona 5 Royal for the switch?! lol

While I agree, it is true that Spirits do add to gameplay a lot more than Trophies do. Which is a legit point against them. So they are closer to Assist Trophies in a sense. However, so did Stickers and I wouldn't say they mean much either.

One point another user brought up is that they might've decided on DLC around when they decided on Spirits. Some Spirits were removed from the list by Sakurai. This could easily mean they were planned with each other.

That's true, but given they sprung the DLC on Sakurai in January 2018, quite a late point into development, they very well could have been planned aside from spirits. I'd say they're both likely possibilities and I wouldn't rule either one out.

I go to SmashFAQs (as I have no standards apparently) and immediately see two threads celebrating that the Mii costume wasn't shown, but they're celebrating because they think this means the costume isn't coming back and they HOPE Geno gets nothing in the end.

Geno is the new Ridley: the anti group has become far more vocal, obnoxious and obsessed with Geno than the fans.

Or, the much more likelier scenario, Piranha was planned for base game.

Which has nothing to do with the point I was talking about with Spirits. As well as unrelated entirely? I was talking about Fighter's Pass stuff only.

Whether or not it was planned for base game, the Spirits would've been removed either way. It was either moved to DLC or going to be that from the start, and when related Spirits were put in separately by his staff, they removed them.
