I was explicitly told not to share anything specific said by the NoA rep unless he or Sabi approved it. Chimed in recently to clarify comments made about Tracer and Crash and to back up that they were real but that's about the extent I can do regarding the NoA rep. Too many problems came out with Banjo and "the Bird" so I'm trying to be more careful now that I'm back from my hiatus.
man I hope so, I'm trying to play Geno in Smash before I'm 30 ty
well i was hoping he'd be playable in other events, it stinks that after years they still didn't have new characters for the series or even have them available in other events.
Gotta learn the Geno vs. Wario matchup when he gets in
Understandable. Are you not able to give us any more hints? Like a microscopic breadcrumb? Maybe the size of Ridley, King K. Rool, as well as Banjo & Kazooie's chances of getting into Smash? Heh heh...

Not to be rude, for I can accept that you can't say anything, but if you're not allowed to say anything, why not say nothing at all (at least in regards to the things you can't say)?
Just out of curiosity, can you speak to the credibility of the IGN source parsing through these leaks and what you know about their judgment on information that comes their way? I feel like that might help people trying to sort through what has become a more confusing situation than it was at first glance.

, thanks for the insight. We understand that there are limits, especially after last time. Now we just wait around and speculate who the Seven Stars of Smash Bros Speculation are.
I think anyone would not want to risk giving even a little bit. Tiny hinting only begets more.
When you get something as ugly as this then nothing would've been better
When my little brother was a kid, he asked for the red Power Ranger for xmas. The red one was his favourite. From when he first made his list, to xmas day, he was hoping for that toy. Then when we were opening our presents, he got a Power Ranger. But it wasn't the red one. I think it was the green one (I can't remember, the point was it wasn't red). He started crying, and threw the present across the room, still in its packaging. He didn't want to play with it. It was a Power Ranger, but it wasn't the exact one he wanted. So he threw it away. Incidentally, he was five or six.
You're right, they should consider first impressions more. We could've been spared Ryu and Cloud that way.
Because going totally mum makes people freak out for some reason and go into hyper harassment mode and, if we don't answer, they just start bugging our contacts. For example, when I tried to go totally quiet last time, people just started to bug Sabi instead. It's a Catch 22.
Yes I'm sure Sabi hates the attention.
Odd. Saying nothing should be a way to get people to know that they are not allowed to say anything on a matter. I mean, it can work.
>ask someone question
It works well on paper, but when you add the human factor, that strat kinda falls apart.
Can you tell us if the rest of the DLC characters seems to be all third party again?
You gotta keep in mind that saying things doesn't quell the noise either. So you're really not tempering the fire by addressing it.
Ugh! I was just making a little suggestion! I wasn't truly questioning anything. Plus, I don't think this insider thing is necessary, as speculating on what we don't know is enough. You know, good things happen to those who wait? That stuff.
Again, some people are happy with this and some people know to take it as it is. This is a video game, where you're not entitled to anything in the first place and the costumes are mostly optional bonuses for those interested. Your annoyance with the costume is worth infinitely less than someone pleased with it. If we base our picks off of who gets annoyed with certain options, you'd never get anything. It's a compromise to give fans the chance to enjoy something, and some take that opportunity and others don't. It's fine to not be happy with how things turned out, but crusading against it and consistently discounting people who may actually like the "something" just makes you come off as a jackass.
Yeah, that is also true. You just really have to pick an option and hope it causes the least amount of chaos.
Well, I suppose you are right, but maybe a heads up before doing that could work or posting that will happen as a rule, or would, you know, it still happen?
I would say Lloyd, Doomguy, and Capcom seem to be viable options. Lloyd for a variety of small hints, Doomguy for the Bethesda conference and his longtime speculation, and Capcom because they have a wealth of viable characters and only got an echo. Fourth slot could be one from a current company or it could be a total curve ball. The rest seem pretty likely imo.
We know:
Geno
Ryu

Who else could be floating in that void...?
Not everyone would see it, sadly, and that is especially the case in threads as big as this one.
I still stand by the notion if you know you can't tell someone information, you shouldn't dangle the proverbial carrot on the stick in front of them. That's my whole problem with anybody with insider information saying "They know something" or framing the idea that they know more than they're letting on. It just creates issues when you could just say "I don't know anything about that" in response to such questions or just not come forward with the "I know information, but I can't say" aspect of things. There's a way to handle not being able to tell people information (I'm not accusing Fatman of it right now, but just in general).
Yeah, I know. I forgot to add that detail. I dunno about you, but to me, not getting an answer is better than not being told you can't get an answer. People just are too greedy for answers to go by that, it seems.
To that end, I don't believe the method of addressing the madness curbs it. With Smash, it's obvious that the more you give, the more they want. And I don't think ignoring it will make it go away in the short term, but after a while it will trail off.

As you can see people do think that insider thing is necessary/interesting especially because it does pertain to the topic of the thread. Speculating about what we don't know just sends us into circles where we go over what costumes Geno will have, what music will be in, what desert Geno would most like to eat, etc. that we've done for the better part of a year now. There's a good reason why there's way more activity now than there was a week ago. If you don't like leak that's ok, but it's possible to be more understanding when it comes to someone not being able to divulge 100% of what they know for completely understandable reasons.
That's fine if that's your feeling about the stuff but there are those of us who are perfectly fine with not getting 100% of something. No carrots are really being dangled. Just that there are certain things that are being talked about. No issues really need to be created if people can accept the fact that they don't need to know absolutely everything other people know. For example people can enjoy the fact that there already several characters being rumored behind the scenes and we can speculate who they are. Is that not fodder for relevant discussion in this specific thread? You just have to not feel entitled to know everything about a subject especially if people's jobs are on the line. There's literally nothing wrong with how Fatman is handling things. People are genuinely just too impatient for their own good lol
You all are cool and respect it when I say this but a lot of people have no chill and decide it's a game of "maybe if we bug them enough they'll crack" and that's why we're all kind of burned out on Smash speculation. I honestly just came back to find myself tagged in recent posts because I didn't even know the Crash and Tracer thing was made public when I logged in. I was just bored at work, honestly.
He's definitely coming soon if the Mii Costume leak is legit (which does seem likely). I don't see how someone gets a list of Mii Costumes with half of them coming 2 months later and another like 8 months later. The fact they were grouped together likely means that they're around the same level of production and the gap between the ones revealed and the ones that haven't can't be too far apart in terms of reveals
Oh, I am understanding, alright. You just can't see it on the computer screen you have. I wasn't trying to jab at anyone for that matter. I just was, as I said, making a suggestion I thought would work. Plus, I don't think having some people know all the details while others don't at a sooner time is that fair, and I don't think it is necessary at all. Either way, I am not the sore loser you think I am, or even half of it. You just don't seem to understand. I am sure companies could provide hints to what's next if they wanted to themselves, and things would not be boring. There is more than one way to add to speculation.
Yeah, I understand the no chill part. It is a shame that people aren't patient enough to not bug others about things. Otherwise, all this extra chaos towards companies and insiders would be less existent. Less and not non-existent because there can be no non-existence of something truly. But I do think all of us are burned out about this, right?
Let's see, Crash and a Mallow/Smithy costume coming, the NoA guys saying Crash isn't coming soon. Ninja Gaiden's Ryu H. and all that stuff is what you probably missed.
I really hope someone let's Sabi and everyone else in that private discord group know that you don't think them sharing information is fair or necessary. There's not really that much to understand. You think people shouldn't share things unless they can share them 100% and I understand that things aren't that black and white and literal jobs are on the line when it comes to this stuff. So I am satisfied with knowing other characters than Geno, Ryu, and Crash are being discussed. I'm not tearing my hair out not knowing who they are because it's not that big of a deal lol
Once again, you are making assumptions on what I think. I never especially said they should share 100 percent of what they know. You really could use some knowing on how I work. I personally don't care how much information they give to others. I do understand why they don't share all the information to begin with. And I did say there are other ways to add too speculation aside from being an insider. It's not hard to understand. I don't care if they get more attention than I do, I just don't think companies should let certain people get the information like that while others don't so early. I know, this may be an unpopular opinion, but I am not the person you think I am being.
Uhmmmm...

Same here. Once Geno’s in the only character I’ll actively be rooting for is Lloyd (assists aside) and even if he doesnt make it that wont put much of a damper on things. One day we’ll all get to rest and watch the sun rise on a greatful fandom (mostly greatful lol)
