Maybe they have a high paying job and look for internet points.
Later. I will be genuinely surprised if these come with Terry. All signs right now point to some kind of debug/Beta test, especially with certain choices made like the stage. Unfortunately, we don't have information on when this was recorded but, like the Ken leak, my guess is it came from a beta tester that hasn't worked for Nintendo for like a month or two so it would be a lot harder to narrow down who leaked it.
Whenever stuff like Ken or this leak happen, I tend to think it might be a beta tester or something, but when you're trying to run as tight a ship as possible, it seems like a huge liability to have temp workers be your beta testers. I'd think they have the testers on the payroll doing something else.
You'd think but supposedly the pay is crap and the work conditions are kind of awful so beta testers are notorious for giving negative ****s about leaking things. Sabi's NoA source estimated that dev leaks probably count for more than half of legitimate leaks with most of the remainder being lucky schlubs who usually just wind up incriminating themselves anyways by careless mistakes.
I'm gonna call it right here. You're correct, but I think Geno may come in between the two passes a-la-Plant.
Nah, one better: It’s the Doom 2016 suit being possessed by Geno, and wearing his hat and cape.
It's not if the models are real or not, it is whether or not Geno is a Mii Costume that people are keeping hidden from us. That is what I am most concerned about. It seems so possible that this is finally our moment, but I would be a bit upset if we only get the costume out of this.
If anything, I want Geno to be playable in order to shatter this silly argument. I've never believed Spirits to be a 100% total deconfirmation. I think it was just more of a circumstantial thing that it just so happened that certain characters who weren't fighters ended up getting Spirits. Hopefully, this will be yet another weird rule that gets overturned with a bang.
Unless the Geno costume is a port + upgrade to Smash 4, freeing up time for them to make an accompanying Mallow costume.
Hey you don't know what Mallow does in his free time. For all we know he goes off with his BFF Doomguy and kills some Demons.
Y'know, Hero came with 4 costumes... Kinda weird to throw Chocobo in there when Mario RPG is ripe with characters to turn into costumes, but hey, playable Geno and they could include the Poo Emoji as a mii costume with him and I wouldn't be complaining.
So he’s a Banjo echo? Smh.
It seems that way, but Smithy costume makes me think we may get a triple pack at best. Geno Gunner, Mallow Brawler and Smithy/Exor as Swordfighter
Mallow's just a hat, though. IMO the curse of "Gunner/Swordsman/Brawler" is broken.
In fact, to further back this idea, they likely relegate the less sensitive content (ie. Mii costumes) to the more junior staff. It makes sense that only the more trivial stuff like costumes could be leaked in the first place. Sakurai himself is likely at the helm of New character/stage development and I don't think those immediately around him would try to pull something like this.
Good point, but I think it's a bit different with regards to Geno's costume. If Geno's costume and the Mallow hat were ready around July, why wouldn't they just release them both during Hero's presentation alongside the other SquareEnix costumes? They're all owned by the same company, so it would make sense, but they weren't. Not only that, but every single leak/credible rumor we've had that had to do with SMRPG stuff has consistently left out any mention of Geno or his costume. Geno's costume is (no pun intended) old hat, it's nothing new, so why the hell has old costume not been discovered by now when, realistically speaking, we should've heard about it by now?
Becuase that would mean that Nintendo took the time to go out to Bethesda, an american company, to negotiate DLC content for Smash, and either Nintendo or Bethesda decided that all they wanted/were willing to provide, was a Doomguy Costume and a Cacodemon Hat.
We also didn't hear about the Sans costume at all, but the list still got 4/7 costumes correct, with the Mallow hat bumping that up to 5/7, so... yeah.
He did show Terry, he was just using the hatless alt.
That is true, but I still believe that we could still get the hat and character. Idk. I just don't know what to think right now. Part of me is worried of Plant 2.0. The other half of me wants to believe we finally won
I think it's very cute too, but no it's not. It was drawn by Petagon1214 on Twitter.
Don't know if I'd call the worst-case scenario exciting but you do you I guess
I honestly don't think we'll get either of those costumes with Terry considering how many SNK costumes we're likely to get instead. I'm betting that Fighter #5 will be the one to truly tell the tale. If it's Geno with Mallow, but no demon costume, Doomguy is still on the table. If it's DG with demon, but no Mallow, Geno's still on the table. If it's someone completely random with BOTH costumes, then we're likely screwed. If it's someone completely random with NEITHER of the two costumes, then we'll still be in the dark. Either way, we WILL see one of these four scenarios.
Well, I'm not sure Geno will be a costume this time, but we'll see.
Us Banjo & Kazooie folk were anticipating something in a similar vein when it comes to Mii costumes but look how that turned out. Don't bet on SNK costumes just yet.
I see your point, but one could easily argue that SNK is in a much different position than B-K was with Microsoft. Joker and Hero came with several Mii's pertaining to their series, so one outlier belonging to Nintendo's direct competitor might not be the best measuring stick.
