I understand why you would be so skeptical over the insider stuff, things change so much in so little time that it can be frustrating or straight up annoying sometimes both for us and for those with behind the scene knowledge, but still it looks like luck is on our side this time around
Welcome back and thank you for the dopamine rush I get from meaningless red notification numbers
Ay, thanks and you're welcome. That's what happens when I wanna catch up with the thread and someone made too many good posts along the way, lmao
I'm late of course, but I just wanna say I appreciate being in that image lol
This dude literally shows the original render in the video. Smh
i wouldn't leave you out of my memes pal
I do hope Geno wasn’t used as misinformation like Steve and Minecraft content.
Geno would be worthless leakbait because half the leaks have Geno in them anyway
Wasn’t Geno pushed as leakbait for Hero though?
It's basic business to have to agree to everything. You can't just license the IP out for one thing and then do something else with it unless you somehow came to an all-encompassing licensing agreement that covers all appearances. Especially in a potential scenario where you have agreed to one thing, but your plans changed, you still have to go back to the license holder and propose a new plan (Mii costume to playable character is a significant difference no matter how you look at it and also has to have a different split of the profits/advertising/etc.). Like, yes, it sounds cumbersome because it is and legal licensing is not a simple thing on purpose. It's meant to protect copyright holders. If you had the rights for Geno as a Spirit, but not a fighter because that's what you negotiated on months ago, turning him into a fighter is actually straight up copyright infringement because you're going beyond the bounds of the original legal agreement. That doesn't necessarily have to be a huge ordeal to make that change depending on the copyright holders involved, but there's still legal paperwork to cover at the very least and drawing up the terms of a new agreement, and you certainly owe the company the courtesy of the formalities of the process if you're trying to use their IP in any capacity.
Actually, the translation said, "It's more important that a character is fun to play, not just recognizable." That just is kind of a key part of his commentary, because, like, yes, popularity is a contributing factor and it'd be foolish to think otherwise. It's not the only factor or the the most important factor, but you can bet its no coincidence that we've gotten hugely popular characters and franchises in the game. There's a reason we got Cloud and Hero before Geno, and there's a reason almost every major Japanese developed franchise is in Smash Bros. too. Hell, popularity was the point of the ballot to some degree too, so it certainly plays a not insubstantial role in the process.
I think at the time of Hero’s release, he was being used as leakbait, but that was before season two was planned. Now I’m guessing that Geno is in, but Sephiroth is the leak bait, since those were the only non-Hero square names that have stuck around, and Sephiroth has popped back up more recently according to Fatman
Green eggs and Sobble
I want to believe that smash could put more many awesome characters, but I have to keep my expectations in check. We got Simon, K Rool , Ridley and Banjo. Geno is the last long wanted-impossible boy, but if he doesn´t show up. It´s alright. I´m thankful for what we got.
Oh man 4 days is nothing compared to what some shiny projects have put me through but best of luck to ya. I think once I complete my Dex and get my shiny charm I'm going to breed for a shiny Galar corsola in a dream ball.
I am using the shiny charm and the masuda method. Maybe I used all my luck when I was breeding Wooloo. When I get a shiny on my first egg.
Oh okay, that's what you meant. Sorry, I guess I misunderstood what you we're saying.
That actually makes zero sense.
See, this is the **** that conflicts me.
Yeah, but what if it was just Xander Mobus pulling a prank on us?
"I hate mondays, Mario"
I remember reading somewhere that the voice actors for fighting game announcers are usually given a huge list of character names that could potentially be put into the game at some point, and are required to record voice clips of them shouting each and every name, as a "just in case" thing.
Worst timeline ever
If all debates were like this, Smash speculation would be much more enjoyable.
Don't tempt me.
Oh that's interesting
I...um...i'm so scared right now.
This makes me wish I didn't wake up this morning.
