challenger pack 5, that's whoWho’s baboon?
I'm aware that Waluigi's biggest issue is supposed to be haven't made it to any Mario action platformers game so far, which is much more negatively influential than not being a Smash fighter. Logically, Waluigi's supportors are just Mario series gamers, please dont use the word public as if Krystal and Riki supportors must give their attention to Waluigi. If so this newcomer speculation board wouldnt have so many topics about other characters.. it was a real mess. Waluigi was the first big example of public upset over a deconfirmation. No way in hell no one noticed at Nintendo,!

IT'S OVER!!!
Damm can you use another one?I do have a music making program....THAT USE TO WORK! Otherwise I would have by now.
Yo, like, yes? If Geno isn't meant to be a fighter, I'd absolutely take an assist + upgraded Mii costume leagues over just a PNG lol. At least he'd actually have presence and, well... look like Geno and not 'Geno' from a listing on Wish-dot-com.I know people here want Geno to be a fighter, but, tbh, if he cannot make it there, I would think he should really get the assist trophy from Waluigi.
There's this oneI do have a music making program....THAT USE TO WORK! Otherwise I would have by now.
I still can't see him being number 5, just due to the fact that we know that they come with Spirits and a Stage, the idea they were all atleast generally planned WELL in advance, maybe even before E3 of last year, atleast for some of them.I genuinely think character #5 is Waluigi. As time goes on, it seems that more and more people are willing to speak to Paragon’s character, so I doubt he was lying about the C&D or “poking fun at Sabi” when he mentioned it, especially since Fatmanonice has later said that people behind the scenes believe what happened to Paragon to be real and are therefore TERRIFIED of talking about Waluigi despite the fact that EVERYONE has heard about him. Also, why would Nintendo go to the trouble to C&D him in the first place? Probably not Luminary and Banjo because literally everyone and their mother was talking about both of them at that point. Could be the Undertale stuff, but he actually misinterpreted the information he had to begin with, so I doubt they would have C&D’d the guy because he got two characters right that everyone else was saying shortly before their reveal + he had some minor Undertale information right and bungled it up. No, Waluigi is the logical answer here, at least combined with everything else. That was a reveal they were planning for half a year later that Paragon knew about, which means they had to nip him in the bud early to send a message to other leakers. And it sounds like they got the picture.
You know, we’ve been talking about timeline stuff in terms of Geno and how the Grinch leak may have bumped off his Mii costume from releasing alongside Hero so that he could potentially be post-pass DLC, and that’s all well and good, but let’s take a second to consider Waluigi’s timeline, shall we? Ultimate’s big official reveal was at E3 2018, and there were precious few deconfirmations at the time since barely any Assist Trophies were shown off. I’d argue the only two major ones were Bomberman and Waluigi. But even though I certainly saw a few Bomberman fans upset at his deconfirmation, NOTHING hit the internet harder than Waluigi being relegated to an Assist Trophy for the third game in a row. You were all there for it, so I don’t need to elaborate much at all, but everyone and their mother was making memes about it, there was so much public upset about it, Sakurai blocked a guy for pestering him about it too much and people were using that one guy as a way to blame the whole Waluigi fanbase for going too far... it was a real mess. Waluigi was the first big example of public upset over a deconfirmation. No way in hell no one noticed at Nintendo, especially since Sakurai literally had to block someone on Twitter over it.
Keep in mind all of this was happening mid-June 2018. Now knowing what we know about the Fighter’s Pass, it seems negotiations were still ongoing for it during the time, and perhaps reaching their conclusion since apparently all the DLC had been decided by about 5 months later, since Sakurai said shortly after the November 1st Smash Direct on his personal Twitter that all the DLC had already been decided so people shouldn’t campaign for anyone for the pass. This means that any public opinion from the Direct itself and the backlash from the Grinch leak could not be used to sway the outcome of the pass. But Waluigi’s public backlash was months ago; timeline-wise, he’s the perfect fit for the last DLC character of the Fighter’s Pass. And of course, it naturally makes PERFECT SENSE for Nintendo to choose him characters and for Sakurai, the man who constantly wants to push the envelope and make everyone happy, who had already put in Ridley and K. Rool in the base roster and who approved Banjo for DLC, to approve Waluigi as well. And wouldn’t that be an even better final thank-you character than Lloyd would have been as a last send-off to the game?
Call me crazy if you want @wynn728 , but I think it’s happening. No memes, no bull. With all of this circumstantial evidence, insider talk, tons of third-party deconfirmations, Vergeben’s first-party backpedaling, and the increasing validity of Paragon’s leak, I genuinely put my full commitment into the belief that Waluigi really is our last Fighter’s Pass character unless further information comes out that makes me doubt this. Wah!

Sorry, I just had to. I appreciate your optimism, though.
In fact it kinda motivates me to do that deconfirmation meme I was teasing a couple days ago. I guess I'll go to back work on that.

I can't buy it, Sakurai specifically said that "I decide if we can create a fighter based on their selection, then come up with the plan. " I doubt he would turn back on it after deciding it was feasible. It explains the Resident Evil spirits but I still think it's a long shot.I don't think Waluigi 5 unless the rumors about Jill being cut were true. Papa talked about it but it was news to me. Basically the rumor was that Jill from Resident Evil was developed in the spring but, like Heihachi, Sakurai couldn't figure out a way to make character work well in Smash and ultimately cut her. With her being cut, some people have thrown the idea that Waluigi was thrown in as a bandage of sorts due to lack of negotiations and having assists in hand. Of course, this would require a looooooot of things to be true to be plausible.

Oh no
Great post! I'd also like to bring attention to another character disconfirmation, that being Isaac. You mention that Waluigi and Bomberman were some of the biggest ones, and I agree that they were (less so Bomberman, I kind of remember him being disconfirmed was laregly "Aww, oh well..." for people), but I don't think there was a single person who watched the November 1st Direct and didn't think Isaac was done dirty. Just about everyone who I've seen watch it all shared the same disdain in seeing him once again relegated to an Assist. If we're all on board with the idea that such outrage would be enough for Nintendo to make Waluigi a fighter, I think we may need to start keeping Isaac in mind going forward, especially if Waluigi actually makes it in.I genuinely think character #5 is Waluigi.

Christ, I am so ****ing sick of seeing this same goddamn image any time someone jokes about threads going up in flames. Sure it's apt, but is there really no other image we can use?
For the past few days I've been thinking about something like this happening:I still can't see him being number 5, just due to the fact that we know that they come with Spirits and a Stage, the idea they were all atleast generally planned WELL in advance, maybe even before E3 of last year, atleast for some of them.
What I CAN see happening is him being one of the first post-pass characters, in fact, that might explain somethings. He's been heard in insider circles for a long time now, and in the original Paragon leak he mentioned that he speculated that Waluigi was number 5. But, given that he misinterpreted the Undertale information, who's to say he didn't misinterpret Waluigi as well? In fact, if post-pass DLC was being discussed at the time, Waluigi could have been a name being tossed around, especially since he's a first party character and would need no negotiations to be included, so if he was going to be post-pass DLC he would be among the first to be decided.
Mmm, damn, I love a woman who can beat me to death.
To be more specific, I think the fans would better care about "why this character hasn't made it so far" "why Nintendo choose the others prior to my wanted" over arguing whether the next fighter is the ones we want.I can't buy it, Sakurai specifically said that "I decide if we can create a fighter based on their selection, then come up with the plan. " I doubt he would turn back on it after deciding it was feasible. It explains the Resident Evil spirits but I still think it's a long shot.
There is for sure, but few people actually use them, it looks like. I might as well look for another image with the same effect, I guess.Christ, I am so ****ing sick of seeing this same goddamn image any time someone jokes about threads going up in flames. Sure it's apt, but is there really no other image we can use?
This is great as is, but if you could twist this trailer a bit to fit Geno in there as another bonus DLC somehow, then it'd literally be perfect.For the past few days I've been thinking about something like this happening:
Trailer at The Game Awards, It's Waluigi, we see that he has an invite, and it's heavily implied that he stole it, making him #5. The actual #5 shows up behind him and starts to fight Waluigi for it. #5 wins, and Waluigi gets blasted Smash style out of the area where they fought. Fade to black, we see Challenger Pack 5: (The character's name goes here). Then it fades to Waluigi sitting down, looking sad that he has to be an assist trophy forever until he finds another invite on the ground close to him. He takes it happily and then we see Bonus DLC #1: Waluigi.
At least, that's how I see something like that playing out.
Is this credible in any way? It’d be great if trueThis was just posted over in the Master Chief topic.
I 100% agree with you here and have to respectfully disagree with Datboigeno . The thread has become much more of a Geno Social Thread and I think that’s something we should embrace. We have a chill attitude (usually lol) and a lot of members are becoming friends. Our love of Geno and support of him is what brings us all together. It’s not like we’ve abandoned the topic. There’s always someone talking about their personal connection or their wishes for the character or fanart, etc.Here's the thing, I think the Geno thread has grown to the point where I think it can be counted as a small community in of itself. It's why things like user memes and talks of other characters come so naturally. And while it is a comunity united around our love of Geno, the users and their likes have also taken focus and is cared about, even if it is unrelated to Geno. And I think that's great.
Is this actually real? If it is, was that suppose to be a hint? “Baboon”?
It's not real at all, just checked his Twitter.Is this actually real? If it is, was that suppose to be a hint? “Baboon”?
