Looks like the thread made it to 2020 before the actual 2020, holy jalapeña, this thread moves fast when it comes to speculation. :lol:

I don't have the photoshop mastery some of you seem to have, but here are a few memes I've made.

Also, Fatmanonice Fatmanonice , about your list of ten, are the two unknown fighters particularly fanservicey like Geno, Lloyd or Waluigi, or less so, like Sol Badguy or (to an extent) Nightmare?

There you are, reading the biggest Smashboards thread in the site's history. And all of the sudden, you see naked Geno.

You didn't ask for this, you didn't choose this, yet there it is. And it's treated no differently than seeing a more wholesome meme image.

Somewhere... overthinking something

Fatmanonice
So, in light of the Indie showcase today and the King Zell stuff, I really do have to wonder, and maybe Fatmanonice Fatmanonice can shed some light here - is it in the realm of possibility that Halo was also leakbait for Banjo, like Steve? I doubt it's the kind of thing the NoA source really ever discussed (or the kind of thing that can be talked about if he did), but "Master Chief Collection is coming to Switch" is the kind of thing I remember hearing this time last year. It seems like if you really wanted to front for Banjo, Halo and Minecraft are the greatest ways to do it, and keeping them both in the conversation would be ideal.

The question really is, is King Zell the only one pushing the Halo angle anymore, or has it been murmured about behind the scenes even after Banjo?
Not sure. Like I said earlier, King Zell's bent is that Nintendo and Microsoft were/are working on a big joint project together and it was always his thoughts that the project relates to Halo. The NoA source has never talked about Halo, Master Chief has never been a name heard for Smash, and the Master Chief Collection was pretty much always "his idea." This is why we entertained the idea in the spring that Banjo (or possibly Master Chief but much less likely) was going to come with Rare Replay (another common rumor at the time) and/or the Master Chief Collection at E3 and, again, the basis of my grand "Red Carpet" statement.

From my standpoint, even if the Mallowdemon leak is fake, I'm not treating it like it lessens Geno's chances, Geno's chances are where they are Mallowdemon or not - it's just that if it's real, he's 100% playable. Or, I guess in some horrible timeline, it's a 99% and we end up getting 1% costume'd.

Just the fact that the Mallowdemon leak exists and has managed to go this long without a solid debunk makes it feel like it'd be a real loss to see it go, especially when the character we end up getting is the other green space shooty man.
I understand haha, and I’m of the same opinion. What I was specifically talking to were the people earlier who were saying to the effect of “I don’t want Chief because it means Geno won’t get in”.

The two don’t equate haha

No one should ever have a random chance of memeing for the lewd puppet :yoshi:

Oh, you're ignored? No wonder he hasn't weighed in on any of these hilarious digs and memes.
Yeah, me and Dynamic are likely put on ignore by him since we have called him out for his behavior many times (with the support of basically the entire thread). We just have both done it multiple times.

Do hate towards him though (clealry, as I'm joking with him right now), and lately he has been fine.

So has Rare Replay fallen off in recent months? I remember Sabi specifically saying that it was happening

Does it still seem like it's happenning or no?

Not to throw gasoline on a slowly dying fire, but with all the developments concerning Sabi as of recently, this doesn’t seem all that likely as of now.

Which would sorta blow. Would’ve loved to play some good ol’ Banjo-Kazooie on the go.

Wait, wasn't Indiegamerchick the first person to allude to this, they also alluded to Banjo WAY back as early as last year; they deleted a bunch of tweets so her claim was called into question until Banjo was finally revealed and she replied "I'm never teasing anything ever again"

...I forgot about that! Yeah they mentioned something about that last year, I remember watching the PapaGenos video on it.
Perhaps it is coming. Heck, prove me wrong Rare and do it!

OK, Sakurai, we're 2025 pages and counting fast. Hurry the freak up and put Geno in already before this thread collapses under its own mass like a neutron star.

That last one made me bust out laughing because it's exactly how I imagined the trailer would play out.

I'm not a master chief supporter, and I'd prefer Doomslayer just because of the leak. But are people seriously saying chief isn't as big a deal as Doomslayer? That's absurd. Comparing Chief to Crash and Doomslayer to Mario? That's some kind of awful joke. Sure, Doom came first. But Halo is a much much MUCH MUCH bigger deal than Doom. It's not even a contest.

It IS interesting how this DLC cycle has turned out

Joker: Literally no one saw him coming (insert song here)

Hero: The worst kept secret in Smash history, everyone knew about him

Banjo: A small handful of people knew about him since last year, but the mere idea that he was actually in was so hard to imagine that no one believe them, but as it got closer and closer to E3 more and more people found out.

Terry: Another big secret that no one leaked, and only got out thanks to Nintendo's own screw-up

Fighter 5: No one knows and insiders are at each others throats; in making the identity so hard to crack Nintendo may have caused the worlds best viral marketing campaign by accident

I mean... to be fair, with Doom being the grandfather of all FPS games alongside Wolfenstein, Halo probably wouldn't have existed without it. It's much like a Dragon Quest kind of thing. I don't agree with the Crash and Mario comparison either, but Doom's legacy really can't be understated.

Yeah as a Doom fan I unfortunately have to agree with this. But I want Doom Slayer more, basically because of like Sakurai said in the Terry video that a character doesn’t have to be recognizable. I think Doomslayer is a better choice than Master chief because of his faster speed and potential move set IMO, and that Doom has a larger impact on gaming than Halo. Halo might be more iconic but it didn’t make as big of an impact on gaming as Doom did.

It's pretty crazy to see. The fact that Fighter #5 has managed to stay such a well-kept secret is mind-boggling. The general visibility of the gaming community at large has never been so crazy and the fanbase has never been so far on the edge of their seat. I'm just worried that fighter #5 is going to end up a horrifyingly underwhelming conclusion to what would otherwise be an earth-shattering hype-gasm.

More I think about it the more I think Chief would be a good turn for Geno; it would break one of the arbitrary fan rules: "No company can double dip for DLC" If we got Banjo and Chief in the same pass, there's no reason Geno should be locked out because of Hero or potentially Sora

Honestly I think theres a good chance we’re getting Geno, Chief, and Doomguy before dlc is over. If one of the green boys makes it I’ll take it as a good sign for the other.

Also thinking of Geno and Chief showing up at the game awards together, they could kinda frame it as “space warriors” going head to head, since one is a space marine and the other a literal star being. Ngl if that happens I’ll probably have a heart attack

They had us in the first half marines not gonna lie

That's why there's a huge pushback against KOS-MOS. Also the fact that the Insiders seemingly killed off every other major pick that would end the pass on a high note

Like, if I had to list the universally accepted "Best Fighter 5 Choices" across the Smash Fandom it'd be: Geno, Doomslayer, Master Chief, Crash Bandicoot, Sora, Nightmare, Heihachi, and Dante, and basically everyone on that list has been wiped out by Insiders. Honorable mention goes to Phoenix Wright and Amaterasu

Doom has an impressive legacy for sure. But Halo's legacy also cannot be ignored. Halo was a killer app, full stop. It sold Xboxes, It had a big effect on the design of FPS games in general after it's release. Plus it more or less kept microsoft from falling out of the console game.

after the Xbox, everyone wanted to be halo, it was effectively the gold standard of FPS in it's generation.

Sony tried to sell a damn game with the advertisement that it was a halo killer. When other games are comparing themselves to you in order to sell, you've reached the top.
