Because it hasn't been disproven yet. Most video/image leaks don't survive anywhere near this long under the microscope, yet Cacomallow has gone months now without a conclusive verdict. It's really a coinflip at this point IMO, and we'll just have to wait and see what the next announcement holds.
Yay, Fatman's essay is finally here!

I don't suppose you have links to your original timeline theory?
MisterMike
was right, it is kind of esoteric if people don't actively participate in this thread. I'll add a link later once you get back with it.
That’s like the opposite of what we’re saying. If leaks are real Nintendo usually takes them down, so them not taking this one down is the only real point against it right now, which is why we theorycraft to figure out a scenario where it could be real without getting taken down.

Nice essay Fatman! You really put a lot of hard work into it and it surely paid off. it certainly was an interesting read that's for sure I don't know how confident I am on Geno myself but your recap really puts things into perspective nicely for outsiders and even myself as I never considered the timing of things.

Thanks comrade. Added it in along with a few minor changes people pointed out.
Fatmanonice
, this was truly worth the wait! Gave me something to read on this lazy Sunday, and it was loaded with tons of interesting info!
I wouldn't trust it too much. They know people know that they've "predicted" things right in the past, so it's very possible they're saying that just to throw those people off. Or they just actually don't know for sure now and they actually are just predicting. That said, if Geno really is #5? That would be pretty great.
Maybe tomorrow
I am thinking either Tuesday or Wednesday, just so they can go over the system changes before people will have to actually interact with them.
Given the maintenance schedule, I’m guessing Wednesday with a Sakurai presentation right after
If I recall right, the announcement for Joker's presentation came randomly at like 8pm one night.
I'll call it a bible from now on to really make justice to it.Today was a day that will go down in history. The fabled Geno essay, bible, whatever you may call it.
Great work
I'm betting Wednesday, or maybe Tuesday. Just seem like the right time to me
Joker was announced at the game awards though, so while it wasn’t a direct, it also wasn’t really “random” seeing how it was at a big game event the night right before smash’s release. People were expecting Nintendo to say SOMETHING smash related there.
I like how you already just assume my reaction by adding the "other than" part to it. Real cute, but truth is I don't care about leaks. Leaks damn near destroyed Smash speculation for me and kinda put me off Smash for a while so I don't like referring to them. I also think that leak culture had turned into a cancer in this community which is why I hate getting involved with them. And I don't care about DOOM either. I just... don't. Never got too deep into the games. They're fun, I just never gave them as much time as I would have liked too.
No, you misunderstood me.
I think you're overreacting. Wait until their twitter updates before losing hope.
WEDNESDAY !!1
Bravo Fatman! Bravo!
My prediction is that:
I'd say Wednesday. As mentioned earlier, Directs usually tend to fall on a Wednesday.
NoA ambassador and VRPlant have more or less "retired" from insider stuff so we're back to flying blind on Direct dates.
I thought that only the NoA ambassador retired from insider stuff, doesn't VRPlant only speak when he knows things are happening for sure or did he got tired about that stuff too?
Fatmanonice
I've read your essay and enjoyed it thoroughly, easy to see how much effort and love you put into it.
Fatmanonice
for the essay. It was a good read, honestly. Hopefully in the event that Geno DOES come to Ultimate, you make another one or share a word like that again.

ChronoBound
has to say about Geno after he get's in. I would like to hear his long essay about Geno if he has one for him. The dude always has long, in depth, interesting essays he writes about characters especially after they get in.
Thanks for this Fatman. It is a true work of art.
A good number of people are still in contact with VRPlant but, based on their job, I don't think they feel comfortable doing it anymore. VRPlant knew very, very specific info and I think that put a lot of heat on them, arguably making it easier to deduce who they were than most involved in official Nintendo stuff. In short, it was kind of encouraged for them to "quit" the insider stuff so they wouldn't risk their job.
