I'd say Geno is likely to show up in some form. Either as a mii gunner costume or fighter. It's hard to say which exactly at the moment though, just depends on if the team wants to have an even less relevant fighter than Banjo in.

I know there's a number of Meme Masters here and today's conversations have painted a picture that the Dunk of the Decade ™ could be more insane than we possibly could have imagined. If someone could be so kind, could someone find a high quality of this template and slap a Geno hat on him?

Weren’t you pushing the idea of a triple reveal in January just a few weeks ago?

Funny how you use this as an argument for “fanrules can be broken!”, but Fatman has used this already debunked argument to try and discredit Sora and 2Bs chances.
I didn't mention fanrules or mention Fatman, why the hell are you bringing him up? I don't argee with his argument either and it has nothing to do with this.

After playing them a bit, Byleth has absolutely nothing that seems unique about them. What I mean is everything about their moveset has a very “been there, done that” feel to them.

I bring this up because...I’m absolutely 100% convinced byleth was originally a fp2 character, and was quickly swapped to be the final of fp1. It might also explain why everything about them feels so thrown together from stuff other characters already have, they were probably still in testing phase and sakurai just quickly threw together what would “work” to swap them with the original fp2 character. The only question is who and why they swapped them?
First of all, I highly disagree with Byleth not being unique
Second of all, no he wasn¨t meant to be an FP2 character. Why? Because he was a marketing choice (the trailer for the last wave of Third Houses DLC released right on cue with his reveal). You plan stuff like these out.

why the hell did dmc pull a fast one on us like that? Like, I feel like pretty much everyone was expecting Dante after it. But I guess we didn't learn our lesson T.T

I like hearing different viewpoints and opinions, but it doesn't seem like a certain user here feels the same way. I propose we all make use of the "ignore" feature so this board can remain civil and on topic.

To be fair, a lot of things can change in three weeks. I am sure three weeks before Byleth was revealed, many would have said that FP5 is "guaranteed to be a third party character." Things change. Also, "pushing the idea" is probably better phrased as "speculating." I don't believe everything Fatmanonice Fatmanonice says, but I acknowledge that he is speculating. The man has been saying this for weeks/months now.

Not trying to defend him. He can do that on his own. But his message was just a request from the Meme folks. No need to target someone like that.

long as things don'r get personal I don't see why we should. that would only further the stigma of us being an echo chamber

DMC said there’d be DMC 3 on Switch news the day of the Smash presentation, nothing more. The internet, being itself, twisted that into being Smash related but I think it’s unfair to say they did anything wrong.

If you read his posts you'd know that he treated a triple reveal as a pipe dream and nothing more

Doesn’t seem like he was treating it as a pipe dream to me.

Who even started that stupid ass rumour of byleth being part of FP2?

Ah damn you're right on that one, I gave into the hype and just saw the posts on Twitter about it happening the days before it. I didn't see any mention of it being specifically on DMC 3 but I should of looked into it more

Actual Fatman Quote Linked said:
So, a lot of signs that we could be getting a megaton Direct as soon as next week and there's a possibility that its the day that some of us have waited for most of our lives for. I know it's kind of weird to say but I feel this is a good time for quiet reflection but it honestly is when you think about everything that has happened in the past year. Hero's datamine unintentionally leaked around this time last year and that's something all in itself to consider. Most people believed that was Geno's "dead in the water" moment and yet, here we are, more optimistic than we probably have ever been as a collective fanbase. Not to be too trite but it's funny how life works out sometimes.
Seems like a pipe dream to me? Signs, Could Be, Possibility. Nothing definitive in that statement, in my opinion.

Doesn't even mention the triple reveal there. I also distinctly remember him stating that the idea was farfetched and none of the people he talks to believe it will happen, but to quote you "go off, I guess"

I hope you are enjoying your time in what is now the "nessdeltarune has personal issues with fatman thread"

Didn't you guys already talk about this like a week ago? He made it clear that it was all his speculation from the start, why are we bring up the triple reveal thing again?
Maybe it was speculation, but a user said that he was treating it as a pipe dream.

That post certainly implies he wasn’t.

He never said in this post we were definitely getting a triple reveal, and most of this was regarding how optimistic the Geno fanbase was at this time, not the possibility of a triple reveal.

Allow me to link you a post where he outright says that was his own speculation and wasn't stating it as fact:
https://smashboards.com/threads/newcomer-dlc-speculation-discussion.453424/page-1931#post-23783143

But go off I guess.

I was avoiding the internet around this time, so I didn’t see this post.

I’ll take the L on that front then.

So "a lot of signs that we could be getting a megaton Direct as soon as next week" is a declaration of the absolute? Get the freak out of here. You aren't even good at trolling. No way you're genuine. You're just actively trying to shut this thread down, but it's not going to work. Welcome to the select few that have found the other side of my ignore button.

Oh hey, what's this?
A leak implies 100% certainty, something I don't have. The triple reveal theory is mine and mine alone because, like I said, the people I talk to are expecting a double at best. Like I said, speculation because these aren't facts and can't be proven without a shadow of a doubt. There's where the difference lies. A leak is when you say something will absolutely happen, hands down or not. Leaks deal with absolutes, 0% and 100%. Speculation deals with everything in between.

That was my point as well. I get some things are subjective, but I am not sure how you see this as an "absolute" either. Definitely a speculation. A hopefulness sort of post. Not sure how a person cannot see this a speculation.

I mean, I have a hard time believing it too, just for the sheer incredulity
Bayonetta was a marketing ploy for Bayonetta 2, Corrin for Fire Emblem Fates, Hero for Dragon Quest 11S..
It's not that hard to believe that they added Byleth for marketing purposes too. Heck, they announced Persona 5 Golden and Persona 5 Scramble pretty close to Jokers reveal.

Sad that people have to be like that
Agreed

I'm honestly kinda insulted that this is the best the Geno thread can get for a resident troll.
