Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

[Polarthief]

Mandycan was the only one saying specifically the 12th. Markomaro simply said "next week" last week and Sakurai low-key implied 6 would be announced before his next write up. Beyond that, a billion people have been saying "soon" since December so the waiting process has been kind of like a slow death even for insiders this time around.

I mean hey, I'll happily take an announcement/direct 1 day sooner than expected. Still hoping Mandy is wrong about DLC 6 though; most people have gotten the order on DLC so wrong.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

You guys don't need to prove yourselves on why Geno is logically likely. If people come in here and try to start beef, just ignore them or just say your response and move on. It is clear to see why Geno is likely. Again, as most of you know, I'm not even a personal Geno fan but I'm here supporting you guys because he is objectively likely I think due to the laundry list of reasons said. I think due to all of the characters included so far for Ultimate that Geno is super likely. I know the wait for a Direct has been bad, but just be patient, I think your guys' patience will be awarded soon enough.

I mainly support Geno just because of Fatmanonice and his deep history with the character. I want to see Fatman get his happy ending to his long ass Smash journey for Geno. He is a awesome dude and has done so much for the Geno fanbase that he really deserves to get Geno because without him, I don't think the Geno fanbase would have reached the heights that we are at today.

 

[Lord Woomy]

Slow day today, huh, thread?
Anyway, about the rumored direct, it feels a bit weird knowing this one may actually be our chance lol. Throughout most reveals for 2019, it's never really been our chance. I think Geno is our most likely 76 and 77 if that makes any sense, like, he has a really good chance to be either at the moment. I'm not sure if I know whether he's a more likely 76 or 77 but I hope he's 76 because I want us to be able to be happy and get off this wild ride before June lol. Either way, Geno in, CacoMallow real, yada yada.

 

[ForsakenM]

I really don't expect anything until March now. Nintendo loves to be unpredictable in most things and has no problems with making fans wait, so I predict early March.

They could have broken the pattern by having a January Direct since last year was February but they didn't, so rather than have a pattern of February Directs I feel like they could dare to wait until March.

I think we won't see Geno until E3 or God forbid VGAs. I'm with everyone else here in where if we don't see Geno in 2020, he is almost certainly not in. 2020 looks brighter for Geno than 2021 does. But hey, Sakurai can pretty much add who he wants in any order so we are on his crazy ride until it's over.

Now that I think about he could also be reffering that there will be an announcement on the 12th FOR the 13th. That could be what Mandy was trying to hint at, if they're credible that is.

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

Honestly given how little we know about Nintendo's non Animal Crossing releases in 2020, I'm not sure it would be wise to hold off on information more than they have. We've already hit the record for longest stretch of time between general directs, and given the jump to the next gen systems by Sony & Microsoft late this year, the earlier you can build hype and momentum for upcoming Switch releases, the better.

No guarantee of Smash news, though it would make business sense to reveal a significant character now to ratchet up interest in Fighters Pass 2.

DLC 6, and a major holiday title is the least I'm expecting. Hoping for some rumor confirmations like PM/Metroid 5 as well.

Bonuses: Switch Pro, BOTW 2 news, and other games that blow my mind because I wasn't expecting them.

Massive Bonuses: Geno is DLC 6 and SMRPG on NSO.

Even if Geno isn't 6, (Because he is 7) I would love to see SMRPG on NSO in the next direct <3

 

[Lord Woomy]

I think SMRPG on NSO could be to us what the Klaptrap AT was to K Rool fans. Something earlier in the direct that hints at a character shown off later. Geno could also be shown off earlier in the direct like Terry and NSO SMRPG shown off later. Either way, this direct's gonna make me sit at the edge of my seat lol

I literally screamed when I saw the Klaptrap, and cried when I saw K.Rool, same with the jiggy and banjo, I know it will be the same with Geno

Yeah for sure. The best part for me is there's a LOT of good potential stuff.
- Paper Mario returning to form (if it's a 3DS title like that one other rumor said, I will be so furious though).
- Metroid 5, 2D and a sequel to one of my favorites (Fusion).
- DLC 6 almost guaranteed to be shown off.
- NSO list, including SMRPG.
- Holiday 2020 title(s).
- Switch Pro?
- BOTW 2 news?

Like that's a metric ton of stuff that I am personally very interested in, so even if most of that list doesn't make it, I should be excited about a least a couple, right?

I literally screamed when I saw the Klaptrap, and cried when I saw K.Rool, same with the jiggy and banjo, I know it will be the same with Geno

Yeah that was me with Banjo. I'll probably do the same with Geno.

I didn't scream for KKR nor Ridley, but I was like "oh hell yeah, nice!".

My reaction towards Ridley was almost brain dead because of seeing "Everyone Is Here!" just moments before which made me not process my brain. When I saw K. Rool and Banjo & Kazooie I almost had a heart attack and was crying in joy.

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

I'm a bit more cynical about any reveals. I see some third party ports, 3D World Deluxe announcement, a new game for a non big three (Mario, Zelda, Pokemon) franchise; some DLC announcements for FE and/or Pokemon, and hopefully FP6 news.

I think some truly heavy stuff is being saved for E3, with the idea that Smash news or a new Metroid can satiate any dissatisfaction in the Direct otherwise.

All Holiday Switch titles (Odyssey, Smash, Pokémon) were all shown off in Q1 directs, then had a big direct or discussion during E3 to talk about it. There's no way they won't at least reveal the holiday 2020 title in this direct. Gives no time to process the reveal to then immediately go into discussion. Also doesn't do too well for their information starvation tactic.

As for some other stuff, there's been so many SKUs at Gamestop that I'd be shocked if we don't get a handful of new stuff. We also have little idea what's coming Q2 and after March really. There's not a lot on the table atm.

This direct is going to have major news. Some stuff will be saved for E3 for sure, but they can't show off pretty much nothing after they've done nothing since September.

I hope you're right. It could be that my dissatisfaction with Nintendo these past couple of months has bled into a certain cynicism. Between the lack of interest in Pokemon, the nothingburger that was the Game Awards, and the meh reveal of Byleth, I haven't really been excited about much since October, and it might have me expecting little news will make up for that drought since the fall.

Something I was thinking about is that as much as I would love to have Geno this year, a reveal around this time in 2021 would be the 25th anniversary of Mario RPG's release, which if nothing else would be one hell of a celebration.

 

[Fatmanonice]

I mean hey, I'll happily take an announcement/direct 1 day sooner than expected. Still hoping Mandy is wrong about DLC 6 though; most people have gotten the order on DLC so wrong.

It makes me uncomfortable to admit but... There's a lot of people that are pretty confident that Mandy is wrong about 6 and not saying anything so he looks bad in the aftermath if he's wrong. Of course, I'm not going to name names but I don't like when this happens. If he's wrong, that's that, but I don't think he should be hard dragged for it because I don't think he's done anything to warrant it. I don't agree with his prediction, as you all know, but I'm also not wringing my hands at the idea of him being wrong. I genuinely don't like that kind of behavior and there's very few people I feel deserve it.

 

[CannonStreak]

I am personally not too sure about Mandy myself. I mean, I am personally believing them on what theysays about Crash being number 6, but that only goes so far, and does so much. Still, I do have a feeling: If he is right about the Direct date/announcement date, chances are they could be right on Crash, even though as you may know, the latter is not a guarantee for happening if he is right on the first thing.

 

[MarioRaccoon]

One thing that is sure; it is highly difficult to know the order of the fighters of FP, unless you know someone in the planning/communication/marketing/localization team at Nintendo.

For example, lets say that you have a source at Activision and he told you that Crash is coming as a playable character for Smash. Ok, you know one of the FP2 fighters but you don’t know when it will be released, it can be in a few months or maybe a year later. You can speculate and say yourself “well if I heard it now, that means that Crash will come soon, so it must be one of the first two fighters..”. Then you post on the internet “Hey smash community, Crash is coming as FP6!!”. Afterwards, it is revealed that FP6 is other fighter, and no one will believe you more.

I wonder what mandy will say after if they are indeed wrong. Will they laugh at us or claim an excuse? They seem extremely confident it's Crash, that I'm not really sure if I can believe anything they can come up with if they're wrong. They seem genuine, why would they lie?

He seems pretty darn sure about Crash tho... I mean either he has a source no one else does or he doesn't care about getting btfo if he's wrong at all.

Well, I don't know about lying, but someone, probably PapaGenos, did say they might delete their tweets.

That said, they are taking a big gamble here with Crash, but if they are sure of him being in, well, that doesn't mean he'll be in, but at least they have the guts to make such a prediction, right or wrong.

This is true and why people were even predicting Crash for 4 FFS. From what I understand, the evidence is pretty overwhelming to the point that hardly anyone argues if but when anymore. I think he's going to be 8 but, as you all know, my New Year's Eve prediction was that he was going to be 9 because I originally believed we were at least getting 5 and 6 in January. This is why I won't fault Mandycan if he's wrong about Crash being 6: getting the order right is really, really hard even with good sources.

 

[Polarthief]

I hope you're right.

I've had this discussion so many times; just Google "odyssey/Smash/SwSh reveal trailer" and you'll see all the dates being Q1. Then they all had E3 directs and/or commentary from staff. Also while odyssey was an October release, I still consider any big Q4 title as a holiday title. Kids are likely to get Q4 releases as holiday presents, sans having a birthday in those months. Majority of people are born in Q1-3 anyway (about 75% of them, haha).

It could be that my dissatisfaction with Nintendo these past couple of months has bled into a certain cynicism. Between the lack of interest in Pokemon, the nothingburger that was the Game Awards, and the meh reveal of Byleth, I haven't really been excited about much since October, and it might have me expecting little news will make up for that drought since the fall.

Same here. I'm weirdly excited despite generally being a pessimist. Haven't had any good Nintendo news in awhile. I'm also an adamant critic of Gen 8.

Something I was thinking about is that as much as I would love to have Geno this year, a reveal around this time in 2021 would be the 25th anniversary of Mario RPG's release, which if nothing else would be one hell of a celebration.

Don't expect anything for it. Mother got cucked hard last year, in addition to being the Chinese Year of the Pig, PERFECT time to announce some Mother news, especially relating to Mother 3/Porky.

Said it before, but I personally do not care about Crash, so for me, this would be almost like another Terry reveal (except I actually know who Crash is). Just a personal thing, but after Byleth, Terry, Pokémon'd controversies, and the huge lack of info, I'd love a bone thrown my way. Selfish? Yeah, but it's just how I feel. Plus, I think Crash would be a better fit for #7 at E3 anyway.

I'm also not confident in assuming they're right or wrong at all, just my hopes that they are wrong.

PS: Has anyone credible said anything about Crash as well? I really don't remember. Mandy is the only one that I can recall advocating him.

Is it possible for Nintendo or Sakurai to change orders of who gets revealed around. If Mandy is right, and Crash is revealed later and is not Fighter 6, it may be possible that either that is the case, their sources were wrong, or that they were mixed up on the order themselves. Still, Mandy could be right, even if Crash is not Fighter 6, but being wrong about the number, as you may well know, still would hurt their credibility. Like I said, they are taking a big gamble here.

Honestly, anyone who doesn't know for sure should say "I heard X is going to be a fighter. No idea when/which DLC pack". That covers your ass for when it's not the very next one. It's honestly dumb to say "X is next" when you likely don't know for sure.

So how does Mandycan not know for sure, if I have this down correctly? It seems that they are at least confident that they know.

Idk, Verge was credible in the past but then said "SE is first" when SE was second. He was right about who but not right about order. That said, he still advocates for minecraft content despite the being 0.

My point is if Mandy is 100% on Crash, they should just say Crash, not that he's for sure #6.

Either Mandy has a source no one else does, or he's really not concerned with getting btfo and just wants the attention while it lasts. I'm kinda betting the former considering his twitter. Unless someone can use a wayback machine and show he HAS been wrong and has deleted tweets.

I see what you mean. Not sure I agree, at least where Mandy is concerned, to an extent, anyway. It is a big gamble they are taking, like I said.

Now, what Verge said, I agree, that was not smart, including how he still predicts Minecraft when there is no stuff from there being in the game.

 

[Polarthief]

That's kinda my point though is that this is what you would do if you legitimately do not care. Why take the gamble? Because saying "he's next" gets you way more attention than "he is coming, dunno when". One is a short term burst while the other is a long term consistency across up to 2 years/whenever the character is revealed.

Again though, not saying he's making anything up and he could totally be right (or half-right), but it's just dumb to say he's for sure next is all.

It feels so much like the latter for me, how have they accumulated some super reputable source that knows: Direct dates, characters coming out in the next few months, MK info, and knows the order to a tee without anyone else being able to do so? This source seems like they know waaaaay too much which is one of the indicators I use to tell if a Smash leak is fake or not.

It may seem dumb, but so far, at least they are not like the other leakers like Verge who have said the same thing. Plus, they did get Byleth right, it seems a few months before they were actually revealed, so you never know...

 

[Deleted member]

I listened to the parts of The Kinda Funny games podcast where Imran Khan mentions Nintendo going to Disney for rights to Sora. Seems like he was just speculating, Sora still has a chance, and could still be in. Master Chief, or him I don’t if ether will get in I don’t think people should give up support and hopefully ether gets in with volume 2’s fighters pass.

Anyway Mandycan I don’t know if he’s right about Crash I’m going to think he is But if he isn’t Crash I still Crash can happen, and I hope people don’t insult him because he might have been wrong about the order.

He’s a cool dude hopefully he can continue to enjoy Smash speculation and updates with us.

The Mii Costume List leaker/Terry Spirit leaker has backed Crash. So that's another person. Supposedly, an Activision document was briefly leaked that had future plans for Crash on it which included a Smash reveal? I don't know all the details on that one so I could be wrong. PapaGenos also was told by some rando on Discord that he suspects Cuphead would get a Sans style Mii Costume and after that was revealed said that Crash is number 6 (though this one is a little shaky). So there's stuff outside of MandyCan

 

[Polarthief]

Gotcha, thank you.

Supposedly, an Activision document was briefly leaked that had future plans for Crash on it which included a Smash reveal?

??? Weren't a bunch of people saying "Activision is notorious for leaking; we'd have heard something by now if Crash was in" just a few pages ago? This is the first I'm hearing of this specifically, granted my memory is absolute crap, so... yeah.

PapaGenos also was told by some rando on Discord that he suspects Cuphead would get a Sans style Mii Costume and after that was revealed said that Crash is number 6

That's probably one of the few I forgot.

Thank you though. I do believe Crash is in the FP but I'm very against the idea that he's next, personally.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Verge was pretty much spot on with the base game:

- Snake and Ice Climbers returning along with Ridley and Daisy as newcomers.

- Simon

- Isabelle

- Ken and Incineroar.

But he has pretty much been wrong about his DLC claims:

- Minecraft content coming in some form.

- Ender Dragon coming into the game as a boss though patch as the possible Minecraft content.

- Calling Hero Erdrick instead of Hero. Not really a big mistake though.

- Had a list along with Sabi who both try to claim who wasn't FP5 having a Three Houses rep being one of the deconfirmed categories.

Verge piggybacking:

- Saying Banjo & Kazooie was 99% in after Shinobi said it.

- Saying Terry was in after Nintendo accidently leaked SNK in the game themselves.

Verge has been miss or hit in this game with having top notch sources for base. But he clearly hasn't gotten any really strong credible sources for the DLC though.

 

[Fatmanonice]

There's a ton of stuff outside Mandycan for Crash and that's what I was getting at earlier. Of my six characters I'm predicting for the Fighter's Pass based on what I know, Crash by far has the most confidence. It's no contest. Like I said, he's one of the only characters that nobody is really even arguing anymore. Crash is honestly like Hero right now and people are hard sliding their chips on certain numbers because of the strong confidence that he's outright happening.

 

[DaxMasterix]

Crash 6 makes sence because he doens't make sence as a E3 reveal (Since sony will not be at e3 2020)
Just speculating here but I know activision milk their franchises, so I'm pretty confident about Crash being in this FP, but the number? Any except at E3 I guess

 

[StarLight42]

Hope it's cool if I can squueze a little question in here without veering too much offtopic. Any reason why Fatman is going for master chief and not steve? It's kinda weird to me how sans is an outfit yet there's still no minecraft content at all.
