Now, with us: The List 2.0.0 (Nintendo Direct Edition) courtesy of Polarthief Polarthief View attachment 278779
Awww yiss, The List™2's Electric Boogaloo up in here.

Just one thing about the "Stuff Nintendo did" section... Where's the "tournament being early" come from? Just checked, and the last few tournaments have been for 3 days, starting on a Friday, and this new one doesn't seem to be any different according to the Twitter post.
It's starting today. At least that's what Paraspikey Paraspikey told me. Idk man, over half the **** I compile usually comes from him.


What did he mean by this?

It means we won, gg. I love that we got a credible leak for him while I'm half asleep cuz I got not even 4h of sleep gosh dangit.

Oh well, it's already on the list (and I'm gonna add The List™ 2). GG guys, let's get to 3k before Monday!

Well, that's just my take on it.

I think Geno has a fine shot, but I don't buy this video as a credible leak in the slightest. There's too many logical loopholes you have to jump through in favor of it confirming Geno, be it a supposed cancelled Direct at the last minute, to no one on Gamestop's staff catching the error and uploading it anyway, while also keeping said video up for now 3 days and not making a big deal of it.

You got it all wrong, and here is my very in-depth and very serious explanation (super duper serious!) as to why:



You used the wrong image. You use this one. :happysheep: Okay, I'll let you go now. Thanks for visiting!

I think GameXplain got some inside info, but there is a very good chance he might be playing along with the question. I don’t think GameXplain would ever flat out say a character is happening. Is this even real?

Is this real? I don't know if Andre would do something like that. Leaking something that big would likely hurt GameXplain's relationship with Nintendo. Could've just been joking, but who knows

Anyone wondering if it's real, yes, it was actually posted by him on his verified account. He could just be joking around or something, but it was in fact a legit post from him, not photoshopped or anything.

The pessimist in me thinks that the wording implies the costume rather than Geno himself

The puzzle is coming full Square. I will realize my 100% bet on Geno was/is always worth. The puppet I remember when I was 6 years will reborn in my mind being 30 years now.

When the trailer drops, it will be the most amazing thing I have ever seen on the Internet. Been waiting for this moment since Smash 64. But a proper demand since Brawl, as many of you.

For me he is in, regardless of recent news. He has always been planed for FP2. Geno will awake after the long 24 years of sleep.

There is no way Sakurai, Nintendo and Square won’t make this character playable after all the demand, all the years, FF and DQ already in Smash, the Big Others are already in.

There are only a few MUST and Geno is on the top of those. It’s his time to shine.

Geno in Smash will make me revive the feeling of my inner child. My most wanted character in my favorite game ever which I have played all my life in all Smash games.

This is it. Geno will awake.

O.o Why the hell would he risk Gamxplains relationship with Nintendo like that if Geno is truly next o.O Covering Nintendo is like their bread and butter

Andre I feel is having fun with this. His response is open ended. "He is! in Fighter Pack 7" means nothing. It is a non answer to the question. I wouldn't read into this too hard gang.

EDIT: He is not saying he is a challenger or a Mii Costume. Just that he is...in fighter pack 7.

Honestly I think it's just Andre being cheeky. Someone asked him to say Geno's in, so he said Geno's in. I know the GX crew have hinted things before, but this feels a little too direct for someone who depends on a good relationship with Nintendo.

But hey, at least he's giving us more to speculate on so we can steam ahead to 3000 pages. Thanks, Andre!

Ladies and gentlemen; fellow Genobros. When two remarks such as these coincide, there's simply no way that hype can be tamed. If these remarks are indeed LEGITIMATE (not doctored, photoshoped, etc.), I feel the time has come to board the Hype Train (for reals).:2gud:
My dude, xpnc xpnc post is about Banjo...from last year...

If Shinobi out of nowhere hint Geno, that would be a different story... if only we got that...

Can't explain it, but that Andre post is giving me The Fear that he's a Mii Costume again. It doesn't make sense, I know, but The Fear cares not.

*shakily puts on bifocal lens*

Hmm...?

*notices the post is in fact the one made prior to Banjo & Kazooie's reveal back in 2019*

God ******! :mad:

*moments later*

Aye, you're right. I miss-read the post. Hard to keep a clear mind in these times. :ohwell:

Yeah... that wording could indicate the costume (if he is serious that is) I´m not gonna lie

If you’re implying costume, there are no Mii Costumes in the fighter packs
Still, I could see someone conflating "announced/released with FP 7" with "in FP7", even someone as in the loop as Andre. But hey, here's hoping!

The only things that come in fighter packs are fighters, stages, spirits, and music. Geno is not a music or stage, and already has a spirit. So either he's the fighter, or Andre's messing around.
We are always getting Mii Costumes with the fighters though which in essence could count as "inclusion"

See the fact that there's such a fire in everyone's hearts now and Geno is being chatted up by EVERYONE this close to our supposed impending Direct makes me think he is indeed in

Another note, Costumes are NOT apart of any challenger pack. Just the Fighter, Stage and Music.

AGAIN, he gave a non answer and was more than likely joking.

EDIT: You could argue that costumes do come along side the packs, but I do not think the energy needs to be put towards this gang.

Most likely explanation: Andre is exercising exact words since the other person flat-out asked to be told Geno was in--in which case, this doesn't really matter.

Most wanted explanation: Andre is correct and will use the "exact words" thing to defend himself if Nintendo sees this.

Least wanted explanation: The costume will be brought back alongside Challenger Pack 7.

Most humorous explanation: Geno is in but Andre doesn't know that, and will be put in an awkward situation when he is revealed.

Also there's technically no such thing as a "Fighter Pack 7" since they're all called "Challenger Pack #"

My guess is with the wording, he either means the costume or he isn't serious. I sincerely doubt he'd risk his livelihood to straight-out say that. Shinobi was being dodgy about it; therefore, this is not comparable.

I seriously doubt the costume would be returning. There's a chance, but I doubt it. Geno's one of the last really big heavy hitters for Smash requests and I don't think they're going to do the Mii Costume twice.

I feel like he's joking around. "Tell me he's coming" doesn't mean that Andre actually knows about it - he's just telling the person what they asked to be told.

Something feels off... André wouldn't have hinted at a Direct happening soon and Geno as Fighter #7.

...I don't think this means anything, as André never leaks anything. Plus his wording was weirdly vague and strange.

I doubt Andre would just randomly leak something like that.

It's out of character for him.

If he actually knew Geno was in as DLC 7, he probably wouldn't say something like that. Seems too risky to me, especially when you're basically best buds with Nintendo

Ether he doesn't know anything and just playing around, or he does know who 7 is and it isn't Geno. Personally leaning on the former
