Am I missing? First, the leakers say something about something happening between the 11th and the 22nd. Then they say there will be an Indie Direct on the 17th and a General one on the 24th. Now a General Direct on the 28th? Unless I am missing something or have something wrong, I must ask: What is going on here?

This isn't the first time insiders heard different dates or are just guessing

It is time for us to do the pointing and the laughing

  • "This happened last month"
No it didn't, because last month Kelios was actually right about the time of the announcement and not just talking out their ass. Seriously, didn't this guy say something was happening on the 10th as well, why are people even listening to him?

The consensus seems to be that there's an Indie World almost certainly happening next week but also alot of rumblings pointing towards a general very soon after and now Zell is teasing the 28th.

I know, but to me, it kinds conflicts on what was heard about the 24th thing. Plus, despite the time we are in right now, when did any Direct happen on a Friday?

When did anyone say the 24th? Regardless, everyone seems a little lost about the date and there isn't a real consensus other than "not next week, before the end of the month". The March Mini took place on a Friday anyway.

Alright. I have something to share in light of recent events:

I was debating telling you this, because honestly the last time I tried to go public with this kind of stuff It didn't end well for me, I'm taking a risk with this and I know there's a high chance most if not all of you might laugh or call me nuts or a liar, but I have no reason to. I know many of you in this topic have liked my posts enough in the past to see that I don't bull****, and i've been here for a while so you know i'm not just some random leaker that will disappear on you. I am a member of this community and I love all of you. I gain nothing by lying to you and I risk damaging my good faith here with all of you if I were to tell you an untruth, so what I am about to say will be blunt and to the point:

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN WHAT IS - IN MY OPINION - NEAR CERTAIN REASON TO BELIEVE THAT GENO IS GOING TO BE IN THE GAME AT SOME POINT AS A PLAYABLE FIGHTER.

This information does NOT come from an established insider, but through my own personal discovery based on my own recent events. The exact details of which I am uncomfortable sharing at the moment, but i will tell you this: If this ends up not being the case and Geno isn't in the game, it will be the first and ONLY time I have ever been wrong after being made this sure.

THERE IS ALWAYS THE CHANCE THIS COULD HAPPEN!

To put it simply, this is by no means a definite, infallible piece of evidence. I am simply telling you that if it holds up, this will be the only time relying on it has failed me. Ever.

For credibility's sake, I will tell you just a few things I was made aware of through this in the past before they were official:

- KING K. ROOL in Smash

- BANJO-KAZOOIE in Smash

And in the world of sports:

- The XFL coming back

- Tom Brady playing for Tampa Bay


What I am telling you beyond that is that my evidence is very personal and is not based on any insider sources, nor any illegal leaking activity on my part. I do not expect any of you to take me at my word or treat this as reputable proof. I'm just trying to explain that every single time I've had this happen in regards to something, it has ended up coming to pass. If I am wrong, I'm wrong. I'm not trying to hype YOU up to believe anything. I'm ONLY telling you where I stand. I am now 100% convinced Geno will be in the game based on this track record. This is not a joke. If my reason for believing so turns out to be untrue in Geno's case, it will a first. That said, if it does not happen, I won't be putting stock in it as much going forward.

IF Geno does get confirmed, I will happily share what it was that brought me to this point of certainty. For now, I am going forward under the belief he will inevitably be in the game and i'll let you know if anything changes. I hope you all can forgive me if I'm wrong, but i really don't think I will be if history is any indication.

BE WARNED: I DO NOT WANT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BROKEN DREAMS! I love you all and I wouldn't be posting this for ANY other reason but to give hope. I don't want to hurt anyone and I don't want to chase any clout. I've been very adamant about the fact that people lose a connection between themselves and their fellow man when this happens and if i end up being right. I don't want to be known as a leaker or an insider because I'm no. This information doesn't come from that. Much like @papagenos had his phone call or Fatmanonice Fatmanonice has his own reasons and/or sources, it's all just a very, very, very strong sign Geno is in. It could be wrong. It could be terribly wrong, but it hasn't failed me yet. Not once.

I would advise this NOOOOOOOOOOOOT to be used in any videos as this kind of evidence is very personal and private. Please, do not mention me as a leak or inside source. Trust in this confidence along with me at your own discretion.

I'm JUST trying to let you know that I am sold based on evidence I believe in very strongly. So please don't go overboard. Please, and I ask that sincerely.

Let's see what happens.
When you're this certain about something, you've gotta put it all on the table and go all in. Don't "maybe I'm wrong" and second guess yourself, just go for it all out. "I've recently gotten serious evidence about Geno from a source that's never been wrong. I know in my bones, for a fact, that Geno is going to be in Ultimate." BAM. What other people do is their own responsibility.

Well, I heard something was supposed to happen on then, not necessarily a General Direct (My bad). But something still. Since ResetERA has cursing, I can still PM you the links if you want.

I can vouch that Setanna literally said on his twitter to expect an announcement less than 4 hours like 14 hours ago and it’s still nothing. Isn’t that a bit too specific knowing exactly what time there will be an announcement? I know it can be difficult to pin point directs, but come on, he’s either full of bull or his source. Don’t you find it odd to start listening to a guy who started “leaking” stuff since July and hasn’t shown any credibility?

Plus, the things he did get right, he was most likely piggybacking off others.

When someone bets their entire reputation on a single Smash character not happening:

View attachment 282279
Yeah, it could like you pointed with you sources that they said all hear Waluigi but neither think is a possibility. Just thinking that the characters they want are only with good shot. As @Armadillo5_42 said he is Most Likely piggybacking of KingZell, Nate or Grubb and just was searching popularity. He is being inmature when says that "Is never gonna happen". Nobody is Nintendo or Sakurai to say if could happen or no. There isn't reason why say Geno is never gonna happen
-Irrevelant: Watch Terry's video
-Spirit: Min-Min is In In (Sorry, I have to)
-A character won't be in just for Fan Demand if they can't promote something: Sakurai confirm K. Rool, Banjo, Ridley and The Belmonts are in just for fan demand
-He would just be Mii Gunner: Sakurai Himself said that Geno would have an Amazing moveset
I think I said all that was needed

Okay, I decided to do math based on the pattern of directs from E3 2018 onwards since that is when Ultimate was announced, and here are the calculations I got from every indie direct and general direct with one inclusion being the Mario Maker 2 direct.
E3 2018 to first indie of August 2018-38 days
Second indie of August to September 13th- 16 days
December 2018 indie direct to first general of 2019- 47 days (20 if you instead use the second indie direct)
Indie direct March 2019 to the Super Mario Maker 2 general direct- 55 days
May 31st indie direct to E3 2019- 11 days
August 2019 indie direct to the last full general direct on September 4th-16 days
and lastly, the March 2020 indie direct to the general mini we got the same month-9 days
The average I got from my initial results is 27 days. If I use the 20 instead of 47, the average is 24 days when rounded up.

So, to recap...
  • We still have a "one more stop" and the "main event", both of which are likely happening before the end of August.
  • We're likely getting an Indie Direct next week, possibly on the 17th.
  • After that, on the week after, we might be getting a big Direct (or at least bigger than an Indie or Partner Showcase) sometime around the 28th.

Not saying this guy is credible, but it’s possible it could be a first party.
I think we're focusing on how we've seen this story before. Lot of peoples' credibility died a hard death betting against Ridley, K. Rool, and Banjo. Pretty sure it's going to happen again with Geno and Waluigi at this rate. You'd figure people would learn by now.

Okay this has been bothering me, because that’s not true.
It is what it is.
You can play pretend all you want, I speak from experience.
I was one of like, the only 3 guys on gamefaqs who kept advocating for Waluigi for a good year and a half inspite of the massive hate and ridicule we received daily from detractors and Waluigi fans alike.

Wait, so now we're expecting a General direct on the last Friday of the month? LOL And after so many of us were sure that we wouldn't hear anything until September, Nintendo goes and drops the bomb 4 days from the start of September...

Nintendo: "See? We got it to you a month early! The next direct was in August, not September!"

There are still people that support him. I think he might be one of dlc fighters and I don’t care if you think I’m delusional for it.

Maybe ditch gamefaqs and go on Twitter or discord?

People always be like "Aren't ya gonna be disappointed if you hype yourself up and Geno isn't in?"
Bro, Geno ain't got ****. The most disappointing thing in my life will always be finding out that the Rice Krispies cereal tastes nothing like Rice Krispies Treats
Nothing can beat the disappointment I felt back with that Back to the Future hoverboard prank commercial where they even hired Christopher Lloyd to appear in it and promote it....

I'd like to see him in myself. Honestly I'm not one of those who think they're high and mighty and tell you who should & shouldn't be in, I get excited whoever is in.
Geno? Yes. Waluigi? Of course! Dante? Sure. Another Fire Emblem? Go for it. (Heck bonus hype points if it's my girls Tharja or Camilla)

My 'disappoint of overhyped' is a short one. Like when I saw Mimikyu was a Pokeball & not playable. "Aaaah dang it. Oh well."
Plus, the way things have been this year, "A certain character wasn't announced in Smash yet" is far below my list of "Disappointments" at the moment.

As long as it is not the November Direct, my Dissapointment can't go lower. Forget the Grinch ****, that Direct sucked either way (no modes, the World of Light cutscene was overrated, etc)

Shorthand list of things in my life that would be more disappointing than Geno missing Smash again:

-Star Fox Adventures

-Fooly Cooly Season 2 and 3

-Trying vanilla by itself the first time

-Jungle Book 2

-Genndy Popeye originally getting cancelled for the Emoji movie

-Finding out Creedence Clear Water Revival were from California and faked their accents

-the 1910 Phantom of the Opera novel
