The 6 months leading up to the E3 Direct of 2019 was easily the most toxic part of the speculation cycle. It's a time I don't miss at all, with code name arguments and bashing of people who wanted other characters Square owned besides Dragon Quest.

Question, with this out of the bag, does that leave you with anything else you're sitting on, or are you still having to squirm and hold back stuff you want off your chest?at bare minimum there is still the retro revival's from indies he has mentioned, he has said they are being done, but no what or by who
There's three other things in particular. The SMRPG remake was one of two things I was specifically asked to not make public by multiple people since April. The other is one of the three classic NES/indie revivals that's supposedly going to be announced by the end of the summer. There's two things that my contacts gave me the okay to make public but I've chosen not to because I believe their respective fanbases deserve the surprise. As I've talked about in the past, one of them has been kept a secret since last August and it's basically been a gaming community collective effort to not let it get out. On a much, much smaller degree, I guess I'm keeping the dead Namco franchise revival secret too but the other three things are so much of a bigger deal in comparison (no offense to that fanbase but they still deserve the surprise in my opinion).
All right, nifty. Something else to look forward to then. Namco's got some good franchises that they're holding onto so should be fun. Hope that vindication comes sooner rather than later though. The anticipation is just unreal now.
Ultimately, fans have the real power to impact the roster. There's maybe a handful of characters specifically rejected by Sakurai because fan reception is so bad (like Tingle, and even that needed a good chunk of the literal world hating him to sway Sakurai to avoid). Sakurai isn't going to add characters because people outright hate them; he will try to add characters that have the fan support (try, as there could be other factors holding a character back). So detractors' only power over the roster is to dilute and minimize fanbases: obsessively go after fans to squash their hopes and control the flow of debates and discussions. Now supporters avoid bringing up characters like Geno in discussion or they are ushered out from other character threads because the main group don't want to deal with the drama that character's detractors will bring into their thread (basically, the supporter isn't unwelcomed into a thread because they like a character, but because that character's detractors will soon follow them in). So if detractors verbally beat down the fanbase enough where support wanes, that character is less likely to get Sakurai and Nintendo's attention, thus they get skipped over.
This is exactly why I refrain from bringing up Geno around anyone besides certain places, literally because I and other fans are being harassed into silence.
Yeah, it's why I don't look in on 4Chan, Gamefaqs, or the general/social threads. It's pretty toxic
Those are not uploaded to the Smash Bros playlist, iirc they go to w/e Japan calls "Nintendo vs". Notice that the 44 videos do not have a single tournament match.
There's a reason I call that place "The Fart Chamber"
Business as usual. Just sharing tips and tricks about the character, etc. It's a family, you really think they'd break apart just by getting what they want?What will become of this place when Geno will be in smash ?
Probably the same thing that's happened to other character threads. This probably becomes the Geno general discussion thread for the character.What will become of this place when Geno will be in smash ?
Don't we all?

If you follow the link to the playlist, you'll find this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-R...jv&index=3&t=2965s&ab_channel=Nintendo公式チャンネル
The playlist is one thing, but the Direct website updating twice over the course of 4 days is another
For sure. I was just talking specifically about the Smash JP playlist and how its update seems to be just because of the tournament VOD. I definitely think the direct playlist update means something might be happening.
Both the Direct page and the Japanese Smash YouTube playlist have updated in the past day or so, implying an impending direct with a Smash reveal
maybe this, or a possible sakurai presents?? who knows at this point
Sakurai Presents is a pretty good bet since general directs are rather difficult to predict at the moment
keep an eye out for stars, sakurai putting up 7 fingers, or him holding a doll/action figure. XD
Most likely, there will just be a big FP7 in the center to indicate that is who will be revealed. I don't think Sakurai is going to make it that obvious.
i mean, sakuraui did put up 3 fingers for byleth, and "min min" was hidden in the arms fighter title words on the thumbnail
Yeah, back in April or May many people like NateDrake backed up a Mario Direct rumor. It's also the reason why stuff like like 3D All Stars or Mario Kart Live is gonna be released so soon (September 18th and October 16th). We alredy got the replacement of the Mario Direct. What is left is the E3 DirectMario website mentions Super Mario Maker 2 35th Anniversary Challenge with dates from April
Nintendo plans to celebrate Super Mario’s 35th anniversary with all sorts of games, events, and merchandise over the next few months. One part of this involves a Ninji Speedrun challenge. While the Nintendo Direct from a few days ago mentioned that it will be taking place in November, it may...
This is interesting. It has the original dates for the Mario Maker 2 Mario 35th Anniversary Ninji Speedrun as 4/14 at 7:00 pm PT – 4/21 at 7:00 pm PT.
So that would have put the original date for the Mario direct in either March or April, and not E3. That's quite a delay.
It better be called "Mr. Sakurai presents Challenger Pack 7", because if is called Mr Sakurai Presents ??? many people will be confused and if is Something Like Mr. Sakurai presents ??? 2 it will be just too weird
If we're getting anything this week, I think Wednesday is our best bet. Direct announcements typically happen on Wednesdays for a reveal on Thursdays, and it would also line up with Fatman's predictive model based on Amiibo Theory.
Either Monday or Wednesday, I believe. Or possibly Thursday like MisterMike said above.
I doubt Monday specifically because of Labor day. Even if they don't do that in Japan NOA would. Even I am off on Labor day.
How long have you had your previous avatar for until now?
I dunno. I've used Overmind since 2006 though I switched it from SC1 to SC2 after it came out. I switch to something else every once in a while. Almost exclusively Blastoise
There is a lot I personally want to say in regards to this, but I fear I would derail the thread...Just know that I stand in solidarity with you as an advocate for non profit charity against all manner of slander by the Bourgeoisie in the smash community (You know who they are)
After everything is stabilized fully and things back to normal, I have a feeling that when Nintendo's various delays are discussed and reviewed that we will find out that most were not caused specifically by the virus.Mario website mentions Super Mario Maker 2 35th Anniversary Challenge with dates from April

Which will make them look worse, which they should.
