Did the thread get linked somewhere else or something? I'm not seeing any troll posts so I don't know why there's so many people in here right now.

 

[Phoenix Douchebag]

Not to cause false alarm, but apparently someone is trying to DDoS this thread, at least that's what i got from what Rie Sonomura said.

It's happening in the Social Thread too, so might be a site wide DDOS.

EDIT: Not now. Someone is likely targetting the Geno thread specifically.

I dunno... if a DDOS attack was occurring we likely wouldn't be speaking right now on this site. Or I guess it could be an "attempt" at one.... but there certainly are better methods than taking 100-300ish computers and redirecting them to a page, and nothing else.

Who is/are the loser(s) who is doing these attacks, anyway?

 

[GenoDoge]

Who is/are the loser(s) who is doing these attacks, anyway?

Probably someone who hates Geno or this thread. I wonder if it's someone from 4chan or GameFAQs.

 

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

Hey, I guess it might be a potential audience. Anyone got a link to The List™? Lol

AKA The loser sites. Why can't people realize a DDoS attack over their least wanted is not worth it?

Here's Polarthief's list LOL:

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

Xenoblade Chronicles: DE has just been rated by the ESRB on Nintendo’s official website, meaning that it is likely finished and ready to release. Hopeful for Zippo to be right with the second(and hopefully main) Direct possibly being this week.

Ayyy there we go

 

[GenoDoge]

Seems like it's stabilizing again.

 

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

Interesting thing to note, a day or two ago it was like 1:30 AM and I couldn't sleep, so I peeked at the board real quick and there were 50-something guests viewing it.

 

[MattX20]

So, there was a large amount of guests here earlier?

 

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

So, there was a large amount of guests here earlier?

Yep, up to like 700 apparently. I was only here when there was 300.

Most likely a *****y attempt at a DDoS

 

[MisterMike]

Yo wait... what if every time the thread blew up with guests was just the site bugging out?

 

[skydogc]

Hi guests! Geno will awake as a fighter 100%. That’s all I can say!

This made me think, while I'm sitting at the store waiting...ahem...

Be our guest
Be our guest
Put our Geno to the test
He'll be smashin 'round the stages, cherie
And we provide the rest
He is sure
To be our star
Luma loves to see him too
Watch his trailer, it won't get old
Don't believe me? Ask the tadpoles!

He can dash
He can dance
After all, pals, he's advanced!
And our hero here is never second best!
Go on, spin around
Take a glance and then you'll
Be our guests
Yes, our guests
Be our guests!

Geno whirl
Geno beam
Geno blast is what it seems!
Canon prepare and serve sun flairs
His name, hard pronounced!
You're ready
And you're scared
But the big day's all prepared!
No one's gloomy or complaining
While the Genobros're entertaining
We tell jokes
I do tricks
Fatman knows all the schticks!
And it's all in perfect taste that you can bet
Come on and lift your caps
You've won your own blue hats
To be our guest
If you're stressed
It's Seven Stars we suggest
Be our guests
Be our guests
Be our guests

Life is so unnerving
For star warriors who're not warring
He's not whole without a quest to set upon
Ah, those good old days when he ran around
Suddenly those good old days are gone
Twenty four years of woe
Needing so much more than cameos
Needing some action, a chance to use our skills
Most days we just lay around the star road
Twinkly, small and lazy
You walked in and oops-a-daisy!
It's a guest
It's a guest
Spores alive, well I'll be blessed
Wishes poured and thank the Lord
I've had the star capes freshly pressed
The reveal
We wanna see
And my friends that's fine with me
While Rosalina does her floating
He'll be shining, He'll be shooting
He'll be fast
Hiting hard
With a symbol! but not a card..
Star it is! We want the folks to be impressed
We've got a lot to do
Is it three stars or two?
For you, our guests
All our guests
All our guests
All our guests!

Be our guest
Be our guest
Hold down Y is our request
It's so long since we had him here
And we're obsessed
With this game
With this pass
Yes, indeed, it'll be a gas!
While the starlight's still glowing
Let us help you
We'll keep going
Stage by stage
One by one
'Til you shout, enough, I'm done
Then we'll see you off to be in a forest maze
Tonight you'll prop your feet up
But for now, let's pick-me-up
Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Geno is our guest!

 

[GenoDoge]

Seems like everything has calmed down for now, and hopefully for good.

Eh...

Okay but like why? Lmao why DDOS this thread where like 8-10 people post in the same thread a day. Seems like a waste of time for what would be more than likely a very tiny response and would reinforce the idea of "rent free" on the detractors. Seems really dumb to go through the effort but whatevs.

Been lurking a little bit here and there. Any recent developements overall? Any ideas as to when the next announcement will be or are we chillin till VGA?

Fatman has done some speculation we might see some sort of Nintendo presentation this week or next. Nintendo also has confirmed the October Partner Showcase was the last Partner Showcase of the year.

That could be cool. Let's hope we get some Smash news, although I'm expecting it to come december or january since it still feels a bit too soon for smash news.

 

[MrJudd]

All the public stuff that suggest something in the next two weeks:

-NSO updates have been roughly every two months this year and the last one was in September.

-Everything has been pushed back 4-5 months. Coincidentally, E3 was supposed to be about 5 months ago now (next Monday if you want to be absolute literal)

-7/11 ad is strangely MIA.

-All but one of the non-Monday maintenances this year have correlated to a presentation that week.

-DOOM Eternal is still MIA. Zenimax said "soon" over a month a half ago now.

-Skyward Sword and BotW 2 retail leaks were roughly about two months ago now.

-Ninja Gaiden Trilogy and FF VII/VIII combo pack leaks are about a month and a half ago.

-This week is the first week without a Nintendo Versus weekend tournament of any kind since April.

-Nintendo UK announced today that 35 days of Mario giveaways will start Monday November 16th.

-Nintendo has had a presentation in November of some kind the last 8 years.

-Massive DK trademark update in September. Was attached to mostly already announced games.

-Massive Kirby trademark update in October. Was attached to Kirby Fighters 2 which was already announced.

-November is the start of the second half of Nintendo's fiscal year.

-Amiibo theory suggests an average 12 gap between character releases and Amiibo waves. The next Amiibo wave is November 20th, making November 5th the plausible date if you count backward and December 2nd if you count forward. Along with this, Byleth was released 12 days from their reveal, Min Min 7, and Steve also 12, making all the 2020 characters have the shortest gaps between their reveal and release by a considerable amount.

I think that's everything I'm allowed to openly talk about.

Don't forget the deleted amiibo tweet by Nintendo of America with a Fall 2021 release.

It’s interesting that they decided to start this “Monthly Rewind” series now of all times. What exactly would they recap for November aside from the Age of Calamity release? They’ve already confirmed that the October Partner will be the last one of the year.

 

[Mr. Peepee]

What if we get a Mario RPG direct which reveals a Mario RPG sequel, Geno in Smash, and the first Mario RPG on SNES online

Whatever's going on tomorrow, we'll have at least the announcement of the announcement today.

Yeah, it’s weird how in September they said there were more Partner Showcases coming later in the year, and then suddenly October is the last one. I have no idea what could have caused the possible last minute change for this.
...Then again, November is always busy for Nintendo when it comes to showcases, so who’s to say that they will be silent for this month? In addition, it’s always possible they could have said **** it and shoved the remaining content in a first party Direct, right?

That and it's only been one day so far this week. If we do get any Smash news, we may see it in the next few days. I'm not ruling out that possibility given the 2 for 2 record we've had for reveals occurring after Challenge Cup tournaments conclude

Oh boy...
I really don't want to start false hype...
But if Fatman has heard even more than just that HUGE evidence pile...
We could be in for an interesting week.

 

[AceAttorney9000]

Not sure if we'll be getting anything as early as this week, but I certainly won't complain if we do... and even if we don't, November still has three weeks plus two days change (unless the virus really screwed things up).

 

[YsDisciple]

So... this bit of news just popped up on Twitter.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

On another note, I started playing Mario Kart Tour last weekend and I gotta say... for a mobile game, Nintendo really hit the nail by making a Mario Kart game. Although I prefer console Mario Kart games, I'd sure love to have a racer roster as big as the one Tour has. Heck... they could even... add some more guests. Imagine a Mario Kart game with the following guest characters,

• Sonic
• Tails
• Knuckles
• Dr. Eggman
• Mega Man
• Roll
• Proto Man
• Dr. Wily
• PAC-MAN
• Mrs. PAC-MAN
• Geno
• Mallow
• Banjo & Kazooie

And from Nintendo owned franchises,

• Kirby
• Ness
• Captain Olimar

Dunno, would be fun.

EarthBound on SNES Online maybe? And maybe EarthBound Beginnings on NES Online? And Super Mario RPG too please.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Along with the Mother shop, Nintendo's also launching 35 days of Mario giveaways on November 16th.

Twitter

This is along with a Mario Tennis Aces tournament starting on November 14th and a Pokemon Sword and Shield tournament that starts on the 12th and runs through the 15th.

 

[pinshadow]

If anything this Monthy News Roundup thing makes me think we AREN'T getting a major Direct for the time being. What's the point of holding a news round-up if you announce everything in one place anyway?

 

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

At the very least it makes me hopeful that news will continue to come in at a steady pace.

 

[GenoDoge]

Hoping we get a Direct announced tomorrow. It would be epic.

 

[Enigma735]

Man I think I missed a lot. What was up with the 700-800 guests on this thread earlier?

 

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

This theory doesn't have anything to do with a specific character, but it might be useful for speculating whether or not Nintendo will be interested in adding more characters after Fighter Pass 2 due to high enough sales.

So, would looking at a character's GSP be a way to get a rough estimate of how many people have bought said character?

For example, my Classic Mode high score for Min Min is:

1,974,290 points at 9.9 difficulty, which gives me a GSP of 9,592,826.

If I'm not mistaken, then that would mean at least 9,592,826 people have bought Min Min, correct? When you factor in the people who have scored higher than me and the people who simply haven't played Min Min's Classic Mode route, then this number should be even higher.

What do you all think?

 

[GenoDoge]

Man I think I missed a lot. What was up with the 700-800 guests on this thread earlier?

The only good conclusion we reached is that it was a DDOS attack.
