No...let the hype flow through you!

In all seriousness, lets keep ourselves in check, but now we might have to watch the VGA's lol
My gosh, I can't wait. And if there is an announcement for Smash, and if Vergeben is legit, and Luigi on the Gameboy is legit, and PolarPanda PolarPanda 's rumor about Geno being DLC is legit, and if Jon's (GX) prediction about Geno being the first DLC is legit......this could finally be our time. There is no better way to end off the year than with Geno being announced alongside (hopefully) a Super Mario RPG remake or sequel. I CAN'T WAIT

From the General Thread. Probably means nothing...but maybe?
I mean, the last Smash direct didn't do too much to fuel hype for the game, what with the Grinch Leak setting people's expectations so incredibly high...So it'd make a lot of sense to give people DLC info at the game awards to mitigate some of that. Even if it's just a T-pose, or a name. Nintendo's gonna run out of time to build even more hype for the holiday season if they don't do something soon.

EDIT: Also, it'd be really awful of Reggie to tease something he KNOWS people are wanting/expecting if they don't plan on following through. (not that this hasn't happened in the past...)

They know that's the only reason anyone watches...that's why they hype up the 10+ announcements bit.

Gosh, I wish we had a reputable awards show for games already...

>Crunchii posted a new remix of Continue from FFVII that's most likely fan-made
Okay, at this point, he's clearly spiting SE.

People already assume something will happen then, but it's good to see something close to a confirmation, even if they're playing around. I was going to watch the VGA regardless, so we'll see what happens.

Never forget, Splatoon won best shooter one year.

I thought Nintendo nuked Crunchii into oblivion

Is there more to this Luigi on the Gameboy than that screenshot or is there anything with any actual credibility?

It wouldn't surprise me too much if less common choices like Tails and Poochy are brought up.



It would make sense, RPG remakes and ports are a bit commonplace at the moment, capitalising on it this way would be smart.



I wonder how Earthworm Alvin does these days. I remember that he cracked under the pressure at one point...
IF WE GOT TAILS I'D BLOW UP WITH HAPPINESS.


Anyways, back to Geno of course. XD
anything new?

Well he found a Pick Me Up and he's back, though in a weird form that spits out remixes of things like Head Bop Hop and a Robocop song.
Are you sure that's not a faker?

If you search "Crunchii" on youtube, you'll get like 20 channels faking being crunchii

Ahhh Old Joseph. A man of culture I see.

Agreed, cautiously optimistic.
No good sir, I am not a man of culture, just an accidental fraud. I have never watched the show, but love this Gif to death.

I should probably get around to watching it at some point.

Sephiroth is an all-time top villain with games that are to be launched that still feature him, while Geno has the potential of being revived anytime, specially with a Smash appearance.
i definitely agree with sephiroth being important, but him having the financial benefits or even smash fanbase appeal of geno feels off to me. geno is a character with a very devoted smash fanbase and acknowledgement from sakurai himself, while sephiroth isnt too popular of a smash choice from what ive seen. i feel like geno would make more money than sephiroth would for square (especially with amiibo)

Oh, cut off one head and several more grow. No way to tell which one's real until the game comes out. Until then they'll all continue to pull SilvaGunner shenanigans.
siivagunner is at least funny because going into it the jokes are either funny or sound good and you know its siivagunner. these crunchii clones just post obnoxious "remixes" and pretend to be the real deal

Oh, and I forgot to post an appropriate reaction to the Reggie tweet, allow me.


very. dont do drugs kids
Still less drugs than whoever's making those Undertale and Robocop remixes.

As a FF fan of the classic era, this would be an absolute disease. The good thing is we have Cloud listed as an FFVII character, not a FF character.
Even more insulting to me, since FFIV painted so much of the franchise's presence on Nintendo hardware, and it'd be treated worse than Wario Land.

While I did just use those name as random, to be honest, I do wonder after reading some comments, that... What are the odds that every name is a red herring and square get's a rep but no one on the list? I mean, all of the characters that are on the list, are more than likely what most comes to think of when they think potential square rep. This is a perfect red herring list if this would be the cause

the thing is, the only square characters with even semi-vocal fanbases are geno and sora. itd be a huge disservice to their fans if they were just leakbait for some nobody that no one asked for

Are we expecting anything at the VGAs now? I still think it'll be something regarding Metroid Prime 4 or Bayonetta 3, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Besides Geno, I would also very much appreciate Tails making it for DLC. Sonic's been with the franchise for 10 years now, it would have been great if he had been able to bring his buddy along for the ride this time around; plus that EGM hoax needs to become a reality. I'd be surprised though if he did make it despite also being a highly recognizable character in gaming.

I'm a bit late to this discussion but about favorite memories related to Smash Bros: I got the very first one boxed on my birthday in 1999. The two times I remember seeing it before were at a Toys R Us when they had those old gaming panels where you could push a button that resembled the box art and a TV screen would play a trailer for that game, and I saw Smash Bros. playing on the screen and couldn't believe there was a game with all these famous Nintendo characters fighting each other - it totally blew me away. I'd also seen that hilarious commercial at some point and got a kick out of that, so I must have told someone that was exactly what I wanted that year for my birthday. When we finished our party at the community pool I got home with Smash Bros. and played it that night with Samus Aran and beat the game. It was nice just sitting in the living room at night with the lights off and no one else around while I got to play around and see for the first time what this Smash game had going on. I was a little confused by Master Hand but I understood it must represent the player's hands or something and how they control the characters.

Sometime in 2001 I remember cruising through a Walmart when I got my first ever glimpse at Super Smash Bros. Melee being played by four kids battling it out on Mute City, and I remember one of the players was playing as Sheik. Once again I was blown away at just how much bigger and better Smash Bros. could be with all the new stages and characters and I immediately knew I had to get this game. Finally on Christmas day 2002, my dad got me a Nintendo GameCube along with Super Smash Bros. Melee, Metroid Prime and Star Fox Adventures. The funny thing is when I fired up the GameCube and played Melee for the first time I just happened to go through the end goal of stage 1 in Adventure mode to trigger Luigi's appearance, though I didn't unlock him for whatever reason, and I wondered, "Why did I see that scene with Luigi only once?" I later looked it up online and found out about passing the goal with a 2 digit at the end of the timer.

Yet another Melee memory many years later - I'm thinking sometime around late May of 2007/2008 towards the end of one of my years in high school, someone had brought their Nintendo Wii to school so they could set it up to play Super Smash Bros. Melee in class when everyone had finished testing and there was nothing else to do. We did rotations in the chairs with people who lost getting replaced by other people who were waiting for their turn. I remember this one guy who was ridiculously good with Sheik and he pretty much kept on playing. Later on the teacher left the school and we had to migrate to an even bigger classroom, and thus began a tournament mode for the whole class. I was surprised that I managed to get 3rd place in the class with Fox McCloud, although I was almost 2nd place when I very nearly defeated someone playing as Marth but they turned the tables in the last minutes. When we finished up it was finally time for all of us to pack up and head home for the Summer. I always though that was such a cool sendoff for Summer vacation.

I'm sure there's plenty more memories I could share here but I don't want to bog this thread down too badly; however, I still have lots of online recordings of Brawl in 2008 as well as some old replay content me and a friend of mine did just for fun. We had some really silly stuff like this happen online, and I always particularly liked a Star Fox-themed match a friend and I had as Fox and Falco:

I mean, Reggie said that in context to the discussion of Smash being released literally the next day, so...

The three oddest picks that fit that are Cactuar, Moogle and Chocobo. And that could be because SE would want a slice of the PP pie.

Some people use them to MALLOW out.

Well i tried.

What did I Mi- Oh **** It’s happening boys! It’s Happening! Nah but for reals if it happens that would so make the video game awards worth watching and I’d totally Be Jumping with Joy! Though we gotta be cautiously optimistic..Let’s just wait till the VGA’s until we jump to conclusions. Don’t want another Grinch Leak on our hands.

I wouldn't go that far, it'd be more of a case of yet another episode of "The Smash Fanbase Reads Too Much Into Everything".

If Bill Trinen was there and brought up the fat NES Hockey guy again, at least one person would believe him.

This would make sense if Geno is revealed, considering that he may have been planned for the base roster, and he would be revealed before the game comes out.....I'm sooooo hyped lol

I will say, that would be the perfect place to announce a revival game to go in conjuncture to a new character like Geno or Crono. Don't get your hopes up though.
