I'm not going to give names because I don't think I'm in the position to, but I can assure you some of the most reputable people have been telling me outright that Geno is leakbait. I personally still have faith in him, but I think it's noteworthy. I'm not going to say who it is, but I'll just say if they posted it publically, it'd be a big deal...

There's a good reason Psycho wants to lower expectations a bit.
My expectations are in check, but I'm still calling BS on Geno of all things being leakbait. When DQ had so many names out there, it to me comes across as the exact opposite of Geno being leakbait. It's entirely possible they have good intentions, but they were duped.

The stars are aligning for Geno my goodness. HQ a random trivia game mentioning Geno by name when talking about Mario and mentioning Smash Ultimate at the beginning. Why would they do that? Possibly to familiarize people with who he is and then announce him for smash?
WAIT, WHAT?! Where'd you hear this, Kaptain?!

"lets just use our most requested character as leakbait so we can release a character 2 people asked for" isnt really something i can imagine anyone with more than 2 braincells doing

Same. Especially if he is a far lesser known name than the other Square Enix characters

Okay I'm back.

If Geno turns out to be leakbait with the massive fanbase he has and the current evidence towards him is all bull...

People are gonna be a tiny bit more than mad.

Does Nintendo just never win any awards? Unless I missed something, I don't think they won anything yet.

Seriously though, the only person who would know what the DLC actually is would be a higher-up, if any lower employee is calling Geno leakbait but considering everything else then that's just bias.

Now, if they're actually hiding info but saying this to "temper expectations" (this is gettin' annoying kinda) because they saw the trailer or something, then okay.

Man, every time I hear that Switch snap on my other tab that's viewing the VGA, I get a mini heart attack.

To them I say f*** their leakbait. My expectations are about as low as they can get. This is just downright depressing.

So if this person said something, it would be worrying?

So Vergeben, then.
If Vergeben says anything, it will contradict his statement about him saying that if he mentions a SE character, people will get fired. I don't think he will

It's been nothing but red dead redemption and God of war, same old same old. There have been 3rd party announcements, but I don't think they've won anything yet either.

Bit sad that Connor from Detroit Become Human lost. Always thought he was the strongest character in that game. Oh well.

That must be so awkward for Reggie lmao. I wonder if there's some Sony and Microsoft bias because in the larger gaming community as a whole Nintendo is either seen as a joke or just ends up getting the short end of the stick. We all know that Smash is one of the most popular games coming out this year yet they've barely mentioned it so far.

Moreover, why would something everyone and their mother has been predicting, (and I mean you can judge a fake leak's believability by virtue of his disinclusion) be a name square uses as leakbait. it doesn't make sense. It's such an oversaturated prediction, how could you hope to catch whoever leaked it?

That's usually how gaming events play out in general. Microsoft, Sony, and a bunch of other lesser known companies release a whole butt-ton of games, then at some point in the event, Nintendo gets a sort of exclusive part of whatever presentation it is, showing off all their stuff, then it's done.

Possibly because Smash Ultimate hasn't been released yet. I'd be very surprised if Ultimate didn't win anything.

I'm already disgusted about IGN giving it a 9.4/10 and not like a 9.8 or higher... absolutely disgusted about that. Sakurai and his team did everything to make this game, they should at least be getting multiple awards.

Nintendo never wins any awards because their games are actually good instead of just being whatever people will buy.
