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

[CannonStreak]

I know it wouldn't make a lot of sense but I think it'd be cool if WFT got alt costumes of the male/female RFT(rainer). Like a patch that added another 2+ costumes to some characters and you could add some other alt costumes, like Yoshi getting his Black Yoshi alt back, or maybe getting Boshi in as one?

Also HUGE rip if we're waiting til the 26th, ugggggh. I'm getting so sick of this. Remember when it was Feb 12th that was likely? Now we're looking at Mar 26th, ffs -_________-

I know. Insiders can't seem to make up their dang minds, can they?

Ring Fit's out of the running, looks like we likely won't get more promo 1st party picks.

Thank god.
This, seriously helps, our special little Wah.

Unsuprising. Can I just say, I'm beyond sick and tired of everybody seeing a new IP from Nintendo and immediately thinking they're getting into Smash as a fighter. I swear, the people pushing for these new characters haven't even played their games, yet they think they're shoe-ins for Smash. It's like a bad running joke at this point.

No, it really doesn't. It only just deconfirms Ring Fit Adventure as our possible first party rep along with Sword and Shield. We still have other titles that may not be announced yet to consider.

If they intended to make them a DLC fighter, they wouldn't have done a Spirit Event to begin with. Hate to be the "fan rules" guy here, but I think at this pont if a character and/or or their game gets a Spirit Event, they aren't getting in as DLC.

Here's hoping.

Never mind.

Agreed, at this point people are just grasping on their own wishful thinking for a scenario where their most-wanted gets "promoted" into a playable status.

 

[TooManyToastahs]

Came out of lurking so I could report a certain someone’s message. Oh, uh, hello everyone! I was absent during SMRPG’s anniversary and most of MAR10 day, so here’s a belated birthday to Geno, Mallow, and the rest of the SMRPG gang!

But I have been keeping up with speculation thankfully, no need to backtrack a bunch of pages tonight. Direct at the end of the month? Neat, though these next two weeks are gonna be an agonizing wait to see if they were right or not

Oh yeah, and I donated to that charity thing Operation Starfall is hosting! Here’s hoping we raise like, a bajillion dollars so all these hospitalized kids can have their wishes come true!

Okay cool Mr. Toasters round up is over, now to... Go back to playing Animal Crossing. I hope New Horizons gives us more characters for our Island name so I can finally name my town “Star Hill”

Definitely this. I still think anything in *BASE* game has a chance (even Assist Trophies!) but anything pushed during FP1, and even moreso post-Byleth, is very unlikely.

 

[MattX20]

Like Geno, there is another spirit that could be upgraded from the base game that is first party, and one that has a loyal fan following: Bandanna Waddle Dee.

 

[Icewolff92]

There is always Sylux who is gonna have a big part in MP4. Breath of the Wild 2 character, potential Bayonetta 3 character... Not to mention any potential game that has yet to be announced. Just because Ring Fit most likely is out of the running does not mean that we won¨t get a promo pick.

 

[MarioTime]

I really want Magolor but if Kirby is gonna get another rep it's gonna be Bandana Dee. He cool tho, we don't have spear characters in Smash

I think you might be misunderstanding what I said. For clarification's sake, I'm not saying that I think Spirits can't/won't be upgraded whatsoever. However, if a character was recently announced as a Spirit Event, then they're not getting in after the fact. To add that character/game as a Spirit Event means they had no plans for them as DLC. Base game is a different story, however, since they would've been done well before DLC was finalized, and given how many characters are Spirits in Ultimate at base, I think it'd be weird for them to limit their DLC selections because they already put them in as a PNG about 2 years ago.

 

[AdamBel731]

Uh-oh, it is looking E3 is gonna be cancelled. Let's hope Nintendo will have some sort of presentation still.

 

[Dukefire]

Blame the Coronavirus. Health and safety first before others.

 

[CannonStreak]

Uh-oh, it is looking E3 is gonna be cancelled. Let's hope Nintendo will have some sort of presentation still.

-Some snips-

Darn that corona virus! Why did people have to spread it anyway? But shouldn't they wait until they get a bit closer to E3 before cancelling?

Oh well though, E3 was said to be dying anyway.

if they wait till e3 it would probably be too late at that point

 

[MattX20]

Pretty sure Nintendo has the Direct still be recorded anyway even without E3

 

[CannonStreak]

I didn't say AT E3. I meant a bit closer to it.

 

[MamaLuigi123456]

This has to be the final nail in the coffin right

There's no way E3 is just gonna come back in 2021 when big names have dropped and they need to cancel this year's event.

 

[zferolie]

RIP E3 for sure.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I didn't say AT E3. I meant a bit closer to it.

Oh my bad but what I said still stands, if they wait, it would probably be to late. Also where is E3 being held at this year. Where its being held could also affect things

 

[CannonStreak]

They didn't have to wait too long. I would say by next month would be a good time to decide.

 

[SpiritOfRuin]

They didn't have to wait too long. I would say by next month would be a good time to decide.

I imagine that the venue and people who were supposed to be working at E3 would like to know as far in advance as possible whether or not it is happening. Not to mention people who took off work and were planning to go and stuff like that. This will affect hotels, the venue, event goers, employees at and around E3, etc. So the sooner the better.

Whatever you say. I still don't think April would be a bad month, though. Still, this Corona virus is affecting a lot of things. Next thing you know, the tournament event known as EVO will be cancelled, too.

Well shoot...

https://nintendosoup.com/rumor-e3-2020-possibly-cancelled-announcement-to-be-released-soon/


I just saw it myself...


It’s a darn shame.

I’m sure Nintendo’s ready in case.

I’ve always loved the event and it will always hold a place in my heart.

The health and well being of others in this case comes above everything.

So they made the right call if true.

My best to those people and I hope all will be well!

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

well, I guess we will wait for that offical statement if it is indeed canceled

 

[QQS]

If E3 get cancelled, I think it would be totally plausible if they decide to do a double reveal of Smash characters (#76 and #77) in the next Nintendo Direct. Then no more character reveals until December 2020/January 2021.

I bet for:

#76: Zarude, Rillaboom or Waluigi.
#77: Geno

I hope everything goes better with the virus and that we get a Nintendo Direct confirmation soon.

Geno is so close, I see him joining the party!

 

[Polarthief]

It's being cancelled it seems, and yes, I agree.

Then no more character reveals until December 2020/January 2021.

... yeah definitely don't agree with that hot take though.

 

[RageCage271]

Hope everyone's had a good Mar10 Day :D

 

[Deleted member]

Well I’m back short break but good to be here again.

Anyway here’s to what’s to come!

I don’t think we have anything to worry about regardless of all this I still think Nintendo has got plans in place.

The Direct Fighters pass 2, all of it will release as they have planned it too so I don’t think we have anything to worry about there.

 

[Polarthief]

all of it will release as they have planned it too

The direct-esque Byleth reveal says otherwise though...

 

[zferolie]

Nintendo and other companies will still have presentations eithout E3. they will just be all online and streaming. the safest and easiest thing to do.

While this is great and helps keep people healthy, I feel really bad for all the people losing lots of money and jobs over this. Not the big name companies, but the food stalls, ubers and taxis, and smaller game devs. First GDC now this, this is DEVESTATING to LOTS of small developers.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Ring Fit is finally getting spirits after 6 months, eh? Seems to me that this only leaves a certain 6 million + plus selling Nintendo game from last year, doesn't it?

Thank God. Hot take, but Ring Fit Adventurer would be a horrible DLC.

 

[Polarthief]

You mean a perfectly reasonable and correct take? That would be Byleth-level bad, probably worse TBH.

 

[Cahalan]

Luigi's Mansion 3?

Honestly, if it ain't King Boo then keep an eye out for Halloween for their spirits to finally drop.

 

[PatPrime]

So I came back from work to a whole lot of stuff, huh? Indie World next week and General Direct in two weeks is fine by me. E3 getting most likely cancelled is sad but understandable. I wonder if each company will have some sort of livestream or just release their news on Youtube and social media.

Oh yeah, Smash is a thing. Geno would be nice. Crash, Rayman, Waluigi, and Doomguy are cool, too.
