Well it's nice that TGA is the focus right now instead of what's going on in the leaker sphere. That story arc got too convoluted.

Funny enough, the Game Awards start as soon as I get out of my final exam. I guess Christmas is starting early this year, and jolly saint Nick is bringing me Dewritos to celebrate.

Consider this. You're too tired to watch the Game Awards the day of, you so decide to go back to sleep.

You wake up. Suddenly, everybody seems to be united against something that was added to Smash. "no ****ing way" this, "Smash just jumped the shark" that, "leakers btfo" too. Nobody can believe it.

Who do you think got in, before immediately checking?
Easy, Fortnite Jonesy.

I wish they announce a remake of Kirby 64 with improved gameplay and extra content (story, levels, playable characters and extra stuff)...

They remade all the classic games (counting Spring Breeze as a Dream Land 1 remake) except for the Dark Matter trilogy, it's time to remake one of those as well, they're classics too; especially Kirby 64 that can get rid of the hardware limitation of the N64 and be improved in both gameplay and visuals.

I say this at each big event or before every direct, but so far it didn't happen yet.
Though, I wanted a remake of Majora's Mask too and some years ago it arrived on 3DS (even though it wasn't much different than the original), so I'm sure that something similar can happen with Kirby 64 as well sooner or later.

Okay I'm dropping out.

I don't want to get spoiled by Shinobi again lol
He doesn't leak constantly. I don't think he will say anything. Closest thing he does to leak is hinting things, and when he does that it's in a vague way like happened with Banjo.

Fun fact: he's a great fan of Golden Sun and occasionally says he would like to see a new game. That said, Golden Sun 4 at TGA confirmed.

Fighter #5 is Banjo Tooie... or more sensibly, Yooka Laylee!

While not guaranteed, everything lines up for a probable Smash reveal. We’ve got two months until the official “deadline” of the Fighter’s Pass, It’s been just over a month since we got information on a fighter, roughly 3 months since we had a new fighter revealed.

While I wouldn’t call it “a lock”, I’d say there’s a good chance of it happening. Just hype responsibly.

Honestly, can the leakers not say anything for once? We’re already so close to the reveal. Maybe at best hint that something will happen.

You mean that Nuts and Bolts B-K will be FP5?

Sign me up! FP5 Kazooie has a magic wrench instead of FP3's Wonderwing. For starters.

Yeah - for all we know, the Smash reveal could be in January (although that looks unlikely). (Edited to clarify).

I'm just feeling much more confident in VGA now when both the Chinese presentation and any Nintendo Direct beforehand have been completely ruled out.

I'm way, waaaay out of the loop. What exactly went down in the leaker sphere, again?
According to my research, they don't know jack s*** yet or they're playing nice. Either way, you didn't miss anything tbqh.

Leaker beef. Certain people getting exposed for apparently throwing people under the bus with little regard for their jobs. Turns out that """leakers""" who word everything they say in such a way where they can say they're right regardless of what happens, might not be the most reliable people.

My immediate guess would probably be Goku.

probably brought up already, but:

In that GameXplain video with the “weird sound byte and visual effect,” they were talking about Dark Souls from Bandai Namco before Shantae was brought up for a bit, then they cue the visual effect + record scratch sound while Derek is saying “but rather than Dark Souls” then bringing up KOS-MOS. There’s nothing fishy about it; it was just a joke about how he’s going against their Dark Souls talk, interrupting whom they settled on to be the choice from Bamco with KOS-MOS possibly coming instead/being a good choice as well.

Also, I see Newman is posting again.

Either James Bond (or TOP SECRET), an obscure Sony rep, or

Prob an Echo Fighter since it was explicity stated there wouldn't be Echo Fighters in the FP. And it would def be a rip-off to those that bought the FP.

Can't wait to see TimeSplitters at the game awards and Sgt. Cortez as Fighter #5.

Honestly? Rex, or an AT (particularly Spring Man since he can also be considered “too late” for the project plan).

everyone was expecting Rex to NOT be in the pass cause it opened with his Mii Costume (and the apology to boot). Logically he wouldn’t be in the same pass as his costume likeness, so that would defy the established logic. As for Spring Man that’s self explanatory. (Also the salt that he was the first AT promoted instead of like Waluigi, Isaac, Lyn or Ashley)

But seriously, I don't think there's any one character the community can collectively not like. There's always going to be someone who likes a certain thing and someone who doesn't like that thing.

i.e. Sakurai could deadass add a shoe to the roster and #ShoeGang would be trending 5 minutes tops.

I dunno, it’s probably my natural pessimism kicking in, but I’m just not feeling a fighter reveal at TGA. Joker made sense last year since the game had literally just released and it would help sell copies, but would they want to push a $6.00 DLC on the big stage over a new title? Sure it would create buzz, but does Smash really need that nowadays?

Either way, I’ll tune in, and hope I’m wrong.

It doesn't matter if a character is as big as Master Chief or Sora or "Small" like Reimu or Saber: If they get in Smash, they will get a reaction off people and people will cheer because it's a Smash reveal and others will be angry.

It's inevitable that's what will happen. No matter who gets in will have their fair share of supporters and detractors.
