A lot of them still support the Cacomallow costumes (happened 4 months ago), the Mii costume list (happened in July), and the music take-downs (happened in May). All of these things have several points against them by this point (although I guess it could still be true).
I can only really speak for myself and my own experiences with this, but the only criticisms people ever give for any of these rumors are "Well, it
could be fake, though." and "It's been X amount of time and it hasn't been proven 100% real, so it's fake.". When these are the only counter arguments people provide to this ****, and all the evidence in favor of them being real is so much stronger, I really don't blame people for thinking they may most likely be real.
When you call them out on some of their outlandish theories. They always say the same thing too, "Geno fans are always the butt of the joke in the Smash fanbase".
That's not even true. Again, speaking from my experience, whenever someone provides a counter to things that I've said, I always make sure to counter their counters with my own arguments. I'll admit, plenty of people in that thread are way too sensitive to criticism, even saying that very same phrase at points, but I've never seen someone resort to that line of reasoning just for having their theories disagreed with. I get the feeling that you're misremembering things.
But since we're on the topic of Genobros having a persecution complex, I honestly don't think it's inaccurate for them to think that given, whenever they bring up Geno or any rumors or arguments that lean in his favor, you have several people willing to constantly **** on them for it with the same tired arguments that Banjobros and Ridleybros has to deal with. You don't see this **** happen to other support groups, you don't see people saying **** like "UGH, I'm so
sick of people talking about Sora! Why do these people think that Sora even has a chance?", or "Wow, these people actually buy into those stupid rumors and theories about Dante coming to Smash? How delusional do you have to be to think he has a chance?", or "Given that we already have a Microsoft costume in the game, it's likely Master Chief will just be an Upgraded Mii Costume like Cuphead was."
Comments like this seem to be exclusive to Geno and his supporters, and I really don't get it. What did Genobros do to piss you guys off this much? Is there actually a solid reason, or is it just the same issue people had with Banjobros, that which being you're sick of hearing about him all the time when you don't think he has a chance or simply don't care?
The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when I (along with others) disagreed with F**m*n's terrible theory of "Sora being ineligible for Smash because he lacks Nintendo relevance, therefore Geno is more likely because Sora is Geno's primary competitor". Some people complained because I was criticizing a theory that supports Geno. It was then I realized that it's probably better to leave them to themselves.
Most of the time, when the thread is talking about SMRPG/Geno or Smash in general, it's fine and I enjoy it. But when the conversations shifts to Geno in Smash/theorycrafting; it becomes a huge circlejerk about the same talking points over and over again.
So wait... you're telling me that you left the thread because you felt that it's a circlejerk about the same dumb ****, but then decide to frequent another thread that is itself a circlejerk about the same dumb ****? I mean, that's fine I guess, no reason to stick around if you don't like it, but I can't help but find that a bit... hyopcritical? I dunno.
Bro people who actually know how modeling works have proven that it's biggest defence doesn't actually exist, "It'd be cool if true" is the only reason it's still gotten any attention and people who don't know anything about how making a model works just refuse to believe it
Recreating it gives reason to doubt the mod since it can, you know, be modded in.
In case you didn't check the RTC thread, there are people still very much pushing Cacomallow when there's a lot going against it right now.
Then why hasn't it been replicated? If it's so easy to do, why hasn't someone made an accurate recreation of it? The main argument people use against it is that "Well, modding is a thing. People could easily fake it.", but nobody has been able to point me to anything that looks as good as what's seen in those videos and in the image. That's why I'm not willing to dismiss it.
And here I thought the interview which puts the nail on Doom Slayer's coffin would put that rumor to rest.
It doesn't mean we couldn't see any DOOM content in Smash whatsoever, it just means that Doomguy is probably not getting in as a fighter.
