I wouldn't mind seeing Heihachi get in at all. I just hope if he does get in that he comes with young and old variants. Also, maybe an Orge Mii Costume with his theme from Street Fighter X Tekken. Never played Tekken, but goddamn that theme is fire.
I don't really care, ma'am.
When you said you knew people who were 3D modelers, my first thought was professional 3D graphic designers who have their own publicly available portfolio. That's why I was suggesting you present names and ****. I had no idea that you were talking about your discord buddies. But either way, I don't really care. I'm not going to believe someone when they say "lol my friends are experts on this subject and they agree with me so you're wrong!!1".
If someone went to all the trouble of modding those costumes in to begin with, it's possible for someone to replicate them. I don't know why you seem to think it's impossible when we have two videos and a very clear image to work with.
The debug timer could've been modified from when we saw it in the Ken Leak. I mean, small changes like that happen all the time in game development. For example, Ridley and Pichu's HUD icons were originally cropped in earlier versions of the game. And I don't think that there only being these two costumes and nothing else is really a strike against it. Because the person who originially shared this was an anon on 4chan, we don't have any way to say anything definitive about that one way or the other. Maybe it was faked, and those were the only stages/characters they could choose from, or maybe it's real, and those choices mean literally nothing. You're free to feel that that makes it less likely in your subjective opinion, but unless you have something more solid to point to, then you're not going to be able to prove anything to anyone.
There are two types of people.
- People who are open-minded and willing to entertain and argue the validity of potential leaks that look arguably real.
- People who want to quickly dismiss every potential leak that comes up because the answers aren't coming fast enough.
I miss the days when speculation was about analysis and arguing the points within reason rather than just dismissing everything out of hand that isn't immediately proven correct. I swear, this generation of Smash fans wouldn't be able to stand anything close to what we had to deal with during the Brawl days, where a new character would potentially be revealed once every 6-8 months. Everyone needs that instant gratification, that quick dopamine hit, or else they'll get all antsy and start screeching like a battered monkey in a jug full of pissed-off hornets.
I don't think that it not being disproven for so long inherently means it's real by any means, given that development of a character from conception to release typically takes upwards of a year. Just recently, it was confirmed by some folks at Rare that talks for Banjo & Kazooie in Smash began around E3 2018. Compared to that, the CacoMallow Post was basically made last Thursday.
I wouldn't say it's accurate to characterize the Geno thread as entirely Geno and nothing else, since we've been warned by mods several times to keep discussion on topic. And I can see why people have problems with rotund gentleman in cold waters and believe that everyone there is a bootlicker, though I think that's a bit of a mischaracterization. Liking someone's theories doesn't mean you believe them to be infallible, and perhaps this is just me, but I don't really see many people saying that they do completely take his words as gospel.
No worries man, we cool. I totally understand having issues with the thread, hell I even have some issues with it myself. If you'd like we could discuss this through DMs.
Man, I'd kill to have his dev tools, just so I could do cool **** like this.
Just kidding, I'm an unimaginative doofus.
