I don't agree with the notion that Geno has no appeal, but bandwagoning is a very real psychological phenomenon, both the negative and the positive kind. Like, this is actually utilized in marketing to great effect. It's almost a form of tribalism. Things have gotten popular for no other reason than very vocal passionate people, with case studies of people looking back and not understanding why they cared in the first place.
But then you have to turn around and notice the missing Spirit/Tourney event
Call me crazy but I genuinely don’t think he’s likely. He’s really popular among hardcore smash/speculation fans, so of course over time he will look more and more likely especially when most people start with the conclusion that he’s getting in and work backwards to find evidence from there. I get that that’s half the fun of smash dlc, but when there’s that many people doing it every thread for one character it gets overbearing.
There could be other reasons for the missing event.
Name 1
If we still only get 2 unremixed tracks despite Yoko Shimomura literally working on both games then Square is really going to have to explain themselves.
We will get 2 straight rips and one of them will be Beware the Forest Mushrooms if we're lucky.
Well, that they want to do a special Mario 35th Anniversary Spirit Event but can't do it until after a supposed Direct where they announce the Super Mario 3D 3-Pack.
The only Paper Mario game that isn't an RPG is Super Paper Mario. The titles after that are really odd fusions of the RPG and Adventure genres with more emphasis on the former even though it tries its hardest to get you to not care about it.
Missed opportunity to put emphasis on the fact that not playing a character's game doesn't automatically make your wishes toward them invalid. Like, I've yet to get my hands on Ōkami but that doesn't mean I'm not a "true fan" of Amaterasu or whatever.
It could be if it's a Super Mario character that's being revealed. Would make sense if they wanted to go all out.
The only real reason was that at some point Riley's account was hacked by Doubtbot 3000.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the other times when a character was released? Not revealed?
But still, it would be a distraction. There's a reason why Smash characters were never revealed in other franchise-focused Directs.
Who said they won't be an after Direct drop?
You're correct.
If I'm being honest, with almost 100 characters, it's hard for a new character not to resemble a pre-existing one in some way, but I get your point. His moves can be similar to Mii Gunner and Mega Man, you're absolutely right no doubt about it. I just trust that Sakurai can take Geno's moves from SMRPG and make something unique from it, because he can do that. If he can turn Fox and Captain Falcon into unique characters, he can do it with just about anyone.
Well, when that character would function very similarly as a playable character vs a rendered deluxe Mii costume it kind of does feel like a waste.
If someone says they want Ammy, but then goes "ew, why would I play Okami, I don't like action adventure games!", then I have no problem calling them a fake fan. People can obviously do what they want and there are several pros that have never played the games of their mains or desired characters, but it's not a mindset I can personally wrap my head around. Fighting game characters are more than just a moveset.
I don't know, if we are talking patterns we would expect a Sakurai presents or something to show off the character instead of a shadowdrop on twitter.
Not sure I follow.
That would be a first.
Not really. If it was just the trailer it would fit in seamlessly, and the focus wouldn't be taken off Super Mario for very long (and technically wouldn't even fully be taken away since the character in question hails from the series) It would be especially effective if they did what they did for Isabelle and immaterially revealed a game this character appears in right after such as Mario Kart 9 for Waluigi, Super Mario RPG (port or remaster) for Geno, or something completely new for someone completely new.
Yeah. I don't expect a completely shadowdropped fighter reveal.
Why would they be shadow dropped on Twitter?
It's much better than Scorbunny's and it's your newest obsession of the week. Why would it be involved in an event spirit battle if they were planning to make it a fighter?
By this logic, every character in the first Fighters Pass, even Banjo, would be a "waste" because at least one person didn't want them. Everyone's entitled to their opinion and it's okay to not like certain characters, but that doesn't mean said characters are a "waste" if they get in.
Bless you for constantly finding the positives in this.
I thought you were suggesting the character was going to be released tomorrow, after the supposed Direct. To keep the pattern of the "no event" thing going. Wasn't that the entire point of nothing happening this week being a hint? Because when it happened before, characters were released that week?
Sir, he's doing a meme.
This "memeing" is in line with him being obsessed with petty reasons why the ARMS rep shouldn't have been Spring Man.
That's somewhat what I just said.
I guess what I meant was characters that don’t bring much new outside of fan service would be a waste to those who don’t want them. The first pass all brought something new along with them be it playstyle, the game they are from, etc..By this logic, every character in the first Fighters Pass, even Banjo, would be a "waste" because at least one person didn't want them. Everyone's entitled to their opinion and it's okay to not like certain characters, but that doesn't mean said characters are a "waste" if they get in.
Also, I guess it's a good thing that Heihachi and Isaac were given the Mii Fighter costume treatment, because everyone knows they totally would've played exactly like Mii Brawler and Swordfighter, just like how Geno will play exactly like Mii Gunner.
LLOYD HIJACK GO!Well, I can see people are starting to get annoyed at Geno talk...
So let's talk about Lloyd!
I made a poll about Lloyd. Please take some time to take it.
EDIT: Try this one instead. I fixed one problem.
Others have already pointed out that on weeks where we've gotten new characters that the events have come out after them.
This could be true for every other series.
