Don't diss Pepe, Shiny.

I was just dissing 4chan.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I almost wanna say Sora since that's another 'festival' series but there's just no ****ing way it's Sora man

Obviously we're getting a rep from Amiibo Festival.

It's just Isabelle again but in Amiibo form.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

So.. if this is straight up gonna be their "Sakurai Presents" like the US stream is titled, this character must be pretty simple all things considered, and their moveset may not need that much explaining

Okay yeah I'm thinking Geno now

 

[Will]

I was just dissing 4chan.

He's practically embroidered into it by now. the site isn't all terrible

 

[Shroob]

Well, if it is Geno, we'll never have Geno wars again


Even if you don't like Geno, that's a huge positive

 

[Will]

Well, if it is Geno, we'll never have Geno wars again

Yeah but I'm not prepared for this website to ****ing crash from the flood if it is.

Warchamp7 Y-You are prepared for this, right?

 

[3BitSaurus]

Really strange wording there... could either mean a fan-favorite character or, going by the "celebration of gaming" aspect, a character with little to no overlap with Nintendo consoles.

...or it means jack **** and we're reading too much into it again.

 

[Dyamanttine]

Its Geno or Sora, change my mind

 

[I.D.]

IMPROVED TRANSLATION:

We only have a Challenger Approaching trailer for you this time, but it's more exciting to watch it in real-time than finding out about the new fighter secondhand.
Join in the festivities and welcome a new character to Smash with us!

There yah go.

 

[Will]

It could not be.

That's all I got.

 

[Shroob]

If it's Geno: We'll never have Geno wars again

If it's Sora:.....Oh god the time between when the character is shown off and whenever they get revealed is gonna feel long if they don't show the Mii costumes

 

[Lamperouge]

Yo, this is exciting lol.

These next three hours are going to feel like an eternity...

 

[Will]

It's funny how everyone speculating Travis or Monster Hunter or whoever and the moment the reveal gets near all of a sudden everyone's switches flip to say "yo is it geno/sora time?" like they weren't just saying they didn't have much chance or when other characters were supposedly soft confirmed or line up.

Like damn bro, pick a side.

 

[Shroob]

"Stu, it's four 'o clock in the morning. Why on earth are you browsing Smashboards.com?"


"Because I've lost control of my life."

 

[Deleted member]

I will say it is a third party either way.

BTW, Jouji Nakata (voice actor of Kirei Kotomine from Fate series, Arcard from Hellsing, Wesker, Doomfist) retweeted the smash announcement for some reason.

 

[SKX31]

I'm going to go do some yardwork (I've not been prioritizing that.) partly to pass the time. Please alert me if anything big happens.

I will say it is a third party either way.

I find it likely that it's a third party, but could see a first party. 75 % / 25 % is my bet.

Oh, I totally forgot. He's the voice actor of Sol Badguy.

People can't like anything about Smash without people think their related character or series is gonna get in, huh?

 

[Dyamanttine]

I am not sure but in Sakurai's words, its like he is feeling very confident about this, anyways less than 3 hours.

 

[Deleted member]

Sol Badguy is in. Oh snap.

And Video Game wise, he's notably the voice of Sol Badguy from Guilty Gear, Kazuya Mishima from Tekken and Luxor from Kingdom Hearts II-

 

[Shroob]

WAIT HOL UP

Smash speculation entangles anybody Japan or West.

To be fair though, at this point haven't we had multiple different developers/creators/people involved with a game retweeting the smash announcement? (I'm pretty sure there was at least one other developer who retweeted this announcement)

They're not all getting their character in today, which means some of them are just retweeting it because they're fans of Smash Bros.

and if some of them are doing that there's a good chance all of them are doing that.

 

[PacificFun]

****, I'm gonna be delirious later. Thank God I have a day off.

 

[Shroob]

....So like, ArcSys already has Spirits in the game via the River City Ransom spirits, and now Sol Badguy's Japanese voice actor retweets?


Hmmst.

Grant Kirkhope made a lot of hints, such as making retweets, and look who got in.

Hmmst.

Shroob you're the last person I'd expect to lose to brainless hype, don't fall for it.

Yeah I was about to say. People involved with game development can be excited about Smash news without their character getting in. I don't think this means anything.

 

[Shroob]

Shroob you're the last person I'd expect to lose to brainless hype, don't fall for it.

Mate

It's 4am and the only reason I'm even alive right now is because I've injected soo much caffeine into myself to force myself to stay awake.



I'm too ****in' far gone by this point

 

[Nekoo]

Shroob you're the last person I'd expect to lose to brainless hype, don't fall for it.

To be fair, after 6 months since "lol next character is arms, stfu and enjoy", I'd fall into any type of brainless hype when the reveal is barely hours away

 

[edumolon11]

Hmmst.

Maybe... But then, three of the four latest fighters come from a fighting game its a big meh for me

 

[Deleted member]

I am very confident it will be Sol Badguy now.

Remember Banjo?
