Honestly, by the time I even heard of Loz, his credibility was under fire.

 

[monadoboy]

Ngl though, it'd be super cool if they chose from the popular, unique, non-lord characters. I just don't see it ever happening.

If we ever got a mage I really hope it's Micaiah, since Radiant Dawn was basically:

There's also the "Super Smash Bros. x Super Mario RPG" screen that showed up at the end of that gameplay clip, so he definitely got special treatment.

Didn't Tekken with Heihachi and like...Virtua Fighter got that screen too?
I might be confusing or not remembering well

 

[LoboRundas]

Onett is on today's post. Mother fans are probably used to being disappointed by now.

Onett was yesterday's post along with the music, we don't have the new one yet.

I'm hoping, if another SE rep. get's in, Geno ends up getting revealed alongside them somehow (if he isn't the sole SE rep), or ends up as DLC.

I have yet to play SMRPG, but I still consider him among my most wanted (the others being Banjo-Kazooie and, well, Skull Kid, of course), so I'd be disappointed to see him not make the roster yet again, despite how Sakurai seems to want him. Someone pointed out in the Geno thread that they had to license Beware the Forest Mushrooms, but just for his 10-second Mii Costume clip? There's also the "Super Smash Bros. x Super Mario RPG" screen that showed up at the end of that gameplay clip, so he definitely got special treatment.

I also like Minecraft Steve and would personally enjoy an Undertale rep. but they're low-priority, and Steve may end up being weird. Also Porky Minch and Ninten would be cool.

See this is why Geno not being in just won't click for me.

They went through all that effort for a simple Mii Costume, indicating it was damn easy to get a hold of the guy, the music, all that.
...so why not the character?

Onett was yesterday's post, it came alongside the AC song.

Today's post is Ganondorf.

While in this social context I might come across as a Negative Nancy (or at least a Somber Sammy), allow me to indulge in what could be possible for a moment.

Last Direct in late Oct or first week of Nov, Incineroar looks fun, oh hey it's Ken, new mode and a few other details blow everyone away. It concludes:



Let's recap:

• 76 playable fighters
• 103 stages
• 52 assist trophies
• 48 Pokemon
• 83 additional items
• 820 stage music tracks
• Home Run Contest and Classic Mode
• Squad Strike & Smashdown
• ... and [the exciting new mode]

There has never been a game quite like this. We have worked hard to make sure this Super Smash Bros. game really is "Ultimate."

However, we are going to keep working hard after the game's release on December 7. Before we go, I'd like to share a sneak peak of what's to come.

[video]

That's right--more echo fighters will be joining the battle.

[3-pane calendar]

• Dixie Kong is an echo fighter of Diddy Kong, and will be joining the battle in January.
• The Octolings are joining as the Inkling's echo fighter in February...
• And in March, you'll get to play as Sonic's echo fighter, Shadow the Hedgehog.

We're happy to announce that all three of these echo fighters will be provided to subscribers of Nintendo Switch Online as a free bonus.

And now, we have one final announcement. We will also start work on an all-new character, who will mark the 80th fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. I hope you look forward to this as you enjoy the game:

[character cinematic]

This would be such a cool way of doing a final pre-launch announcement and I think it would even satisfy people who would be upset over having 2 more characters in the base game. I can almost see it happening next month. And I can't imagine the amount of people that will get a NSO membership for Shadow. Heck, this would probably be what gets me to buy one.

(but it makes too much sense for Nintendo to do imo)

"EVERYONE IS HAPPY!"

We didn't get Sonic yet, right? Just gonna wait for my main...

I think Geno will be given the Mario series icon, as his Mii Costume got that in Smash 4.

Did it? When? Looking at the splash screen that people seem to bring up a lot, the background shows the Smash 4 version of the Smash Ball.

[CommanderZaktan]

Today in Japan is TGS on the morning, and Nintendo is in the business days; 20th and 21st.

Idk, I just went off the DLC page on Smash Wiki where they gave him the Mario icon.

Yeah, that's just a SmashWiki thing. The trailer and the website don't show him (or any costume) with a symbol.

IMO Geno should have the Mushroom icon though sense he is technically a Mario character.

We did like a month ago.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Y'know, I really like how Saria's Song is the most emphasized part of the Ocarina of Time Medley.

Just noticed this again after watching Ganondorf's trailer again.

 

[Iridium]

If I paid more attention to the blogs, then I would have noticed. Well, forget what I said about that.

Did you take a bet or something?

 

[Iridium]

Did you take a bet or something?

About what specifically? Something wrong?

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

And that’s another one for the blog theory aka the mathematical theory

 

[RandomAce]

Imagine Nintendo just randomly drops out a smash trailer that was shown behind closed doors, this place would basically become crashboards...

Is that what basically happened to Pac-Man?

 

[ReeseBalaski]

Hello, I'm back.

Hm. Could anything Smash related be at TGS?

 

[Exalt4747]

Very doubtful, sadly.

I swear I heard you talk about making a bet with your avatar or something...

 

[Jedisupersonic]

We're basically going to make an actual mathematical theory at the rate we're coming up with theories.

 

[DarkFalcon]

Not expecting anything from TGS. We just got a trailer, and even if the direct didn't get delayed I feel it'd still be too soon.

 

[Omega Tyrant]

I totally agree with you that point. But weirdly, I'm not feeling it anymore for Geno since the Music Theory get more and more truth... And why you might asks? It's a dumb reason but...

You would think that if Nintendo got the right for Geno for Smash...they wouldn't remove his Cameo from the M&L superstar saga remake.

Yes it's a dumb reason. But the fact that he disappeared there made me worried that Square was against using Geno again-

The licensing to use Geno in the Superstar Saga remake would be completely different from the licensing to use him in Smash, even if Geno was in Smash Nintendo would have to go out and license Geno separately for Superstar Saga, which could have simply been deemed not worth it for a non-essential cameo.

Really? I myself did feel a bit down about Geno's removal. It's nice to know there's a genuine reason.

 

[RandomAce]

To those that want to know something new that was shown at TGS.

New Kingdom Hearts Trailer came out, and the release date went from January 29th down to January 25th.

Resident Evil 2:Remake got a small new trailer and a release date of January 25th 2019 (that’s the same day as KH3, what the ****).

And those are the big ones I could find.

 

[Luigi The President]

Hey uh...

This guy, Riley William Little, just tweeted this about Banjo-Kazooie news. Is he anyone of repute?

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Yeah, except everyone here knew about it the minute it was shown behind closed doors.

Never really heard of him before...Doesn't seem like anything to freak out about...

Just a journalist for a gaming site or two, from what I can see.

 

[Shroob]

And that’s another one for the blog theory aka the mathematical theory

3 characters a week is standard, that's nothing new.

The blog theory can't really be proven until either the next direct happens, or we get to the month before launch.

There's still wayyyyy too many veterans at this point for them to consider slowing down.

Oh my god. Please be what I think he's saying. PLEASE!!!!

Just wait... It's just gonna be Banjo Threeie

 

[Iridium]

I swear I heard you talk about making a bet with your avatar or something...

Oh, that was about if Incineroar got in. I said that if he got in by the Nintendo Direct (already passed) or Smash Direct, then I would change my avatar and personal info to include him for a month.

The Sonic stuff... is because I'm done maining Link. I have moved on to Sonic, and I'm not sure where else I will go from there.

 

[Deleted member]

Just wait... It's just gonna be Banjo Threeie

It'll be Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts 2, obviously. Everyone's been looking forward to more CARS.

 

[Imadethistoseealeak]

Just wait... It's just gonna be Banjo Threeie

Honestly I think Banjo fans would rather that.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

We're basically going to make an actual mathematical theory at the rate we're coming up with theories.

The theory is from the average of character post

Multiplied times the remaining

Minus the ones not shown left

We get 6-8 newcomers left (result is 7)

2.9 (the average per week which is 41 divided by 14 as of this post) x number of weeks left - characters that did not get a character of the day post yet = aproxiately 7 so 6-8

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

Realistically if there were to be an announcement for Smash Bros at Tokyo Game Show, it probably wouldn't be as significant as Isabelle. I'm expecting nothing or only one Echo Fighter to be announced, but even then nothing being announced is much more likely than something like Ken.
