I can confirm that this dude had legitimate information for the base game.

I dunno about dlc, but he knew stuff others didnt.

If one of his sources is telling him Ryu, then I'm 90% pressed to believe him tbh.

I can't believe Geno was literally killed by a ninja.
What was Geno’s link to that leak in the first place?

Plus that leak was meant for that one social group where it was posted. Let’s not forget the context. They would only be told by the person who did it if it was something they were a fan of. The key question is, does that group like Ninja Gaiden.

The popular fan speculation was that the bird was a Starling and that Geno is a star spirit. It's credibility is... lacking.

Okay, but really though, why the sudden talk about Ryu Hayabusa? I'm so confused.
Here ya go.

papagenos video a few pages back explains it

tl;dw = leaker with a fairly solid track record (called isabelle, ken/incineroar/piranha plant (yes even piranha plant), and marx as a boss) has heard from multiple sources that hayabusa is next

as a hero/banjo/ryu roster lines up with the old 4chan leak, people are wondering if this also means doomguy as fighter 5 (presumably at TGA as a little tie-in to doom eternal)

Apparently Sabi and Veregeben don't believe it, for what it's worth.

Star-ling. Geno’s a star spirit.

Yes it’s a stretch.

So what’s with all the talk about Ryu Hayabusa lately? Is it really just one of those old text leaks saying Erdrick, Banjo, Ryu, and Doomguy?

Banjo really wasn’t a super hard guess when you consider the emphasis on fan demand, and with Joker and “Brave” known, the emphasis on new third party characters.

I’d honestly discredit those leaks because they say Erdrick (the most popular name fans used to refer to Brave) instead of the actual name Hero. He didn’t even say Luminary or Eleven which is the default Hero.

Plus, we apparently have Doomguy coming to Mortal Kombat due to some leak or datamine(?). Idk if either Nintendo or Netherealm would like having Doomguy in both. Doomguy is the biggest gaming crossover ever could overshadow MK11’s Doomguy reveal, and Netherealm wouldn’t like that. Conversely, the toned down Doomguy in Smasg would be compared to the brutal, absolutely true to source material Doomguy in MK11, and idk if Nintendo would like that.
This info on Hayabusa is from this YouTuber who leaked Piranha Plant as well as Isabelle and Marx being a boss. Worth keeping an eye on.

Plus with an direct supposedly coming out next week makes it more believable to not be a coincidence perhaps.

If Google Theory is to be right then Doom Slayer will be the fifth and final character possilibity to tie into Doom Eternal which should be revealed around the time of the 5th DLC fighter's reveal. or close to it at least (Video Game Awards).

For what its worth though VergeBen was spot on with Base but otherwise not so much with DLC as for example he said a Square rep would be revealed at the VGA last year. Look who that turned out to be.

I'm pretty sure he just knew there was a Square Enix character (which there is) and he assumed, since that was the only info he had, that it was the first character in the pass.


Now we just have to wait and see what the Plant says.

What about VRPlant? If he too denies Ryu Hayabusa, then that’s that

Oh right.

Day of the Direct announcement the Plant will stir and reveal all.

Source? Is it more of a "I don't believe it" or a "I haven't heard anything about this"

Now the question is do they not believe it because they haven't heard anything, or that they've heard someone else.
I don't think Sabi would be silent if they knew the next DLC character

You guys realize though VergeBen was right about said Square rep. Said Square rep wasn't revealed until E3 which he said would had been revealed at the VGA awards. Just saying so point still stands.

Be real. Has Verge ever gotten dates consistently right? The only thing he ever knocked out of the park was who'd get in, which is literally the entire point of our speculation. Focus on what's relevant here, pal.

Plant is really just a slightly early news source. They seem to be related to the marketing/Youtube teams, so they don't get information until fairly soon before the event they're leaking. So we'll only get info on that closer to a character reveal

Discord conversation. This is, in fact, the real Sabi fwiw.

Man this whole Verge thing...

Some people says he's been right about everything and yet there's other people saying he's been wrong about some sources.

Which is it!? Make up your mind people!
