Vergeben's pretty quick to strike things down usually, I think he believes it.

It's tough coming out and talking about a character that gets **** talked all the time.

"Hey guys, Edelgard is actually kinda coo-"
"NO. NONONONONONO. FIYAH EMBUREM DOESN'T GET ANOTHER CHARACTER UNLESS MY PICKS GET IN FIRST.

"Hey guys, Tracer would actually be cool. You see, they could do this thing where-"
"NO. NONONONONONO. ACTIVISION BLIZZARD IS BAD BUT THAT DOESN'T APPLY TO CRASH. OVERWATCH SUCKS NOBODY PLAYS IT. BESIDES JOKER ALREADY USES A GUN, IT'S NOT LIKE HER BURST PISTOL AND ABILITY TO BLINK MAKES HER UNIQUE YOU TWERP.

"Hey guys, Resident Evil is pretty big and has-"
"NO. NONONONONONO. IT DOESN'T HAVE AS GOOD OF A RELATIONSHIP WITH NINTENDO AS OTHER SERIES AND IT HAS BLOOD. I MEAN YEAH, SNAKE AND BAYO DEAL WITH BLOOD BUT I'M GOING TO CONVENIENTLY IGNORE THAT"

"Hey guys, King of Fighters is like the OG crossover fighter. Terry Bogard is actu-"
"NO. NONONONONONO. WHAT THE **** IS AN SNK, OR IS THAT JUST AN ABBREVIATION FOR SNAKE? THAT'S DUMB. WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER FIGHTING CHARACTER WHEN WE HAVE PLENTY OF NINTENDO CHARACTERS THAT THE ONLINE SMASH COMMUNITY CARES ABOUT WAY MORE. NOBODY ASKS FOR TERRY, BUT SEE, I HAVE THIS ESSAY ON WHY-"

Obviously folks have come around with Resident Evil, but there are still folks who give it **** here and there.

This is probably annoying at this rate. I'm just finding some threads on GameFAQS an absolute riot right now. It's like the chaotic evil version of Smashboards.
I’ve never seen somebody hate on any of these characters to this extent. I’ve heard a few people saying they wouldn’t want them in, but not this.

This is really interesting, it could mean so many things.

Why would this hinder their chances when we already have SNK leaked in a Nintendo page?
Seems like the manager of the account is just taking the piss.

Wouldn't be the first time a company tries to downplay a leak. I wouldn't put too much faith into it.

Remember when Grant Kirkhope said Banjo is dead and he cried at his funeral?

I doubt this SNK rep running the Twitter has no idea who is and isn't in Smash. They're in charge of social media for an unrelated game.

At best corporate approved of this Tweet.

Imagine if SNK's credit got put on the wrong page and this has all been for nothing.

Dramaaaaaa~!

the fact that the SNK trademark was still there means that if it's not a character, at the very least there's content

like a ****ing mii costume for terry, kyo, nakoruru, haohmaru, the like

Fair enough, but I don't think he ever directly talked about Banjo being leaked, just responses to people asking what he thought their chances were. Commenting on leaks directly is something we don't really have a precedent for outside of Ubisoft planning to comment on Omni's Rayman stunt.

Not saying this means nothing, but we gotta keep in mind Grant Kirkhope did a very similar thing before Banjo officially got revealed

I VERY heavily doubt they're gonna introduce a new company to Smash just for a couple of mii costumes. The trademark most definitely means a fighter pack.

the fact that one of the SNK games tweeted this only means it's gonna get more publicity

not very smart

I'm hopeful for Marco, Tarma, Eri, and Fio myself.

Metal Slug might have a wider appeal, but I respect KOF's influence on Smash and Sakurai as a designer. It would also be cool to see the rivalry between Street Fighter and KOF reborn into Smash.

So Salty Bet is bugged right now and features such riveting gameplay as Kanji walking endlessly to the left.

Edit:
Just as I said it, it's fixed.

The press release was just for challenger pack 4, not the supposed 6.0 as a whole

**** I had the biggest scare in my life.

I took my dogs down to the creek and Sophie she apparently chased after a fox and I desperately kept yelling for her worried she'd get lost and not come back. Luckily she did.

Made sure she wasn't bitten or scratched in case the fox had rabies but even then her shot should be up to date since she's less then a year old so she should be fine but juts to be sure gonna be keeping an eye for the next week.

There are two things that make me think this isn't a big deal.

  1. If I were in charge of a company and my Smash Bros reveal just got leaked, I'd straight up say, "My character is not in Smash." Who wouldn't?
  2. It's a social media account. They kind of have to respond or else it would look suspicious like they were intentionally avoiding the topic. Given how lightly they responded to the whole situation, I doubt this is anything but a facade they're playing until it's actually revealed.

Mii costumes aren't part of a character pack. It's absolutely for a character, stage, or song.

Hard to decipher what this means. It's weird for any official accounts to comment on Smash when they know their character is next in line, but this could also be a cover-up...maybe.

Sabi? Don't know where I stand with her. Honestly, it feels like she's taking us on a ride for attention, and I don't like that. Doesn't make her previous prediction any less notable, but I don't think her history with Smash is long enough for us to treat what she says as gospel.

And Verge. No clue if he genuinely knows what's going on. Him hearing a name being mentioned could range from him actually knowing who the DLC character is to him wanting to make it seem like he still knows stuff about Ultimate when he's really just as clueless as us.

Didn’t Grant state he had no knowledge of Banjo in Smash before said character got revealed?

It's not like companies haven't acknowledged leaks before, Harada freaked out on twitter when namco's stuff leaked before E3, Ed Boon straight up admitted the MK11 roster leaked in an interview, there's probably a lot of other examples I can't think of rn. I feel like with what we've seen already this doesn't mean much.

To be fair, Pac-Man, Ryu, Simon, Hero (sort of), and Banjo were all leaked ahead of time, and none of their respective owners commented.

As far as I'm aware, this is a first. Third-party companies usually keep their mouths shut when it comes to Smash.
