>Make thread with unbiased information to let people talk
Okay but like..... you can get all this from Robin. And Lloyd is BUILT around duel wielding.
Agree and remember what happened to the last time everyone believed something with a Linkedin which claimed to help a certain leak. Lets just say Christmas wasn't the only thing stolen by this Green fellow.Calling @Calane. He's the guy to go to for this sort of stuff.
Also bless youNekoo for making this thread. Now that there's a specific place to discuss this stuff it'll be easier to follow.
Anyways, I got an idea after looking atTree Gelbman 's post about how four of the characters are Toriyama and how that could be to draw eyes from Sora and Geno.
What if the source that approached Polar and Co. about Sephiroth and Geno in negotiations is someone from Square Enix deliberately spreading misinformation? How else would they have a Linkedin page of a specific Square Enix employee and how they would know something like this. or how were they able to find Polar's source and provide a story that fills in the blanks?
We already know that Square Enix is throwing around misinformation left and right, so I certainly wouldn't be surprised if that's the case here.
But we just established that saying "I don't believe Geno is likely due to x, y, and z reasons" isn't Geno bashing in the general thread when you brought it up.
It is necessary many Geno fans were not happy with topics de railing off of Geno in the Geno Thread. Thats a very unfair assumption you are making of the people here
Did we? I mean you certainly agreed on that with your friends.
Dude.
Luigi The President
is one of the biggest Geno fans here, and even posts on the Geno thread same as you. She and many others agreed that our discussion wasn't Geno bashing. These were people that yes, I am friends with, but also people that I'm not friends with and barely even know.
Juste Quote EVERY POST that bash Geno on this thread right now.
Did you barely read the post? I made plenty of distinctions from Robin very clear, like the fact that the Luminary has his own full set of swordfighting abilities in DQ11, and that Erdrick can use many different types of weapons in DQ3.

and others know I have tried my best to see both sides of the argument when it comes to Geno and even agree he may be our 2nd rep. From what I have seen I have not seen Geno bashing, just people speculating that other characters may be in the running.
And you're way too sensitive to your character. Mature up and face the possibility of him not being in. We all are if our characters share the same fate and we aren't afraid of dealing with this. If Geno has less chances because the majority of insiders insist in the same stance Vergeben had, too bad m8. Doesn't mean it will happen, but this isn't bashing. It's the pursuit of truth. Nobody is chasing Geno's fanbase or the character itself. We're all chill here. ^^
Of course we have biases dude, Isn't that one of the main reasons why we speculate in the first place?
Dragon Quest really only has a chance in my worst nightmares; which is slowly what the roster is veering into; from the looks of things. If they are willing to jump through THAT many legal hoops to get a character not many people wanted..... then I'm at a loss for word's, frankly
It's a possibility for sure. We all know how stingy they are, or they could just be pushing for someone different entirely like Neku or (it pains me to type this) Lightning
I wish I was biased like that.
In Japan, Dragon Quest has absolutely massive selling power. At its peak of cultural relevancy it's on the same level of Pac-Man for them.
Yes; but in Smash, next to Geno, there's no comparison. Even in fan polls, have you ever seen a Dragon Quest Character? I haven't even seen one in Japanese Polls.
So what that we have our prefferences? We won't be afraid of facing the possibility of them being confirmed if we have actual evidence and insiders telling us info that we may not like. I'm rooting for Sephiroth, and I know he's not the first pick that they would go with. I've seen people disregard him and say how he isn't likely. Am I crying foul and saying you're all biased? No. Everyone is trying to come up with a solution with the info they have in hand. Some may have different info, but you can't judge someone bc they think your character isn't likely. The world isn't the way we want and we should get used to people not agreeing with our opinions. And demanding everyone to stay in line bc "muh positive environment" or "muh safe space" isn't a healthy way to drive forward any honest discussion. We want the truth whether it deconfirms our prefferences or not.
Lol
You have to keep in mind that the DLC isnt being chosen by Sakurai but by the higher-ups at Nintendo. Popularity within the Smash fanbase is likely a much smaller factor in decision making due to the fact that most Smash fans will buy all the DLC anyways, which like I said before makes me assume they will try to target the less dedicated Smash players as much as possible.
Then it's legitimately Lara Croft.
Something Something.
Are you trying to say Nintendo wouldn't look at the ballot?
Couldnt have said it better myself. Hardly anyone clamored for Ryu but we still got him, and deservedly so.
I would hardly call it good. Especially if it's motivated by driving up Square's profits without showing love to a near 10 year fanbase.
Fan polls are only representative of a small portion of the fanbase, however. Even Japanese fan polls are only a small fraction of dedicated fans.
I'm not saying that at all. But you gotta see it through a business perspective, I could totally see a fan-pleaser character getting in from the ballot but I think I've already made my point.
Not gonna lie, you have a really solid point here, especially since I doubt bayonetta was very high on the ballot, however remember that we don't even know what the ballot looks like. We really don't know for sure who performed well.
Oooh? That is kind of exciting to hear! Someone has an idea of the ballot results?
I just noticed you changed your profile pic lol, it looks good buddy. Now I really need to find or make a Noctis and Geno drinking tea pic.
I too have pondered on this possiblity, but the only other character that's not on that list that could ignite some hype would be Noctis or Lara. I doubt were getting either honestly. Neko could be possible, TWEWY is on the Switch, and could get a sequel if it did well enough (he's not requested enough compared to others), and I know people bring up Octopath, but the thing is, that's way too new and recent for a third party character. Most of the third parties currently has been around for 2 to 3 generations. The only exception for a third party that's new and recent has been Bayonetta, and even then she would be around for almost a decade now and is relevant.
Either Neku or an Octopath character.
All they said was that Simon performed better in the Ballot than we thought, and that K. Rool's ballot popularity is what got Nintendo to get their head out of their asses.
