Did something happen with Ryu Hayabusa in the past few days that's ramped up discussion for him? Or is it that, thanks to previous leaks/rumors, he is just the belle of the ball of speculation right now, like Hero used to be? Right now, I'm placing bets on Crash, Geno, Ryu, and Lloyd for...

I'd chalk it up to just a mistake or a coincidentally unfortunate music choice. I don't think there would be any reason for them to make it unlockable, when the game would probably sell a lot better if they marketed Galaxy 2 from the get-go. Alongside the games barely being reworked and the...

What the hell is going on? I come here wondering what's up with Geno speculation today, and just the last few posts alone are about pro Smash player controversies (which while important, shouldn't be in this thread) and some guy spouting incel rhetoric? For the love of god people, take this...

Another week, another lack of Smash news since Min Min. Well, at least we got an actual Direct about Nintendo games for once. My thoughts on the tournament are this. If Geno was coming out before the tournament, obviously they wouldn't spoil that. So if we say hypothetically he is in before the...

Mario as a whole is a large and storied franchise, so it's a shame Nintendo is still stuck in their ways. The franchise has so many great and beloved characters from 35 years of history that don't get ever get used after their initial appearance. Outside of the lucky few "core" characters...

Well, things certainly took a turn in the two hours since I was last online. Most of my thoughts on the upcoming Partners Mini have already been said by others in the thread. The one thing I will say is that I'm disappointed in Nintendo's complete lack of communication. This is the kind of...

Hello. I was an active user in the K. Rool thread in 2018, went inactive after his confirmation, came back for the Banjo hype in 2019, and then went inactive again. I'm here a third time for the Geno hype. I don't have as much attachment to Geno as most here, only having finally completed SMRPG...

Most likely, I think we'll get a release date for Banjo, coming out this or next week. Whatever day he's set to reveal, they'll also stay "look forward to Sakurai's 15-minute presentation before his release!" and that video will drop the day before Banjo does. In addition, Fighter 4's trailer is...

If the leaks (in #4's case) and rumors (in #5's case) are true, that the last two fighters are then I'm pretty dang satisfied with this Fighters Pass. Of course, Banjo is the only one I have any real history with, but Joker was a great addition, Hero was a solid addition even if I dislike the...

To think, three months ago Banjo-Kazooie had been both dead as a character and franchise for over a decade. Now here we are anticipating their release, possibly within the next week or two. I'm glad we're in this timeline. Call me selfish, but the wait for Hero to come out was especially...

Guys, chill. The bill's targeted at malicious microtransaction efforts like what EA did with Battlefront II. Smash Ultimate's DLC characters would no doubt fall under the "additional content" section - reminder that Smash is not sold or marketed as a competitive game, so I would not at all...

Well, we had Plant in February (technically January 31, but close enough) and Joker in April, so a two-month gap between the next two characters seems reasonable. With that in mind, I'm thinking we'll get Hero early-mid July, and then we'll get Banjo sometime in September - early October at the...

Not counting echoes to keep it simple. The only character I really cared about that became an echo was Dark Samus. SSS Tier: :ultkrool: :ultbanjokazooie: My top two requests for literal decades. Calling them my dream characters is an understatement. Gotta love Rare. They even share the same...

For those of us who like the echoes and Miis separate, I'm curious how they'll handle the absolutely bloated character select screen. As the game is right now, it's 5x13 for 65, plus a row of 12 at the bottom (including Random), for 77. Add Hero, Banjo, and the last two to make it 81 squares...

In the alternate timeline where Rare stayed with Nintendo, we probably would have gotten Banjo alongside Diddy in Brawl. Assuming B-K as a series stayed popular, Mumbo I think would be next in line for Smash 4 (Smash has always favored sidekicks before antagonists). After that, I think Gruntilda...
