Pretty much. The Fighters Pass is the only time I have ever felt like Banjo had a legit chance of making it, so i'm all in until the very end.

My 20 year old brother was pretty excited when I mentioned it to him, although he's never played a Banjo game. I think he was more happy for me than anything.
You could say that about most Smash Bros characters, honestly. You think your average 12 year old kid gives a shit about Game and Watch or Duck Hunt?
Relevancy should never be a primary factor for deciding characters. It robs us from legacy characters. Otherwise, a sizable portion of the cast should not be playable.
I do and i'm super young lol. Only really played nuts and bolts on 360.
Besides, it's awesome getting different characters; I warmed up to K Rool because of how awesome he was in Smash, the songs he brought with him and him being genuinely fun to use.
To be fair I've yet to find a <20 y/o zoomer who cares about Cloud
just saying:
DLC so far:
Mewtwo: still very big and relevant
Roy&Lucas: people knew them from Smash and are easier to include with already done movesets
Ryu, Cloud, Corrin, Bayonetta, Joker: all still big and relevant with Corrin and Joker being new.
Banjo: not relevant at all

Boomers give up on the bear and we can all settle this peacefully with some drinks in our DQ Slime tm mugs :^)
No, shh. Let them have fun; it'll make it better when Banjo is announced in the Direct.
It's not exactly the kiddies playing the Switch (and thus Ultimate) guys
It's only the most popular thread on Smashboards right now, but you tried to be snarky I guess
that word doesn't mean what you think it means
Holy shit, 30 year old are boomers now? Jesus.
Also, yes? It's always been one of the most popular characters in ballots and polls for a reason. And Banjo has always been a rather charming series with its popularity showing off every now and then because of Youtube, mainly.
This whole image is pretty far-fetched if you ask me.
Steve is dead; get over it.
this is just what an irrelevant 30 year old boomer would say.
Bayonetta has never been big. That she managed to get through the ballot speaks more of the Smash fanbase's sensibilities.
Fucking zoomers
Get off my lawn you whippersnapper!
As we come up to Smash Ultimate's second E3, let us remember the greatest Smash trailer to ever exist
This will never be topped
This will never be topped
probably, maybe 85%? somewhere along that lines i would say.
I dunno, Banjo's reveal trailer could come close if they play it right.
and who do you think posts on these forums? i tell you what 20 somethings don't even know what forums are.
No way, as cool as Banjo is, Banjo isn't the entire roster of the game, plus half a dozen previously cut characters in one trailer set to awesome music.
Let's dial it back a bit, here. It's all good fun but don't troll, please.
To maximize potential audience gains, Furukawa will clearly force Sakurai to make the Challenger Pack 6: Vodka & Poker.
What happened to the gender ratio here, I thought Nintendo consoles usually have a pretty even male/female spread?

While the revelation of "Everyone is Here!" was amazing, I think in terms of actual storyboarding and pacing, the Brawl trailer is still the one to beat:
Just look at how masterfully it uses the rule of threes throughout its cutting.
I am always surprised by Banjo's momentum. I think there's just high overlap between "people really into Smash" and "people with a lot of N64 nostalgia."
But like, I never played any of his games, so even among Rare characters I can think of like half a dozen I'd rather see.

The Smash series started on the N64, so that overlap makes sense, although I think Melee was probably most people's first Smash games, so idunno.
Prettu sure that was made only a few months after launch. Launch is usually when the more hardcore buy consoles.
From what I remember this is from the first month of the Switch release - so it heavily favors early adopters (who are generally older, richer, and male). I'd be curious what that chart looks like in 2019.
yeah that's pretty surprising to me, like that's an overwhelming majority right there
It... Has to be an US thing, I guess? The male/female ratio of Switch owners I know is pretty evenly spread.
I wonder if it has to do with what the Switch currently provides. Lack of titles that specifically appeal to women and girls.
I mean, The Everyone is Here trailer was only hype for the cut veterans to me. I was already expecting every Smash 4 character to return before E3, and I predicted that a good chunk (if not all) of them would be re-revealed during E3. Pichu, Pokemon Trainer and Snake were the parts that made it for me (plus the few Smash 4 characters with redesigns; especially the Zelda cast).
Seeing the banner for the first time after the trailer was honestly more hype than the trailer itself.
I think Banjo would just represent a lot more. A Microsoft rep is bigger than any individual reveal in the Everyone is Here trailer, that's for sure.
The Everyone Is Here trailer was great and made me so happy. Never would have expected the entire roster up to that point from previous games to come back. It would take quite a bit for even a Banjo-Kazooie reveal to beat that for me.
