Everything is Smash Speculation. You should know that by now, lol.
Here's something fun to spruce up speculation in this post-Hero world.
Remember that Staling picture from a few weeks ago; posted by a source in Sabi's Discord? We weren't sure if it was an actual hint towards something or just a random picture, but now we know it was meant to be a hint (not necessarily for Smash though; mind you).
It's time forGeno at EVO this to not be fruitful at all.

It's not the same source that gave her the hints about Link's Awakening or Banjo, for the record.
Throws a wrench in that.

How does starling mean geno again?
He comes from the stars.
That's literally it.
I could say Haruka is a pop star thus starling confirms her, but that's too stupid even for me.
I'm kind of amazed that they fixed down air stalling after 11 and a half years
I think everyone just assumed it was intended behavior

If we get the RE Reps and it ends up being Chris,Jill,Leon and Claire - will they be like Olimar/Alph and go under their orginal names or be like the Hero and have a unifying name like Stars Squad
You name the Hero in Dragon Quest, that's why he doesn't really have a name in Smash.
Unifying name wouldn't make sense, they are all their own characters.
I really don't think Geno is one of the DLC Pack, maybe as an extra charcter post the Pack but definetly not part of the park
That Nintendo took second place for Crash doesn't sit well with me if he's supposed to be coming to Smash...
Well I mean, as far as we know there are only two characters left, so a vast majority of the speculation here will, by default, lead to nothing.
But that's the result of most Smash speculation!
No Elma or Dixie still hurts.
I'd say appearing as a spirit in the base game should be enough to deconfirm him, but a lot of people tend to deny that.
So far Hero is the exception when it comes to Nintendo's involvement with an IP. They don't even have Persona 5 on Switch and they're not exactly involved with Banjo Kazooie either. However they have a decent relationship with Sega and Microsoft in general so if you want to play the 'how involved is Nintendo' game you're probably better off looking at that angle rather than worrying about a trailer at E3.
If Crash was happening you'd think their would have been leaks, teases, rumours surrounding him like there has been with Doom and was with Dragon Quest/Banjo/Castelvania. It's not like Activison-Blizzard is known for running a tight ship. They leak all the time.
To deny what you're saying would imply there was some proven truth to it. We're just speculating at this point.
You have to admit the costume's absence after Smash For made such a big deal of it is conspicuous.
They probably balanced the Spirit battles around the original FS Meter, and didn't want to mess with them.
Plus a few spirit battles are centred around the enemy getting an instant FS, so being able to camp them out would make those battles way easier.
I think the argument has shifted now that he's gonna be a bonus character after the Pass.
Hero feels way too good, but from playing around with him it seems like he will be somewhat vulnerable to being out camped by other good ranged characters. The RNG of the down b is broken but he can move while selecting an attack and will hopefully be susceptible to pressure
I'm less concerned with who's coming and more so with what the heck the release schedule from here on out will be. It took three months to get Joker after Piranha Plant, and then another three months to get Hero. Banjo is releasing Fall 2020, so I'm guessing that will put him right at the end of October if we follow the three month interval, but then we have two characters who have yet to be released. And they did say that all of the content in the Fighter Pass would release by February 2020, which at by the beginning of November 2019, the would only have three months left.
Frankly, Banjo should be out in less time considering it seems based on E3, Banjo is decently done
6 of the 8 mainline Resident Evil games have come to Switch over the last two years, and Resident Evil obviously has a strong historical connection to Nintendo through numerous (timed) exclusives like REmake, RE0, RE4, Umbrella Chronicles, Darkside Chronicles, and Revelations.
I'm not sure if any of that helps, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

Reminder that this is what Nintendo views as the summer time.
So yeah, Banjo definitely won't drop earlier than October.

It would allow them to add him without having to come up with a new stage, music, and spirit board. I just don't know though. Geno would be a literally who for the vast majority of Smash players.
The only benefit for Nintendo of adding Geno as a bonus fighter is that it would please the hardcore crazy fans without tainting the Fighter Pack in the eyes of normies. Of course this all requires SE to want to do this. Now that's a big IF.
Yeah; I wouldn't expect a gap as long for Banjo. Early October at the latest, most likely.
Wasn't this originally used as proof that Hero didn't need to release until August or September?Reminder that this is what Nintendo views as the summer time.

Let's just toss out this calender already.
Remember at the vgas when Reggie, Shawn, and Phil all went up with eachother? Maybe it was hinting at both a microsoft rep and a "sony" rep. Crash wouldn't technically be, but yea.
I mean
They still released Hero on July 30th. Which fits into Nintendo's summer timeframe. I don't see why we should completely forget about this calender and expect Banjo to be released in September considering Nintendo literally views that as a summer month.
Is there even anyone expecting banjo for september anyway?
Summer ends in late September; I don't think the calendar would split up the month like that.
The character 'Geno' has never physically appeared in the Super Smash Bros. series :)
Besides, i'm pretty sure that quote is just supposed to mean that all of the characters are newcomers, something that Sakurai emphasized in the November Direct too.
Yeah like how Sakurai had no input in the character selection process, and it was all done by Nintendo.
Didn't he also say characters that wouldn't normally be expected and could bring in new audiences?
OP
OP
Yeah, I'm not surprised with that but I just wonder if there is more to budget comment like Season Pass 2 ;P (not that I'm expecting that tho)
It's odd since he mentioned budgets like three time this year so I wonder if he could hint something more than we are expecting. Early this year, he said he had some budget on aside but now they are out of it so I wonder if he decided to spent it on something else. (IT's more likely to be those CGI reveal trailers tho)
Does it count if I think September 30th is the absolute earliest he can come out?
