Is there a discord or somewhere else where people are still actively engaging in Geno or general smash speculation? I don't see much of the Geno crowd posting here in the Newcomer Spec II thread.

Felt like I have been so out of the loop since thread closure and just want a place to read about news and potentials.

Would you mind if I ask you a question about the most recent piece of news? I still got the PM thread open.

hey fatman is it possible if you could also give me the reasoning why geno still in the running as well. i want to believe he still gotta chance ya know.

Fatman i know i never put any weight into your words due to my general skepticism, but i remember you talking about Sephiroth in Smash just a few months ago.

I don't know if this was the Mandela Effect and im misremembering something, but just wanted to ask.

Just wanted to say thanks for being such a great member of the whole Geno supporter circle. Even though we have definitely hit another big low, great people like you know to keep the spirits up. <3 Looks like we got a long way down the star road still, but we'll get there some day!

Why do you have a pink name, if you don't mind me asking?

Do you think Geno is going to be revealed during December bro? Or more properly, during Mario Tournament? You know I’m 100% sure about Geno playable but don’t know if that happen soon or 2021.

Hello, Fatman. I hope you are doing well. I know we have not seen eye to eye in the last day, but I just want to say I was trying to help you and the other Geno fans from, well, overhyping yourselves to setting yourselves up for big disappointment. I would go into that more, but I don't want another argument, so don't ask. Still, I was concerned, that is all. However, this has gotten to me, and because I could not help out the way I wanted to, just like how I tried to help the Sonic fanbase from setting themselves up for disappointment before, I felt helpless. I was even crying just now. However, while it may be true that some people, maybe even a good number of people could handle themselves, I was not thinking that would be the case with everyone. I felt that because I could not convince anyone anything, or change them (not that I would want to), I was just a useless failure. Also, while I was annoyed at the one user, who you should know that I will not name, I would never tell him to change. In fact, I'd say changing him in even the slightest would make him lose his identity or appeal to Geno fans, which is not even I would want. Just how he showed his positivity and expressed it, not the positivity and optimism itself, was what I did not like, Anyhow, yeah, I felt like I could not achieve anything, and while I am sorry, very much, if I upset you or others there (I really am), I guess trying to help achieves nothing, and is futile, even if I was just merely concerned.

I am not trying to get you to feel sympathy for me or care, I just...I don't know what else to say. Listen, I have to go, I mean, you probably still mad at me, anyway.

" I don't really get this concept because nothing bad has happened as a result. Some people have wound up disappointed, I guess, but it's weird to me that there's been multiple cases of people announcing their departure with the dire seriousness of a job resignation. This isn't the Manhattan Project and I've noticed that any complaining of things not panning out has overwhelmingly stuck to this thread so it's not like the Smash speculation equivalent of Chernobyl either. "

First, this would be nothing like the Chernobyl disaster. The Chernobyl disaster is way bigger in importance, while something about Geno not getting in is a different case altogether. It is much smaller, but the sad thing is, there is bound to be people really mad at all, anyway. It is not the event itself, but the reaction, which are different things. It is not accurate to compare those two things.

Plus, as for the "nothing bad has happened" that because Geno has not had a real big deconfirmation yet. We have just seen other characters announced, but nothing that flat out deconfirms Geno. I know human nature well, and like many people on the internet, I know people are going to be mad, and are going to set themselves up for disappointment with overwhelming positivity when they don't have the proper knowledge of a character getting in or not. Sure, there is speculation, but that can only excuse so much. There is so much blindness going in and ignoring evidence against Geno, passively or actively.

I decided to leave the Geno thread and that is final. I am doing it for reasons people there apparently can't see, and if they think they won't be angry and rabid in the end, well, fine, there is still a chance they won't know themselves well and still get mad, regardless. I don't think everyone knows themselves well enough.

Hey Fatman. This is more of a personal off-topic thing if you don't mind, but I remember you saying that you were in charge of organizing events around Halloween. With Halloween breathing on our necks right now and the pandemic being a mf, were your annual plans cancelled? Some states are still doing Halloween, so I was curious. I don't know if I can post questions like this on your profile, but I'm new here lol.

Hope this isn't a bother, but do you think Breath of the Wild 2 and the rumored Donkey Kong Country could be launch titles or even just launch window titles for the Switch Pro?

The year is 2020. Nintendo casually brings Panel de Pon and Mario Super Picross to Western audiences after 25 years and Fire Emblem gets an official localization after 30 years. I've been saying it since last August but this is basically just an appetizer for stuff to come that people ordinarily would dismiss as borderline impossible any other year. COVID may have ****ed up 2020 but 2021 is already shaping up to be Nintendo's best year since probably 2017. Hang in there, comrades. As others have said, the dam should finally break by February at the absolute latest.

Yo. Rate my Deluxe Mii Costume predictions:

Brawlers: Rayman, Klonoa, Wonder Red
Swordfighters: Professor Layton, Shovel Knight, Shantae, Hollow Knight
Gunners: Dr. Cortex, Earthworm Jim

Hello, forgive me if this has been asked already or if this is a bother, but I was just curious on what your opinion is on a Namco rep, bonus DLC, and Waluigi? Before my hiatus you were pretty confident in all of these but since I haven't heard any of your current thoughts on this matter I am curious to know if anything has changed or if any new information from these topics have dropped.

More DK evidence!

Just dropping by to say that one of the main reasons I've been lurking around the Geno thread daily for the past few weeks now are because of people like you (in a good way, since I mean this as a compliment ) .

New Trademarks, and ones for the DK franchise!

So, it seems that Blocked Content is talking about you now and classified you as a leaker. Can't say this would end well...

Hey Fatmanonice I have a question in regards to a certain character, I know you probably won’t be able to answer this and if you can’t that’s fine, but I was really curious as I want to see them join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate so I will ask, Have you or your sources have heard anything in regards to Ryu Hayabusa coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? I’m curious as I know there is a supposed Ninja Gaiden Sigma Trilogy coming to the Nintendo Switch and I know that Nintendo and KOEI Tecmo Games just announced Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity together earlier this week, so I was wondering if you can answer, has there been anything in regards to Ryu Hayabusa coming to Smash Bros.?

Thoughts?

There's three other things in particular. The SMRPG remake was one of two things I was specifically asked to not make public by multiple people since April. The other is one of the three classic NES/indie revivals that's supposedly going to be announced by the end of the summer. There's two things that my contacts gave me the okay to make public but I've chosen not to because I believe their respective fanbases deserve the surprise. As I've talked about in the past, one of them has been kept a secret since last August and it's basically been a gaming community collective effort to not let it get out. On a much, much smaller degree, I guess I'm keeping the dead Namco franchise revival secret too but the other three things are so much of a bigger deal in comparison (no offense to that fanbase but they still deserve the surprise in my opinion).

Click to expand...

I’m not personally itching to know these secrets, but I wanted to ask something I’ve been wondering about for a while. I read this as, “I know something you don’t know. It’s really cool and here’s some hints to ponder for fun, but I won’t tell you even though I‘ve been told it’s fine if I did. You deserve to not know like I do.” Asking as an honest question, why tell people you know a cool secret that it’s more fun if they don’t find out, instead of not saying anything at all? Why say that you know something you choose not to say, but not choose to not say you know it?

I’m wondering if this is how you and your insider/insider-ish contacts talk to each other about these things, like frequently they tell you something cool is coming but they can’t share exactly what at the time, and you do the same thing in the Geno thread because you like to be inclusive of people who have been rooting for him for a long time. The cynical part of me says that you enjoy other people knowing you know secrets and not telling them, but I honestly can’t imagine that’s actually true because you come across as a genuine and decent person (I’ve seen you get attacked before, so I want to emphasize that’s not what this is, I just wanted to ask is all).

Question: what is the best Nintendo franchise for ****post content and why is it Wario?

Fatman, question - is there any possibility that Cacomallow plays into your theory of a Geno/Chief E3 reveal, on the basis that Mallow/Smithy would be Geno costumes (for obvious reasons) and Cacodemon/Doomguy would be Chief costumes (as FPS reps)?

Assuming both are correct, Cacodemon obviously made us think Doomguy but if Chief is the FPS rep coming and you have him slotted in for the E3 Mega Man/Palutena/Ridley/Banno spot in your predictions atm, it would make sense to put the FPS costumes with the FPS character, and it would have been worked on so early because Chief is an early pass release.

If I may ask, if you do have sources, why do you tend to make these, theories about things?

Not that I am doubting you, but also, this guy had something to say about you here.


If it doesn't hurt to answer, what do you think of this?

So I was curious Fatman.. What are your current # placements for 5 of your 6 character predictions? Like you once told me you assumed Crash would be 78. Do you have a new theory on how they will be ordered or? What is your current stance on our last 5 spots in accordance with 5 of your 6 choices? I'm assuming the 6th and final of your choices could be our bonus character, which IMO will be Waluigi as a seperate character after FP2 is said and done.

Do you think we will get Geno sooner rather than later? I know Nintendo is probably going to squeeze a Pokemon in there somewhere, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong..

Hey, I saw something recently that reminded me of the rumors you were mentioning and wanted to get your input on this. Basically, a Brazilian Youtuber known as Coelho, which is/was a pretty important person in the Brazilian Game Industry (even though that's an unknown fact) posted a video today about a source that got in contact with him a while ago. There was a translation from ResetEra, but I decided to do it myself because there was some misinterpretation issues with that version. In resume, here's the info (I put my comments in parenthesis):

Things his “Source” got right beforehand:
Date and time of the July Partner Showcase 3 days before Kelios (Only one that talked about the time of the Direct, though that's easily guessable)
Something Zelda in the Partner Showcase (Coelho thought it was the Ocarina of Time trademark, but it was actually Candace of Hyrule)
Shadowdrop close to the State of Play (Pikmin 3)

Things PH, a person with sources that he mentions in the video said:
New Metroid builds off the 3DS game (Probably because MercurySteam is working on it)
New FE (Reminded me of you talking about 6/7 remasters)
3D World is the next WiiU port (Given considering how may people already said it)

Things “Source” said and are yet to come true and said to treat as rumors:
Some kind of presentation in August 10th (May be Indie World) or sometime in August (May be the Mario Direct or General)
Metroid 2D developed by a Spanish studio (Mercury Steam is located in Madrid, Spain)
New F-Zero in 2020 (Also reminded me of what you said on franchise revivals)
- Developed since 2017 by Bandai Namco
- Story Mode
- Customization
- Online Mode
2 Metroid Prime games are being developed at Retro Studios simultaneously
- The new hirings are related to the second game, not the first one
New Kingdom Hearts for the Switch (I think this was Melody of Memory)
- Was being developed originally to the 3DS
- Supposed to be an exclusive (This changed possibly when changed consoles)
New Donkey Kong is being made by an indie studio (You already said what you think of it, but this was the origin of people asking)
New Mario Strikers
- Is in development, but something delayed it’s announcement / release

Crazy things “Source” said that even Coelho doesn’t believe them:
In February, he had info about BOTW2
- Was supposed to be a December 2020 release before the pandemic
- Supposed Beta name was “The Princess’ Madness”
- Monolith is really helping out on this one
Monolith is also being responsible for another Zelda game
- Doesn’t know if it’s a remake or a port -> Could be Skyward Sword HD or Ocarina of Time remake

As a bonus, Coelho himself also confirmed about changes going on with Nintendo dates last second, but couldn't talk about any of it, lining up with what NonSpecificGuy said about the corporate shakeup at Nintendo.

My wife and I run a Halloween Facebook Event group and we're currently in our 5th season. Because Covid-19 has nuked public events for the foreseeable future, we've decided to put extra emphasis on raising money for national and local charities this season and this is the first of several in the coming months. I know not all of you are Burgers and Halloween is kind of a smelly American thing but Starlight is a fantastic charity and any help from the Smash community would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like your not only in another Blocked Content video but also 4chan!

Beat DKC 101% on the NSO in two sittings and it's just a weird reminder of how much has changed over the years.

Would you be okay with a DM?

Hi Fatman. Can you send a DM please?

I'm going to assume Ratchet (and Clank) is the Mii Costume for Sony. Makes the most sense to me.

Hey, Fatman, what do you think of this?

Do you think this gives more evidence for the Kirby rumors you be hearing?

Just so you know. It really sucks that nintendo's zigzag marketing ****ed you over. I'm confident that the big news you said are coming!

Howdy, Fatman! Would you be opposed to a quick DM? I just wanted to send something positive in your direction, and I forgot that your DMs were understandably turned off by default.

I know in this community kicking me in the face with cleats would probably rival lines at Disney World but, without any cheekiness, spoilers, winky faces, or lines of eye emojis, if you have any sort of recording equipment, you will definitely want to record your reactions because what's been going around since literally last AUGUST is that "E3" 2020 would be a legendary Direct and I think it's going to be insanely cathartic for the Nintendo community as a whole.
