He probably won't be in fighter pass 1 but a revival is possible. Then he can get in for fighter pass 2.

>Banjo's are considered Brave in folklore So exactly what I said, "Only retarded people have ever thought that (Brave was Banjo)" Banjo's chances are fine without being Brave and deluding yourself with weak """evidence""" won't change the outcome if he isn't in.
I don't see why you're against evidence that helps Banjo. Anything that helps his chances is good in my book.
Josiah Morris
>I don't see why you're against evidence that helps Banjo. Anything that helps his chances is good in my book. You're actually delusional and think that surrounding yourself with shaky and outright false evidence affects the chances of them being included. Go outside.
There's plenty of actual legit things going on for Banjo and Kazooie. You don't need a security blanket of lies.

*deep sigh* >Personal backing of Phil Spencer Phil Spencer did not decide who was in the fighters pass. Plenty of people would be fine with their characters in Smash. Phil Spencer is not the obstacle at hand nor do his graces improve Banjo's chances. NEXT! >Massive fan demand Guess who else has massive fan demand? Goku, Spongebob, and probably some capeshit hero. Nintendo are picking the fighters, Sakurai just selects from what they give him. Nintendo nor even Sakurai give a shit about the ballot anymore. Joker should show this to you seeing as how he's emblematic of the fighters pass. >The last big seller of a Nintendo console not in smash Just when I think Banjies can't get anymore embarrassing, they never cease to amaze me. Listen, that "big seller" was 20 years ago. Banjo is dead at this point. It sells worse and worse with each successive title. It's not a first party game. There's no benefit in promoting this other than appealing to a vocal minority who has already bought the game. >Confirmed appearing at E3 thanks to Exquisite, officially relevant A figurine does not confirm a revival, contrary to how desperate Banjo bois are jumping on this. Even the Twitter Banjies realize they need to be skeptical of this. Just because other figurines had promotional tie-ins doesn't mean this one does, and that's something PapaGenos brought up himself in his video dissecting this twitter post. Even HE realizes they could just by trying to capitalize on E3 hype season to get some nostalgia sales. I know you may think it's the smoking gun for Banjo's revival, but this is going to blow up in your face big time Banjies. Screencap it if you don't believe me, I encourage you. That's how confident I am there wont be a revival. >VR plant leak Ah yes, the VR plant leak with the disclaimer that the leaker knows absolutely nothing about Smash at this point.
This hysterical confirmation bias is just shaping up to be another Grinch-tier disaster for you guys.
PapaGenos has a new leaker that got a few predictions right, unrelated to Smash. At the end of a discord screencap papagenos asks him who he thinks is in, and the leaker says "if i had to guess, banjo", and PapaGenos has to throw in the disclaimer that that source has no direct sources for Smash but should know the contents of the E3 direct at least 24 hours beforehand.
Banjies are trying to spin it as if it's a positive for Banjo when all it really is is lip service to PapaBanjos himself.
Julian Murphy
leaker that said fire piranha plant would come to tennis aces and a vr mode would come to smash, along with a couple other things that ended up true. he SPECULATED that the e3 smash reveals would be erdrick and banjo, but he doesn't actually know
>literal-who company makes a toy for children >multiple e-celebs say whatever gets them attention >nintendo gets one microsoft """exclusive""" that was already playable on mac and linux anyway, rosterfag autists act like both companies are practically merging because of this >literally the same nonsense argument that erdrickfags use OMG HE'S IN!!!!!
I know, I know, I must sound so CRAZY right now to you guys! Just be patient buddy and you'll understand soon enough.
Go ahead and keep making fools out of yourself. Get fully invested in this figurine. It will be a riot when it just ends up being Nostalgia bait and nothing more after Microsoft's conference comes and goes with no Banjo.
I'm sure you'll be getting an update from Exquisite Games in the next few days. I doubt they were expecting having a soldier of autists breathing down their neck over a figurine teaser though. They're likely scared of what will happen when they tell you the truth.

I tried Banjo. I never left the first area but it felt really slow and kind of clunky. Much worse than Mario 64 did. I was surprised because the Donkey Kong games felt much better to play than the Mario games of the same era. Does it ever get better?

Aiden Roberts
wouldn't a new banjo toy mean he's less likely to get into smash. since if he were in smash he'd get an amiibo.
Is it..could this really b-be.. B-banjo? B-B-B-Banjo?? Holy fuck this can't be happening is this real--
BANJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY FUCK IT'S BANJO THE BEAR HOLY FUCK I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS I'VE WANTED THIS FOR SO LONG. HAHAHA THIS IS THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE I'VE WAITED 20 YEARS FOR THIS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE BEAR AND BIRD IS BACK!
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HOLY FUCK BASED DUDE! HOLY CRAP THEY LOOK SO FUCKING GOOD YES HELL YES HELL YEAH FUCK YEAH IT'S BANJO THE BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BANJOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Steve, Master Chief, and even Rash are likelier than Banjo. Why would Nintendo or Sakurai pick that dead cereal mascot with no new games coming out over popular and relevant characters? Rare doesn't give a shit about Banjo anymore. Nintendo doesn't give a shit about Banjo anymore. Microsoft doesn't give a shit about Banjo and never did. Only a vocal minority stuck in the past still gives a shit about that dumb bear who unironically has "GUH-HUH!" as his stupid catchphrase. Grow up and get better taste in characters instead of being emotionally attached to a fucking cereal mascot.

>microsoft reps Do us all a favor and don't contaminate the roster.
OH LOOK, WHAT CRINGY CHILDREN! SEE THEM SHITPOST, WATCH THEM MEME HOW I HATE THOSE SEETHY STEVIES, OH HOW MUCH THEY MAKE ME SCREAM I'VE GOT A LITTLE SEEEECRET, THAT'LL MAKE 'EM REALLY CRY IT'S A NASTY KIND OF MAGIC, FROM A NASTY KIND OF GUY THIS INVITE'S MADE TO ORDER, BUT IT ISN'T TO BE READ WHEN THEY OPEN UP THIS LETTER, THEY'RE SUCKED INSIDE INSTEAD TO THE MOST UNPLEASANT PLACE THEY'VE EVER SEEN! THE MAGIC LABYRINTH OF I.M. MEEN! VERY SCARY AND CONFUSING DESTINATION OF MY CHOOSING MAGIC LABYRINTH OF I.M. MEEN!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING, arschlöcher! Just giving your daily reminder we're another day closer to Edward Richtofen (yes, THE Edward Richtofen from the incredibly popular FPS series Call of Duty) getting confirmed in the biggest gaming extravaganza that is Nintendo's Super Smash Bros Ultimate! Make sure you grab your Ray Guns and guzzle down your Juggernog for the upcoming Fighter Pass when our hero Richtofen and the Primis crew make their mark on destiny!
>B-but the leaks said Doomguy would be the FPS rep
Oh no no, Anonmyous. You really think that the talented Masahiro Sakurai would deny himself the opportunity to work with a cultural landmark series like Call of Duty? Unlike Doom, CoD is beloved all across the world, it is the single most popular FPS of all time as well as most influential. No one outside of the US cares about boomer shooters.
>b-but Banjo and Master Chief would be better Western reps, e-everyone knows who they are
I barely know who these people are, unlike Richtofen (or any CoD character desu) which has people from toddlers to old men like me quickly recognizing it! The franchise is a staple of the American entertainment history! Now I don't know about vergebens or whoever this MasterOfHyrule is but I can guarantee to you that you just can't trust everything you read on the internet! As far as I know it could be a scheme by Dr. Monty or the Shadowman to get you all stuck in a loop.
See you fellow CoDchads this E3 Reach for Juggernog tonight!
Tbh anything Banjo Kazooie related announced at E3 would be dope. A Banjo Fourie, Banjo Remasterie, Banjo Kazooie in Smash, a Rare Replay port, all outcomes would be an abolute win.
This. If the figure means anything, it's likely a new game/remake, and I'll be very happy with that even if Steve gets into Smash as a tradeoff
Xavier Allen
Once you learn more moves you'll never ever move as Banjo Don't know why (maybe it's because I'm replaying it on my n64) but it feels different than from an emulator, same with mario 64 the controls feel better with the three-legged controller
>All other figurines were made after the related game/movie was revealed to the public >Somehow this random merch company has insider info about unrevealed information why
Christian Wood
Yep. Same here. I'd prefer Smash since I know Sakurai would do them right, but if they can manage a sequel/remaster without it looking atrocious, that'd be just as good for me.
If Steve getting into smash spirals us into a time line where we get a new Banjo Kazooie game, I'd be all for it. Let that soulless blocky peice of shit become bottom tier garbage, I'll be completely satisfied with a Banjo Kazooie remaster.
Aaron Wright

Jordan Watson
Some guy leaked Shovel Knight DLC, Cadence of Hyrule's release date, Smash Bros.'s VR mode, and Fire Piranha Plant in Mario Tennis perfectly He said that he speculates that Banjo and Erdrick are in, but he isn't sure TL;DR his opinion on Smash means fuck all
Evan Young
everything aside... yikes.
Benjamin Evans
they release figures to coincide with releases crash for for n sane trilogy spyro for reignited iron man for infinity war plus they entered a twitter conversation talking about hoping banjo's in samsh and teased it
Owen Turner

Grayson Rodriguez
>insider >papagenos
Christian Allen
Most of the Cable Guy figures are usually tie-in merch that would coincide with a new release of a movie/or game >Crash Bandicoot for his N sane trilogy >Spyro for his remaster >Sonic for Mania >Iron Man for Endgame. You get the idea. Plus they also tweeted this response to PapaGenos, which is the image you can see here. This led many people to speculate something big could be coming for Banjo Kazooie.
So what does this have to do with Smash? Banjo getting a new game / port != Banjo in Smash
Logan Ross
>they release figures to coincide with releases crash for for n sane trilogy spyro for reignited iron man for infinity war No shit, user? Everyone knew those three things were getting release. Merch companies would ideally get the rights for that shit so they can release their merch right on release.
Aaron Reed
>VR Plant Leak Explain
Brody Johnson
So what was actually found in the new files? Other than the fake leak I mean
That’s not “r*ddit spacing.” Way to out yourself as new.
Noah Russell
So is Rayman stuck in the Battlefield stage yes or no?
Aiden Torres
nothing. at least yet. it seems like they finally learned how to scrub things properly
Jaxon Baker
It actually plays a lot more like Banjo than any other Mario game.
Dominic Garcia
Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Sonic Manio and Endgame were all things that had been released and people were looking forward to. Merch companies are obviously going to capitalize on recent releases.
That doesn't explain why this merch company suddenly has fucking insider information about the contents at E3.
Angel Wood
It may have nothing to do with Smash Brothers. But it could have something to do with a potential Banjo Kazooie related project announcement. And If you think about, a new Banjo game for the Switch would only increase his chances for future DLC or Smash 6.
Joseph Jenkins
>But it could have something to do with a potential Banjo Kazooie related project announcement. Or maybe they just wanted to make a figurine of a popular character? Why would this random ass company know anything about unreleased shit?
Jackson Jenkins
They would if they were commissioned to make a figure to promote something. Take that to some consideration. Just putting it out there.
Jace Brooks
They would know about unreleased shit if the merch they made was made to promote said unreleased shit. But it could be what you pointed out earlier, not ruling out that possibility.
Chase Barnes
>would only increase his chances for future DLC or Smash 6. So what does this have to do with the Smash DLC at E3
Thomas Ortiz
So by using the same logic as the people who say that Erdrick is now deconfirmed because the 5chan leak is fake, we can now finally say Sora is deconfirmed because this leak is fake.
Not much. Just pointing out a probability that could occur if there was a new Banjo game but hes absent from the fighters pass.
Luke Powell
Well e3 is close by and I just wanna say, whoever gets confirmed or deconfirmed.... I fucking hate all of you, this is the worst fanbase on Yea Forums Why the fuck does this autistic shitflinging MATTER Eat shit, you’re all fucking faggots and I hope none of your dumbass characters get in
So why is it worth mentioning when it comes to Banjo being in Smash this E3
Jace Martin
A character looking around as their idle animation is fucking amateur to the max. Looks fucking stupid and makes the character look airheaded. There's a reason why no character in Smash has an idle animation like that.
If they were commissioned to make this figure, then they wouldn't be showing it off before E3. Or at all. Why would Microsoft event want one of these controller holding figures in the first place? How does that promote the new project?
Andrew Cox
Why not.
Aaron Bailey

>Listen, that "big seller" was 20 years ago.
And Duck Hunt was what? 30-40, with 0 modern relevant games? And yet they got in, because he's an iconic character of an important period of video-gaming history.
Banjo was an extremely important player in the N64 era - and Fifth Gen gaming is Retro nowdays. His modern relevance is, well, irrelevant - he's getting in as a nostalgia homage.
Jordan Lee
Duck Hunt got in because it would have been fun to have a silly cartoon dog and duck.
they technically have't shown it yet just teased to get people interested (people who want banjo in smash apparently) it would promote a remaster for xbox

Either way, Banjo wins. Stevefags kept clinging to 'He's dead, irrelevant' and this was the final nail in the coffin.
Adam Evans
Or, since the company made the Crash, Sonic, and Spyro for their remakes and new games, they're doing the same for Banjo. That can't possibly be it, right?
Ian Morales
>Still trying to claim a random merch company is going to have insider information about E3
Cooper Jones
Oh, that possibility is there. Where Banjo fags are going wrong is they're assuming that's the case.

Julian Perry

All I see is another Banjoid jumping to conclusions. What is this exactly supposed to prove again?
Banjoids are constantly shitting on other people for "m-muh patterns", but then conveniently use that same argument when it fits their agenda. Sad.

Keep on digging Banjoids. Just realize it's going to be impossible to claw your way out of that hole by the time you're done. I hope you're all okay with being buried alive this E3~

Jayden Collins
Steve should be the last thing you're worrying about honey. He'll be coming, don't worry.
Xavier Nelson
Thanks for the new band name.
Matthew Ramirez
Then they'll just shit-post about something else. What you guys don't seem to grasp, is that the Refusteves don't even care about Steve. If he doesn't get in, big fucking whoop, it doesn't effect them. All that means is that they can switch sides and shit-post Minecraftfags relentlessly. Perks of an anonymous image board.
Sure he will. Just like he was gonna be in the base roster. Wait. That was Isabelle. And like he was going to be one of the final three Oh wait, Incineroar, Ryu and Piranha Plant. Just like he was going to be revealed at Minecon. Oh wait.... JUST LIKE HE WAS GOING TO BE THE FIRST DLC! Wait...Joker... HE WAS GONNA BE REVEALED AT MINECON TO 2019 Wait... no he wasn't.
I forgot when leakers said Steve was gonna be in base roster before, and then Isabelle took his spot. Lmfao.
Thomas Wood
Imagine if there is no character reveal at e3
Liam Diaz
>no Smash Annoucement >Banjo is said to get a remake Eh, will be cool. Introduce a new generation to Banjo.
Owen Russell
Yeah, same thing with Crump. When he gets kicked out next year people are going to be shocked at the sheer number of people that suddenly switched sides to mock them to the extent it's going to be accused of being the largest shill campaign of all time, but the reality is most people here don't truly like him and are just in it for the shitposting. Those few diehard genuine supporters are going to go fucking insane.
Blake Fisher
Frankly you'd have a way better case if you ditched this shit and just show that the slide brave has is nearly 1:1 with banjo's
Carson Sullivan
If this signified nothing whatsoever wouldn't the company say so, and not imply it did represent something significant?
I HAVE CHORTLES! The cries of the boo hoo of Stevefans sing to the heavens of Fawful's ears! IT MAKE MY SPINE HAVE THE TINGLES! They make the claim of demand to be in the brothers of smash, BUT GET IN THEY WILL NOT! IT GIVES ME GREAT GLEE! I HAVE MANY CHORTLES!
Banjo has had three good games: Banjo Kazooie, the GBA one, and Banjo-Pilot.
Julian Wood
You people are the strangest to me. You're in every one of these threads, you make the same joke every time, you don't get any responses because nobody even thinks it's funny or interesting enough to acknowledge, and yet you're still back in the next thread to try again. It's like you think the only factor in your lack of acknowledgment is timing, and one of these days, you'll get the post at just the right time, then you'll get dozens and dozens of replies like you always dreamed of. It's just kind of sad.
Parker Morales
one prediction the VR Plant leaker said was smash related: VR mode in 3.1.0, and that was true. their smash character stuff is speculation for now, but they did correctly get something for smash already.
BANJO. YOU THERE. BANJO. BANJO, QUIT ALL THIS ROSTERFAGGING. DO YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN GET IN SMASH BEFORE I DO? HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO PREDATE ME WHEN I AM ALREADY IN?
Duck hunt was the official retro character of a previous game. He couldn’t be MORE different from banjo.
Parker Perry
What the point in arguing if you trolling faggolas only come here to stir up trouble? You Blockheads only seek to raid threads. I'm not the user you replied to BTW.
Erdrick is living in your head rent free nobody in this thread was talking about him.
Elijah Turner
And you faggots don't? Remember May 17th? You morons were so confident your meme Blockhead would get in. All you got was some shitty mobile game and a trailer for Minecon.
What about pic related? You shitposted the fuck out of this one, yet nothing came of it. You bastards are worse than Banjofags, yet you all act above it all. Worthless, the whole lot of yah.
So why does Banjo become to exception to this? All the others got Cable guy merch leading up to announcements, so why is Banjo suddenly just a one time thing? Bias is a hell of a drug.
lol and people still believe files can't be manipulated leave other people believing lies
I'll still believe the original Brave files and while I don't think Banjo is it or think Erdrick might have a slight chance, there's still something fishy about Brave altogether I don't think leakers actually wants us to know about that involves neither of these two. For all we know, Banjo and Erdrick might in fact be both a red herring and some sort of possible clue for Brave.
Not all heroes wear capes, but what if Erdrick is implying Brave is a legendary hero/champion of sorts or a protagonist that is somewhat linked to the Banjo & Kazooie series, even if somewhat? Could Brave be from a entirely different game that is only linked to Banjo & Kazooie due to previous people having worked on it?
You know I thought about it a while and there’s probably actually no way in hell that any Japanese characters will be revealed at E3. Why the fuck do you guys think we got Ridley there last year, someone who Japan didn’t want at all? We’re most likely getting a western characters at E3, so if Erdrick or any other Japan character is in the fighter’s pass, most likely they won’t be revealed at E3 unless they reveal 2 fighters there.
Julian Morris
Reminder that Geno was consistently very low in almost all polls during the time of the official ballot, and that didn't change until after he got a Mii Fighter costume. Sakurai probably realised that no one actually cared about him and that he was just a Brawl fad, so he's probably just going to continue ignoring him.
Zachary Torres
That's not Pac-Man you faggot. Also what is their name and where are they from.
Can every one of you faggots stop for just one second and think objectively? Your obscure picks are fucking ridiculous. Think about your mom, or your sister or even your girlfriend. If you showed them characters from the smash roster, would they recognize them? My normie friends who play games, not just NFL or NHL, were left scratching their heads when Joker was announced and understandably. Introducing another fucking anime character with a sword that's even MORE obscure is a terrible business move and there is no way that this will happen with Nintendo chosing the characters. These are the picks that are at least known to normies. No fucking Reimu, which I've never even heard of before this shithole of a board brought it up, no fucking Ashley, no fucking Travis Touchdown. Just ACTUAL POSSIBILITIES regarding their appeal to the mass:
>Rayman >Banjo and Kazooie >Steve from Minecraft >Halo (no, people would not be able to name a doom slayer with a generic space armor, fuck off) >Crash Bandicoot >MAYBE Spyro but even that's reaching >Unironically Waluigi >Unironically Goku and Naruto >Unironically a Blizzard rep >Dovahkin >Tetris block or whatever >Carl Johnson >Tails and Eggman
Anything that isn't on this list is considered obscure and niche as fuck and should not even be brought up, stop with this shit
Why are you faggots so obsessed with Smash? Why are you faggots so obsessed with this shitty lame bear? OMG OMG BUUUNHGIEEEE TOOTIEEE FROOOTIEE Kill yourself you smelly obese retards
The largest problem that I've always seen with Banjo's inclusion in Smash is his most fundamental problem. Which is that of Microsofts ownership. And while the relations between Nintendo and Microsoft might be decent at this present time, one has to consider the future.
One of the biggest and most striking selling points of Ultimate was that it would feature every single fighter that has ever been present in Smash before, with no exceptions. This would mean that Ultimate wasn't just a massive developmental undertaking, but also a massive legal undertaking as well, for securing the rights to past characters, and more importantly... future characters.
Because when the next Nintendo console/handheld hybrid iteration is released, rumours and calls for a new Smash game will inevitably emerge and sure enough, a new title will most likely eventually be announced. And the pressure will be on Nintendo to ensure for its ravenous fanbase that the same standard of roster inclusion will be maintained, with all the characters they've ever released, just as they did for Ultimate.
So Nintendo, logically, should be expected to be moderately conservative with the characters it chooses. This is why they prefer to arrange deals with Japanese developers, and pertinently, developers they've worked and work with regularly. It's less hassle and it's likely everyone knows each other anyway.
Microsoft doesn't really fit that bill. They're on another side of the world from the true decision makers at Nintendo. And owing to the simple fact that console championing and executive meddling is a fickle business already within all sides of the industry, one can only wonder just when the relations between our "friendly" corporations would sour, thus making any future inclusion of Banjo in any Smash iteration, or even a port/remaster a legal mess to achieve.
This is why I don't think Banjo has a realistic chance.
Adam Walker
Banjo-deniers, you do realize this is a battle you cannot win, right? Even if Banjo is not revealed as a DLC, tell me with a straight face he will NEVER ever come to Smash next time, or the time after that
Caleb Peterson
... Banjo was in Sonic and Sega Allstars Racing you dweeb. Its a dead bear mascot no one uses anymore not Charles Barkley.
At this point, Rabbids overshadowed the fuck out of Rayman. He has his fanbase, yes, but in terms of relevancy so far, Ubisoft has Rabbids more as a mascot than Rayman, who is admittedly used every now and then to remind us he still exists and in case they want to, throw us the old-fashioned "he's back, better than ever!" even though asides from its truly devoted fanbase, not anyone else really cares about him in a bigger approach and really just there to remind us that they have a franchise they use every now and then to experiment on that never truly feels consistent.
