If Konami ceases making games, letting other companies use its characters in cameos and guest appearances is a decent compromise.

Harada's a big enough troll to do that and then not actually announce Snake at EVO

I don't think he's a big enough troll to do that if Snake's not coming at all

Yeah, it seems like a lot of effort to negotiate the rights to use a third party character for something like that if they weren't going to be in the game.

They played us like a damn fiddle

Just to clear things up, the Snake cameo video that we showed during Tekken finals was our idea of a little joke. It was not intended to imply a character reveal, and was done on our own, without consulting Bandai Namco. Sorry for any confusion!

I'm pretty confused if this was a joke. How bad must their PR team be if they think they can make an elaborate joke about a major character like Snake joining the roster....and expect the reaction to be a bunch of laughs when it's revealed to be fake, rather than people getting pissed, especially with major third party character support already established?

For now I HAVE to assume it's them trying to cover their ass due to some part of the contract making the accidental reveal an actual problem, because the alternative is too nuts for me to beleive.

People at EVO making a joke is too nuts for you to believe? Like Bandai Namco isn't the one who "announced" Snake you do realize.

I don't beleive they could think making that joke was a good idea. I can't imagine they could have, in any scenario, thought "fake Snake announcement" was going to get laughs instead of scorn. As such, I must assume it's just a cover.

It's like if Sakurai snapped his fingers during a Smash direct and Batman started doing his "I am the Night" spiel, and then it cut off with Sakurai going lol jk. It doesn't work.

I guess it's POSSIBLE they could have been that tone deaf, but then what must they have thought when the crowd got super hyped instead of started laughing? How fast did they go from having a laugh to "oh shit we fucked up"?

They were just showing videos and warming up the crowd between sets. Harada wasn't even on stage and it wasn't supposed to be shown on the stream. It was a dumb joke but there were probably a lot more that didn't show up on stream.

If it was taken out of context and was never supposed to be shown, then I guess I can understand that.

Almost had me actually buying the game, though.

The clip never actually said Snake was joining Tekken. It was just a clip of Snake commentating on how good the Tekken tournament was. I imagine it wasn't meant to be anything more than that. The problem is that this is exactly the kind of thing one might release to hype up Snake as a DLC character so people unsurprisingly starting trying to read between the lines and saw it as a real announcement.

It definitely wasn't an accidental reveal. The contents of the video made it clear it was intended to be played after Tekken finished which was when it did play.

Wow yeah that DH tweet is YIKES. I'm putting half of the blame on the Tekken commentators. Markman kept playing coy and saying "oh that's just for the people at the venue" instead of just explaining the joke. Maybe he knew they would get in trouble if they explained the joke but at least apologize or SOMETHING. Aris was clearly in the dark so he was just as confused as everyone else, he thought it was supposed to be a legit announcement that got leaked so he kept bringing it up. Markman clearly wanted him to drop it and then like 2 games later Aris was like "so yo what was the deal with that Snake thing?".

Apparently there were other videos that played at the venue between matches throughout Sunday, but all the rest of them were more overtly related to the game being played. Just a weird thing to pick a specific non-fighting game property like that to use as a joke for the one game most likely to actually incorporate a character like that.

It's possible that appearing in Smash as a third party character requires you to sign that you won't appear in another fighting game. It would explain why we got Raiden in PSABR.

And MMX in MvCI. Even if that's a rule, I imagine Ryu and Ken would be excluded.
