If I had to guess...probably 4chan. I don't trust much from that site, but this image...
That render reminds me of that one gif of Geno looking at a computer and then away again. Though maybe that gif was based on that render? Who knows...
I used to play the game with my cousin when he used to have it before he had to.... Throw it away because of his parents. (Don't ask me why, we still don't know to this day).
Somebody made that gif as a response to the "leaked" photo, as Geno has an eyeroll expression in the leaked photo.
I really want this model to be real because in my opinion, this is the best 3D Geno's model. Even better than the Smashified one (which reveals Geno's eyes too much in my opinion).
It's based on the render. Psycho posted the gif the other day along with the creator's tweet. Also, yes, I don't think anyone has stepped forward to claim it yet.
If not Smithy Exor seems fitting. OR THE AXEM RANGERS BOIIIIIIIIIIIIII
YOO THE AXEM RANGERS COULD LIKE JUMP IN FROM THE BACKGROUND ONE AFTER THE OTHER AS STAGE HAZARDS
All the more reason to believe Geno is in the game! It all adds up to the obvious conclusion! :DAnd on a lighter note, I know the Geno boys are used to being disappointed (I will remember your trip to JapanFatmanonice ) but one thing I do know is that all evidence points to our boy in blue.
Vergeben is legit. That much is more or less without question. He's been told multiple times by multiple people that a Square Enix character is going to be in. Now I'm not sure exactly what role at the company would allow you to have that information without knowing who specifically the character is, but he's been told it enough times that he is certain it's true. He's also said that if he said the name of the character he's heard from one source and he turned out to be wrong, there'd be hell to pay. I can think of no other character with that kind of staying power and fanbase.
Let's go into this Square Enix character concept a bit further since it leads us to some interesting outcomes. An important fact to remember going in to Ultimate is that Sakurai already licensed Geno from Square Enix. A character's likeness in the form of a costume is legally the exact same thing as the character itself. Permission has already been granted to use the character.
Now let's expand on this with some logical deductions. A Square Enix character is in. Sakurai already has permission to use Geno. Realistically speaking, it would be more of a bureaucratic difficulty to put in a SE character that wasn't Geno. They'd have to go through yet another round of negotiations and shelling out money for permission to use whatever character that was, and it's pretty clear from the content we've seen that all of the licenses SE granted Nintendo in Smash 4 have carried over to Ultimate. We've got Cloud. We've got Midgar. We've got both songs. If there were renegotiations, I sincerely doubt we'd have the same two songs only. It's pretty clear to me that whatever agreement Nintendo and Square Enix had applied to both games.
I don't think the comments made by Sakurai with regard to Geno need to be repeated for me to make my point here.
An underrated idea; I like it.
Personally, I'd like to see the Culex theme in the game.
Culex Theme is actually the boss battle music from Final Fantasy IV. Unfortunately since Nobuo Uematsu seems to be tough to work with, it seems unlikely
Smithy, Exor, Queen Valentina & Dodo, Axem Rangers so many potential bosses. I still want my Bowser's Keep Tower with Exor in the middle or background watching the fight. :D
That's just the final fantasy 4 boss theme, m8
i imagine a meta knight kind of voice with a bit of reverb
On this topic, it never really occurred to me as a kid just how horrifying the final boss was. You basically fall into Hell where it's heavily implied that you're just right outside a massive furnace where the walls and floors are made out of Smithy faces, which brings up the super uncomfortable questions of: did Smithy make these and, even if he didn't, who did and, ultimately, who created Smithy? On top of this, Smithy went from a smug almost suit and tie mob boss to a literal eye bulging psychopath driven insane by his own anger. The animations and sounds also heavily imply that HE MOLDS HIS OWN FACE WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER and does this throughout the fight without so much as a wince. Keep in mind that this is all happening in a Mario game and, up until that point, the weirdest thing that ever happened in the franchise was Wario getting a bucket stuck on Mario's head. Excuse me for being a Boomer, but this all just adds to the pile to why this game was so damn surreal and memorable when it came out in 1996.
I really do believe this is the best boss music in gaming. I played Final Fantasy 4 first, so when Super Mario RPG came out, and I fought Culex, I was blown away that it had the same music. Still gives me chills.
I want a medley with both phases of the Smithy battle. If I can't have both, then just the second phase.
Crono I don't see happening at all because while his game is popular HE isn't popular. everyone who plays it seems to call one of the other party members their favorite. and it really varies from person to person. I like Frog, they like Marle. there isn't a single character that could take the leading amount of requests. and I don't think that many people would have voted Crono since he is the least popular of the cast. So I'm sure his ballot numbers are on the smaller end
okay but still believe in general Japan would be the vast majority of his votes and Takamaru shows that Sakurai cares about world wide appeal. Chrom was mentioned as someone more popular in Japan but he still has a level of support in the west as well.
- Forest's Mushrooms because obviously. Not only is it a calm and enjoyable soundtrack, but as you already said, It's widely accepted as "Geno's theme", so ya.
My whole thing is why does he care if he's done for; this isn't his job or something.
I would love to hear Ian Sinclair as Geno's VA. I've always imagined Geno with a somewhat gentle voice like his. You can hear an example of him roughly halfway into this clip.
Because, in this day and age, being hated online can lead to harassment offline including doxxing and people trying to find you because, in a warped way, they feel justified in doing it. People can mess with your job, your friends, your family, etc which is why high profile people who do these things will scrub their accounts if they wind up with false info.
I guess, but there are a million fake Smash leaks a day, so I don't get why people would single out a guy who just got a few characters right; I don't think that would ever happen, and I guess if it really was an issue, he shouldn't be leaking info in the first place.
I think the reason the ballot isn't free for us to view the results is bacause they want the freedom to choose who they want from the ballot. if Goku was number one and everyone saw that and they didn't pick him there would be HUGE backlash! that is a lot of bad press.
I dunno... I know I wouldn't just sit on a bunch of private info on the new Smash provided to me by a trusty source. I don't think you can blame the guy given the circumstances.
Exactly. It's all about keeping the hype train rolling until release. Otherwise, they would've just told us everything back at E3, and if they did that, where would we be now?
Truth be told, I was TERRIFIED of Smithy's second form as a kid. It literally scared me. I remember after finishing the game, I had difficulty getting the image out of my head for a while after. It was his neutral face that scared me the most--those eyes and that mouth...
Yeah, this is true too. Me, I'm a Robo man myself. Then probably Lucca and Frog. Crono is actually fourth on my list, mostly because of that thing he does near the end of the game...you know the one.
Don't see it happening. BUT I WOULD LOVE THAT! Frog and Robo were my goto party members in my playthrough. and actually Robo does strangely make a lot of sense as a Geno Echo xD huh that's a weird thought in general thinking of characters that could Echo Geno. feel that list would be rather small.Truth be told, I was TERRIFIED of Smithy's second form as a kid.

But it certainly does hurt that he's a pretty generic RPG silent protagonist. It's hard to think of any truly unique moves he could bring. The only reason he would be added is because he represents Chrono Trigger as a whole...which we know is not enough for Sakurai. Newcomers need to bring something to the table.
And that's where our puppet boy shines.
Edit:Oooh! Just thought of something! What about Robo as a Geno echo? He could theoretically do many of Geno's moves. I know there's no cross-series echoes...but it would be kinda neat, honestly.
I’ve seen a lot of people claim that Mallow could echo Geno, which would just make no sense. Yeah, they’re from the same game, but they’re vastly different characters, how could Mallow echo Geno?
The other thing I noticed about the box theory. The proportions look very off for the box that is being discussed. It is more upright where almost every other bundle is looked at where the base is longer than the height. Even this image from IGN looks more like a normal. Like I'm clearly looking way too far into this, but I feel like that's what this whole Box Theory is. I actually feel significantly better about it all. It's an obvious placeholder.
