Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

[EarlTamm]

Depends. I find it 'old' (I'm 27, for the record) in the sense that my family's women tend to live pretty short lives, about 50-60 years. It makes me think, "Have I really lived half, if not more than half, of my life already?" which makes that feeling of, "Oh god, I really am getting up there," sink in.

… Wow, and here I am worrying about how I am doomed to follow my genetics and be a victim of hair loss sooner rather than later.

 

[AugustusB]

Also, I did not expect a musing about the fatality of impending death from Ovaltine of all people.

You and me both brother. As a 30 year old going on 31 in August, I would have expected that from me lol.

Also the image of Geno, dead pan delivering what Ovaltine said has been burned into my head.

 

[GoodGrief741]

Now I'm starting to wonder if I'm the youngest in the thread.

Happy birthday Gojira!

Yikes, I didn't expect this kind of reaction, haha. I guess I'm just so used to the idea of death (long story, not going into it here, too personal) that saying something like that is no big deal to me, even though it's... probably not so for other people. Guess that's different perspectives for you. If anything, it at least tells me to live my life to the fullest, because I never know when it'll be snuffed out.

Probably not. I think I have you beat, at least(Won't go into specifics because privacy).

Samers. I'm 14, 15 in September. You?

My genetics are pretty great on both sides so the joke I make about me waiting until my 80's or 90's for Geno in Smash might actually happen.

Going back to an earlier conversation, the shape of the window is pure coincidence and has technically looked like that since Risky's Revenge. Here's how it looked in Half Genie Hero:

You beat me, I'm 19.

We youngsters shall carry the torch of Genoism for years to come!

 

[Ovaltine]

I'll probably be dead by then, so send a missive after I've been spirited to let me know how Geno is when he's in Smash, you hear?!

Lol its all good. The idea just popped into my head and I just laughed a bit.

Also I understand that notion of death not being a big deal. Grew up in a small town, cousins family runs a funeral home, knew about death at a reeeeally young age. So I get'cha. You are good Madam Ovaltine :D

Trust me, I think hair loss is the only bad thing about my genetics.

And yes, tis a coincidence that has been well pointed out in the Shantae thread. I am just glad people were so gung-ho about it for the time it was seen as probable. I feel Shantae will be a mainstay for the future of Smash speculation.

God, I'm getting old. Just turned 29 today

Happy Birthday!

Maybe you'll become a star Spirit and then you can possess a puppet and BE Geno.

 

[MattX20]

Happy Birthday!

Thanks, Maxie. Also GoodGrief741

 

[kiteinthesky]

I am 33 years old today -- my birthday -- and I have no idea how to feel about that.

My age will never curb my enthusiasm for Smash speculation or Geno support though.

Happy Birthday! Geno Bros til we die!

Or when Geno gets in Smash and is in another Mario game...

Another Genobro(sis?) birthday! Happy birthday!!

Happy birthday to you as well! This is turning out to be quite the party.

 

[valkiriforce]

All of you are still young; I don't know about the rest of you but 29 and 33 still sounds young to me.

Happy Birthday peeps!

Happy birthdays, one and all.

 

[Axelocke]

You know... if Shantae *does* happen to sorta make her way into smash...

...I wouldn't mind Geno being an epic closer for the fighter pass.

 

[EricTheGamerman]

I fall into the mid-range of the age groups it seems. I'm 22, and will turn 23 later in the year. It's interesting to see how wide of a range we do seem to have attracted to our little thread haha.

 

[SmashHype64]

He's a spirit...

 

[TheCJBrine]

He's a spirit...

That's why he possesses a doll.

 

[SmashHype64]

That's why he possesses a doll.

And that why he won't be playable...

 

[TheCJBrine]

And that why he won't be playable...

whatever you say my dude.

 

[SmashHype64]

whatever you say my dude.

Same for ya

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Eh, we don't know what's going on with Spirits overall. Maybe the Spirits and Fighter's Pass were decided upon(that is, Sakurai went over the Spirits and removed those he planned for the FP as well as removing PP's Spirit) around the same time. Maybe Spirits were decided way before.

They don't mean too much, even with that kind of timing. Simply having a Spirit alone is not a death knell to anyone in itself. The idea he removed those Spirits he intends to have playable(or later shown off to help promote a game) does have some weight to it.

Besides, if he does make Geno playable... you simply have two Geno spirits. Well, that was easy. You just need a different file name. Welp. They don't even change names for DLC trophies, and isn't there more than one Pikachu spirit as is? Same with Eevee? With the same name? There's not exactly a lot going for Spirits beyond a leak of when the Fighter's Pass characters were started to be worked on, but see above why that information is actually useful compared to the silly idea that Spirits automatically equal disconfirmation. Them having a small gameplay role won't mean much either, as WoL is handled oddly as is. I can't even remember if you have new Battles added for DLC(I'm pretty sure it's not the case at all) so that's pretty irrelevant. You simply can just bring your character through, but no changes otherwise. Spirit Boards is a decent thought, but a lot of games are hardly lacking in Spirit options, even franchises heavily represented like Mario. Not even counting how Geno has tons of SMRPG stuff to think of alone. Or just using some different artwork of similar spirits we have already if it's easier.

Fixed the typos, yeish. ._.;

 

[SmashHype64]

Nah he's a spirit the dream is ded

 

[Lamperouge]

And that why he won't be playable...

Mewtwo had a trophy in Smash 4 before being revealed as DLC.

 

[SmashHype64]

Mewtwo had a trophy in Smash 4 before being revealed as DLC.

People are still using that excuse? seriously?
anyway,trophies=/=spirits
Both lucas and mewtwo were playable before anyway...

 

[Ovaltine]

Here we go again. Just report the troll and move on, guys. Not worth the time.

 

[TheCJBrine]

The spirit excuse doesn't work anymore tbh, if it even worked at all.

I mean, Sakurai said DLC was decided without the developers' awareness, so even if no Spirit characters become playable, it's not because they're Spirits.

 

[ForsakenM]

Hey guys, remember what Datboigeno and KCCHIEFS27 and I have said before.

This is the stuff we are talking about. This is someone who doesn't want to talk about why we like Geno or has mild interest in the character.

This is someone who just wants to rain on our parade like we are Trump or something.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Report and move on. And no, we don't tolerate trying to drive anyone out. Including those who are detractors. If the user is an issue, the moderation will handle it(and we prefer the reports as well because it calls attention to the problem fast and easily. Sometimes issues take a while to be addressed due to timezones and other private issues that cannot be said in public).

Likewise, let's not talk about other users, period. No matter who they are. Targeting a user only makes the thread uninviting. So knock it off.

 

[Lamperouge]

I took a glance at his posting history and discovered that he's been in this thread before and did something similar to his attempts now.

 

[AugustusB]

Mark it on the calendars, it has been 0 days since someone willing came into the thread just to say 'lol he ded, they not playble eva'

Though, we shouldn't target, but certainly report so people like Verde Coeden Scalesworth can take care of the problem.

 

[SmashHype64]

This is giving me flashbacks to the first time i used smashboard...
"you're a troll for saying that X character won't be in even if you still gave justifications!!!"

i only said that he's a spirit therefore he won't be playable...
i didn't mock him or his fans...
