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

[Blade of Evil's Bane]

Actually, the whole thing burned up and died pretty quickly.

Now it's looking like the whole thing is a hoax. And even if it is legit, he said he wouldn't datamine it anyway.

Indeed it's now confirmed to be a hoax: https://twitter.com/Warchamp7/status/1034621847692816384

There's a little bit more details on the story in this vid by Omni: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyWCgafGjTI

 

[SuperNintendoKid]

My biggest question is if he'll have a voice. What would he even sound like?

hmm... well my headcanon voice of him would be like a wiser sounding Meta Knight, but really they could go with anything. though if i wanna be honest i think he'll have telepathy like mewtwo, i really cant imagine voice coming out of that mouth and having it look natural.

 

[Kaeltor]

I hope we get some cool alt costumes for Geno.

I started taking a nap when that whole Demo thing started and when I woke up it was over and the guy had been proven fake.

Just another regular day of fake stuff going on in the end, lol

 

[Diem]

Thank goodness there's only a little more than 3 months to go before the game is out, and we're getting new information at a reasonable pace. Can't imagine what another year of fake leaks and little official information would be like.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

3 months is nothing. But if the drought continues it's going to feel like forever. But perhaps from this point they might speed up news. Really hoping there is a character reveal in September

I don't know if it has been talked about, but Yoshi's New Island main theme is this week's music update. Another week in which the "only one music entry per franchise" theory remains still.

It really just is the lack of new information on the site (or rather extremely limited new info). We’re still getting updates, so there’s a feeling we should be getting something more substantial given how past cycles have behaved.

I’m convinced that if we get a general direct that we’ll get a Smash character trailer (if not a full segment with Sakurai or the announcer) no matter what at least. Mid September seems to be the optimal and predicted time by many.

I think there’s also the whole fact that as time passes, the possibility of a higher number of newcomers decreases. To the point where 3-4 unique may be all we get, and even a little optimistic. Limited spots for those big ones in the running (Which in my own selfish way, I’m thankful most of those left I support, and also Geno is in a special place of long standing hype). It always leads to antsy behavior the closer we get to the end of speculation anyway.

Also, at least the Smash Direct gave us two unique newcomers, a ton of information overall, and the announcement we’d see a few more newcomers, so I’m at least temporarily satisfied for the more immediate future.

What is that theory exactly? Does it mean only one song from each franchise will go up on the website or is it saying each existing franchise will only get one song.

....because that doesn't seem likely at all.

I'm not expecting existing franchises to get bucketloads of songs....because the songs from Smash 4 were pretty thorough but I'm still expecting the big names (Mario, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon) to get a good number of new songs. (not to mention Xenoblade will surely get a few more songs too)

On another note, I'm not super worried about there being no time for reveals yet. For one thing reveals sped up the closer we got to the release of the last game. So I think it's likely we'll be getting character reveals in September, October and November. There's also the possibility of them dropping a character reveal trailer similar to the Robin/Lucina one.....I'm kinda expecting that to happen at least once between now and December.

It's just a theory multiple people are discussing that each franchise will only get one song uploaded on to the smash website

And a part of that is predicting new characters based on that. Mario doesn't have a song yet which people suggest means a song is going to be uploaded with a new Mario series newcomer

Like how the DKC song is "Gangplank Galleon" after K Rool was uploaded. So, if Geno is a character "Beware of the Forest Mushrooms" might come up. As there hasn't been a Mario song yet

It's just a pattern people noticed and I don't think we have enough evidence to dismiss characters based on what songs are on the site.

 

[Banjodorf]

If nothing else, I’m sure they’ll probably do a Direct in September to talk about the rest of their Fall releases and the new online service which is launching in September.

So we might get an “open and close” character announcement or something.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Not to be a buzzkill but I think Mario music pieces were some of the last ones revealed for Brawl and Smash 4 too. I almost distinctly remember us holding our breath because of this in Brawl only for it to wind up being Mushroomy Kingdom. For anyone keeping score, here are the series that haven't gotten music yet:


More food for thought, there's 14 weeks left and 19 returning franchises without a music sample on the site.

Considering there are over 800 tracks in Ultimate, I figure that they'll announce some music the next time there's a big info dump. I also think that some franchises will be sorely underrepresented in terms of music compared to others.

Yeah but that time (Dojo time, I mean) most songs were revealed with associated stages. Mario's song was revealed alongside the Mushroomy Kingdom stage iirc. This time all stages have already been revealed (YMMV about that, but at least Mario's new stage has already been revealed, that being New Donk City Hall). This time most songs come out at random times or after a character reveal of a character from that franchise.

I mean, they could update the song section with a random Mario song at any time, but as of now the theory remains undamaged.

Im uncertain whether if Geno would warrant a full direct with explanation from our Nintendo Gods OR just a reveal. If its a just a reveal with no explanation then september could be it. But I think Sakurai would want to explain maybe? hmm

I think just by virtue of him being 3rd party he'd be getting a rundown similar to Simon, he wouldn't be coming for free and Nintendo aren't going to pay for him and then not give him as big of a spotlight as possible. It also feels like he'd be more relevant to reveal in a Smash Direct as Smash fans are the ones who have been asking for him for so long, Nintendo fans who don't care much for Smash (few as they might be) might not quite understand who he even is.

i saw some directs with smash in it where sakurai was talking.
( dont you remember e3 direct? ok this was a smash direct in disguise but he can explain thing in Nintendo Direct Smash newcomer :-)

let's hope it's Geno ( alongside another with like skull kid and my favorite Dixie Kong? ..please....... :-(
It's very strange that i want more Dixie Kong than Geno...but make no mistake! when Dixie will be revealed GENO will be TOP PRIORITY.

Let's REVEAL Genxie Nokong

uggh, that image is.. unsettling.

It could be cool seeing Dixie in the game. Not excited for her myself tho.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Dixie is one of the characters I'd like to see the most. But, of course, Geno first.

I don't think they are in competition though. Dixie may end up as more or less and echo.

Your probably right on about this. Well why not! I wouldn't mind a full direct dedicated to the unveiling of Geno. lol 30 minutes of pure Geno talk. lol
So if anything in September we are looking at a reveal more than likely like a pokemon newcomer or some other one outside of bein highly requested maybe?

I never saw them as in direct competition. Im neutral regarding Dixie. =) She is more in line for coming out as a echo for Diddy Kong of course with a couple alterations.

if Snake's codecs come back, what do you think will be Geno's codec?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Probably some joke about fans wanting him in since Brawl but Square holding him back or something.

Also Snake asking if he's pinocchio and making some joke about poltergeists or something.

 

[EarlTamm]

I don't think Square would appreciate the joke. Plus, I don't think they are gonna go with that sort of "long awaited" joke, because that would fit with a lot of characters getting in this game.

If it was done lightheartedly I don't think it would be a problem

I remember reading that Sakurai had the cast of Ultimate locked down in December 2015. That's the same month and year the Geno costume was released with its own splash screen for Sm4sh. Could be a happy coincidence, but I'm wearing a tinfoil hat and believe our boy has a very strong chance this time around.

If anything its only incredible signs for Geno's inclusion in Ultimate.

Mei Ling would admire Geno's quest to restore wishes, and Snake would retort that he makes his own wishes come true on the battlefield

 

[kingkalamari]

if Snake's codecs come back, what do you think will be Geno's codec?

Psycho Mantis(Geno being controlled like Mantis controlled bodies) or Decoy Big Boss(Rocket Punch) could be brought up. Maybe Otacon to reference his fandom, or Colonel, just because I love his stoic delivery while describing Nintendo characters

 

[domriver]

So who do you guys think will be in Geno's trailer?
My predictions: Geno, Bowser, Yoshi, and Peach.

At the end of Geno's trailer, they could show a final in-game clip of Yoshi. He does his usual business untill he gets knocked out by a purple rolling egg. The egg cracks open to reveal Boshi... as an alternate skin for Yoshi, explaining why he wasn't playable in the E3 demo.

 

[Dragon lord]

Wonder how snake and the gang will say Geno's Real name, perhaps just Static or something?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

There was a "leaked" image of Geno

But if you look closely that's

So, before that spreads - It's fake

I highly doubt this was going to spread anywhere. This was the worst video I've ever seen and he should immediately close down his youtube channel

[NukeA6]

I really hope Geno gets a full set of clothes like his RPG sprite looks like. I honestly had no idea he was naked until I saw the official art. Pit got an update when he was introduced in Brawl and I'm hoping the guy in blue gets the same.

Dead sea levels if you wanna go for ratios

 

[kingkalamari]

Speaking of Codec calls, Hayter has been pretty quiet about Smash since he confirmed it was him on Twitter. Wonder if that has to do with an NDA not to spoil codecs.
