I did not know this!

whos gonna animate it? warner bros? illumination?
I'm pretty sure they confirmed it to be Illumination which I'm hesitant on. I would prefer for it to be made by Dreamworks to be honest since Dreamworks and Universal are connected and Nintendo world or whatever will be put up in Universal Studios but I guess this works too.

At EVO, we'll get a Smash newcomer. The trailer shows Staraptor flying in from nowhere, at first disappointing us all...only for the camera to pan up and show Geno riding it.

Yep. Something that will be announced and, based on past hints, this heavily entails in a Direct. The species may not matter but, again, we don't know but seeing his past hints I feel like it's deliberate somehow.
So, all they've said is that it means something and have given no hints/nor ideal as to what it means.

I know this person is generally considered reliable and well respected by you all, but I really don't like the way this person goes about their "leaking." I know I've said that before, but is there any good reason for them to approach the whole situation with such a cheeky demeanor that requires such breadcrumb following and rationing of even basic "Is this something or not" information?

Guys... You don't have to be an ornithologist to know what a starling is... Can we PLEASE not insult his intelligence? You might as well argue that cardinals, chickadees, sparrows, and blue jays are super esoteric too. Why couldn't THAT be the hint? The dude did Puzzle Witch for Banjo; that's not exactly digging deep either.

So uh, *cough* I have something to announce... *taps microphone* Sabi's source has just confirmed in the last minute that the starling is, in fact, a hint of something that's coming. That is all.
I forgot who did this, but man that person is hilarious and a genius - I feel like the starling is aligning!

Geno's shadowed figure stands before Mario, then he takes off his costume a la Dedede in K Rool's trailer, revealing Geno to be a Mii Gunner.

Then the Gunner takes off their costume, revealing Megaman.

Then Megaman takes off his, revealing a horse.

Then the horse costume is removed, revealing a broom.


Then the broom turns into Geno.



But the broom was also a mop.

That is Mallow. In a Geno costume. Also, Boshi is cosplaying as Yoshi.

Just wanted to ask this since I'm not pretty far in SMRPG to understand it:

How does the Starling connect with Geno?

Because they're FUN and like to have FUN and play videogames to have FUN and speculate for FUN because they're a FUNNY guy who does FUNNY things because FUN is supposed to be FUN. I don't know how many times I have to say this.

I don't think bird species are super common knowledge like that to be entirely fair. It could have intentionally been a Starling, but I wouldn't call Starlings exactly one of the classic birds that people learn growing up either (and to be fair, maybe that's just me, but I'd struggle to find any people I know that could name drop a starling outside of my biologist friends lol)

Star-:Geno is a star.
-ling: refers to something small.
Star-ling: a small star.
Ling- also refers to belonging or relating to something like in the case of Earthling or underling. It's super on the nose but, given one of his Banjo hints was literally a bear and bird in the same shot, I wouldn't put it past him.

Tangents like these is why I love this thread. It can relieve some tension

I disagree with this. I have no idea if the image represents Geno, but I can tell you that I knew it was a starling right away. It might be where I live, but starlings are pests. They’re everywhere.

Confirmed, Geno’s the most annoying zoner in the game.

I'm hoping we get lucky and he posts a second image like with banjo, having to argue over all the ambiguity is exhausting

I honestly hope they poke fun at all the people who claimed spirits deconfirm. By showing Geno's spirit going back into his body.

Well that's exactly how he came to be in SMRPG, right? It would make sense

My girlfriend's son says to me at least once a week "are you still sad that Geno isn't in Smash" so I really, really, really need a confirmation so he will stop asking me :D

Imagine the rofl moment if they use Geno's Smash render for his fighting spirit as they did with Robin.

Not everyone agrees but I think it's fun. I like the thought puzzle of it all. It's like seeing a bigass gift under the Christmas tree and practically driving yourself to insanity trying to figure out what's in it.
