*raises an eyebrow*
Okay everyone, show of hands. Who here actually believes that Geno is guaranteed?
I used to think Geno was entirely done for because I believed Spirits deconfirm characters but because of this starling picture, the validity of the claim is starting to be put into question. Now like I said before, I don't think Geno has a shot at being in the fighters pass since Square Enix already has Dragon Quest and I think spots are saved for different companies. However if Bonus fighters are a possibility, I think Geno has a great chance of being the next fighter. In my mind, Square Enix was only willing to let Geno be playable after Sakurai advertised Dragon Quest IX S and made the heroes playable characters.
Say, Geno Mii Costume aside, back in the DLC days of Smash 4, how did you feel when they added Cloud over Geno? I can't say I was pleased myself.
Cloud was pretty cool and I was surprised to see him. I don't think I had much of reaction seeing the Geno mii costume though.
Who were the biggest characters on the Grinch leak, for you?
For me, it was Isaac and Geno. I still feel bad about Isaac. Shadow would’ve been an awesome echo, too..
Banjo & Kazooie were the top of the line for me! It was amazing to finally see him in the game!
Geno and Isaac were pretty cool additions too. I was a little saddened for the fans (Especially Billybo10k) to see Isaac become an Assist Trophy again and I kind of hope that he's the last bonus character, sadly though I deem that as impossible. Geno is probably safe but Assist Trophies seem to have way more time integrated. No disrespect to Waluigi fans but I do kind off get a sick sense of enjoyment seeing Waluigi being snubbed from Smash because I feel it hilariously fits his character.
Ken at that point was a lock and so did Shadow but like many other people, I was surprised to see that he was still an Assist Trophy after seeing that Knuckles seemingly took that spot.
Mach Rider actually looked like a really cool character. Imagine being a character that is a cross between the Mach Rider and ExciteBike. He sits on top of his motorbike, dashing makes him drive forward, when you turn around his bike skids across the floor, maybe a forward aerial where he does a trick or backflips with his bike, attacking opponents with the treads of his wheels and if he connects, he bounces off the opponent. I thought Mach Rider would be far more interesting than ExciteBike because even though the latter is far more popular, Mach Rider would be able to more things like shoot with his weapons.
And er yeah Chorus Kids... whatever... moving on.
I would also feel the same way about Sora and Kingdom Hearts getting representation before Geno were that to ever happen, though I doubt it will due to the complications that would arise from Disney. (For example, I feel like Sakurai would not want to include Sora if he couldn’t also include Donald and Goofy in some way because the three of them are so closely tied together, and I feel like getting the rights to use the two of them would be a massive challenge compared to literally any other character in Smash.)
You know it kind of bothers me that Sora fans are desperate enough to abandon the Disney side of Kingdom Hearts and deem it irrelevant just to get Sora to join the game because they felt the peer pressure of Donald and Goofy being 4th party characters holding them back. I know that a lot of people have a problem with non-video game characters joining Super Smash Bros because they don't want Goku in the game but I feel like there has to be some exceptions to that rule. If not a playable character, the least Donald, Goofy and other Disney characters should have in Smash Bros is as background characters or in Donald and Goofy's case, part of Sora's final smash and maybe some spirits to break up the monotony of having organisation XIII members take up the spirit board.
Found on 4ch. Something I noticed that's odd. Considering that the stages from the dlc season pack comes in we would have one stage slot open. This also applies to the character voice section as well, that is, if none of the upcoming dlc has character alts like Hero. Thoughts?
Since I think Doom Guy and Geno have a chance of being in Smash Bros, I'd imagine either Doom Guy would be silent or Geno would be silent.
That matchs the Stage Select Free Slot, right?
It seems that the plan is:
Piranha Plant
_____
Joker
Heroes
Banjo
DLC 4
DLC 5
_____
Geno
This is what I think will probably happen
Piranha Plant
_____
Joker
Heroes
Banjo
_____
Geno
_____
DLC 4 (Chris Redfield)
DLC 5 (Doom Slayer)
_____
Waluigi
(I don't think this is likely and I don't like Waluigi as a playable character but the Waluigi fanbase is loud enough for this to potentially happen)
). Doesn't help that he wasn't even made by any of the main Nintendo branches, so they're more comfortable using him in anything that's not a platformer (except as a costume, and even then SMM2 doesn't have the Mystery Suit feature again so far).
