So here's a few fun questions to hopefully promote discussion and steer conversation back to Geno.
First:
Pt 1: you have the ability to have SMRPG crossover with any game that is not Smash; what game would you have SMRPG crossover with?
Pt 2: basically same thing as pt 1 except in this instance only Geno crosses over to another game; which game would you choose to have just Geno be a part of?
1. I think a Kirby RPG would be pretty cool, actually. He could learn new abilities from absorbing monsters like a Blue Mage in Final Fantasy. Would also work with SMRPG for the star theming.
2. Kirby again. Stars.
Second:
Pt 1: you have the ability to put Geno in any new Mario game (new Odyssey, Mario+ Rabbids Kingdom, Mario Kart, Mario & Luigi, Mario Party, etc); which game would you chose to have Geno join?
Pt 2: you have the ability to create a brand new kind of Mario spin off game and of course Geno can be in it; what kind of new game style would you bring to the Mario universe?
1. He'd work best thematically in Mario Rabbids but the boy in Mario Kart would be great
2. Metroidvania
Third:
Pt 1: you can add any Mario character except Geno to Smash; who do you add?
Pt 2: you can add any Mario character except a SMRPG character to Smash; who do you add?

I'm both excited and nervous as the letter rush is wrapping up. I hope the end result is worth it.

If it makes you feel any better, even if our boy doesn't make it in, writing that letter helped a lot in at least just making me feel like there was something I could do to help try and get him in. Basically Operation Starfall and it's campaign and this thread has given me hope. Otherwise I honestly wouldn't even try to voice my opinion or support him in some capacity beyond personally wanting him and talking to friends about it because I'd have no hope that he would ever make it in. Some may try to argue that having hope only to be led to disappointment is worse than having no hope but I disagree. Having voiced my opinion and tried to make a difference, I would certainly feel disappointed if Geno didn't make it but at least I'd feel better knowing that I had tried and there were many others championing for the cause.

Geno has a chance, which is why haters are so adamant to stop him. He's viable competition, with the main developer supporting him. Basically, they don't mock support because its hopeless, but because there's a possibility. Which is funny since instead of knocking down Geno, they could use Geno potentially getting added to strengthen the resolve in getting THEIR favorite added.

Pt1: A new Mario and Luigi game
Pt2: Mario Battle Game (something similar to Sonic Battle)

Pt1: Fawful
Pt2: Professor E. Gadd

This photo looks amazing! Credits to RichieGonzo21 on Twitter or whoever the artist is! Its just a matter of weeks to have Geno revealed as a fighter, it’s so obvious for me, likely November or December at last!

Still really liking Geno's chances I feel he still has a really good shot.

I feel as though he's the only shoo-in that's tied to a first party Nintendo Franchise. His status as a Square character makes him unique and I think it's enough to slip him into what is thus far a predominantly third party DLC cycle.

I personally wouldn't go as far as calling him a shoe-in. His chances are better than they've ever been, yeah, but even when I thought he could still be coming, Hero did, and my hopes were dashed. You never know what kinda crazy stuff can happen, so I'm keeping my expectations tempered. I really don't want to be that brutally crushed again, even if the odds are in the favor of my hopes being realized...

You can probably tell but the animation is influenced by Kris' finger gun in Delta Rune. Of course, he doesn't actually shoot anything

That SMRPG email thing is accepting emails until tommorow, right? Because I just sent my piece and I forgot to double check if the submission period has already ended.

Well, if anyone's interested in asking me questions, my AMA is up on the site: https://smashboards.com/threads/wer...kly-ama-ericthegamerman.489879/#post-23573546.

I figured I'd crosslink it here since this place remains my home and it's entirely possible people might have questions for me that are less on topic or whatever haha. I welcome any and all inquiries!

I'm also planning on getting the email for Starfall drafted tonight and then I'll be sending it off, I've been meaning to do it forever, and like most things have waited until the end to get to it haha.

It's not finished yet, but here's my idea when Geno gets a timed hit.


Edit: Slightly better version but I need to go to bed

Oh, I see. So, how do you guys think this letter will affect Geno’s chances provided he is not planned yet?
I don't know, i'll have to read it. but you can ask the others about the letter.

Edit: Sorry for leaving you hanging, i feared i wouldn't give out a good answer to you.

That’s okay. I was already going to sleep before I could get this anyway. It’s all cool.

So, where can I read the letter? This is not just to you, ivanlerma, but to anyone else who can answer.

Someone else is probably better suited to answer this than me, but I'll take a crack at it:

The letter campaign isn't a single letter, but the compilation of all letters written by Geno fans over the period of the campaign. Basically, an email address was listed on Operation Starfall for us to send a letter talking about why we want Geno in Smash, or some Mario RPG representation or what have you, along with fan art and music, and other stuff, to be sent off to Nintendo (and I think Square and maybe Sakurai, if possible?) It's like the really tame version of that one time that people sent in poster tubes to demand that Xenoblade get released (because of how big poster tubes are, they're hard to ignore).

I have no idea if they're going to make the letters and fanworks public, or if that's up to the author/creators.

There are plans to make some of the letters public, at the very least, at the discretion of the authors and creators involved. However, that will only be allowed after a certain amount of time has passed for Nintendo to receive the letter compilation. When the allotted time passes, I will certainly be posting my letter, along with the art that I sent (although all of the art is already publicly available rofl).

Today's the deadline, so it has to be done ASAP today if you still want your letter to make it in. The email is smashultimatedlc@gmail.com. Everyone's assembled a lot of the letters and prepared plenty of stuff by now, though, so while I think we can still get your letter in, I unfortunately can't promise anything.

While I don't know about any other polls, the fact that Geno won the Walmart poll by such a landslide is indicative of how beloved he is. Sure, there's going to be plenty of bias and sway from the current speculation climate muddying those results... but over three thousand people with that large an amount of votes going for Geno? He got almost half of all total votes. That's nothing compared to the like, 20k sample size stuff, but that's bananas.

Sabi's/Papa's/Scott the Woz's Discord poll crossover is about to be closing up, too. That's the one that I think will be more on the accurate side with a larger sample size. I wonder how Geno will fare there.
