If Geno ends up getting in, I hope his inclusion means that Super Mario RPG will also be included as one of the SNES games on the NSO service. It's a great game, and one that more people need to play if the "Geno for Smash" discussions are any indication.

Guys, don't worry about it. I talked to Sakurai directly on Discord. He said Geno will be in Smash Ultimate's DLC cycle.

He just kind of showed up in the server. He called someone a c*** then apologized.

I never said anything about Geno, it's strange how you brought up Geno when I haven't even talked about him. I almost have to wonder what are you talking about? I was talking about people debating about other Square Enix characters when Brave came around.
You posted "I have heard the news, I'm glad you got your character" in a Geno thread board, of course people were going to think you meant Geno and not Hero here.

Thanks. That’s very interesting. I gotta wonder if she ever learned more or the trail went cold.
I really like Geno as the 5th, but I don't know if will be the better ending for the Fighter Pass (But I really love that final), I heard about Lloyd being some points in advantage
There were two new tales logos trademarked, one being in the shape of a book and stylized similarly to a smash icon, and his voice actor tweeted about a big new project he had coming. A few days prior he tweeted a picture of himself in a recording both and said (paraphrasing) “I suck at playing videogames, but love recording for them” on national video game day.
Lloyd gang rise up


So has anything interesting happened today? I havent been checking much

Remember, Luigi on the Game Boy said that Geno was in.

I have faith that Luigi would not let us down. :luigi:

I hope Geno is a top tier character if/when he gets in. If he is, it'll explain why he's been away for so long.

It's so that his 20 years of training have been leading up to intense battles against an electric rat, a super soldier, and a school student.

Not for me. I think every character in Ultimate is high tier (except Pit, poor guy), but I would rather not see Geno carry people to the top who know nothing about him and only picked him up because a tier list told them to. As much spite is in my heart for the people who have detracted him for so long, I don't want a day to come where he's a Sm4sh Bayonetta or something.

I don't see that as a good reason for not wanting him to be top tier. Ultimate's character balance is relatively off the charts in how balanced it is. Yes, some will complain that certain characters aren't powerful enough but out of the 80-something characters in this game, we only have a handful of characters (10 max) that are considered to be "good, just not as good as other characters" which screams of exceptional balancing by the dev team. I sincerely doubt we'll ever have another Sm4sh Bayo on our hands no matter what character gets in the game. (Besides, even though Bayo in Sm4sh was undoubtedly the best character, Cloud still got better results in the long run)

Honestly, the thing that pleases me the most with Ultimate tournaments is that I can finally see every character in the game played at a high level. Every Smash game until now has had characters that were always left on the cutting room floor in tournaments and were never really seen when it was figured out who the top/high tiers were. Ultimate is a different story. It's been almost a year since Ultimate's release and we have yet to find that one character that shatters all boundaries. In fact, almost every character in the roster gets major competitive play time... unless your name is Ryu.

Adding Geno to the equation, I believe that not wanting him to be top tier to spite the detractors does nothing more than spite the supporters. In all honesty, Geno shouldn't be top tier because there shouldn't be "top tiers" in this game. The tiers really don't matter anymore. In Ultimate, calling one character a top tier is like calling a student an A+ student when literally every other student is an A student.

As long as he has a fun, creative, and useful kit that is uniquely his own, all the while calling back to SMRPG, then Geno will be perfectly fine. And that's all that matters.

If the color theory is right then the orange color is either for Geno or Doomguy or Arle or Crash or Bubsy
Color theory isn't a thing. They didn't choose the characters as DLC because they match certain colors. They didn't sat down and say "Okay team, we have the color orange. Now which character can be associated with that color?" Sure the next DLC character most likely isn't going to recycle the same color from the other 4 DLC Fighters, but they weren't going to have a color be a deciding factor in this. Whatever color they choose it will be because it complements them better, not because they're associated with that color. Good example, Terry is associated with the color red but they gave him blue.

If Geno makes it, whether he is top-tier or low-tier, I just want him to be fun, unique, and perfectly balanced.

Every character seems to be on their own respected level, and that's what I like about Ultimate's roster. As long as you know how to play the character, you'll do great with them. And in the end, I want Geno to be remembered for originating from one of the best SNES games of all time, and making one of the most unexpected cameos ever (making a cameo on a mini-game in Superstar Saga).

Oh yeah, and I'm thinking about playing Super Mario RPG on my SNES again...

I'm expecting a general direct to drum up hype for the start of the holiday shopping season.

Could this be hinting towards something? Maybe an unexpected reveal?
There was a problem fetching the tweet
I don't think Sabi just asking a general question on Twitter means they're hinting at anything.

I don’t trust her a lot anymore, this all seems like a giant game to her(pretty ironic considering, you know....)

Yeah, that’s what’s really damaging her credibility and is honestly just messed up
Yeah I guess I just really don’t understand her sense of humor. I don’t get what’s funny about “omg Fortnite lol” “omg Fortnite lol” “Jonesy’s in lol” but the even bigger problem is that it makes it harder to distinguish what is inside information and what is just ****posting/trolling. You could call PapaGenos or Vergeben “boring” but at least they make it very clear the information they are distributing as leaks or rumors. Idk at this point lol.

I don’t know if there’s other pro wrestling fans here, but I’ve often been imagining that Geno is black and white like Crow Sting from WCW. He’s coming back to avenge a wrong that must be right’ed. The wrong being him not being in a game for over 20 years.

Until Sora comes in and botches the finish Starrcade '97 style.

Nah, that was the September Direct and Nintendo doesn't have enough really coming in the Spring at this point to justify a general Nintendo Direct. They've already released so much in this last half of the year that they really won't have much more than Animal Crossing, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, and maybe Xenoblade Chronicles for the start of next year (we'd likely know about bigger titles if they were coming so soon already). They're better off doing specific Directs for like Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and maybe Smash alongside announcements at The Game Awards and saving up their next big reveals for a start of year Nintendo Direct like they did in February of last year. We just already know what they've got going into the start of next year.

I'd even daresay that, with the pace they're going, they might even reveal the final pack along with the first additional DLC character. If Terry is in dev alongside two others (much like Joker/Hero/Banjo), I wouldn't find a double reveal after Terry's release to be so out there.
So I'm at work and dont have a lot of time but I was talking with a friend last night and was counting months and...if they are as ahead as I think they are, they COULD be just CRAZY enough to release #5 in Dec. I'll bring up more when I'm off work.

ITS GETTING SPICY!!!

Celebrate, watch his gameplay trailer a million times, cry a little bit, wish for him to have a purple alt, and wait for his amiibo to come out.

I'm here wondering, "when's Nintendo releasing more games on the SNES NSO Library?":nifty:
Yeah the release schedule is worse than even the NES as it at least had a few games a month yet we haven't had a new game release since the thing launched. I'd really like to play the DKC trilogy, Earthbound and SMRPG sometime.

In no particular order:
1 - Record and upload my reaction video for it. You guys should do the same.
2 - Make an image macro of comments by people saying Geno would never happen, a la the Banjo image. In case you're wondering, I currently have about 50 different twitter posts related to this. If you guys have any particularly good ones, be sure to screencap them.
3 - Make a video in the style of BestGuyEver for Geno titled "S T A R M A N". In spite of the name, it will not be primarily using the David Bowie song of the same name. I already have a song picked out for it, and I can guarentee you that it's gonna be good.
4 - Play through Super Mario RPG, either through emulation or NSO if it gets re-released on there.
5 - Play more Smash, make more memes, probably shift my focus to supporting some other character for DLC, most likely Crash Bandicoot, and generally enjoy living in a society wherein Ridley, King K. Rool, Banjo & Kazooie, and Geno are all in Smash.
