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

[Datboigeno]

Sakurai is my grandpa and he told me that Geno is 6 and is canonically afraid of 7 (Doomguy) because 7 ate 9 (Waluigi).

 

[Forthestarcapelad]

So a couple of things I wanted to say, but wasn't sure how to phrase it properly:

• For Geno's VA, another good candidate would be Mikoto's VA from Dragalia Lost. He has that deep, serves-a-higher-authority feeling to him that I think would suit Geno really well. To sum up Mikoto's character, he's a lot like Geno where he's merely carrying out the acts of the heavens. He strongly believes in the idea of fate, where heaven decides what's best for him. He's simply a servant of a higher authority.

"I follow Heaven's will. Nothing more."
Sounds a little bit like our star boy, doesn't it?

• Does anyone remember Super Mario Guy RPG? It was by LordoftheJimmy. It was pretty unique, combining both Super Mario RPG with Family Guy. I remember watching this back in 2012/2013, and I thought it was amazing. I watched every episode released, I loved Family Guy at the time so I thought it was the coolest thing ever, lol. I haven't watched it since then, but it definitely was a product of it's time, though.

Mario was Peter, Mallow was Chris, Peach was Lois, not sure who Meg was, Geno was Brian and he had banter with "God" every now and then.
I don't think he ever finished the series, though, he got up to Forest Maze and quit if I recall correctly.

Honestly, this series plus Rawest Forest really made me more invested in Geno and SMRPG as a whole.

Honestly, I always got the impression that Geno would be silent like Megaman or something, but after listening to a little bit of Mikoto's lines (I'm assuming this is the English VA you were referring to, but if not, my bad), I think that would fit pretty well. I'd love to hear Geno with a deeper, cool sounding voice. Seems pretty fitting.
And holy cow, I'm surprised I'm not the only one who remembers Super Mario guy!
Back when I did watch it, I found it kind of hysterical and charming for its unique ways of incorporating Family guy into Mario RPG.
Granted, I kind of hate Family guy now (more the later seasons than the earlier ones), and I think I stopped watching it by the time I found Super Mario guy too, but there really was some nice effort put in as an homage to family guy and a love letter to Mario RPG. Shame LordoftheJimmy didn't make it further, but hey, he had his reasons for stopping.

Yep, that's him. This guy. He's voiced by John Bradford.

It's really hard to find English voice clips of him, so this is the best example I could provide:

I love how he says "Ravenous Fire".

That said, either Geno using SMRPG sound effects or a deep voice a la Mikoto or Xander Mobus would be amazing. I'd be happy with either.

I am definitely not a fan of the newer seasons either, but there's just something about the old seasons that's fun to watch from time to time. Kinda like the Simpsons. LOTJ definitely put a lot of work into Super Mario Guy, some of the jokes didn't hit obviously (as does many of Family Guy's jokes) but it definitely made it feel like Family Guy to me, but with a Mario twist.

Yup, I can get down with this as a voice for Geno. I'd be happy with either too, but to hear Geno come back from the dead with a VOICE now, especially one this cool... That'd be special.
And yeah, I'm in 100% agreement about the old seasons. I still enjoy them too (certainly at least by comparison). Super Mario guy probably falls into that category too, though it's been a while.
Watch Sakurai subvert expectations and get LOTJ himself to voice Geno with his Brian impression.

If Sakurai made an entire presentation about Terry and his story with SNK imagine how much he would talk about Geno

 

[AdamBel731]

Fatmanonice Take as long as you need on that post. I personally wouldn't care if you bullet pointed it, or wrote a bigger thing. You should just do whatever you think gets what you want to say across the best (I personally like chunky paragraphs though).

Also, I am sincerely hoping the Game Awards character is someone that is a total mystery like Joker (a *surprise* if you will). Sure, knowing characters in advance can be good to mentally prepare yourself, but I also like surprises!

Less, probably.

So what you're saying is you want to make it so that
"You'll never see it coming"?

 

[3DSNinja]

So you want Gordon Freeman, eh?

 

[StarLight42]

So you want Gordon Freeman, eh?

the leak was already confirmed fake.

Pretty pathetic that apparently all the guy wanted to do was bait PapaGenos out of making a video.

Some people got way too much time on their hands, for better or worse.

I'm right there with you. Banjo was hype and would've been no matter what, but because leaks and Nintendo dun goofd respectively, Hero and Terry didn't pack as much punch as they could've had in my opinion. The Fighter Pass' goal is to bring us characters we wouldn't expect in Smash, so I want to be surprised damn it!

Crazy to think we haven't had any completely out of the blue Smash announcements in around an year.

Well...

 

[Griselda]

So, wait, what did I miss? Did a leak happen and get proven fake in the space of a few hours?

 

[OffBi]

What was it about Gordon Freeman in smash?

 

[Malo Mart]

Something about Gordon Freeman apparently?... it went as fast as it came, I barely remember what or how it happened.

 

[MissingGlitch]

Everyone knows it wouldn't be Gordon Freeman. Because they are gonna go with Heavy Weapons Guy. No bias of course.

 

[Hot_N_Tasty]

Just gimmie some sweet portal music too and I don't care

 

[OffBi]

Which leak about Gordon Freeman were you talking about??

 

[Malo Mart]

I guess you could say... anyone who thinks otherwise would be heavyly mistaken.

god my puns suck

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Or 8 if you add in Porky and Sylux as 6 and 7.

That's debatable.

 

[Griselda]

..I just remembered the scene where Bowser and Booster kiss Mario. I want to see that in HD. Has anyone made that?

 

[Vector Victor]

If we've gone this far and if Sakurai really wants Geno, then he might as well make him character 77.

Well...

We've been duped!
Duped!
Bamboozled!
We've been smeckledorfed!
That's not even a word and I agree with you!

 

[OffBi]

No seriously what was that smash leak you guys were talking about earlier???
Also hi Fatman anything you want to share with the class?

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Fatmanonice you take your good time with that essay or list of yours, because we all know it will be one hell of a read. You can't rush a masterpiece people.

Edit: Typo missing a s on the essay my bad.

But that's additional wait! I want to get off Mr. Sakurai's wild ride.

What leak???

 

[Grumbo]

What leak???

Something about Gordon Freeman? Im wondering that myself

 

[Evil Trapezium]

What leak???

You know, THAT leak! It's the one everyone is talking about! Don't tell me you haven't forgotten about it already!

 

[ivanlerma]

what's this about a Gordon Freeman Leak?

 

[OffBi]

what's this about a Gordon Freeman Leak?

Hell if I know

 

[MissingGlitch]

The only leak to be disproven before anyone has even heard of it. What a time we live in,

 

[Malo Mart]

I'll have to kiss my job goodbye, my ass will be sued to oblivion and I'll end up behind bars, but I'll sacrifice it all for you guys.

The Gordon Freeman leak is real and I have PROOF!

Spoiler: THE PROOF

credit goes to whoever made this mii fighter it looks pretty good ngl

 

[Fatmanonice]

This isn't "the" essay but more of a precursor. The truth of the matter is that I haven't written an essay like this for Smash since the Brawl days and it brings back painful memories. I used to be a lot like EricTheGamerman . I used to be able to write paragraph after paragraph and debate 4 or 5 people at once and I even established a "three day rule" where I wouldn't carry on a debate for longer than three days for the sake of "courtesy." It's too real some days (we even share the same name for God's sake) and I find myself having to walk away for a few hours. Obviously I don't really write tomes anymore. There's definitely a value in being succinct but it digs up too much of the past. In the days following Brawl's final reveals, I very strongly debated deleting my posts and asking an admin to close my account. The shame and embarrassment was more than palpable. I had spent 2 1/2 years pushing the Geno campaign only to feel like I had let everyone down...

It still amazes me how many people from the Brawl days still have a presence in this thread. KCCHIEFS27 , PsychoIncarnate , ctt4lfecw , TBone06 , @Foz , Xigger, etc. Beyond that, you have people like TerminalMontage , kiteinthesky , SSGuy and papagenos who I've known to some degree since the Smash 4 days. Nowadays you have Xigger, Ovaltine , and Slender being the main driving forces behind Operation: Star Fall. There's so much dedication and the fact that I've known some of these guys since 2005 is really humbling. 14 1/2 years! That's longer than if we had met on the playground in Kindergarten and shook hands and went to different colleges following our high school graduation! It's nuts but it gives me comfort in how important this is to so many people.

I've already explained this but obviously Geno and SMRPG are very important to me. It goes way beyond just getting a character in Smash and ultimately (pun intended) has to do with immortalizing a game and a character that had such a positive impact on me. Smash Bros is not only the Nintendo Hall of Fame but has turned into the Gaming Hall of Fame too. For what Geno and SMRPG did for 8 year old me and many, many others, I believe it deserves this honor and that's never changed. It was my driving force during Brawl, the reason my hope for Geno in Smash 4 never fully extinguished, and why I came back with such force and bravado with Ultimate. So, while I try to navigate my own insecurities and past hurt, I'd like to thank you all for being so supportive and I'll try to get the essay out when I can.

Friendly reminder that my Mario on PS4 leak hasn’t been debunked yet.

With how long you’ve been carrying the torch for Geno, being patient is the absolute least we can do. Do what you gotta do man.

No really!
It's driving me nuts, WHAT SMASH LEAK WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?!?

 

[Firox]

Debating doing a big Geno post. Probably take me like an hour or two to hammer out. Basically want to explain why I think Geno's 6 or 7 using information that I'm allowed to.
