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

Is Rosalina just an evolved Luma?

Oh dear Heaven, the downward spiral begins

 

[TooManyToastahs]

God I love this board. You get to see some of the coolest Super Mario RPG discussion and fan creations, while also still being able to talk about smash.

You guys and gals are freaking awesome, seriously. You have made this wait for smash ultimate much more enjoyable.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

I *really* love the final shot with the whole party standing together. It's perfect. (And technically, a younger Link *did* have a cameo in RPG!)

RIP Mallow

If Skull Kid and Geno get revealed in the same trailer which I highly doubt, I hope that's how it goes down.

I do think it's Rosalina, but I don't think he is a Luma. Geno's purpose and the Luma's are very different, as well as the abilities they hold, and they seem to have very different perspectives on things. Geno is probably something entirely different.

Yeah, he's definitely not a Luma. I strongly believe Rosalina is going be in Geno's trailer 100% percent because they are both associated with the stars and Star Road.

Could it be??? Rosalina is Geno's commander? :O

Well shoot, you had to remind me of this.

Besides, I thought it was established she used to live on Mario's world.

That seems accurate. Plus they technically come from two different universes, so starbound beings may differ in how they're made in both.

Just imagine if Rosalina had Geno as her secondary character instead of just a Luma...

Literally me as I just read this:

EDIT:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZCj5aDSe3g have you guy seen this? this is super sick! its a geno and skull kid story board reveal for smash and its well done

Now that would be the way to reveal both of those characters, I really wish that was real.

And now we have the semifinals against Banjo-Kazooie. This is going to be tough.

My favorite response to this "Higher Authority" Geno serves:

Spoiler

Blues Brothers reference in case anyone didn't get it...

 

[alemerltoucanet]

Y'all, Billybo10k gave Geno a rerate on his most recent video and now he's a 90% likely on his list!

 

[EntropyAtrophy]

I voted for Geno! I hope Banjo is added via DLC later.

I just imagine Geno and Mallow standing in a snowy field and Geno saying, "You told the penguin you'd visit her once you got out Bowser's Keep."

 

[ctt4lfecw]

Saw that. Yay Geno!

It definitely is going to be tough, but I think we'll win!

So a small moment of negativity has started to pop up in my mind regarding Geno, specifically the splash screen. For what seems like forever people have been commenting that had a positive impact on Geno’s chances as he was the only one to get a splash screen. For the longest time I never really gave it much thought, I thought it was just Sakurai acknowledging Geno and the special state of the situation with Square working out. Not good or bad.

But what if he got the splash screen because that’s the best Sakurai can do for us fans? He doesn’t consider Geno a true priority, but he wants to acknowledge us in some fashion, This he gave a little bit of special treatment. He’s the only character that we’ve heard so much positivity about directly from Sakurai. Again, something we’ve always assumed was in our favor, but maybe it’s a negative? He’s saying these things and doing things as he is for our benefit as Geno can’t be the priority to him or Nintendo character wise despite years of fan demand.

Not trying to be overly negative, but it’s a thought I’ve had recently that maybe things weren’t so clear cut with regards to his seeming special treatment. And certainly the overall fan nature of Ultimate, presence of King K Rool and Ridley, Mii Costumes getting upgraded generally speaking, and lots of other things are still on the table. But my fear has always been that Sakurai either wouldn’t or couldn’t prioritize a playable Geno. All of the pieces are in place for once, so it’d be a shame not to include him, but as always we live and did on Sakurai’s judgment (much like Isaac who also has no real reason to not be on the roster other than Sakurai’s choices and fan demand not being enough to supersede relevance to these two).

You beat me to the punch! I know he's just a fan like everyone else, but he usually is pretty knowledgeable, I think that's awesome he is so confident.

Any speculation is in the eye of the beholder. Why think negatively if you can put the same efforts and think positively. I still look at it as a positive. There's no reason to think any different of it as nothing has really changed. My gut still says he's in. But obviously that's just me. I think he's trying to do the unthinkable in this game, and that includes adding Geno. The only thing that all of that in regards to the splash screen tells me is that he knows he's insanely popular.

I mean, I do understand if Sakurai focused more on Cloud than Geno in the Smash 4 DLC, but now Cloud is in. What could honestly be stopping Geno now? He made Geno's reveal special for a reason, with the splashscreen, and he even used Beware of the Forest's Mushrooms. If he gave Geno that much special attention just for the fans, why would he only stop at giving him only a mii costume? I know I'm being optimistic, but all the signs are there.

Geno is up against banjo, come on boys we can do it!

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Just finished Mario RPG in anticipation of Geno's reveal. MUCH shorter than kid me remembered. Fantastic game though. <3

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Just finished Mario RPG in anticipation of Geno's reveal. MUCH shorter than kid me remembered. Fantastic game though. <3

To its credit, it is a bit longer than the Paper Mario games (and isn't in a rigid chapter-like structure like those are).

 

[Mr Gentleman]

Also our Isaac brothers beat Sora! Now we for certain have total victory over our rival >;]
Be sure to send Isaac some love when you're voting Geno in the bracket!now let's beat this bear!

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

To its credit, it is a bit longer than the Paper Mario games (and isn't in a rigid chapter-like structure like those are).

I'm not upset or anything. It just felt HUGE as a kid. Short can be good. It means no worthless filler. It's exactly what it needs to be.

 

[Funktastic]

Isaac and Geno it is; although, given what Banjo represents, I'm not assuming a win for Geno this round. Either way Geno will be in the Winner's or Loser's finals which means our boi is a finalist!

 

[FalconFire93]

Just finished Mario RPG in anticipation of Geno's reveal. MUCH shorter than kid me remembered. Fantastic game though. <3

It is a fantastic game, although it’s been around 10-11 years since I played it and beat it, probably gonna break out the old SNES and play it again soon.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Pre-smash excitement has me running through the NES and SNES classic. Moved on to DKC. Wish it was 2. One of my favs on the system. I wouldn't mind seeing Dixie either though I'm not dyyyyying for it like I am a few others.

 

[MephistoSlayer]

You know, here's a good question relating to Geno, what do you think he would be like if he appeared in the various spin off games like Mario Party, Mario Kart, and the Mario Sports game's? What would his various stats be, how would he be portrayed compared to the other characters, etc.

I think he would have similar stats to the RPG. Very fast but fragile. Maybe he would have low acceleration in Mario Kart. And in Mario Tennis his racket could break easier.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Voted Isaac and Geno, but Banjo is probably winning this round

 

[BrashCandicoot]

If Geno gets in, do you think it's only fair if Mallow gets an Assist Trophy?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

If Geno gets in, do you think it's only fair if Mallow gets an Assist Trophy?

I think that along with him, Smithy, Axem Rangers, Bowyer and Exor being trophies as well as Forest Maze/Star Road as a stage.

My little made up canon is the star that possessed Geno shared the same abilities that Bonneters (Cappy's race) have. And then inhabited the doll.

 

[Klimax]

Voted Isaac and Geno, but Banjo is probably winning this round

Last round, Geno got 4147 votes, no one did a better score. I think that we can win this fight, not easily, but we still can do it !

 

[Teeb147]

Havent been here too much in the last weeks , but I still want geno in
And yes, he'd get along with Rosalina for sure. She'd praise him for his starry service with SE, and then say it's time to come back (and then bam Nintendo has the copyrights back).. well, indulge me XD

 

[Dionaea_floridensis]

Thank you Geno bros so much!! I've voted for Geno in every ballot i can! He's my Number 2 after Isaac and I can already see his reveal trailer in my mind

You mustn't allow the past to make your faith go astray. Geno's got the BEST chance he's ever had being in Smash Bros. Think of how far he's come. I keep telling myself the same thing, but we can't doubt Geno now.

 

[JustCallMeJon]

I don't know why....

Despite having evidence that Geno is still a possibility and that I like this character to be in, I have gut feeling that he may have a chance as an AT.

Don't know why, but that was a feeling I am having right now...
