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

[Grumbo]

This may just be the paranoid in me talking, but I’m starting to think Kosmos is bad news for several characters, including Geno

1. Lloyd- She’s in competition with him as a Bandai Namco rep, which is of course not good for any Lloyd bros. Lloyd would either get TKO’d as mii or likely come much later post pass.

2. Doomguy - In my mind the two are fighting for spot #5. If Doomguy isn’t #5, then he probably would up up around #8, if at all. The Cacomallow leak would be hurt or just very premature, which leads me to

3. Geno - Based on the Cacomallow leak, Geno is probably coming next to Doomguy. In the best case scenario, Doomguy is #5 and Geno follows shortly after as #6. Then we could all pack up and head home to celebrate early. If Kosmos nabs the spot, Doomguy may not be coming for awhile after that. If he’s pushed to #8, Geno might end up being #7 or #9. That’ll still be within a year of now but I’m sure that’s longer than we’d all like.

4. Master Chief - This one’s my hunch based on Sakurai not wanting to reveal two green shooty boys close together, but if Doomguy is late to mid wave 2, we certainly wont see Chief until mid wave 3, if at all.

Tldr: I’m concerned Kosmos getting in would shake up much of the current speculation, most notably for us pushing Geno and Doom farther back, but also possibly knocking Lloyd and Master Chief off the map.

Edit: Also note that all of these are in my top 6 picks (because 5 is hard to choose) so my bias is probably showing as well.

Dude.....

Lloyd is male

Dude.....

Lloyd is male

I think I was refering to Kosmos with “She’s” and Lloyd later as “him”

Think they mean “she” as in “KOSMOS is in competition with him(Lloyd)

https://www.ssbwiki.com/Leak#Ken_leak
The Ken Leak was first posted on 4chan on September 21st, so that means that it was up for little over a month before he was officially revealed.

So Cacomallow is about a month and a half old. I feel like Doom could have a chance for TGA if the deconfirm lists are wrong just due to the timing of it all.

While I agree that if I were a Lloydbro, I'd be scared right now, I don't really see why KOS-MOS being #5 has any bearing on Geno or Doom Guy. We have no word on when DLC Wave 2 begins - for all we know, The Game Awards could reveal #5 and say "oh and DLC Wave 2 starts today, here's you're first character and he's already ready to go". Master Chief is the only competition for Doom Guy, and I feel like he's just not happening.

Literally the only character who spells trouble for Geno is his costume.

So Cacomallow is about a month and a half old. I feel like Doom could have a chance for TGA if the deconfirm lists are wrong just due to the timing of it all.

If my ability to count is still as good as it ever has been, Ken leak took 41 days before Ken was announced, whereas we're sitting at 37 days on Mallowdemon.

While the Cacomallow leak does suggest that DG and Geno would release back to back, there is the possibility that Geno comes BEFORE Doomguy. You could have KOS-MOS as 5, Geno as 6, and DG as 7 without causing too much of a shake up due to sameness of any kind. The three would come off as reasonably unique in that particular order.

 

[Deleted member]

Geno made another appearance in another KFaD tournament article:
https://mojo.highquality.rip/2019/12/star-gazing/#more-2846

He seems to be quite good friends with Al and that's quite nice to see. Al and Geno are both spectacular contestants and I'm glad they're hitting it off and stargazing with the rest of the R1 losers group. He has a real good role with being the contestant others can rely on emotionally or just being friends and it fits his character well.

I’m not saying Kosmos would knock Geno and Doomguy off the map, but there’s a very good chance imo that they’d come later than we’d hope

That is possible, but I’m not sure that’s too likely if Fatman’s theory on reused smash 4 assets being the first two post pass ends up true

In an attempt to get back on topic.

With CacoMallow still standing strongly in our favor, what's our plan of thanking Sakurai if our boy gets in?

This is just wonderful - If someone can art something similar like to King K Rool's thank you would be great as well,

Only in Doom Guy's case, I think, and that's only because we're hoping he's #5. I'm honestly under the impression that Geno's #6 just because of the kind of statement that'd make going into the second wave of DLC, regardless of who #5 is.

I might get lynched for this, but I'm calling fake on Cacomallow.

Yeah, we know people can make weaker mods in Ultimate for Mii costumes, and we know that they can't do high-quality texturing without many issues, but... remember that this is the Smash fandom. People can and will go to extreme lengths to pull the wool over people's eyes. It happened with Grinch, and it can easily happen again with a convincing mod. Geno's fans and, as of late, Doom Marine's fans have been real butt monkeys in the eyes of trolling antis, so it's not out there to think that they'd come up with something like that.

The fact that Ken is there makes it feel more suspect. The play-tester at NoA that used Ken for the, well, Ken leak isn't there anymore. Is this just some guy with knowledge about leaks and the fanbase, or is this someone using Ken to kinda show, "Hey, see? It's real! It's the same guy again!"

I'm probably just very cynical. Even if it's real, too, it'd really only mean Doom Marine is about 80-90% likely (unless we got Dragonborn or something). A Mallow costume going with Geno's returning one isn't so out there either. It could mean Geno is playable, or it could mean that they tried, couldn't get him playable, and decided to make up for it with a Mallow costume, too. There's all sorts of directions this could go. I'm not chastising anyone for believing it, of course, because it is insanely convincing, but... I dunno, something in my gut is telling me no, so I'm gonna just discard it for now. I'd LOVE to be wrong, though. Besides, even without Cacomallow, I feel like Geno's chances are still quite nice.

Most of what you said here is your own speculation based off literally nothing.

KOS-MOS, who isn’t even very likely, wouldn’t change anything. We’ve known for months that FP5 was likely going to be a random ass character so her being 5 would change nothing whatsoever.

Think what you want about it being real/fake, but IF it was real then Doomguy and Geno would both be pretty close to locks for being DLC (80% chance or above).

I'm getting the slight feeling that the rules of this theory are getting particularly loose all of a sudden.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Tomorrow should be interesting no matter what unfolds. Wouldn't be surprised if we got some "swerves" of some kind. So, tin foil hat theory... You know how Sabi's source said that the Cacodemon wasn't related to Fighter 5? What if they were being literal, like... Not related to Doom? Imagine it's for something else Bethesda related? How ****in' nuts would that be? All these months of intrigue and it was a matter of misinterpretion? Kind of nuts but imagine...

Being a Geno fan is suffering in terms of attracting trolls, so I get the standpoint of assuming that someone out there is ****ing with us, and it's a shame they dragged the Doom folks in with us, because as I've stated before, until Doom Guy had the misfortune of being associated with Geno, he was a crowd favorite on /v/. My rebuttal for this, as basic and probably as easily disproven as it is: fake leaks don't live for this long. Text ones, sure, they'll get brought up here and there, but full on images, nay, videos? Fakes are destroyed sooner rather than later, and the two reasons that's the truth are because it feels like insiders are more ready to debunk or talk about image leaks, and eventually the creator who put the time and effort into fooling people wants to be known.

I mean, just to use the Grinch as an example, it didn't take what, a day or two? The same day, before insiders were calling BS? How long did ArtsyOmni let it ride before he came out with the truth about Rayman? I know it wasn't long. The Palutena 3DS leak is the only one I can think of that lasted for quite a while before being proven fake.

As for the leaker using Ken? You're right, that's really the weakest point of the leak because of what it suggests - the leaker had no access to Terry, which would have all but proven it to be real, and then specifically chose a character that was already associated with a popular leak. It's an oddly self aware type of thing to do, but if it was really just some playtester, you think that the kind of guy who gets a job like that and also has the balls to leak something wouldn't know a bit about leak culture? The Ken thing is just as much a point of weakness as it is just a funny nod to another leak, I don't think it's trying to suggest the same person is leaking it as much as it's suggesting the spirit of leaking in general.

And then there's this:

Tomorrow should be interesting no matter what unfolds. Wouldn't be surprised if we got some "swerves" of some kind. So, tin foil hat theory... You know how Sabi's source said that the Cacodemon wasn't related to Fighter 5? What if they were being literal, like... Not related to Doom? Imagine it's for something else Bethesda related? How ****in' nuts would that be? All these months of intrigue and it was a matter of misinterpretion? Kind of nuts but imagine...

Which of course would be posted while I'm trying to write my post out, making me look like I'm piggybacking out here... I've been pretty vocal about Doom Guy before the Mallowdemon leak, in that I just don't think he's a fitting fighter. I get that there's a lot of stuff working for him, but in general, I just can't make peace with him having a moveset that does the character, or home franchise justice while fitting with Super Smash Bros. I've said before, especially among friends in person, that if Bethesda's getting a rep, it's going to be Vault Boy. He's a cartoonish representation of an otherwise somewhat edgy franchise, yet maintains all the powers and abilities of a player character in Fallout, plus some extras. He fits right in... and he wouldn't hurt the chances of Doom costumes getting into Smash. What else does Bethesda have, actually? Vault Tec jumpsuit, Power Armor... generic realistic humans from Elder Scrolls? Vault Boy coming with Cacodemon, Doom Marine, the before mentioned two costumes, and like, Commander Keen would be an excellently rounded out Mii Costume set, confirm the leak, and fulfill the prophecy of "gimme Geno".

I'll always laugh at the scenario of being the first person to crack the code on Mii costume modding and making it work, and the first thing you do is use it to make a fake leak and mess with people.

OK....a couple things to unpack here. Firstly, while I admit that you could be right about the CacoMallow leak possibly being fake, I wouldn't be so quick to flat out declare it fake without any hard evidence against it. I've pointed out many times before that video leaks as clean as that one have yet to EVER be proven false. I know it's really easy to get jaded after everything we've been through, but again, don't be so quick to throw in the towel. That said, let's move on to one of your other points...

I'd LOVE to be wrong, though. Besides, even without Cacomallow, I feel like Geno's chances are still quite nice.

Are they though? I hate to throw some sour with my sweet, but aside from the Cacomallow leak, what other substantial evidence do we really have in favor of Geno? True, we haven't seen the costume yet, which is probably our second greatest boon right now, but still, what's to stop Sakurai from slapping us with it alongside another FF character or 2B? Don't get me wrong, I'm still VERY hopeful for Geno, and I think he's in the best position he's ever been, but all things considered, that's not incredibly far. Things could really tilt either way, especially if Cacomallow falls through. It's important that we don't dip too far into overconfidence before seeing a little more of what we're up against. We simply need more info (or a solidly credible leaker with some balls) to know for sure how good we sit.

You know how Sabi's source said that the Cacodemon wasn't related to Fighter 5? What if they were being literal, like... Not related to Doom? Imagine it's for something else Bethesda related? How ****in' nuts would that be? All these months of intrigue and it was a matter of misinterpretion? Kind of nuts but imagine...

I kinda hope youre wrong on this one honestly. Vaultboy or Dovakhin would just feel really weird to me (although I’d probably play Dovakhin if he got an Argonian alt) and Doomguy as a mii would be a bad sign for Geno imo.

PapaGenos did a colab with LaxChris and Blocked Content... And MarlonGamingNation it was fun. Nothing bad just their speculation on the Game Awards. We all have our thoughts on those two in perticular. Mostly negative but they were somewhat enjoyable in the conversation just slightly.

Also Hideo Kojima having some fun. Heh. Good on him.

Norman Reedus would be an interesting character though.

Would he come with the funky fetus though?

I joked about Sam Bridges getting in I'd honestly not mind. Death Stranding is going to sweep the Game Awards most likely. So on top of that'd it'd be cool for them.

We'll see.
