I may be stupid here but when people go "when" Thats a sign you think they are a lock and from my own personal experience saying that with a character because you think they are just "highly likely" is setting yourself up for dissapointment
again, nothing against yall
It's cool, man. I can totally see how you'd think that, but that's not really the case. I mean sure, a lot of us here have a lot of faith that he'll come to Smash eventually, but most of us don't actually mean he's a lock when we say that. For example, when Geno gets in I'm going to make a video in the style of BestGuyEver's Smash videos to celebrate. Now of course I'm not saying he is, for sure, getting in, it's just that in the event that he gets in I'll be doing that. Again, I can totally see why this causes some confusion. In fact, I usually go out of my way to append my uses of "when" with "if" to avoid confusion. (when/if he gets in)
And when it comes to us getting our hopes up, no offense, but it's not really anyone's jobs to manage that. I understand why people do it, but it comes across as really condescending, as if to say "You, random person on the internet, are too immature to handle disappointment, so we'll handle it by attempting to manage your expectations for you.". It's kind of like someone saying "You're getting too invested in thing.", well... how invested should I be in thing? Who are you to dictate to others how they should feel about thing?
And putting that aside, I really can't blame people here for being hopeful and optimistic. I mean, we have...
- The Mii Costume List that claims a Mallow and Smithy costume/hat will be coming with no mention made of Geno's Costume despite also mentioning the return of the Chocobo Hat.
- The Terry Spirits Leak by the same guy who provided the Mii Costume List that correctly called all of Terry's Spirit Board Spirits, which makes it more likely that the Mii Costume List is entirely legit.
- The CacoMallow Posts, that have yet to be proven fake that show a Mallow Hat but no Geno Mii Costume.
- The lack of Geno's Mii Fighter Costume alongside Hero which would've been the perfect time to bring it back.
- The music takedowns for "Beware the Forest's Mushrooms" and "Fight Against an Armed Boss" from back in July (when the Mii Costume List was first provided), two songs that would not only fit Geno well, but would also fit with how SquareEnix characters have only gotten two songs per fighter, with each form of Hero being considered a different character.
- The suspicious amount of SMRPG references that have been popping up as of late, such as Viridi mentioning Megasmilax, Piranha Plant's Classic Mode victory screen referencing a Japanese SMRPG commercial (to add to this, one of Zero Suit Samus' victory screens in Smash 4 referenced Bayonetta before she was revealed as the last DLC Fighter for that game), Yo'ster Island being referenced in Yoshi's Crafted World.
You may have some doubts about these (and I wouldn't mind discussing them with you), but regardless of how you feel about it, this is a lot of stuff to come up regarding Geno for Smash. And when there's this much evidence and/or potential evidence for a character you've wanted for a long time, you'd probably get at least a little excited as well.
whenever people on here say "rister" it looks like Ristar to me. I would be down for Ristar, though I would prefer Vectorman.
If Banjo & Kazooie was my pipedream character, Ristar would be my ultra pipedream character. I friggin'
love that game! Actually forget that, I don't even want them in Smash, I just want a new Ristar game.
That and House of the Dead on Steam. SEGA pls...
If we don't get a Direct this week, I'll cry.
If you are, can you record it for me? My desires are... unconventional.
