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

[MattX20]

Hey, here is something fun for discussion. What does each music track in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars make you think about or imagine? For me...

Spoiler

Midas River Theme: Makes me think of a countryside area near a waterfall and river where people are mining for gold, possibly on the waterfall itself.

Smithy's Theme Part 2: A guy going crazy and shooting and throwing everything he has, literally, while the heroes move fast to try and stop him.

Smithy's Theme Part 1: A bad guy feeling he is going to win when he takes on heroes and already celebrating his win somehow.

Culex's Theme: A mage casting spells, enough said.

Bandit's Way: A crazy search for something, and not just the bandit itself.

And My Name Is Booster: Playtime at a cards game with someone dealing the cards as the players play.

Here's Some Weapons: Trouble brewing in town, but the heroes don't know what the source is or what is happening, yet.

MInecart Minigame Music: A country themed area, possibly somewhere in the Southern US, where people are moving their feet to get some gold while others take their gold in a hurry to exchange it for cash.

Nimbus Land: People playing on the clouds feeling that today will be a great day full of promise.

Barrel Volcano: People moving quickly as they walk barefoot on hot coals.

Bowser's Keep: Something ominous is going to happen, and near the end of the music, you are running out of time, and at the end of the music, a great disaster quickly happens.

Mushroom Kingdom: Walking around a royal town full of citizens as you and they, later in the music, praise the ruler of the kingdom.
Marrymore: People having the happiest time of their lives.

Star Hill: Wishes being sent around waiting to come true, and as the bells ring, they come true.

Booster Hill: People scrambling through a place to get the last desired item of its kind for themselves, sometimes fighting over it.

Factory: People working hard in the darkness in a not so happy area.

At the very least, Beware the Forest's Mushrooms is both peaceful sounding and a little whimsical

Me: "Doopa doopa doo, imma just hop into the Geno thread and check out what's been going on and-"

"OH MY GOODNESS!"

...geez, you guys really liked that meme I posted.


Also, that argument earlier seemed fun. You know what I always say though, say it with me, "Geno will get in if Sakurai or Nintendo want him, and no PNG, costume, or rule we make up is gonna stop that." If Sakurai wants Geno in, its been decided.

*When ForsakenM and I see someone posting cringe (a dumb argument)

Yep, today was the busiest I've seen the thread in a while, and it was a quite good post

 

[MisterMike]

Well then...

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I guess that really was just a dev stage. Bummer, it would've been really cool to have different Battlefields and FDs in the game.

 

[*Verrix*]

Well damn. It would have been cool....

Okay, I've got a question for you guys, when was the first time you experienced Super Mario RPG and or learned about Geno? My first experience playing Super Mario RPG was a neighbors house when I lived in a small town called Ruthton many years ago as a kid. I never got to play the game fully or own my own copy until late 2007 or so because I distinctly remember beating the game for the first time the night before Brawl released. That, and I learned of Geno primarily thanks to Smash Kingdom.

Watching Smash Kingdom and the Forest Maze music video on Youtube in the late 2000s was when I was first introduced to Geno and SMRPG in general.

 

[RuffyYoshi]

That's unfortunate. I was leaning towards it being a thing and less so of it being used to test the art style, which I thought they'd do with the new Battlefield and not the old one to waste time and resources changing the overall stage without the intention to actually use it, but hey we got an insight on how things go. The silver lining is Sakurai knows what we were potentially expecting, so he might add the past BF and FD stages as the very last DLC, but I'm not holding my breath for that for now.

 

[Vector Victor]

The first time I learned about Geno was.........30 minutes ago in this thread. Until then, I thought this thread was about a pizza. I always found the idea of people wanting playable pizza in Smash a bit odd, but then again, it IS pizza, and you don't say no to pizza.

People actually thought it was another form of battlefeild in game?

If like anything else he probably made that post because people were annoying him about it.

Sakurai: "Haha, I made a funny picture with my dev tools! Please enjoy it."

Smash Fanbase: "THIS IS UNDENIABLE PROOF THAT EVERY SINGLE STAGE IN SMASH HISTORY IS COMING BACK AND YOU CAN'T CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE!!!!!!!"

If he went out and posted it in english, Id say 100% he was annoyed to hell and back at people saying it meant something when it mean absolutly nothing lol

Too many rabid fans sadly. Remember when people were saying "F*** YOU SAKURAI" over Byleth even though he too thinks there's too many FE characters/swordsmen? It's sad because the man deserves nothing short of everyone's respect even if your favorite characters don't make it in, or in this case, stages I guess. Everyone needs to chill and back the hell off of him. The man's a legend.

PS: It'll be exactly 3 weeks tomorrow. Gonna laugh if it comes out before the Direct does.

I don't like Byleth or how they play, but I do agree Sakurai shouldn't be harassed over it since this was entirely Nintendo's pick. That, and there's a good chance we'll finally hear a potential general direct date next week at the earliest, so our wait may be at an end finally.

 

[Dukefire]

Nobody can't win everyone's hearts. There will always be those that are wanting more or something else that they didn't want.

I cant imagine the stress Sakurai is put through whenever he sees all these posts directed toword him. And people make fun of the people telling sakurai sorry for some of the fandom.
P.s.s: I knoww, I cant wait. With how the direct is dragging, It may actualy beat the direct

Well, there is still the YCG direct that can release some of the tension.

I still need to play the last Shovel Knight expansion with King Knight one of these days.

Hope you like Shoulder bashes, certain relics and upgrade. Those will help you in the long run. Well except for card battles since that takes some time to build your deck.

It's really good. Card game is hit or miss. I enjoyed it mostly but sometimes it got annoying. Probably my second favorite of the 4. Specter > King > Shovel > Plague IMO.

A question regarding Geno that I don't think was asked: even though Geno will be mostly a zoner due to his skills in game, what do you guys think his close combat attacks will be?

I think it'd be cool if his dodge animation was his spirit leaving his body and the body/spirit being invulnerable when this occurs.

People were asking about their SMRPG origin stories yesterday so I figured I would revisit mine.

Not my picture but the magazine that introduced me to SMRPG. Definitely a relic of a bygone era as this particular magazine went defunct in 2011. It's the December 1995 issue of Game Pro. It had a feature on SMRPG in it and I pretty much fell in love instantly. From that point on tried to vacuum up as much news about the game as I could. Of course, this was pre-internet so this meant going to Walmart, going to the magazine aisle (yes, that used to be a thing) and sitting on the floor while I thumbed through every gaming magazine available until I found something I was interested in. I want to say that I didn't actually play SMRPG for the first time until the summer or fall of 1996. Rented it from Blockbuster multiple times until my parents got the hint and just got it for me that Christmas.

Guys, Nintendo of Europe twitter still didn't upload Byleth today
Something fishy is going on around here...

Ah classic gaming mags like Nintendo Power, I do recall reading quite a few of them growing up also.

The only thing that annoyed me with that were the people saying how it was rude towards Sakurai but directing it at those who were just disappointed at Byleth, not just the people screaming for blood. Some people on forums, YouTube, etc were being too defensive and criticizing any level of disagreement concerning Byleth, trying to guilt trip people by mentioning all the hard work that Sakurai does. Honestly, the FE haters and FE defenders, who are smaller chunks of the overall fanbases, were neck in neck with each other in terms of obnoxiousness.

'Oh great. Byleth. Ugh.'
'How dare you! Sakurai is a great man and you are an awful awful person for not loving this addition!!'

Because we're bored, let's throw out something tinfoily because that never results in anything bad in this thread or someone taking deep, personal offense to it:

https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/fighter/series.html

I noticed that, based on how the banner is set up, there's technically room for two more character icons for the Mario series. On the actual Mario series page, this would also line up with the overall structure of the character "blocks." Overall, it's irrelevant but it's a fun little observation.

On the actual character pages too, I remember noticing that the other fighters column used to be 3X3 initially, with room for one more Mario rep. Now, the pages like this https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/fighter/01.html have 3 empty spots, changing to 4X3.

Sakurai: Here's a cool pic!

Literally every rabid Smash fan: OLD STAGE ARE COMING BACK OH MY GOD AHHHHHH~!

Me: Honestly, it's probably just a dev tool thing. Probably used during development and never meant for the base game. :/

Sakurai: It was never meant for the base game, just a dev thing.

Entire pathetic Smash fanbase: OH COME ON SAKURAI WTF?!

Me: Hmm...maybe I'm also right about March Direct because Sakurai said it would be awhile before #6 was revealed and that was said in early February. Funny how that happens when you use facts and logic. :think emoji:

 

[Polarthief]

https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/fighter/series.html

You know what I still find weird? Ness and Lucas are listed as "Earthbound" reps. Does that mean if we ever got Mother 3, it'd be called "Earthbound 2"? Given that Mother 1 is "Earthbound Beginnings" (or "Earthbound Zero"), I guess that's what would probably end up happening.

Geno and Waluigi. Let's ****ing GO!

Still, the new slots featured are encouraging for Geno's chances, even if it is a coincidence.

This is honestly how I feel about Season 2.

Sakurai: God, I'm so tired but I'm willing to do DLC a little while longer.

Smash fanbase: Sooooo, what you're saying is Season 3 is confirmed?

Sakurai: Smash Ultimate has exceeded all my expectations as a developer, truly this is my Magnum Opus and only needs a little bit more to be perfect in my eyes.

Smash fanbase: Okay, Season 3 is definitely happening.

Sakurai: This game was my final promise to my best friend and mentor, Iwata. I think he would be proud of this game and I personally feel it's close to being the best tribute to his memory I could possibly make.

Smash fanbase: Those are definitely words and I feel like it confirms another 2-3 years of DLC support.

Sakurai: I like posting these development pics because it reminds me of how far this game has come and what an incredible experience these past 9 years have been. I will remember these days forever and it makes me a little sad that it'll soon be coming to an end...

Smash fanbase: If this game doesn't have 100 individual character slots and every stage in Smash history in the end, this game, objectively speaking, is literal ****.

I feel bad for Sakurai having to put up with idiots like that on a daily basis. He's got one of the hardest jobs ever

Look at the page here https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/fighter/01.html . It appears the formatting of the reps went from a 3X3 to a 4X3 alignment in the other characters in this series bit.

I just noticed that they didn't removed the new for Byleth since they have been released weeks ago.
