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

[RuffyYoshi]

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:

Okay I tend to ignore these kind of posts but it's too cringy so I'm gonna have to do this. Since it says 'entire' then it means me too, so here I go:

Some of us potentially expecting previous FD and BF stages based on that screenshot isn't 'rabid' or 'pathetic' nor some wild 'goose chase' as someone on Twitter put it, it's a conclusion based on multiple thought processes, like A) why would they not add that as a final treat for this celebration of Smash, B) would make more sense to remaster an old stage and USE it, and not just for testing the art style then discarding it which they obviously did even though they have like 100+ stages to test with, and C) they HAVE teased future stuff like with Luigi's Poltergust G-00 for LM3 in the Simon trailer which also could have been just an original design and nothing more. My personal conclusion comes from my experience not as a dev, but a graphic designer who was always told to not waste time on assets that won't be used. Sakurai wasn't my boss obviously.

My point is calling other people who dared to risk a bit of reasonable speculation (because I have yet to see people flip out like you illustrated) and lost is not cool while you took the easy route and now talk like you're above us with your 'logic'. It's cringy, and it's what tends to divide the fanbase instead of coming together and emphatizing with those who have been saddened. End of rant.

Honestly, we lead ourselves to think we are on something, but turns out not true. Its also the reason why General Directs and Smash News became the Hunger Games event vibe (not to all people of course) on what is going to show up for the announcements and/or who is getting the next invitation.

... welp, guess I finally have a reason to use Pokemon HOME. Hopefully you don't have to pay to use the Mystery Gift feature.

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.

I'd imagine so. "Earthbound End" doesn't exactly have the same ring to it, y'know?

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

When the "new" disappears from Byleth, that's when some serious **** is gonna happen.

Yep, we just have to keep our eyes open

 

[MarioTime]

I noticed that, based on how the banner is set up, there's technically room for two more character icons for the Mario series

Geno and Captain Toad confirmed okno

 

[Dukefire]

Its almost been a month since they last updated the site with Byleth since tomorrow is exactly the day Professor Byleth joins Smash House

 

[Fatmanonice]

It only looks like that on mobile, unfortunately

UH OH! Fatmanonice BTFO! Guess who's parents are getting doxxed tonight?!? Sorry, Fatmomonice and Fatdadonice, I don't make the rules...

Should've thought about the consequences of your actions before you went and did something ****ing unthinkable like... uh...

[checks report]

made up crackpot theories about party games disguised as fighting games.

So your saying some of us hype ourselves up to the moon, then we crash and burn

The results can vary depending on the person to deal with both on Hype and the aftermath the truth is revealed. Everyone reacts differently

party games disguised as fighting games.

How to anger a bunch of people in the smash fandom: Explain that Smash is a party game first and a fighting game second
____
wow, it sure did get boring around here. What new geno related stuff do we have to talk about or have we ran throuh everything while waiting for a direct...which I forgot about again

 

[Fatmanonice]

So your saying some of us hype ourselves up to the moon, then we crash and burn

We're Smash fans; we"re contractually obligated to do this.

 

[Polarthief]

Explain that Smash is a party game first and a fighting game second

It's not even a fighting game tho, Sakurai said so.

 

[Dukefire]

We're Smash fans; we"re contractually obligated to do this.

Sad truth for some bad apples to spoil the entire batch

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

We're Smash fans; we"re contractually obligated to do this.

Wait, I dont remeber seeing that in the contract!

 

[MarioTime]

If the direct is on Mar 10 aka Mario Day and they announce a big Mario game that's gonna be extreme epicness for me

 

[MisterMike]

Sad truth for some bad apples to spoil the entire batch

And given the amount of apples, that means a lot of spoiled ones.

If the direct is on Mar 10 aka Mario Day and they announce a big Mario game that's gonna be extreme epicness for me

That's right! Dr. Mario: Gynecology Madness is coming to Nintendo 3DS systems later this year!

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

It's not even a fighting game tho, Sakurai said so.

No thats what Im sayin, People ignore that sakurai said it was a party game all together sometines lol

 

[Polarthief]

If the direct is on Mar 10 aka Mario Day and they announce a big Mario game that's gonna be extreme epicness for me

March 9th was the JP release of SMRPG, May 13th the NA release. That would be amazing for Geno's reveal/release dates!

No thats what Im sayin, People ignore that sakurai said it was a party game all together sometines lol

Oh I know, just messing.

March 9th reveal, May 13th release.
A man can dream...

When the "new" disappears from Byleth, that's when some serious **** is gonna happen.

Might not be a good indicator. The NEW tag was on Terry even a day before Byleth's reveal. They might not update the site anymore until they really have to, which probably means only after a new reveal.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Oh I know, just messing.

oop, rip me
I do like the way sakurai said "Is Smash even a fighting game??" in that presentation

Then he went to say "Look at all these actual fighting games that sold more then smash"

 

[MattX20]

We're Smash fans; we"re contractually obligated to do this.

Yeah, sad but true

Oh. I'm glad someone was paying attention, because I sure didn't.

 

[Dukefire]

Once the Next Challenger to Kickstart FP2 DLC. I can put this video that can somewhat explain for those that just didn't get their wish granted on that day for that said character. (until realizing that there are still 5 more Invites left after the rage settles down. Depends on how deep the blow was.)

Spoiler: video

Can confirm, I actually remember looking at the site after the presentation date was announced to see if the new tab was taken away and thought "Welp, there goes another theory."

 

[MattX20]

Man, it's difficult to think of questions about Geno that haven't been asked yet.

 

[Lord Woomy]

Man, it's difficult to think of questions about Geno that haven't been asked yet.

How much money in credit card debt has Geno accumulated since 1996?

 

[MattX20]

Geno has a credit card? Since when?

 

[Elmorethemagician]

Man, it's difficult to think of questions about Geno that haven't been asked yet.

Does Geno have parents?

 

[Lord Woomy]

Geno has a credit card? Since when?

1996, clearly.

 

[Polarthief]

March 9th reveal, May 13th release.
A man can dream...

I super doubt a Monday direct but that would be an AMAZING nod to SMRPG's legacy if they actually did this. Plus it's 2 months between reveal/release, seems totally feasible, plus you'd want DLC 6 out before you reveal 7/8 at E3, y'know? That would be like 6 weeks prior?

 

[MarioTime]

I kinda want the Smash Team to give Geno a longer cape and put stars in it like they did with Rosalina's dress

I always wish he did have stars on his cape...

Apparently Nintendo has recently scheduled their next major Maintenance cycle so people are now flopping about hoping this potentially implies a Direct that week:

ON THE 9th TOO? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...

Seriously, because I've had to wait this long, I really really want to see a 3/9 reveal for Geno nooooow...

On the 9th? Interesting. We'll have to keep our eyes open on this

 

[MarioTime]

Coincidence? I THINK NOT

 

[Dukefire]

I doubt that a direct would appear on a Monday
