I mean, i’ve been one of the biggest skeptics of it on this thread. I never really thought Doomslayer was at all likely until the prospect of that leak being real crossed my mind.
Welcome to the forum!What are you guys' thoughts on the Brawl Legacy XP Geno model?
Also hello, I am new
Welcome! Someone get this guy another Geno hat, on the house!What are you guys' thoughts on the Brawl Legacy XP Geno model?
Also hello, I am new
I agree, I think it's one of the main things holding this model back. The hat is just awkward.
Okay, I've decided to sit down an watch one of his videos (that video being The Thunder Discusses Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Cabbage Patch Kids), and I have a few questions.
It's kind of off-putting, really. The eyes look so shiny and kind of awkward compared to the dull colors of everything else around it.What are you guys' thoughts on the Brawl Legacy XP Geno model?

It's got some good elements, but the design leaves a bit to be desired.What are you guys' thoughts on the Brawl Legacy XP Geno model?

I'm doing okay. Good to hear from you again, and yeah, the Direct drought has left many in aggravation. Hopefully, we'll get some Geno content soon, or at the least something worthwhile
Before DLC 6 is even revealed, if it's even gonna be this week.
Shantae does have a chance, given her spirit was in the base game like Geno's. Maybe not the strongest, but it's still there
Yes they can... all they have to do is give off their render like Cloud and Wii Fit. A PNG is not gonna stop a character being playable.
Oh, this old chestnut. Since I've already tackled this a while back, I'll just repost what I wrote then here.
Oh great, this again. Alright, it's time to put this terrible arguement in it's grave once and for all.
First off, there is nothing officially stating that a character being a spirit, an Assist Trophy, a boss, a Mii Figher Costume, or part of someone's moveset (a Final Smash, for example) cannot also be a fighter or anything else. While it is usually the case that characters who are designated as one of those are only used for that purpose, there is nothing set in stone that says they can't be anything else. After all, we have plenty of examples of this not being the case: Chrom is both still part of Robin's Final Smash despite also being an Echo Fighter. King K. Rool, Isabelle, and Chrom are fighers despite having Mii Fighter Costumes still in the game. Rathalos is both a boss in World of Light and some character's Classic Mode playthroughs, as well as an Assist Trophy.
Second, Spirits aren't the literal soul of a character. There are spirits for yoga poses, for crying out loud! Y'know, abstract concepts that don't have a soul in any way, shape, or form? Do yoga poses have souls? Furthermore, there are three spirits for King K. Rool in different outfits. Are you telling me that they're three different characters? If different outfits/artwork is enough to be a different Spirit, couldn't they just use Geno's star form (titled♪!?) as the basis for his Fighter Spirit instead? Or is that considered cheating?
Third, I don't know how long you've been around with regards to Smash speculation, but before Mewtwo and Lucas came back as DLC for Smash 4, A LOT of people considered trophies a death sentence for characters in the same way you and others consider spirits. Go back far enough, specifically around the release of Smash 4 on 3DS, and you'll find plenty of people who genuinely believed that a trophy meant no fighter. And to their credit, they kind of had a good reason to believe that.
In Melee, your fighter would start every fight as a trophy before losing the stand, in essence coming to life. In Brawl, a character's trophy was considered their body, and if they're touched by a living fighter while in their inert state, they would reawaken. While certain characters would be used for multiple trophies (Kirby for example used to have trophies showcasing all of his abilities, both from his home series and in Smash), it was generally accepted that these trophies were the characters souls, and since fighters have their own trophies, to already have a trophy in the game meant you couldn't also have a fighter trophy.
Spirits are much the same thing as trophies from prior Smash games. You may like to think they're different because of their whispy, ethereal design, but they're not different at all. So if trophies in Smash aren't considered enough to prevent a character from becoming a fighter, then spirits also aren't enough to prevent a character from becoming a fighter. And let's be real, do you really think Sakurai is going to not include a character because someone on the dev team had already included him as a goddamn PNG File? "Well I could include Geno as a DLC Fighter to please longtime fans, but the group of employees I got to work on the Spirits already used his PNG for a spirit, so I guess I can't do that. Too bad I don't have the authority to overrule their descision because I would've loved to include him, but oh well! better luck next time, I guess!"
Don't even waste your time being here dude. No point in bringing up dead arguments that have been debunked time and time again. So, if you would please kindly leave. Have a good day.
As the others have pointed out with reasons, a Spirit won't stop Geno from being made playable. In fact, they can rename Geno's existing spirit if they have to. Geno is not as unlikely as you may think. He still has a chance, spirit or not.
Sakurai upgraded trophies in 4 which are much more difficult to make and they'd have less incentive to upgrade. That didn't stop him and neither would a spirit.
Resident Evil Spirits were only added after FP2 was decided, making it unlikely for them to have had any plans. Same reason spirits didn't get in FP1 at all. But I guess with your incite on giving up on RE, we'll just give up on supporting Geno, pack it up everyone.
You literally just debunked this argument in the same paragraph, what was even the point of this?
Ultimate is probably Geno's last chance and none of us are going to stop supporting him for Ultimate because one guy came in here just to tell us spirits deconfirmed. We've heard this bit over and over, you had nothing new to say but you just needed to come into our own support thread and tell us how little of a chance because spirit. It's not even a good way to hand wave his evidence.
I guess I need to elaborate. Let's use Mario as an example. We have his fighter spirit where he's doing his "smash pose", but you can switch it to a more classic Mario. Now we look at Geno. If they were to add him right now, his fighter spirit would have him in his "smash pose", but we can switch it to his more classic image, which is already being used as a spirit.
Buddy, we have already talked about this spirit deconfirm argument in this thread every day.
You know, they can always add another image for Geno for another classic image, like a sprite Geno from the game he first appeared in.
Who says Geno needs a classic spirit? Cloud never got one.
No problem, they can his freakin sprite like Ness and Lucas.
I say that is not a good enough reason to disqualify Geno. Nice try. Just because the other DLC stuff were not in Smash yet does not mean Geno can't be in because he is not new.
He never did? Could've sworn he did. I'll check. If that's the case, then I guess Geno might need to keep Cloud company.
Awesome, like you said they could add more which is possible they only added 2. Mallow isn’t even present in the spirit board. They could add Croco, Smithy, Axem Rangers, and etc. It’s no use coming in here telling us that. We face this argument many times. Give up.
I just checked he didn’t...
Neither did Robin and (I believe) the two Pokemon Trainers.
1.) I'm saying that is how the first pass has done it, and if the second pass is doing the same, then I don't see it happening.
Exactly. The rules of the first Fighter Pass probably won't be identical to the second regarding spirits from the base game
Theres still a lot of smrpg characters that could be made into a spirit like boshi smithy yaridovich jonathan jones booster, the list goes on.
I remember people saying don’t expect 1st party characters than look what happened. If you’re not having you’re hopes up, good don’t waste your time giving us an argument we faced many times.
