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

[Firox]

(And my actual main is Ganondorf)

Hey, if your taste leans more towards ginger demon kings, be my guest.

 

[Kremling Kommander]

That doesn't apply to me, I'm a flat earther.
(And my actual main is Ganondorf)



Wario is actually awesome to play as, much better than Brawl and Smash 4 imo.

That much I can agree on. In Smash 4 he wasn’t bad, but he felt slow in many areas and unsatisfying to play, as well as his shoulder bash being removed from Brawl. In Ultimate, the only complaints I have about him are Wario-Man being removed and still not much Wario Land in his moveset, but he’s really great otherwise.

I think I love him in Project M the most, because his moveset is more Wario Land, and less WarioWare. I don't hate WarioWare, I just wish Wario Land had more.

Every time I think of Project M Wario, the first thing that always comes to my mind is “GO!”

 

[StarMagician]

I hope he's the next Deluxe Mii Costume.

What if Fighter 7 is the Geno friends we made along the way

 

[Musubi]

I have two questions regarding how Geno would be represented in Smash and wanted to know everyone's thoughts:

1) What do you think Geno's pose would be in his official Smash render?

2) When you picture Geno moving around the battlefield, how do you think Sakurai will make his cape work? Will it be closed most of the time like a cloak or will it be flowing behind him like Marth's cape?

1. I've no idea what it would actually be... but I'd want it to be some sort of variation on Mega Man's Smash 4 render pose, just to further tease everyone who thought that Geno would be too similar to Mega Man.
2. Depends on whether or not his cape gets used in his moveset. If it's not, then it'll likely be flowing like Marth's cape.

Honestly it is pretty comical how many insiders and signs point to Geno and people want to still handwave those things away as "jokes" and Geno fans "looking too deeply into things."

Literally now Ryce on top of numerous insiders haven't been coy about something coming for Super Mario RPG and/or Geno specifically. Imran, Jeff, André, Ryce, and probably some I'm forgetting have been wiggling their eyebrows about these things for a bit now and people still just think they're all joking. Here's my question to those people: If these insiders know how rabid Nintendo fans can be (because let's be honest, we can be ravenous at times), why would they tease something over and over again for no reason just to kid around? Sure, some insiders tease Nintendo fans at times for their over-analytical nature, but repeatedly with the same joke? To the SMASH community nonetheless? ...nah, something is fishy.

Look all I'm saying is, and I've been saying this since that night before the rumored July Direct and all those insiders decided to get together to eyebrow wiggle, but these things mean something. If there were only a few things going for Geno that were kinda reaching and maybe one or maybe two insiders teased him a time or two, then I'd be more skeptical. But it really feels like all of these signs point to something and I personally feel like anyone who doesn't think so is just in denial at this point.

1) No way to know

2) Probably flowing behind him like Marth. It would look cooler that way anyway.

 

[AceAttorney9000]

Fatmanonice what are your opinions on Ryce and his recent Geno-postings? Think they're possibly a sign, or do they mean nothing?

1) Now, I have no idea what Geno’s render would be, but I do think Sakurai and his team will try to drive home the “doll possessed by a star spirit” idea in his fighter render with some clever posing.
2) Honestly I can see it flowing against whatever direction he’s moving towards, though not to the same degree of someone like Marth’s cape. Maybe it’ll be more subtle like Peach and Daisy’s dress physics?

 

[KCCHIEFS27]

In a full calendar year plus a couple weeks, we’ve gotten just byleth and minmin as far as character reveals go.

This is absurd

 

[MattOnwheels]

Then I want my money back. Fatmanonice deserves to be his own character!

 

[coolcat12347]

So.


If/when Geno gets in, who's gonna blast Rawest/waltz of the forest?

 

[AceAttorney9000]

Who's Ryce?

An insider. Some things he's notable for...

• He leaked the base roster for another fighting game, Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite.
• I believe he leaked the entire Season 2 DLC for Street Fighter V (might be wrong on this one, so to anyone who knows, feel free to correct me on this)
• When Shinobi was teasing Banjo before his reveal, Ryce chimed in and basically said "he's not doing this to tease people", supporting the notion that Shinobi really was hinting at Banjo before his reveal
• ... and now he's making posts about Geno, at a time when other insiders like Jeff Grubb have been making similar posts about Geno

 

[Phoenix Douchebag]

I think I love him in Project M the most, because his moveset is more Wario Land, and less WarioWare. I don't hate WarioWare, I just wish Wario Land had more.

Stop reminding me of how Every single Wario moveset in Smash fan products is better than the official thing.

Smash 64 Remix Wario, Smash Flash 2 Wario, Project M Wario, Smash Crusade Wario, the gigachad Smash 2 Wario......


all of these are honestly more fun than canon Wario (namely because his Shoulder Bash is a Special Move)

Yay, today is a good day. Can't say why. All I need now is Geno

...and a gf

2D girls are better mate.

Decided to line up these two to see what matched up:

History of the Tokyo Game Show - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Nintendo Direct - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

So, in relation to one another, these are the years that TGS and major Nintendo presentations happened in the same week in recent history:

2013

Yep... That's it. Seems like they proactively try to stay in their own lanes. I've noticed that the presentations and TGS are typically about a week apart. Of course, COVID-19 has shreked everything and I could see a possible exception being made simply because E3 didn't happen this year.

Im honestly flabbergasted Nintendo seems to be allergic to TGS, and i don't understand why.

I mean Nintendo has no issue announcing important games in a gaming event that takes place on Los Angeles USA, but TGS is too much for them? Is there any real reason as to why?

 

[SpectreJordan]

I don’t really think Ryce is hinting at anything. AFAIK, he’s been out of the leak game for a couple years now. I mean there’s a chance he could’ve gotten back into it, but I’d focus more on Imran & Grubb.

I still don't see how people interpretted Ryce's statement as just a statement, it was presented as if something is coming in the future. Also people seemed too quick to dismiss it, even though this thread jumps the gun all the time at the smallest thing. Sus af.
...

Been playing Among Us a lot recently. Lmao

Back in the day Nintendo used to have its own show called Space World every November and then it was basically replaced by Directs. Historically, Sony has so overwhelmingly dominated TGS that it was virtually pointless for the other two to make an appearance. This is also why Microsoft making an appearance this year is such a big deal.

Honestly, I've no idea if Ryce is hinting at Geno or just messing around. At the very least, I think it's worth keeping an eye on, at least until Ryce comes out and explicitly says he's not dropping hints here.

Yeah, I don't know why there are people who still see this as taking the piss.

The same could be said for Waluigi and Nintendo lately.

 

[TheShiningAbsol]

For those of you that have played Legacy XP, what's one thing about Geno in it that you hope carries over into his moveset/animations in Ultimate? Obviously, looking at Ridley as an example, he'll likely end up being pretty different than he is in LXP, but anyway.

For me, I'm hoping they have Geno's star form enter the doll like his LXP battle intro animation, as well as have the star leave the doll and fly around the screen in one of the victory poses. In LXP, the star flies offscreen of course, but I feel like it's awkward to leave the doll just laying there, so I think it'd be better to have it fly around instead. I would hope timed hits are a given, as well as his attacks using RPG's sound effects.

Oh my god, then it has to be true. That guy has a record for having claims being true. Even if he's DLC 7 or not, Geno is in Smash in Fighter pass 2. This calls for a pre celebratation.

2) When you picture Geno moving around the battlefield, how do you think Sakurai will make his cape work? Will it be closed most of the time like a cloak or will it be flowing behind him like Marth's cape?

1. Probably something similar to his Legacy XP render. If not, then Geno doing a cool pose with one arm being a gun arm, a pose where his body is facing the side, crossing his arms, cape flowing a bit and his eyes are looking right. Or something akin to Greninja's render where it looks like he's posed in the air with his cape flowing.

2. I can see Geno's cape working like Marth's or K. Rool's where it just flaps when he walks, runs, jumps, throws out a attack, etc. It's hard for me not to picture that.

 

[CannonStreak]

Well, Geno is still from an obscure, spinoff game, and had a big role in that game alone. He also wasn't the main character. No problem with that from me, but I just thought of something, if this is allowed...

After Geno, which obscure, spinoff game character who did not have the main character role and maybe was just from that one game would you like to see after Geno? Surely, Geno would open the door for such characters, huh?

 

[Rural_Juror]

I'm pretty sure if anything FP7 is likelier to be revealed Next week if PAX stuff is this week. In 2018, Isabelle was intended to be revealed the week after PAX, and in 2019 Terry was revealed the week after PAX. Obviously that's not too much of a pattern especially with this year, but food for thought.

1) I dunno. No doubt something dynamic that shows how damn cool Geno is.
2) It's a small cape, so I'd say less of a flow than Marth's but still a flow. I don't think he'll use his cape in any of his moves, but I could see it being used for a taunt and/or win screen

1) Maybe a 3D version of his classic render like the Smashfield render
2) Like Marth or K. Rool

 

[Griselda]

I'm back. And apparently I missed out on us moving from fighting to dating advice? ..Like, that's just an observation. I don't have any input or advice of my own. I'm gay on paper, but in practice don't have any serious interest in finding a girlfriend or anything of the sort.


..On the topic of hints, people trying to act like all of the 'teasing' is only nothing when it concerns Geno is silly. It reminds me of that "It's not my wallet" scene from Spongebob.

I have this weird gut feeling that after Geno gets in Mallow will gain a lot of support.

 

[MattX20]

Even without the "winking"/tongue in cheek comments from some of the insiders, Geno's still got plenty going on for him evidence wise.

Well, as you could tell from my signature, my most wanted character is Fawful. He was in three games compared to Geno’s one, but if people think Geno’s obscure, Fawful would probably be in the same boat. I’d love to see him climb up in popularity for Smash someday, though with how huge the pool of potential Mario characters still is, I get why he’s often lost in the shuffle.

For real though, in terms of dating advice, I have absolutely zero. I'm 19 and I've been single my whole life, as depressing as that sounds.

It's okay to be single, though I can assure, you, you will find that special someone one day.

 

[ForsakenM]

Speaking of giving advice, here's some good pieces of advice for ya.

• There is always more than one side to every story.
• Look before you leap.
• Always do your own homework to inform yourself.
• People aren't always who you think they are.
• The person in the wrong isn't always who you think they are.

I'm sure you will all understand what this is in reference to soon enough.
