I don't know for sure, but I'm not completely buying it. It feels like he's way too certain on specific things/characters that even Vergeben is unsure about, especially after the whole situation with Hitagi and the bait leaks. I believe the convesation he had with Vergeben could be real but as a whole, I just have a gut feeling that the entire post only contains half-truths and doubled-down speculations.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Any leaker who "disconfirms" stuff is bul****ting. If you don't know the roster, then how do you know who isn't in? If you know they are not a playable character then tell us what you saw proof they are in the game as. That's the only reason a leaker would be able to disconfirm something. Unless we are getting Geno, Banjo, and Sora assist trophies and a melmetal pokeball as dlc, then this doesn't make any sense.
Not to mention another user in the thread claims both he and the OP have heard Geno but believe it's leak bait
Oh yeah, the KronoXIV guy, right? Don't quote me on this but I could have sworn I've seen this guy making extremely anti-Geno statements about not wanting him in the game for a month now on GameFAQs. I may need to double check if it was the same guy, but if so, I don't believe a thing he says about his "sources," yet alone having any legitimate ones.
I mean the person making the post on Gamespot saying Hitagi was legit before Hitagi came out and said he had fake information.
I love when people like this guy in the thread try to claim "X character is fake/leak bait" when they themselves don't even know for sure who is the legit character. Verg did this as well.
This person posted that thread 10 hours ago and Hitagi's post saying he's been leak baited is from yesterday so Hitagi posted first
Ah okay my mistake. If anything that's even weirder considering Hitagi themselves said they had recieved fake info. So I'm not sure why the person is trying to say Hitagi never backtracked considering he made claims and then later was unsure about them and then said it was bull****. That's the definition of backtracking.
>It's a Geno and SMRPG are obscure episode
What do you mean?
I mean that we've had pages and pages of explanations as to how SMRPG is actually pretty popular and well remembered among Nintendo fans on a large scale, has sold well, has gotten a recent rerelease as a part of the highly selling SNES Classic, and Geno keeps getting voted to the top of polls. So he's really not as super obscure as people like you try to say as well-intentioned as you may be in this situation. Dragon Quest in the US is obscure. Super Mario RPG is not obscure. Just because it came out 22 years ago doesn't make it obscure.
His entire post seems like a contradiction to me, to be honest:
I was the person who claimed to be a brand ambassador (I corrected myself by saying it was my friend -- which is indeed the case. A bit of an error on my part. I simply wanted to call it out as BS. Then, funnily enough, some guy says he knows the OP and that the OP heard geno but that it's "leakbait", as if he'd know if it were leakbait. LOL.
"G-guys, I know there's an enix rep, but I don't know who the rep is! I can't figure it out... I heard Geno, but that's definitely leakbait! A-and, Sora makes no sense..." -random literally-who gamefaqs 'leaker'.
I would definitely like it to have "spyro reignited"-levels of remastery, keeping the angled overhead view of the original game, and some epic lighting for atmosphere. I think it would be SUPER cool to give the game some voice acting, but that might be asking for too much. I wouldn't mind if we had classic grunts and such, but it'd be interesting to see a Mario game go all the way with voice clips.
There are many reasons why Geno is still likely for the SE rep. He is very popular in the Smash community, he represents the very first Mario RPG, he represents the bonding of Nintendo and Square Enix, and he is a character who Sakurai stated that he likes and triedto put in Brawl and Smash 4. More than any other Square Enix character, Geno (and Mallow) are the only ones who are important to Nintendo and Nintendo's past. Sora only has a few games on Nintendo consoles with the last one being 6 years ago and remastered multiple times on competitor's consoles, and adding him would be free advertising for a competitor, making Sora an unlikely pick with Nintendo choosing the DLC. Dragon Quest is only popular in Japan. No global demand or global appeal, and it would be difficult as hell to get the rights to one. All this and Sakurai and Nintendo already have the rights to Geno, and not to mention that Geno and Mallow are the only SE characters who Nintendo would make money off of, making them more likely with Nintendo choosing the DLC. Also, would Nintendo really refuse another Mario character on the roster?
Considering that user joined in 2014 I would hardly call them qualified or experienced enough to make that call.
Why should we explain ourselves to whatever a filthy scaly says
I don't know. It definitely feels like a case of piggybacking to me. Is he not wrong that Geno support died down during Smash 4?
Why did you guys piggyback off of K. Rool to begin with by forming some made-up "trinity"? Also, "filthy scaly"? Wow. Way to disrespect fans of a more popular character.
That's a funny/wrong thing to say considering he was always near the top of polls taken around when the ballot was open.
I'm sorry, what? You came in here and tried to accuse Geno fans of "piggybacking" and are surprised people responded negatively to what that person said?
I think he would fit well in the Legend of Zelda. Maybe he could appear in Kokiri Forest?
If it had died, would we have gotten the Geno costume?
Wait what. So you are saying us geno fans as a whole made up that term and that we made up the whole Trinity thing. If you actually think we would do that then I think it best if you leave. Unless you were kidding. I dunno who made up filthy scaly but it wasn't us as a whole. Just because one person in our thread says that doesn't mean we all think that. And then the whole Trinity thing makes sense to have geno part of it because he is a heavily requested character, take it from sakurai.
Ah. The classic "It was just a joke!" excuse. And yes, you should have put /s in the comment if it was indeed a joke. Sarcasm is hard to detect on the Internet.
Yeah. I should leave. The only reason I went off like that in the first place was because someone else told me the trinity was made up. I guess maybe that guy didn't know the whole story, and neither did I. I apologize for generalizing the whole fandom like this. Most of you guys are nice and swell.
So you really just took some ****** thing some random person said about geno fans and the trinity at face value and decided to come into the geno thread to what exactly? Take us to task over it? I'm honestly at a loss here.
It's fine, I don't know how the situation is over that thread, but if you ever feel like theorizing the smallest detail or tweet for a character's chances as DLC, and seeing people go insane by the wait you're always welcome here.
I can’t speak to the Smash 4 speculation cycle as I pretty much skipped it assuming Geno’s best shot had come and gone with Brawl. That said, the trinity was absolutely a thing in Brawl. In fact, my recollection was that Krystal from Star Fox Adventures had a pretty huge following in those days as well, challenging K. Rool, Isaac, and Banjo for the 3rd spot.
The guy literally has no history. He has an account on both GameFAQs and Reddit that are less than a month old but claims to have long reaching ties with Vergeben? If you look at his supposed PMs, Vergeben is allegedly sharing PARAGRAPHS of information with this guy despite being very to the point with everyone else, including people Vergeben himself called friends. He's more or less claiming that Vergeben trusts him more than his closest friends and that's a tall order to the point that I don't think Vergeben will even dignify this guy with a response.
Thats the thing, it didnt. We were still consistantly high in polls, and requests and still had an active fan base.
owjies
post above me does a good job of explaining things, I believe. ^_^
The only ones they’d make money off of? We’ve got nothing to remotely prove that other than some major guesswork. Like that takes lots of leaps in saying we know how these major companies would operate in specific ways to make such a claim. Plus any in-house Square character would then theoretically under this model be as profitable as Geno or Mallow. Saying they’re the only profitable Square characters for Nintendo is way too big of a leap to make.
. This was your friendly PSA for today.Really, with that put into consideration, Geno's only real competition is Lara Croft, THE Tomb Raider, and one of the most popular heroines of gaming. And even then they'd need to go abroad to Crystal Dynamics for negotiations.
Having Sora revealed as DLC too close to KH3’s launch could actually end up being bad for Square as well, as it could cause potential newcomers to the series to hold off on getting it because of a predicted Switch version that will likely never happen, but seems possible because of Sora in Smash.
Oh I admit that Sora certainly has issues as well. Don’t get me wrong, he’s got a lot riding against him. I just don’t know if that’s enough to outright consider him such a non-opponent.
This is where it shows how you haven't been around for that long. Yes it is true Geno didn't have a ton of support for smash 4 (because we were basically kicked in the balls after brawl). But Geno had way more support than K. Rool did during the Brawl days. K. Rool only started gaining a ton of steam once he hadn't been in a DKC game for almost a decade. Before that, he was popular but honestly people weren't begging for him.
That joke wasn't hard to detect at all lmao

Probably? This thread is on FIRE. It's going to hit 441 pages before the new year. At least, that's my bet.
