Ness is a bit iffy. You’re right about those points but Earthbound is like THE cult classic & is often cited as being one of the best games ever. Though, I bet a lot of its fans discovered it through Smash. So theoretically the same could happen to Geno/Mario RPG if he were to get in.

made a interesting point about he ( 
) and his relevance in SMRPG: https://twitter.com/MonkeyDLenny/status/1308508009472163843?s=20
In my opinion I don't think he was a side character he had a very important roll in Mario RPG.
Unfortunately, I can't agree. Meeting Geno is just another beat to progressing the story. While his presence is vital for the story to go forward, he is, in the end, another reason for Mario to stop Smithy. We're not watching the story through his experiences. Not to say he doesn't have reason to be; he and Bowser both have good motivations (obviously secondary characters can have motives and arcs), but it is Mario who drives the plot forward by continuously engaging with the Smithy Gang and other shenanigans.

made a good video about who will CP7 be, and yup. The Starwarrior appears: https://youtu.be/DUjIB0Rp81kThe Newcomer thread suffers from GDS: Geno Derangement Syndrome. It's unfortunately not curable and has no treatment.
The #SmashBrosUltimate @NintendoVS Challenge Cup September 2020 tournament is approaching!

I don't like when some people in this thread act as Geno is number 1 but..........no the statement you said is correct.
Ah... well, I have played it (multiple times) and that's just how I feel. Not downplaying his importance to the story. If anything they're all equally important.
I deleted my Twitter and apparently now I can't even see Twitter links
Yep, not denying that.
When I first saw the tweet, I just glanced over the wording and only took away that a tournament was happening. Didn't notice that cheeky wording at first...
I don't think Geno is more recognizable than Corrin, i feel that's too much of a "Smash Bubble" issue.
I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you two are referring to in this instance - what's being hinted at here? As far as I can tell, they're just using Min Min for puns to advertise this tourney.
Quoted straight from the tweet itself...
That's not really hinting at anything. "Will you use Min Min, or will you use someone else you've been practicing with?" There's no subtext or poor wording here.
I thought that meant the player entering the tournament working on another character aside from Min Min in terms of how they play them.
Then why not just use the "someone else you've been practicing with" wording? There's no point in wording it like it's a hint at an upcoming reveal if it's not really meant to be a hint.
Because it's not too uncommon to refer to practicing with another character as 'working on' them; I've been working on my Olimar, for example, but most of my work has been put into Banjo & Kazooie. This isn't exactly an uncommon turn of phrase. I know we're all antsy and looking for a Gotcha! from Nintendo to herald something new for the game, but we need to be cautious about seeing things that aren't there.
Where is Plant.
My biggest problem with when people use the "side argument" against Geno is that it doesn't hold up as well when you compare Geno's significance in SMRPG to characters with similar significance in other games, especially other JRPGS.
I agree. But, the reason we even debate this at all is because detractors and good-faith-questioners show up and basically ask "Why do you support this side character so much?" They strike me as knowing very little about SMRPG, so we then have to explain that Geno is more than a side character and why. If it didn't get asked frequently, it wouldn't get talked about much.
After listening to Delzethin describe how Lloyd would probably play, I've gone from neutral on Lloyd to wanting him. I love swordies and had been thinking recently about how none of them are very combo-centric. I was thinking that could be Sora's niche, but now I know it would work for Lloyd too!
Something about this has me busting the fattest gut right now
Thanks for the heads-up! I'm very slowly working on an RPG. Only doing sprites in MS Paint for now, but this could be really helpful for me 5ish years from now when I'm ready for the next step!
If you want a free program for making RPG's, when I was young I used a program called "OHRRPGCE" that is fairly easy to use.
So this basically confirms that Square Enix even though they don’t do anything with the series without Nintendo, thinks it’s an important game. I think I talked about before if I actually did is the Mii costume significance. Why let an obscure Mario character give treatment of the closest thing of being a playable character when there are other more important, recognizable, and iconic Square characters to give that treatment? That Mii costume and the article could be a sign that they could be open with Geno’s inclusion. Not to mention the seven squares memo seeing Geno viable enough to be on the list of potential characters.
