Dang reading that Hayabusa article got me kinda excited for him. Could be a lot of fun!This isn’t related to Geno but please look at my Ryu Hayabusa write up for the news articles if you wondering how Hayabusa would work. I also wrote up a Lloyd article way back earlier this year that sucks.
“Ryu Hayabusa Infiltrates Smash” Ryu Hayabusa Character Analysis
Welcome to the seventh article of Smashboards Character Analysis! These articles will not be looking at why a character is or isn’t likely, so please do not expect that going in. Instead, they will focus on how a character might play in Smash and how their series might be represented within the...smashboards.com
“Ryu Hayabusa Infiltrates Smash” Ninja Gaiden Series Analysis
Hello and welcome to what content could appear within a potential Ninja Gaiden Challenger Pack. Previously, we looked at Hayabusa and how he could play as a fighter. In this part, we will look at what kind of content both retro and modern Ninja Gaiden could provide to Smash. Ninja Gaiden Stage...
I’m currently working on a new article that will hopefully be published within a week or so. I do have a Geno article partially written up which includes a SMRPG series analysis like the other ones I have. If I have any questions, I’ll come here to ask.
I doubt Sakurai cares about dragging out any potential disconfirmations out too long, in fact I'm willing to bet the timing for when content gets made and when it releases is all up to Nintendo. Remember that Sakurai said he wants character 7 out sooner than later anyways all the way back in July, and we still had to wait till October to get the next reveal; and we know that the video has likely been sitting around since mid August.
Geno doesn't even have a visible gun anyways so he wouldn't really count for this event. Regardless I doubt many returning Spirit events matter at all, for all we know Geno could be in the next one; and then release as a fighter at the end of the pass. People who think, "Nintendo may not want to remind ____ is a spirit, are overthinking it".
Mallow looks really fed up with somethingMan I wish an official Geno doll was made. Takara why didn’t you make this?!?! Such a missed opportunity. Oh and also can I just mention that Takara’s Mallow plush is probably the rarest piece of Mario merchandise I have ever seen. Only three pictures are know to exist. Good luck getting your hands on one. Mario RPG merchandise is really rare and expensive.
I’m spooked solid, but now you got me thinking about what Geno’s Stand would be.
Ah Geno, my favorite JoJo character.
Rip DanteUhhh guys.
I think I just found out why Dante hasn't shown up yet.
Same. Almost as much as I look forward to actually getting Geno in 2022.
Sorry for the late response, ive been a bit busy. But I totally agree. Looking at one possibility and being optimistic isn't as practical as looking at every possibility, especially when that could be a legitimate possible outcome. I still don't think this would entirely apply to Geno being in smash, (the Mario Purity Team rules) because this feels almost like an "exception case" due to fan demand and Geno's popularity in the idea of smash (me being optimistic), though It would probably open the gates to other fans who want other side characters in other Mario RPGs to request other things to Nintendo which I could see as an issue. But if im being completely honest with myself, Im not riding on the idea of it being an exception case because the reason Geno does or doesn't get in smash could very well be down to his main series and how it applies, and at this rate, its probably our biggest issue with him as a character, and does seem like a likely outcome unfortunately.
I dunno, I guess what you're saying is a possibility, but kinda feel like if they were super concerned with maintaining this "purity" or whatever in Smash, they probably wouldn't have allowed Geno to have a Mii costume in 4 and a Legendary Class spirit in Ultimate, along with characters like Vivian and Dimentio.
Thats what I said initially, and again, I believe Geno is coming, at the very least in some form, though with the purity rules in place, I'm considering it as a possibility. But I have hope, and I feel like Nintendo wouldn't block themselves from a character/missed opprotunity due to some rules they had set in place. Plus like you said, if it were an issue to begin with, his Mii Costume wouldn't have been in smash 4. I don't know where I stand on this theory. I feel very mixed about it. On one hand, Geno does seem like a likely candidate and if the purity rules were an issue to begin with, he wouldn't get represented outside of Mario in any capacity. Though on the other hand, Im worried of the possibility of him not getting in due to these rules. Id say I'm more leaning to him as a likely character than these rules getting in the way, but Im considering it a possibility.
Yes it is. I’ve spent well over a thousand dollars on the keychain set, Keshi set, cards, and other stuff. No plush though. I’ve seen separate auctions for the Mario and Yoshi plush each go for over a thousand by themselves. I know someone who has more stuff than I do including 5 of the plush and even he doesn’t have the Mallow plush. I can’t imagine what that would be worth.Mario RPG merchandise is really rare and expensive.
Wait they have the whole plush set except Mallow?!?
It's already pretty badass that pure fan demand has gotten us this far. Let's hope it can get us all the way there
Yep. He knows someone in Japan so he has gotten a ton of rare stuff from him, not just SMRPG merchandise.
Yea, for sure, I believe we can make the cut
No way.
Yeah, I'm subscribed to his channel. Very cool stuff.No way.
Having an almost full Mario RPG plush set is like having an infinity gauntlet. This person should get into contact with Patmat (a great Youtuber who covers video game merchandise). If you guys know who that is you are based.
Yeah, fair point... at the time they probably had no clue who these characters were and just went with the simplest designs.Man I wish an official Geno doll was made. Takara why didn’t you make this?!?! Such a missed opportunity. Oh and also can I just mention that Takara’s Mallow plush is probably the rarest piece of Mario merchandise I have ever seen. Only three pictures are know to exist. Good luck getting your hands on one. Mario RPG merchandise is really rare and expensive.
Mallow looks like he is about to strangle somebody.
That front orange hair sticking out.
You just reminded me how butthurt I am that we don't have more costumes and better costumes in Smash. The Mario cast alone could each easily have another dozen or so costumes and that wouldn't even scrape the bottom of the barrel. I had a list I was writing somewhere of costume ideas for everybody... I'll see if I can find it.
Looking at that mountain pile of discarded robots just makes me miss Gamma even more. I know he was in Sonic Battle but I wish Sega would bring him back somehow. Assuming Omega was supposed to be his replacement he never really did it for me, and I thought his voice was annoying (Omega in the comics was funny though).
It's just amazing to me to see two people I used to watch on Deviantart work on something like that and bring a bit of Geno in another world!
