Tonight Geno didn’t awaken. Don’t know why. I’m sad. But on other hand Sakurai has done all the best for this franchise and I’m grateful about that. Also, I got my other most wanted which is Mega Man. Also I enjoy a couple of other characters and my favorite First Party franchise: Zelda. I don’t need approval for this, Geno will always live in me and be a special part of my heart and childhood. I’m 30 years old and I remember opening that box of SMRPG with 7 or 8 years in 1997 and discovering this wonderful game and amazing character in the woods. I wish I have you in my favorite game: Smash. In fact, I still believe it wasn’t on Sakurai hands and he will make a gift for us like a Full Fighter Geno as a bonus or later DLC.
I acknowledge Sephiroth and his popularity, though I have never played FF, not even on my childhood days. But I know who he is and he is such a nice addition, of course I can’t deny that. I just can’t conceive No Playable Geno because without Geno, Everyone’s Here sounds distant. On the other hand, only with Base Game this game is already perfect and thanks for that. I just wanted, at the least, a deluxe costume with songs. I’m not losing hope until Sakurai ends Ultimate. We have 3 more dlc, the songs takedown by Nintendo, Sakurai’s recognition and probably more slot as Bonus or Fighter Pass 3.
I simply ignore and don’t care about haters. I know myself and won’t give them credit. It’s a waste of time and energy. I have never played not even a single FF or KH or many more franchises in SMASH and I would never throw garbage to them cause in my world, everyone’s welcome. Thanks to Smash I also discovered more franchises. Probably will end up trying FF7 original and then the remake.
There is no character such unique as Geno. Geno is pure love, memories, epic, sad, friendship and heroic story.
Cheers to all amazing people here and let’s get this show on the road, whether in Smash or not.
Geno, hope you awake on your 25° birthday, somehow, somewhere...
Geno.
Gone...
Not forgotten.
