Mother (Earthbound Beginnings on Wii U) and Mother 2 (Earthbound) are the only ones I’ve done to completion, have a fan translated version of Mother 3 on a GBA cartridge, but haven’t got around to it due to the current backlog that I have.
This is a game that makes any human cry at the end. Get ready. XP
I’d see him in Wooded Kingdom (if Square wasn’t stingy and allowed it), but yeah, Geno and even Mallow appearing as playable characters in future Mario Kart and Mario Party games/DLC.
Man, that'd be amazing. It would be such a throwback with the Wooded Kingdom placement. Maaaannn, I really wish there could be a way for Nintendo to buy the SMRPG rights from Square.
You can't find a more close-minded Mother series fan than me. I have played Earthbound ten times, Earthbound Beginnings 2 times, and I am playing Mother 3 for the 2nd time. Mother 3 is my favorite game ever. I also love Super Mario RPG, I have played it twice, and it's my second favorite game ever
That would be pretty neat, but pretty impossible

I've played Earthbound once, but never got around to playing the other games. I really want to find some time during the holidays to play through it again
mother 3 and earthbound are some of my favorite games! i didnt like mother at all though, waiting for that one snes earthbound hack remake of it to come out (hopefully before i croak lol) to try it again to see if i actually like it
I played through all of the Mother/Earthbound games a few years before Smash 4 came out. The series is absolutely amazing. Off the top of my head, some of the big overlaps between SMRPG and the Mother series that I can think of are the awesome humor in all games, the extremely well-made unique characters, and the fantastic settings in each game that allows players to get lost in.
I brought this character up once already, but Blade is the most neglected member of the Smithy Gang.
I'd love Dracula as a fighter. Forget about his transformation, that could just be used for his final smash.
I think I know why they won't:
The Mad Adder/Earth Link (The giant cobra you fight in Smithy's Factory).
To be fair, I see wave 2 as a guarantee eventually. Smash 4 had 7 DLC fighters over the span of a year and a half and that was on a dying console and while they were already planning Ultimate. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is 6-7 years until the next smash comes after Ultimate so I expect them to support adding additional content to it well past the first year.
I totally agree. Most of the other members (Exor, Mack, Bowyer) were made in the likeness of weapons, so Boomer’s samurai design really makes him stand out. And the end of his battle was a real twist...It suddenly gets really emotional (Sad Music playing and everything), and you actually find yourself somewhat lamenting his fall in battle.
Just give me Geno and Ninten in wave 1 and no more speculation for me
I will keep posting on this thread long after Geno comes, it is a sanctuary
A counterpoint I'll propose on the Smash 4 DLC vs Ultimate is that 3 of those 7 were returning veterans, so in terms of overall additions to Smash as a franchise they'd be roughly comparable.

(Sorry to tag ya) had a good right to come in here and see what the halabaloo was going on. 
A.G.L.
was saying earlier, but that is up to the leakers in question and where they want to put their info. I will agree that the first bit of info WAS Square related and thus some connection to Geno. Yet now we are getting some new stuff not at all related to our Star Boy.
i originally bought it on the wii (and then i played through it on my hacked 3ds) but im getting a snes with mario rpg and a few other games soon.
mario tennis aces and kirby star allies have been getting character updates (free ones at that). and i love sakurai, but i dont think he's 100% needed if nintendo wants his team to continue adding fighters. imo he should just supervise development of dlc fighters and work on the stuff he wants to work on
My ratings: Mack > Exor > Yaridovich > Smithy > Boomer > Zoomer (heh) > Bowyer > Axem Rangers
*Stares at this post for all eternity*
what about the square list made you think it might not be geno? none of the characters seemed particularly likely to come out on top vs geno other than sora, at least to me
You know, there’s a counterargument to almost everything. It just seems to me like you’re worrying about something that simply isn’t going to happen.
Yeah some people on some threads tend to be a bit tone deaf due to bias or overly skepticism and what not. It's probably why Verge is so careful to not say names he is not 100% sure about, people already make literal fanfics about him at this point and twist his words and make up new ones all the freaking time. I wouldn't be surprised if many insiders or leakers decide to stop doing what they do simply because the smash community in big portions are being completely tone deaf and twisting words to their favor for no particular mature reason. Hopefully the rest of us who actually know to READ what you've been posting will keep things more under control and you don't have to go repeating yourself on things you were carefully wording. It's just tiring having to clear things up over and over again because people simply won't READ properly, so I totally get what you're starting to feel.
It could be like Suikoden. The best version of Suikoden.
Don't get me wrong. I still am personally betting on Geno (this is NOT a leak, please don't misinterpret my words, anyone). However, given the sheer number of sources who have heard a couple other names, I'm accepting of the possibility they have. I'm kinda just bracing myself, if that's another way of putting it.
I've beaten all three games multiple times, however I missed EarthBound when it came out, I tried it on emulator back in the melee days but gave up after getting stuck in Moonside. I eventually revisted it after playing all three games back to back before Brawl came out. The MOTHER 3 menu patch had just come out in time for that... I also played it again when the fan translation was officially finished. I replayed all the games quite a bit. It's been a hot minute since i've replayed MOTHER 3 in full though.
ah. that makes a lot more sense. i dont think the amount of times someones heard a name means a whole lot when square supposedly funnel out leak bait quite a bit, but i do understand wanting to brace yourself for disappointment if he doesnt get in. thanks for clarifying!
I know you all are trying to keep certain details that you've come across quiet and I totally get why, but are you willing to say whether Geno was one of the two names that supposedly were neck and neck in terms of being the SE character? Because as someone without info who is up to date on your posts it seemed like kind of an implication that Geno was one of those two names hence why you guys brought it up here. Am I off in thinking that?
A bit late, but I always liked Jagger and Jinx from Monstro Town.
Mother 3 is the only game that no one can ever stop crying while playing it. It's SUCH an amazing game, and I hope it can be remade of translated for the Switch
Can't stop stressing how this is my favorite game and will never be beaten if I ever decide to play Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 6, Banjo-Kazooie, Golden Sun, or any other amazing game or RPG
