Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

[TheBeastHimself]

Yeah I can't say that makes any sense sometimes I get random dreams that make no sense either that's probably what happened with your dream.

I have a question out of curiosity. I've noticed multiple people have come here and said that they've had dreams about Geno being Smash or Geno being revealed. During the day before you went to sleep, did you just have Geno a lot on your mind? Were you thinking about Geno and Smash as you were settling into bed? I'd love to have one of these dreams instead of boring stuff I can't remember.

Before I went to bed I was making a retelling of SMRPG but otherwise not really I guess it might've been because of that.

 

[random rendum]

I don't know what else you expected from your post. Did you think it'd be a huge revelation to us? It would be like me going into the Bandanna Dee thread and saying "jeez fellas, I dunno, he's basically just a Goomba with a hat!"

We've heard it before, and just like the hat Goomba nonsense it's all been addressed before. Use your head

No it's not. I WANT geno, and Square Enix not wanting him is a valid thing to worry about.

 

[Deleted member]

The few vague things I remember from it are a metallic slinky-like sculpture wiggling around in place somewhere, an x-ray like still of a man and woman doing the act of copulating (despite the fact that I haven't seen sex at all), and two businessmen on a beach in fighting poses presumably about to fight.

Like I said, no sense. The entirety of M&L Dream Team made more sense than that, I'd wager.

My goodness I can relate to this kind of weirdness in dreams I have.

I agree that they're something to worry about, but it seemed like you were trying to start a flame war in this thread by trying to get some of us rattled up. We know Square is a problem, we've known for years. Square is the reason why he's irrelevant, and it's all because they don't even use him, nor have they tried even doing anything with him since he's a Mario character and can't fit in well with their games. It's like Nintendo owning a Sonic character; they can't go in a Mario game because he's not from Mario, he's from Sonic's world and it wouldn't make sense for him to be in a Mario game, unless it's a Mario sport spin-off. Nintendo is more nice about third-party stuff, so I'm sure they would give a character like that to SEGA for good use, AND for a reasonable price.

I always go on Smashboards before bed. And so typically, while trying to drift off to sleep I'll fantasise about character movesets and reveal trailers. That'll likely be it haha.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Even though I have no personal opinion on Geno besides really liking his design, his inclusion would make a ton of people happy! Plus the SNES is a fantastic console and more reps from that era are always a good thing.

SNES really needs more characters in the roster and I'm not just talking about characters who debuted in that era and has appeared in games onwards, but retro characters who only appeared on the SNES. Geno fits that description.

Look what we have here! A Katakuri avatar. Glad to see a follow Strawhat on these forums.

On top of that, Sakurai has referred to Geno as a 'retro rep' in the past. Straight from his own mouth, Geno is classified as a 'retro rep'. It may even mean that his chances are a bit greater because Sakurai loves his retro reps. Geno not being a recent character might... oddly be a boost that he needs? I dunno.

As for that 14 character thing... uh... hmmm. I really don't care much beyond Banjo and Geno (and Shadow, counting ATs). I guess just those three and wildcard the rest with other fan wants and otherwise popular characters that aren't originating from anime/manga/other media.

I will say, PP hasn't outright been labelled a retro rep, when that designation usually goes hand in hand with oddball characters, even though he's one of the oldest known recurring Mario characters. Make of that what you will.

If we get more after the Fighters Pass, you guys can hope for a Spirits Pass where 5 fighters are spirits in the base game. Their spirit forms will have (Spirit) added to their title and their Fighter Spirit will be "___ (Fighter)". In World Of Light, they can only be played in New Game + mode. I hope someone who has worked in Ultimate has this idea in mind.

EDIT: The Spirits Pass would come with only one or two music tracks added to misc. stages, and no new stages will be added. That should help reduce stress and save time.

 

[Qeomash]

I hope that any future DLC isn't restricted to a theme at all, unless that theme is doing the largest fan requests. Geno, Isaac, Banjo, Waluigi, whomever.

 

[ninjahmos]

You never know what game companies might be planning or doing next. Especially Nintendo.

They're going to remove Mario and Luigi from Smash and replace them with more Bowsers.

... What? Look at NoA's presidential change. This is Obviously Happening™.

We don’t even really know who this Doug Bowser guy is.

He has a Mario and Luigi plush tied up in Gamecube controllers in his office.

I think we know enough.

You pretty much summarized all the remaining, relevant video game characters I could think of, except I would probably swap Shadow with Knuckles as my own personal preference.

I wonder if it would even be possible (due to contracts) to commission Xander Mobus to do that for, say, a mod (given I'm in pessimism-ville about Geno's chances right now and am waiting for mods).

 

[3DSNinja]

I honestly think Geno's chances are greater then ever, especially with Vergeben out of the picture.

Man, I wish I had your optimism. A lot of you guys are optimistic, and I can understand that, but I just don't see a light at the end of the tunnel, really. At this point, I'm doubting we're even getting the Mii costume back.

Nintendo has obviously heard us due to all of the evidence we've seen to SMRPG getting more limelight again. However, it doesn't really mean anything if Square says no, you know?

 

[EricTheGamerman]

I feel like we should be hearing something about 3.0 soon and that'll hopefully give us an idea of where we're headed for the rest of the DLC. We're going on three and a half months since Joker was even announced, and he should be approaching a finished state given that time frame. All evidence points towards us getting Home Run Contest and Stage Builder back in that update as well, so as a community we generally know what's coming. We just want to actually SEE it ourselves and have some more concrete details.

I know it's a pipe dream, but I'd love to see a little bit more of a roadmap for future content. Not a dedicated Challenger Pack #2 releasing in June, but some more insight into the overall process Sakurai is using to approach this DLC cycle. Smash 4 was a borderline random release schedule that led to bunched-up releases like Lucas, Roy, and Ryu releasing on the same day. I think this time around we'll see things spread out more evenly. We've had an idea of what was next since the base game's final Direct and Piranha Plant, so I'd like to see them inform us of the next character with each one's release upcoming.

I did notice all the "lack of hype" comments recently, however, and I was definitely confused by those. I mean the game was the reason to be hype was logic enough for me, but I guess not knowing a more accurate idea of the future characters along with the deconfirms has really hurt some people's opinions of the game and the overall cycle. I don't necessarily agree, but I do think it would be a nice courtesy thing to know what's coming up.

We are now the most viewed newcomer speculation thread on this board.

 

[domriver]

Hello fellow Geno members. You know what would be cool . If we could modify the announcer voice. Change it to female/male/robotic just a thought. I personally enjoyed the female voice for League of Legends.

The announcer has a lot of lines, so getting extra actors might be too much. It would still be cool to have the option though.

or "GENNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" (with a bit of Killer Instinct "Ultra" influence)

 

[GillyGrime]

I wouldn't be surprised if audio of the announcer shouting "Geno" exists or existed somewhere.

According to Xander Modus (the announcer), he was given a list of several names to announce for recordings, so he wouldn't know which of the characters make the actual roster. He mentioned this in regards to the fake Smash 4 Rayman leak, where he recorded "RAYMAN" previously and so believed the fake leak.

 

[Deleted member]

Reason #300 why I want Geno in Smash:

His stock icon. It would look so good.

 

[Firox]

If Geno got in, what would the marquee at the boxing ring say for his title?

"He's a REAL boy!"
"Chuckie's worst nightmare"
"The original super star!"
"Good with his hands..."
"The 'higher authority'"
"Star warrior extraordinaire!"

I think it’d be really cool if it was his real name...♡♪!?

The last two sound pretty good.

 

[Sovereign Trinity]

Reason #3652 I want Geno in Smash:

I’ll get to hear the announcer guy’s voice shout “GENO” every time I select him.

Xander: "Wait, how do you pronounce his name?"
Sakurai: "Well, his name is a little hard to pronounce so... you could just call him Geno, after the doll."
Xander: "Ah."

I wonder if it would even be possible (due to contracts) to commission Xander Mobus to do that for, say, a mod (given I'm in pessimism-ville about Geno's chances right now and am waiting for mods).

Pretty sure you could ask Xander to say "Geno" because he's done it with Shrek and Goku before. If you know him, don't be afraid to ask. I don't think they can do anything about it because Geno/Gino is a real name. Mods can get shutdown, sure, but Legacy XP is still up and literally has Geno in the game, and they also have an announcer that announces his name. So Xander shouldn't be getting in trouble for it, as long as it's for free.

You know what would be cool . If we could modify the announcer voice. Change it to female/male/robotic just a thought. I personally enjoyed the female voice for League of Legends.

I wish we could have the Halo announcer voice. I think Jeff Steitzer would make an amazing announcer for a Smash game.

I have a question for all of you that is partial sparked from that Darth Vader discussion we had a while back. Let's say you were given the choice to choose one non-video game character into Smash and you have been told that the agreement with the character you chose would be very exclusive, so it is legally impossible for any more non-video game characters to appear after this one(So no floodgates would be open), who would you pick and why?
