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

[Deleted member]

My favorite enemies are the treasure chest enemies: Pandorite, Hidon, Box Boy, and Chester.

The reasoning behind Pandorite's name is also interesting: It's named after Pandora's Box, a Greek legend, basically about a jar that released the world's misfortunes because it was opened by a curious woman that was looking for treasure. The first time you play this game, you never know when you'll encounter one of them; they're some of the toughest enemies in the game, so that's what I like about them because they offer up a challenge.

As for my favorite boss, it is Exor. I like Exor because he's a TALKING-GIANT SWORD!!!

Lol I didn't know that about Pandorite. But yeah, the treasure chest enemies are funny and creative. Though I remember underestimating them a lot...

And I'm serious someone should make an Exor support thread.

Wait isn't it 12 days, or am I mistaken?

Or am I bad at math?

Turns out I'm the mistaken one here, lmao, I misread the Japanese release date as May 9th. You're right, May 13th.

Oh it's alright lol.

I wonder what will happen by then.

 

[Firox]

You forgot Yoshi, he was there too. I'll put the link on here for you. Good to know Super Mario Bros. Z is still remembered. That was the best episode, where Mario and the team were having a brawl with the Koopa Brothers and Axem Rangers X, then Mecha Sonic comes in and crashes the party. I really miss those days of the internet...

Thanks for posting the video! Even after all these years, I still get giddy watching it. In case you wanted to see the Flame Sonic fight, feast your eyes!

If only SEGA would take a page out of Mario's book and give Sonic power-ups like this in his games. Sweet mother of all things holy, I would lap that **** up in a second.

Me:

I tried to avoid fighting them throughout the whole game and there was one you can't avoid you have to fight before fighting Exor. That fight against that chest was annoying and harder than Exor for me.

 

[Deleted member]

The stronger version of the artichoke is so annoying. Status effects, lots of damage, and lots of defense kinda drag on fights with it lol. But usually I level up with the invincibility star beforehand.

I wonder if the "ite" part of Pandorite has any real meaning. That said, Hidon is the only one that has no obvious meaning to me. Even without the explanation, Pandora's Box is a fairly well known thing and isn't too hard to guess, respectively.

My guess is it's derivative of how '-ite' is a common suffix for gemstones (i.e. nephrite, iolite, pyrite, labradorite, etc.), and given treasure chests are associated with... well, treasure... I can see the connection. As for Hidon, beats me. It's probably a corruption of 'hidden' or something. It also makes me think of Hidon from FFVI, so it may actually be a reference there.

I think "Hidon" is pronounced "Hidden" which could be referring to treasure or something. Just a guess.

I can't believe I didn't think of how -ite is used.

Probably cause despite making tons of actual character names, not all of them have well-thought origins like that. Like I made a Psycho Rangers thing, with the Golemite Zord. It just sounded good. And rhymes with Light, which the actual character is based upon Lightning.

I think "Hidon" is pronounced "Hidden" which could be referring to treasure or something. Just a guess.

More like Ninji'd, amir-ite?

Speaking of bizarre name choices, what the hell is a Neosquid and why is it Exor's mouth?

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Speaking of bizarre name choices, what the hell is a Neosquid and why is it Exor's mouth?

Well, considering there's monsters called MIndflayers, who have squidmouths...(in Dungeons & Dragons, anyway).

But really, no clue. I actually can't remember what the name Neo actually means. Neon is one thing. Maybe it relates to what Neopolitan means?

 

[Deleted member]

Neosquid was the most random, wacky name they could've gone for when naming Exor's mouth of all things lmao

Those treasure box enemies annoyed the hell out of me when i was younger, partly cuz I didn’t realize back then just how weak they were to jump attacks by mario.

I still don’t like em now tbh...just because i hated them so much back then....

What's going on? I just saw a meme about cops and clown shoes.

Basically, Etika is having a second mental breakdown. He threatened suicide on Twitter, so his ex-girlfriend called the cops and he was at a psych ward for about a week before being discharged. He apologized on Twitter, saying it was just edgy jokes, but then he continued with the dark/cryptic tweets. He's been tweeting about incoherent sentences and claims to be the antichrist, while also having a very unhealthy diet of only eating salads and doing 16 hour fastings to maintain his "God body". Fast forward to a couple of days ago, someone called the cops on him because they feared he was in danger of harming himself. When the cops came, he started an Instagram livestream and refused to open the door. In front of 19K viewers (including myself), he made perverted statements towards the policemen who were outside his apartment door, and began screaming "THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED" out his window, and also screaming **** like "I'M RICH, I MAKE A LOT OF PORN!".

Eventually, the cops busted the lock and detained him. Etika was strapped down on a stretcher and place into an ambulance, being taken to a hospital this time. But wouldn't you know, Etika was released a few hours later. He's been livestreaming, acting very unusual like making gorilla sounds (literally pretending to be Donkey Kong), or just flat out yelling at the audience. "You are going to sit here, while I ****ing formulate things, okay? I love you baby." That's something he said in one of his streams. His last stream was where he claimed that everyone was Goku, and he tried going Super Saiyan. Then yesterday, he pushed an officer to the ground, and got once again sent to a psych ward where he's forced to stay for 72 hours. If you want the gist of what's going on aside from this, I'd recommend you watch this so you can see just how ****ed up he is right now:

And all the clown memes are because he's acting like, well, a clown. This breakdown has caused him to commit career suicide, and lots of fans are pissed off.

Jeepers. I've read up a bit on my own, and also saw that apparently he said some slurs against homosexuals and the Jewish? Yikes.

I hope the guy gets the help he needs, though I sure hope he doesn't get his career back with no repercussions.

I believe Hidon could also be a pun for "Hiding", but it's spelt as Hidin'. Possible Hidon pronunciation = Hide-n | Hide-n pronunciation would be spelt as hidin', without being spelt as hidding.

Well, it took me a while to realize that "Pandor" in Pandorite was a reference Pandora's Box. lol

 

[Deleted member]

Other thing I noticed is that Nintendo still hasn't posted their E3 time. Makes me wonder if they're gonna shake it up a little this year.

Also Claus/Ninten and Geno plz.

Don't forget about Duster, Duster + Geno being revealed at E3 would make me so excited it would easily become my favorite Smash Presentation ever.

Also for my favorite SMRPG Enemy it would probably be Snifits I already like Shy Guys as they're my favorite Mario Enemies but Snifits are basically cooler Shy Guys which easily make them my favorites, I like their designs and they're associated with Booster and I like the Booster Tower section of the game.

So yeah the Snifits are my favorite Enemy in SMRPG.

 

[Gallowglass]

I have a strong feeling Geno might be one of the DLC characters. He had a Mii costume in Smash 4 but was removed in Ultimate. He has officially recognized the long standing fan base that Geno has had and I think It would fit quite well into the whole "Ultimate" theme that is going.

That being said I thought Ray MK III was going to be in Smash 4 because of the customization feature but I was oh so wrong on that one.

Keep in mind that all of the third party Mii costumes were removed in Ultimate, only for the Tails and Knuckles Mii costumes to be added back in through DLC.

 

[Deleted member]

While I do believe the reason Geno's Mii costume isn't in Ultimate as of now is because it's a third party Mii costume, I'm still confident about him being in the pass from SMRPG being on the SNES Classic, all the SMRPG references, and them already having the rights to Geno and likely any other SMRPG content in Ultimate.

 

[Firox]

I hope the guy gets the help he needs, though I sure hope he doesn't get his career back with no repercussions.

Unfortunately, the system is pretty useless these days, and based on his multiple arrests and releases, I doubt he'll get the help he needs. I mean, the guy threatened to livestream his own suicide and they let him out after a week? Then they send a swat team for him and take him to the hospital only to let him out the same day??? I know it's a fairly tough issue, but what can they even do for a person like that? Lock him in a padded room forever? Wait til he hurts somebody or himself? The online community itself sure isn't going to be any healthier for him. I guess hoping for him is all we can really do.

Anyways, as far as Geno being in the DLC, my last holdout is the fact that they haven't re-released his mii costume. Until then, he still has a shot at getting in, or at very least, it means that Nintendo and SE still have him on the table. Even if he doesn't come in THIS DLC pack, there's still a chance he could come in future ones as long as they don't drop the costume. If they do, though, then I'd say his chances will have dropped well under 10%.

So.. I have owned my Super Nintendo Classic for a year... and finally I have decided it must be opened.
It doesn't matter if I keep moving.

This means........... Super Mario RPG!!!!!! For the first time ever.

Granted, if they planned Mii costume re-releases around the Fighter's Pass, his being a Mii costume could easily be a 'for now' consolation prize. Even if the Mii costume comes back, I wouldn't completely give up on him just yet.

Damn...I know this is the geno boards and all but damn how has etika went so far off the deep end. Did the YouTube fame cause him to snap? I know he got shutdown by posting porn on his channel at one point, but now after what i read above it seems he’s completely snapped...

IMO he probably was the type that had latent psychological problems, probably genetic, that were activated from the stress of being a YouTuber. That can happen to some people, especially if they have a history of schizophrenia in their family. Who really knows, though?

I just hope he's able to get the help he needs and has a speedy recovery.

 

[Datboigeno]

So you know how several people on here have posted about having dreams pertaining to Geno getting into/not getting into Smash recently? Well it finally happened to me last night. No idea what the overall context was, but in the dream there was some announcement online of some weird Japanese only Nintendo platformer and the big reveal was that the main character could get a power up and essentially turn into Geno with a cloak, hat, and arm guns. And in the dream I went straight to this thread and everyone was posting about it and so hyped as this was a clear indication that Nintendo was finally doing something with Geno even if it was a weird Japanese only platformer. And then I woke up and realized it was just a dream.

So that's all to say E3 please hurry the **** up and get here already because this DLC/Geno anticipation is leaking into my dreams.

 

[Firox]

I still don't know why Nintendo/SE hates money. If they were to make a fully HD SMRPG remake or sequel, I would bet my immortal soul that it would sell like hot cakes. They could even do what they're doing with the FF7 remake and have the combat updated to be more live-action based a la Kingdom Hearts. My favorite RPG combat system of all time was the one used in Tales of Vesperia where once you entered a random battle, you and up to three other friends/CPUs could control one of the four party members and battle it out in real time. Could you imagine bisecting peeps with Geno whirl on the fly?! Freaking Destructo Disc, baby! They could even add some sick combos where Geno pops a blade out of his wrist, slashing up an enemy before finishing them off with an elbow cannon or something......I mean, for frick's sake, it only took me a few seconds to spit-ball an idea that I myself would be willing to pay bank for. Why are none of the devs coming up with this stuff?!

Oh SE definitely loves money, and I also think an SMRPG remake/sequel would sell, like, really well.

Sooooooooooo maybe it's in the works right now :D

What the heck, Geno having essentially a magical gun-toting swiss army knife of an arsenal would be so sick. That would be NUTS. I would pay big money to see this **** happen.

Welp, I decided to leave Polar's Discord server, probably for the best since the discussions over there are so damn infuriating.

 

[Ovaltine]

Welp, I decided to leave Polar's Discord server, probably for the best since the discussions over there are so damn infuriating.

It's full of kids that came from GameFAQs, so truth be told, discussion on there is bound to be rough. Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't leave sooner, considering my irritation over how they acted towards you made me dip out before you yourself did. We may not always see eye-to-eye on Geno's chances, but the very idea of mentioning Geno getting people in such an uproar and drawing out the carbon copy BTFO culture responses is ridiculous. Even as someone who thinks Erdrick is a darn big possibility, it's frankly a poor idea to be so close-minded and lash out towards people with differing opinions. Alas, it's become rampant these days, where doing as much as just mentioning the name 'Geno' (even unrelated to Smash!) on any social media will attract droves of people heckling you. It's just best to avoid it.

I admit I can get facts wrong sometimes, but it's ridiculous how they still accept Erdrick with no solid evidence to back the claims up.

Man, it's fine. I've done the same, too. We're only human, after all. In terms of Erdrick, he has Tansut still, and even then, we still can't be sure if his credibility holds up for Ultimate's DLC. It's a wait and see game. Outside of that, DQ is a pretty big deal, so that definitely holds some weight. Nothing is concrete, though.

RIGHT??!!!! That's why I think Geno would be a ludicrously amazing pick for a smash bros character. Between finger bullets, arm cannons, hand/wrist blades, rocket punches, etc. and his already awesome selection of special attacks (Geno Beam for a chargeable neutral B including visual triple-star mechanic, Geno Whirl side B, Geno Flash for a final smash) he's got all the tools to be both flashy AND powerful. Think like a sexy combination of Toon Link, Robin, Megaman and Mii Gunner with some Sand Ninja Puppet mixed in. OOOOOOOOH FECK! This has to happen, Sakurai! This HAS to happen!
