I can just imagine Geno in a sweet cinematic trailer. Great details on him and everything.

Geno's Smash trailer involves him using Geno Beam on Mega Man from behind, then the camera zooms in on him and he poses for it.hey guy i'm back from my "sprint" which was more of a power walk really lmao,
but dumb idea what if they kept doing the K Rool/Banjo joke for reveals
Like they just keep pilling more and more characters into DK's house
DK slowly becomes more perturbed with the situation
in fact the house is just literally destroyed by the end of all the reveals
basically what I'm saying is i kinda just want to see Geno deck Mega Man in the face
PS I say that as a Mega Man fan
I was so pleasantly surprised to see both The Hero and Banjo Kazooie get proper cinematic trailers after Sakurai seemed to say that they weren't happening based upon comments in his book. I really hope that wasn't just because they were big reveals at E3 and it lasts for the rest of the Fighter's Pass... but that's also going to be MONTHS away at this point."Summer" almost always means August for whatever reason so we're probably going to be sitting in purgatory for yet another two months... The ride never ends.
On an upnote: all the DLC characters have gotten cinematic trailers so if Geno does wind up getting in, he's getting a kick-*** trailer to go with him so there's that at least.
Hero looks to be high tier and Banjo looks to be mid tier to me.So I've been analyzing the movesets for Banjo and Hero and here's what I found:
Banjo-Kazooie:
-Down tilt is a low jab with Kazooie's beak. Looks to be fast with good range.
-Side tilt looks like a similar beak jab, but standing
-Side smash is a downward slam with Kazooie's body (poor girl). Looks slow but powerful with good reach.
-Back aerial is the triple peck jab with Kazooie's beak that most of us thought would be the forward air
-Jab is a 1-2-3 with Banjo punching and kicking ala Mario
-Up B is the Flight pad
-Side B looks like the Bird dash with Kazooie's wings offering super armor
-Down B looks like Banjo crapping out a grenade (Snake, eat your heart out)
-Normal B? Where Banjo uses Kazooie like a gun to shoot eggs.
Looks super fun and original with what I hope is some competitive viability.
Hero:
-Has Marth/Lucina's back aerial
-Link's dash attack
-Jab 1-2-3 looks similar to Roy's
-Side smash is the Marth brigade's side smash
-Specials look very similar to Robin's with lightning and fire along with a wind Up B
So far my consensus on Hero is that his normal attacks are as bland as we would've expected of a typical sword user. His magic attacks do look kind of interesting though, especially the fact that it looks like he can change his specials mid-battle. I'm thinking along the lines of Shulk's mode switching except with attacks instead of physical attributes. Like Palutena from Sm4sh, but during battle instead of equipping custom moves beforehand. I won't lie, I'm very biased against him as a character and as a swordsman, but I'll reserve judgment on his fun levels and competitive viability until after we've seen his kit fully broken down. If he turns out to be a good fusion of Robin, Marth and Link, I just might break down and get him.
I correctly predicted that Joker would be high tier based on his speed and combo game, but that was only after I got a chance to play him. I learned my lesson a while ago that you can never truly know a character's potential until you have the controller in your hands a few hours under your belt.Hero looks to be high tier and Banjo looks to be mid tier to me.
Watch me be completely wrong when they come out haha
Well, Metroid got reset back to scratch with Retro because they weren't pleased with the final product.Excited for Banjo-Kazooie - i personally dont care for Dragon Quest but congrats to those who wanted that character in.
THe E3 aside from Smash , zelda reveal - i was hopin on some update on Metroid and Bayonetta 3.
Hero: "I HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS."I cannot tell a lie, I really am greatly amused that the heros have a kamikaze move. I could see that move having some hilarious and trollish potential.
I would definitely use it as a "**** this ****" manuever if I'm on my last stock and way too behind.
FF7 Remake being PS4 only ("muh grayfix!") and the huge lack of Square stuff in Smash (regarding spirits/music, pre-DQ DLC) make me question this. Not saying you're wrong or anything, but I do wish they'd be a bit more on board.Another upside of the last two days is that Square Enix is still burying Nintendo with support, arguably now being one of its biggest third party supporters. It's hard to not be impressed with the huge turn around in support in just the last two years alone.
Not to mention he's also low-key partially Nintendo-related in that he's only been in one game (two if you count his cameo in M&L Superstar Saga) which was an exclusive on Super Nintendo, which I'm unsure if it hurts his chances (not being a new universe character; would share the mushroom icon with other Smash fighters, while all DLC characters so far have been new-universe IPs in Ultimate), or helps it (the fact that he's a character from a Mario game, despite being owned by a third-party). I like to think it helps his chances a touch, since I doubt we'd have gotten Banjo-Kazooie if those original games were exclusive to PS1 instead of N64.Even Banjo helps Geno, Especially Banjo may I add. Banjo was an irrelevant 3rd party character who only had nostalgia and fan favoritism going for him yet Nintendo specifically chose Banjo-Kazooie to be in Smash over even Master Chief or Steve so by all means the Irrelevance argument is fully dead, K. Rool heavily damaged it but people could spin it to be "No Irrelevant 3rd party characters" instead of "No irrelevant characters" while Banjo comes along and kills it for good. The last Banjo game was almost 12 years ago for goodness sake. The irrelevance argument is no more.
I think this is all because of legal things related to Final Fantasy. From what I remember, it's hard for even Square themselves to use some of their old tracks due to certain factors(I think the composers). And when it comes to FF7, yeah, I imagine a good bit of it is due to graphics, but the remakes already troubled development and possible backing from Sony itself(I imagine Sony would help support that, right?) makes a Switch port kinda difficult while they are still developing. Nintendo and Square are still getting better and better when it comes to their relationship.FF7 Remake being PS4 only ("muh grayfix!") and the huge lack of Square stuff in Smash (regarding spirits/music, pre-DQ DLC) make me question this. Not saying you're wrong or anything, but I do wish they'd be a bit more on board.
Obs Geno would be a huge swing in the right direction for me. I wouldn't really care what would happen afterwards (at least I got Banjo, my #2 pick though, so I'm satisfied Smash-wise).
Square Enix games have a tendency to struggle with performance (at least Final Fantasy XV certainly did and VII Remake seems built on that engine) and also we don't know what the deal might look like with the VII Remake and Sony. They could have a much bigger hand in that game than we know or have bought it's exclusive rights or something. It wouldn't be the first time.FF7 Remake being PS4 only ("muh grayfix!") and the huge lack of Square stuff in Smash (regarding spirits/music, pre-DQ DLC) make me question this.

Mario, Peach and Bowser would have to be involved.You know, that Banjo trailer got me really hopeful for what a Geno trailer could do. They went the best route and had a Rare reunion! I bet they would do something very similar with Geno.
Bowser was generally like that in SMRPG, so it would make sense. I imagine Mallow would appear in some way, even if he ends up just being a background element of the Geno stage. I am also thinking about how they would handle the crossover element in this trailer. As heartwarming as the reunion would be, seeing some crossover interaction would also be great.Mario, Peach and Bowser would have to be involved.
have Mario and Peach be happy to see geno again similar to how DK and Diddy were happy to see banjo.
have Bowser act like he doesn't care, but when no one is looking have Bowser smile at Geno's return.
It's a bit generic, yeah, but I think it was the correct choice if they were looking for a name that fit every single character. The Luminary might be base, but it's clear they are trying to put all of them on as equal footing as possible.Ha, glad to see I'm not the only one who hasn't given up hope on Geno thanks to Hero's inclusion (god that is such a bad name. Call them by their titles, or Brave, or hell even Dragon Warrior).
There's still plenty of time to go before we see hide or hair of the Mii costume.
Like I keep saying, Sakurai finds a way. Characters like Little Mac, Pac-Man, Duck Hunt, Bowser Jr, Ryu, Inceniroar, and now Hero were usually boring as all hell as basic concepts but Sakurai keeps finding ways to make characters interesting. They basically found a way to please the entire Dragon Quest fanbase and accurately represent 30+ years of a games with a single character. That's impressive.Please don't attack me, but.... LUMINARY LOOKS SO HYPE AND FUN! While I didn't necessarily want the character (obviously), the character themself looks mad fun and pretty good, especially as someone that pretty much uses every sword fighter in the game. Super excited for this one!!
AND MY GOSH, BANJO & KAZOOIE??? LET'S GO!! I had always had the thought we'd get one character at E3 this year (being Luminary/Erdrick/Hero or whatever lol), but for us to get two AND it's Banjo-Kazooie??!? That's insane!! Definitely unexpected for me! Really happy for his fans, and he looks like tons of fun! So happy to see him back!
Hard to say.With all that happened today, who the hell are the last two characters going to be? It's like... fan wise... how are they going to top this?
And that is why I am never mad with any Smash choice.Like I keep saying, Sakurai finds a way.

Totally agree! Every character he makes into a fighter is always something super fun and (mostly) unique,it's amazing!Like I keep saying, Sakurai finds a way.

I had a feeling it was a Hero Class. Dragon Warrior and Dragon Questor as names are kind of fun ideas, but Hero fits just fine. It's just another class-based character like Villager, Pokemon Trainer, and Wii Fit Trainer. It fits perfectly.Ha, glad to see I'm not the only one who hasn't given up hope on Geno thanks to Hero's inclusion (god that is such a bad name.

I have to agree with the both of you. Sakurai finds a way to truly make any character he comes across interesting and unique in their own ways while also honoring every individual legacy that needs to be acknowledged when choosing characters for Super Smash Bros. There is a reason he is basically the only developer I have complete faith in and he's the only developer that I would so blindly buy something like the Fighter's Pass from. He has earned it.And that is why I am never mad with any Smash choice.
In the Hero trailer, I definitely started to dread things when I realized the horse was probably from Dragon Quest, but then it was the Luminary! The shock of that kept me in trance up until all the other hero's showed up and then I was all sorts of hype when I saw the variety of spells and all the DQ fanservice, that while I didn't understand due to not knowing the series, showed all the love and heart Sakurai put into this iconic series.
Ah yes, we can never forget classic video game classes like the Hero, Villager and Yoga Instructor.I had a feeling it was a Hero Class.

No, no we cannot.Ah yes, we can never forget classic video game classes like the Hero, Villager and Yoga Instructor.
Ganondorf, Bowser, K. Rool, Ridley and Wolf turn in unison, "No. No we are not." (well, Ridley just screeches, but you get the idea)Almost every other Smash character: "Oh, so were NOT heroes!? "
where did you get your profile pic.... i love itHa, glad to see I'm not the only one who hasn't given up hope on Geno thanks to Hero's inclusion (god that is such a bad name. Call them by their titles, or Brave, or hell even Dragon Warrior).

Truth. I'm completely speechless that after so much copyright discussion that not only do we have Erdrick, but a few other Heroes as well. We also have a protagonist with zero Nintendo presence and a console competitor's IP.The only thing that all the DLC characters have in common is that they were all judged as virtually impossible before this DLC cycle.
