Do we know If we can sort the roster by series yet? Seeing as it is said to be set by appearance in the series. I am assuming it will be an option much like the stacking of echoes on their original fighter.

No need to think in small terms. With a dozen possible dlc characters (or maybe even more), there's no reason SquareEnix can't have more entries, it's one for the most reknown franchises. No reason not to be open to Geno and 1 or even 2 more characters from them. I mean, you can think what you want, but I may keep bringing it up.
You think we will get multiple Square characters?

We don't know yet, however the Smash bros ultimate site has "Organize by franchise" option so it's possible

Yes, I think we'll get Geno and at least one other SquareEnix character, whether that's DQ or another FF one like Terra. (or others, there's so many good games)
I think dlc will make it happen. Geno would be in the base roster, and then it depends.

I would put Zack Fair as an Echo of Cloud, And for the music selection, I would put the "Battle song 2" in the game (representing Final Fantasy IV and the Culex battle for Mario RPG)

Everyone who liked the OP has been added to the list.

I'll look through the thread tomorrow if there is anyone else that wants to be added that hadn't liked it

I just wanted to jump in and say that I hope Geno makes it in this time around. All of the dedication Geno supporters have shown all these years deserves to be rewarded, and I see it as something that sorta needs to happen with Ultimate. I've seen support for this character for a long, long time. So long that I don't even remember when I started noticing it. Maybe during the Brawl times?

Despite how that may sound, I've known about Geno far before Brawl and am actually a huge fan of Super Mario RPG. It was not only my first JRPG, but it was also the game that got me into the genre in the first place. JRPGs, particularly ones with turn-based combat, remain my favorite type of video game to this very day. Needless to say, I've been very familiar with Geno for a long time (heck, I actually still own the original cartridge and a SNES), and both the character and game he comes from are very dear to me (Geno was actually my favorite character in the game as a kid, and he still is today).

All that said, I never really went out of my way to support him for Smash. At this point, it feels a little too late for me to start, so I'll just sit in the background and cheer you all on. While it makes me sort of sad that I'll probably never get to see a Dragon Quest character in Smash (it's my favorite JRPG series, and I feel that Alena would do a great job representing the franchise with the Slime serving as DQ's symbol), I can at least be happy knowing that all of you finally got your character. You all helped repair Star Road, so it's about time your wishes finally got granted. Good luck to you all.

I keep seeing this image circle around and even if some people are saying it's a joke, the people in the comments sections don't appear to think so??
I'm not too sure at this point. I have such high hopes for Geno that every little thing I see keeps setting me back oops
I really wish I could tell them more about Geno but I don't wanna seem... obsessed, some crazy Geno fan, yeah? I don't want to cause drama either
I know it's best to ignore it but I just thought I'd share ^^'
I swear Geno's much more than... that
If it does cause drama, I take full responsibility
(This is the image that keeps getting posted)

(people do make the: he's too old, no one knows who he is, etc etc etc claims on these posts)

Edit: I've seen the comments on these posts reach up to 200+ on the debate and that's kind of concerning?
I don't know if that's serious, but there's nothing to worry about; I'm pretty sure Sakurai said he never wanted to include characters that didn't originate from games, and he said he wanted to include Geno... it's looking fine, and it's not like you can't have one and not the other. The thing I don't get is people shouldn't attack characters other people want; take your rage out on all the stupid **** they put in the game people never asked for.

Their opinions don't matter anyway; the roster is set in stone.

I think it's gonna happen; there's this weird, unfamiliar thing going on where characters people actually want are being included in Smash.

I have to offer similar words to Calane Calane above since it's been eating at me recently to finally come to this thread and I wanted to see that I wasn't the only one. Maybe this doesn't really count as support. I don't know, but I'm just speaking out about how I honestly feel. I myself have never played Super Mario RPG and can't really share the same personal love of Geno as you all do, but as a huge Isaac fan, I can absolutely sympathize with and respect how much passion you've had for your character all these years. I'm sure some on this thread have been supporting Geno since the Brawl days, and that speaks volumes to me. It really feels like it's the time of these requests that have been waiting in the wings for far too long, and I really want all of our fanbases to finally have the chance to celebrate and put all the heartbreak behind us.

I'm rooting for Geno to make it because all these arguments about "relevancy" and "casual obscurity" should finally be trashed in favor of just making people happy, and K. Rool/Ridley are a good start. At this point, if people want it, what else really matters? It deserves to finally happen. It'll help the roster take one step closer to feeling "Ultimate" and designed for the fans. Especially if there's a nice orchestrated remix of Beware the Forest Mushrooms. That'll hit the spot.

Keep on trekking. The stars above might have a surprise waiting for you.

I hope we get a remix of several SMRPG songs, not just Mushroom Forest. I love Mushroom Forest, but SMRPG is such a treasure trove of Yoko Shimomura's finest works that it would be a shame that only Mushroom Forest got remixed.

It's nice knowing that she's already working on the game. Her name actually appears on the Smash website under the Street Fighter music. That gives me confidence that if Geno gets in, we should be able to get a decent amount of Mario RPG music. I'd be happy with five or six songs to be honest. I think 34 for Castlevania is a crazy amount, almost too much. If we got a couple of themes, maybe a remix or two, I'd be thrilled.

Thanks for the support! That's what this is all about. I see a lot of people hate on other characters, but in my opinion we all have the same goal. No need to belittle other people and their characters that they support. Characters like Geno and Issac ARE in similar situations, so we should root for each other as opposed to having the feeling it's one or the other. The Issac community is clearly thriving, and I've shown my support. I think both fan bases deserve it and hopefully we'll both be rewarded with a playable character.

I've been seeing a lot of comradery between the Geno and Isaac support groups lately.
Even with the Skullkid guys some as well.
Like we are all in this together. Hand in hand as a band of brothers and sisters.

At this point I do hope we all get our characters. Geno is the last character I really want. So anyone after him I just want to be characters that make other long time support groups happy

Add me to the Geno support list. :)

I really dont see Sakurai excluding Geno at this point. Man I cant wait for Smash to have the Mario RPG songs.

I would love for Mallow to be playable also. That would be one hell.of a surprise but I dont see it happening. Unless they announce a remake of mario rpg at the same time. One can hope.

If he is an assist, it would be cool if he had the cymbals or if he Just starts crying with rain hehe.

It's never too late to jump in the Geno Hype Train and ride along. :) I hope your wishes for a Dragon Quest character will come true someday ^^

Sakurai has proven us that no matter how long it has been since, they COULD get in ! This is our chance and at this point, almost everyone has a high chance of getting in !

Let's get our wishes come true !

Very true! It could be hinting at the game doing the same. I am quite OCD with that sort of thing like I hated how the DLC fighters and clones in smash 4 were separated from their series. So order of appreance really isn't my thing but I can't still live without the option to change it. It's just i would prefer being able to choose. Echo stacking kind of confirms there is CSS customization for the first time which is a nice touch.

Yeah you could be right. Though I would much prefer a DQ character and think that is more likely. I have not played any DQ games myself but think they would rather widen the reperesnation of franchises. Cloud is a good representation of the FF series as a whole imo as he is definately the most reconignazble and a favourite of many.

He's also reportedly said "It's the one you know about", which is a weird thing to say, since Square characters aren't exactly common in Smash speculation...except for one. The *only* Square character to have tangibly good ballot results. I wonder who...
When did he say this?

Dragon Quest is my favorite franchise of all time. Considering you can get every entry on a Nintendo system and how they've crossed over with Mario many times. I think it get some representation.

I'd like to be added to the Geno support list please! He is an awesome character that I think has waited his turn patiently for such a long time.

I hope so. Square has tons of cool characters. Also note, that final fantasy has it's own music category (only 2 songs), which seems illogical from an organization standpoint, but may indicate that we will get more songs as a surprise. (Game and watch may also get new compositions revealed).
With new songs, potentially new characters/properties?

Would we all just switch to Mallow supporters at the point Geno gets in?:grin:
Ill be quite honest. Geno will be enough. Mallow is wishful thinking even in the future. Its just my thought on this. I would love Mallow to be a unique character but Geno first and i think that will be it.

You know, we have brought up the idea of a SMRPG remake before multiple times, but what would the hypothetical remake be like? What would change, stay the same, get added, or get removed? That sort of thing.
There are a handful of songs i love to have a remix or upgraded. many memorable music
here are just a few

Thank you! glad you liked it, and thanks for posting it here!!! I was going to put it in this thread but i'm not even home this week so it's been a hassle to get some time online and the internet where i am is spotty.

So once again thank you!
Great video and I liked how you predominantly emphasized that SMRPG was pretty much the first game where the Mario franchise's world and main characters were really even given personalities and how huge of a deal that was at the time. I can't post it here because the video's language is super NSFW but Rageaholic's "the Majesty of Super Mario RPG" YouTube video goes into a lot of these same points and how you kind of had to be alive at the time to see how much of a literal game changer SMRPG was not only for Mario but Nintendo as a whole.

Perhaps they do a multi-character reveal where they show both Mallow AND Geno in the same trailer. That would make the most sense. If we look at other Square characters, Terra or Black Mage I'm not confident in considering the low FF track listing, A DQ Hero or Slime would be a maybe, and while Disney has stated that they would be open for Sora to be in Smash, one has to wonder how Sakurai is going to navigate KH's representation given how interconnected the series is with Disney properties. My money's on Sora for a SE character that's not named Geno.

No way we are getting Mallow as playable...but that's OK. Only reason we have Richter is because he's an echo fighter. Mallow couldn't echo anyone.

I'd love to see him appear as an assist trophy...whether he uses thunderbolt, chases other while swinging the froggy stick, or heals with hp rain. Heck, maybe all 3 can be used, but they are determined by RNJesus

I....never actually completed that :| I always missed the 1 invisible treasure chest too. It wasn't until much later on I found out the one is missable very early in the game.

I wasn't able to do the 100 jumps one until years later on the Wii virtual console version. It's just as well because the reward makes Mario hilariously broken and somehow makes the game even easier than if you equip Peach with the Heavy Shell armor.

Speaking Of things in SMRPG that some people never did, how many of you actually used Bowser in your party a lot?, from what I saw he seems pretty unpopular with lets plays and stuff

I used to use Mario, Geno and Peach, but once got to be too easy I went with an all power squad of Mario, Geno and Bowser. I actually like using Bowser, but he's very one dimensional because his magic is virtually useless.

If you mean Lazy shell armor, then nothing compares to that. It basically makes the game impossible to lose if you put it on your healer.
Next time I play I'm not going to get the lazy shell stuff, but I'll still get the 100 jumps. I always got it, I think.
I thought it was ridiculous to have a secret chest you can miss and just wonder how the hell to get it later on when you know there's one around.

1, 2, 3, 4.. are we at 100 yet?

I would agree with you, but there's just one problem. Unlike Smash 4 where they had the time(over a year's worth) to give the newcomers their own individual trailers, they have less than half that for time in regards to the announcement and release date for the game. I feel that there will be at least one case where two newcomers from seperate series will be mashed together.

My sentiments exactly. I don't hate Skull Kid or anything, but I don't think a multi-reveal trailer with him and Geno would be wise as it wouldn't be doing either character the justice they deserve. That's why I hope we don't see any multi-character reveals at all this time, unless it's like Simon + Richter's trailer where it's a regular character and an Echo or something.

Shame about Bowser, i liked the theming of his magic to use his troops like Boos and Mechakoopas, suppose it's something they improved on later in Bowser's inside story

also, the fingersnap animation is cool

This is shared and already said by a lot, but I really wish they'd make a legit mario rpg sequel. The Mario&Luigi stuff has some good stuff but doesn't come near it, with just how good it was, not just for the time, but I'd say even now. It was really ahead of its time.

I was a Mario/Peach/Geno kind of guy (I imagine it's the most popular team), but I tried to use Mallow and Bowser sometimes. I even tried once to beat the game only using Mallow and Bowser in my party! (it's not as easy as it sounds :laugh:)

First time I'm pretty sure I used Bowser. Now I'd want to go with Geno and Peach. I might play it again before smash launch :)
