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

[EarlTamm]

PAGE 999, FOLKS.

WE ARE OFFICIALLY GENO WHIRLING INTO ORBIT.

Woo!

Then I guess this page number is a slightly bigger milestone than 1000.

 

[MattX20]

We're reaching page 1000 tomorrow.

PAGE 999, FOLKS.

WE ARE OFFICIALLY GENO WHIRLING INTO ORBIT.

Woo!

Only 9000 more for a critical whirl.

 

[xpnc]

So I'm assuming we'll see the content that comes with Hero a day before before he comes out, similar to Joker

This will either be late July or early August

Our questions will be answered then

 

[EarlTamm]

We're reaching page 1000 tomorrow.

Not if we all comment on the fact that we are on page 999. Then we will reach it today.

Our questions will be answered then

So either we'll be looking at a Geno Mii Costume in 1-2 months or we'll get to speculate longer and keep our suspense up. I hope for the latter as it'll look a whole lot better for Geno.

We could technically have both, as we have discussed why the costume being ported over could not equal disconfirmation.

Never before have I hoped that the speculation cycle would continue, but dangit, I don't want this to be the end.

Imagine if Geno Whirl had the potential to be a kill move in Smash. Actually of all his abilities it'd probably the best option for a reliable kill move.

 

[owjies]

Happy Geno Whirl Day!

Spoiler: Genoooo Whirl!

I was thinking it could be his side-b with a timed hit mechanic where it will kill.

How much damage are we thinking exactly? Obviously it won't do max like in game(I bet Sakurai will comment on this change), but it will still be high for a projectile.

I know I said this before but the thing I want to see for an updated design for Geno in Smash is have tiny rips and tears throughout his cape. Give him a little more of that "old toy" vibe.

That would be cool, though part of me wants to see the cape be like one of those awkward lego capes.

 

[Vector Victor]

It will be quite enjoyable seeing Geno as fighter 74.

You mean something like this?

 

[OptimisticStrifer]

what are the top 5 most supported characters here now that banjo is in?

 

[GoodGrief741]

Hey uhh I don't wanna be that guy, but after seeing some reactions to Hero I feel like I should ask this.

How do you think you would react if the Fighter Pass ends and there's no Geno?

what are the top 5 most supported characters here now that banjo is in?

I'd say Geno, Isaac, Waluigi, Ashley, and I dunno who I'd say is fifth.

Very, Very disappointed but in the end there's always Smash 6 so while I may be depressed for a few days weeks months I'd be okay in the long run.

I don't know if I need to say this or not but the days, weeks months thing was a joke. I'd only be upset for like a week and even then it wouldn't be full out depression just mind disappointment.

 

[EarlTamm]

Yes. Realistically speaking, I imagine his cape would be something like this. Then again, it really depends on the Geno dolls quality.

No clue, depends on the person really.

 

[link2702]

damn...to think the board has nearly hit 1000 pages.....

 

[ShotoStar 2]

Geno, Isaac, Waluigi, Shadow and maybe someone like Ashley/Porky/Dixie.

I've always assumed the same thing.

Disappointed but hopeful for an FP2 announcement. Also Sora is definitely up there. Arguably above Ashley and maybe a couple others.

The bandage has been ripped off for me in terms of the Fighter's Pass at this point, if not all of Ultimate entirely, so I won't be too upset. I will be sad, but I'll be very grateful because I got Banjo and Kazooie in the end. I'll keep hoping that Geno will come back someday, though, and I will always fight to see him return.

 

[EarlTamm]

You know, I was thinking about how it was nice that Sakurai went with the classic Banjo noises rather than what he typically does for animals(Real bear noises coming out of Banjo would be weird) when I remembered that Geno's version of that is much more complex in nature.

Geno now with realistic puppet sound effects

A la the Skull Kid puppets in Twilight Princess

Yeah, I always loved the “Wee!” Banjo makes when he jumps.

Him turning into a cannon is going to sound really creepy now.

I'd rather not need trauma counselling every time Geno is played

 

[Datboigeno]

Would you guys want Geno to be fully voiced or just make grunts when he attacks?

 

[xpnc]

I suspect he'll remain unvoiced altogether. I can't really picture him making sounds

 

[EarlTamm]

I imagine he will have some sort of mechanism like noises, just not that creepy. I think we can safely assume from Banjo that he will have his classic sound effects. It's the possibility of a voice that I am most curious of.

 

[StrawHatX]

I just wish Square would give Nintendo the rights to Geno since he’s a Mario character and they’re never going to use him.

Got Banjo and Ridley in this game so Geno's pretty much the last character I want. Can't be too upset if my 20+ year wishlist ends up down to a single character.

Geno was tied for my second most wanted character with Banjo. K. Rool was my third most wanted.

So I’d be sad, but I did get two characters I really wanted so I can’t be too upset.

 

[SSGuy]

There's not really a point for one anyways.

Imagine the only character on your 20+ year wishlist has been Geno

 

[EarlTamm]

I would like to hear a voice. Geno was rather talkative in the game after all, so it would make sense that he would be able to make fight noises or say some of his iconic lines.

Who would his voice actor be though?

No clue, not knowledgeable about that. My hope would be Kirbopher though.

Page 1000! Knew we would get it tonight.
