Ristar....
Whether or not Geno is owned by Square, he is still a Mario character. If Square is indeed one of the companies working on the game I'm sure they could get the character no sweat.
Nintendo can choose characters from left field because it's their game with filled with their characters. Because they already have characters like Mario, Link and Pikachu in it, most of their mainstream games are represented so they can bring in characters like Ice Climbers and Mr. Game and Watch.
Why, because it cuts too close to the truth? Cross-party characters are always a business investment, not a popularity contest.Ristar....
Actually i'd have to agree with shortie on something like this: I wouldn't have brought money in to the equation. It dampens just about every discussion like this to a prattle.
He's a Mario character in the same sense as Goombella, or Vivian, or Lakitu. Actually, Lakitu has even more relevance to the Mario franchise than Geno. FREAKIN' LAKITU.
Why would Square Enix say no, and why should they feel entitled to tell Nintendo what to do=??? Imagine how p***ed their fans would be if they didn't let Nintendo add Geno, especially since they haven't used him outside of Nintendo games. I certainly would never touch another Square Enix game again (unless they redeemed themselves). They can ask for Slime, but really they can't demand it. It ain't there.
Play Super Mario RPG, and become Geno-biased like the rest of us. I never beat it until joining Smash Boards, but I had played it, and remembered I liked it about as much as Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy IV, V, and VI (which are all great).Isn't the saying 'isn't the be all and end all'? Argghhh i can't remember my sayings.
Hmm... To be extremely honest, i never played SMRPG, which means i didn't know of Geno until i started on the smashboards. I don't really have an opinion on the guy.
Just because Geno's fanbase is vocal doesn't mean it's particularly large. If I were a developer, I'd be about as afraid of Geno fanrage as I would of stubbing my toe. Including Geno benefits no one except a small group of selfish, deluded manchildren.
I see no point in fighting the inevitable. If Zelda gets a new rep, rest assured it's Tingle.
o.O Even i have to agree that's a tad presumptuous. For all we know Ghirahim may get in, or another toon version of someone.
Toad is perhaps the most deserving Mario character that is not yet playable in Smash Bros. He was playable in two Mario platformers (Super Mario Bros. 2 and New Super Mario Bros. Wii) and was the main protagonist of a game (Wario's Woods). Not to mention that he is the only character in Mario Kart that has been playable in every game in the series not yet playable in Smash Bros. Toad is also very marketable and appears in much Mario merchandise. Toad is one of the most iconic characters of the Mario series.
I think Toon Zelda/Tetra had her chance and lost it. And Ghirahim won't get in for the same reason that Skull Kid, Vaati, Midna, and Zant didn't. He simply doesn't have any importance to the franchise beyond Skyward Sword. And if he ever does...then maybe I'm not a Zelda/Smash fan anymore.
To be fair, the Smash fanbase was pretty divided over either Midna or Toon Link being the Zelda newcomer. As we all know, it was Toon Link that got the spot. If Ghirahim does become very popular, he will have practically no competition for a theoretical fifth Zelda spot. Even in Tingle's strongest territory, Japan, there are few requests for him. Toon Zelda's advantage was that Sakurai was considering her for a playable spot in Brawl and her important role in Spirit Tracks. However, since Skyward Sword vastly overshadows Spirit Tracks, I would say Toon Zelda will no longer be a contender for a Zelda newcomer spot once Skyward Sword is released.
There's that, plus the fact that people aren't actually bananas about him in Japan.
Son, you're alllllll right.
B: Dice Block
Well yeah, but just because the boards are divided on something doesn't mean the argument is relevant. I always knew Midna wouldn't be an option.
HAHAHAHA. You think that Western popularity means anything to the developers? Well, maybe a little, but ultimately we'll just have to come to terms with the reality that a few characters will be added that are ONLY popular in Japan. This has happened in every installment.
Please, your silly arguments are stupid, troll-worthy, ignorant of facts, and about half a decade old. This post I am quoting did not make a single solid point but an insult at a group of fans without any evidence, any valid opinion, or really anything at all. All you're doing is making yourself look stupid and trolling.
That's because in many ways they are. There are constantly good stocks that haven't been in yet (Dixie Kong, Paper Mario, Ridley), and then there are the crazy choices (mostly retro). The Balloon Fighters, the Takamaru's, the Sukapon's, the Geno's, the Mach Rider, the *insert any 5th Generation Pokémon*, and the Bubbles' of the world. These things have no predictable chance or chances that we can measure.
Why, yes. Thank you for demonstrating my point.
No, you're convinced that they are because you've been reading threads like this for so long. People have these massive knee-jerk reactions to stuff that flies under Sakurai's -- actually, everyone else's radar entirely.
You are the dumbest troll since that stupid anti-Squirtle pro-Lucario thread guy and that fool who bet me $50 that Diddy Kong wouldn't be in Brawl (I've never lost a bet; I bet $50 on the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII, and made a hefty profit from Vegas).
Well they are like stock prices... but not yet. Once we gets characters and rumors in due time, they will be, especially since the roster will probably get leaked early just like Melee's and Brawl's roster did... >.> The question is which "leaked roster" is the real one. Ironically in the pre-Brawl days there was a roster that guessed every character in Brawl right (minus ROB though)-albeit had 45 characters. Once we saw ROB, we knew the other roster (the 39 man roster with more accurate character descriptions) was right. There were clues the 39 man roster was right, specifically the Lucario in, Mewtwo out, and even some of the details around some newcomers that were dead on.
Well too bad, I guess Ill never accept Tingle as well, okay maybe not since I at least have logic unlike you.
But Lucario IS more popular than mewtwo
You are being hard headed and your arguments are obviously fueled by bias, no facts, logic, evidence whatsoever, You can think all you want but you'll have to face reality sooner or later.
He's obviously being biased towards anybody he doesn't like and simply dismisses a said character without backing it up, he's being presumpcious and illogical.If anything Tingle should represent his on franchise like Wario.
