Chu's health bar is depleting as we speak, but his rage meter is building quick.

I fail to see the comparison between Geno and Poison. Unlike Poison, Geno's overrated and won't return despite fan's gasming over him. :troll:

May I bring up the NINTENDO character Sakurai tried to add in Brawl, but had LISCENSING ISSUES. (Remember, Sakurai considers Geno a Mario character)

You all laugh at Geno, but that could have very well been him~

And this Ridley **** is annoying me.

Poison=??? You mean that crappy 80's butt rock band=??? Yeah, they were always in the toilet.

Geno, meanwhile, was in one of the best RPGs and Mario game of the 90's... and actually stars in the story. Granted, his chances aren't great, but you never know in smash bros. At the very least, Sakurai seems to be fond of Super Mario RPG and Geno.

Geno would be bad getting in because then we will suddenly have people thinking if they can amass giant cults for obscure characters that they will be forced to be added in the next Smash Bros.

Not necessarily. Licensing issues can mean a lot of different things from a company perspective. After all, not every subsidiary of Nintendo has to let Sakurai use their material and content.

Geno getting in is nothing but good. People will make giant cults regardless of Geno's playablity status.

Oh, and I honestly do believe that character was Geno, which means, he's PROBABLY not showing up in Smash, since Sakurai clearly hit a wall with him during Brawl. How sad.

This is true, but can you think of a character who fits that bill didn't have any content in Brawl? Starfy most definitely did.

The characters I can think of aren't even requested.

Heck, it could've even been Starfy because of TOSE. They might not have wanted him in until he went international(which I'm sure was planned at the time, since The Legendary Starfy came out the year after Brawl). Who knows.

@Shortie: You do make a good point, though... If TOSE hadn't let any Starf-stuffs in, he wouldn't be an AT.

Nah. No other "cult" has been nearly that big.

The Poo cult wasn't anywhere near as big.

The cult of that one Skyward Sword character=??? A dumb fad.

The cult of the Duck Hunt Dog=??? Seen as a joke that a few keep telling that hasn't ended over the last decade because people always go back to it.

Geno is seen as one of the 3 main characters of Super Mario RPG (the others are Mallow and Mario) and the most popular out of the two that aren't Mario (sorry Mallow).

Why was Poison brought up?
I was comparing the demand of Poison to appear in a SF game to Geno's demand to appear in Smash. The only two differences are that Geno is owned by Square and nobody has tried to bombard Sakurai's twitter with Geno requests.

Oh, and I honestly do believe that character was Geno, which means, he's PROBABLY not showing up in Smash, since Sakurai clearly hit a wall with him during Brawl. How sad.
Or, he retreated in order to strategize for the next attempt. Realistically, it may have taken too long for him to be included in time.

Stupid Geno, he was not even the best character in that game. Mallow 4 life!

Yeah, who knows. It kind of reminds of how with Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Nitsuma wanted to add a Monster Hunter character into the game, but the subsidiary within Capcom that holds the rights to the franchise said "nope".

We can dream, we can dream. I certainly HOPE that's what happened.

Oh, but Staaaaar, Starfy WAS IN BRAWL, you silly raptor.

I still don't get why for Geno. He is both insignificant to Super Mario and Square-Enix. Heck, Square-Enix made four more games with Mario characters in it after Super Mario RPG, and two of them even referenced Super Mario RPG (remix of Mushroom Kingdom Super Mario RPG theme), yet neither Geno or Mallow appeared in any of them. Heck, up until Brawl's announcement Geno was no more popular than Mallow was. Never underestimate the power of the bandwagon and mob mentality.

Never underestimate the love for a character. Sometimes, it's just that simple.

There's two missing categories of songs, one that was a Nintendo franchise (inbetween Animal Crossing and Kid Icarus) and another that comes inbetween Sonic and the Melee Past Stages (so it might be a third 3rd Party series).
Chances are, that Nintendo character comes from the former series inbetween Animal Crossing and Kid Icarus.

People don't need a REASON to simply like a character Chrono.

Well, they do. He's cool.

I did not say it was Starfy I just responded "yeah, who knows". My point was that licensing issues do not necessarily need to involve third party stakeholders.

That's right, before the Geno cult took over Mallow reigned supreme!!! Now he has become the second banana. Smh.

Square Enix reps don't really interest me at all, dunno why
Besides Geno, third parties don't interest me. Well, smaller franchises don't either.

I would not mind if we got no third parties, Little Mac, Miis, Takamaru, and Saki. That's it for new franchises.

And then fill up on other franchises.

The thing is that Geno bandwagon pretty much exploded out of nowhere and pretty much collapsed after Brawl was released too. Now, people want Toad, Bowser Jr., Paper Mario, and even Waluigi more than Geno.

Collapse, schmallapse. It doesn't need to be constantly active. What? You think they keep begging for the character every moment?

Meh, I don't know about that. There are still a lot of people around here who like Geno, it's not completely collapsed.

Well I KNOW THAAAAT.

Yes. I find it funny when I posted polls for a Mario newcomer during pre-Brawl (after Brawl's announcement), Geno was one of the highest ranked Mario characters in the poll, yet when I post Mario newcomer polls now, he gets barely any requests. That is a collapse right there.

Shut up, Star. I'm trying to beat S&P on normal. Bet YOU couldn't even do that.
Who said I didn't go back and do it? You just asked me about my first time. :troll:

Isn't Fatmanonice to blame for the Geno cult? And yet, we still love him dearly.
I think even David Koresh would be jelly.

From Fatmanonice on Smashboards:
I agree, it isn't enough which is why I hope to expand the idea to other sites. Back in 2006, I started Operation: Star of Heaven. Basically it was a campaign to get Geno in Brawl. It started on Nsider where me and about 10 other Geno fans created a 26 page portfolio (both in English and Japanese) supporting Geno's inclusion into Brawl. I then went to Nintendo's HQ in Kyoto and tried to drop it off but a security guard turned me away so I had to send it when I was in Tokyo. After I came back, I made "bases" in other forums to rally support. I made one here, on IGN, on Gamespot, and on Gamefaqs and support for Geno grew from there.

My guess is that people were starting to change from what they wanted to what they're expecting. Look what happened to SSBF.

He's a beautiful man.

He's beating every Mario character but Toad an Juior on my poll, and is tied with PM atm. He's beaten him in the past, I do believe.


How long did it take for Peach to be revealed in Brawl? Unless Toad is a character revealed right off the bat, I would be looking out for HER on the coming DOJO
