Probably means Geno is the next character.
idk if y’all seen this yet but... what could this mean??
Is this person even an insider? What's their track record?
I totally agree with you with the first point. Dante having his games on Switch doesn't mean he will be in Smash, even if Itsuno words were spoken in the context of Smash.
Meta Knight was always portrayed in this way though. It's just that Kirby's artstyle is much cuter than Super Smash Bros.'s.
I heard they leaked Piranha Plant before it’s reveal, but I can’t verify that claim
Wasn't it a 4chan post that leaked Plant?
Pretty sure they leaked Cloud and some other Square stuff
That Geno's not an edge-lord like some people seem to think he is? (I have no idea why people think that) I don't think this is a hint about him being in Smash.
idk if y’all seen this yet but... what could this mean??
I'd say you should throw it out regardless of credibility. Geno isn't even on the table.Either way, unless someone can show an actual track record for this individual, I'mma just throw this one out.
That was Tansut iirc back in 4
As someone who doesn't really rate Geno above a 40%, I have to disagree here. His fanbase is very vocal and have the benefit of being acknowledged as a popular request from the game's own developer, so to be honest, his chances are the best they've ever been. If he's in, it's gonna be due to the fan demand he has in the core Smash fandom.

I mean, his real name is a heart and a music note,
The point being, 3D All-Stars was announed just two weeks ago. If Nintendo was really so hell-bent on having that collection be in the spotlight, they could've put off revealing Age of Calamity for just a bit longer. Or hell, reveal it before the 35th anniversary Direct.
How ignorant of people to still act like they know who is or isn’t on the table. Get outta here
I highly doubt fan demand from a subset of the hardcore fanbase (which in itself is much smaller than the whole audiance) is going to overcome Nintendo's lack of willingness to use characters like him.
But that’s not even the argument being made here. The argument is that they wouldn’t make some huge announcement THE VERY SAME WEEK that a major game is releasing. Got it?
It's not ignorance, it's a valid (and likely sound) conclusion based on recent trends and happenings.
You mean like Banjo, a character owned by a competing company who at the end of the day they gained nothing out of other than making the fans happy?
I made an account way back in late 2018, then used it less after the game came out. Suppose I just returned out of boredom, since speculation is frozen right now.TyrantLizardKing didn't know you also use smashboards
Nothing, Ryce was just speculating. I even remember the context of this post as they were talking about what Geno's personality would be if he got into Smash.
idk if y’all seen this yet but... what could this mean??
And K. Rool, too? I remember he had a large fan demand.
Microsoft and Nintendo had been working together for a while before, and Banjo & Kazooie were likely the result of wanting a Microsoft character, not of sheer fan demand.
Recent trend? Such as what? Banjo making it in? That character who was added purely for fan service?
I think it's because he can turn into a gun. Most of the time, that would be pretty edgy, especially in a Mario game.I mean, his real name is a heart and a music note,
Ergo, my personal headcanon is that he's a Mozart fan.
As for him being portrayed as an edgelord, (and this is coming from an outsider's perspective) isn't it partly because he's rather silent and his most famous quote is the "higher authority" bit? Doesn't take much to portray a character as an edgelord - Twilight's Edward and Jacob were both portrayed as that by some (detractors mostly) IIRC.
(And yeah, I'm doubting that this post means anything really.)
FOR HIS NEUTRAL SPECIAL, GENO TURNS INTO A GUN
Nintendo's willingness to use the character has yet to be seen. They evidently were fine with Sakurai using him as a Spirit, so it's not that they're against it.
Uh no, if Nintendo asked Microsoft to give them a character to represent them in Smash, they wouldn't choose a character they haven't used in over a decade. Nintendo had to have gone to Microsoft and asked specifically for Banjo, which was likely due to fan request. Otherwise the Microsoft character wouldn't have likely been Banjo.
Are you freakin serious? If just “wanting a Microsoft character” was all they were thinking about, why didn’t we get Steve or Master Chief? Literally Nintendo, Sakurai, Rare and Phil Spencer have all acknowledged that Banjo got in because of the massive fan demand. I swear you Geno haters do more teaching and justifying than anybody
Yeah you can blame me this time. I just wanted to know if a certain guy on era was leaking or just speculating/his words taken out of context. Apparently it was the latter
Don't get it twisted, I don't hate Geno. I just know that like all Super Mario characters, he has no chance at this point. And even if Super Mario characters were on the table, it'd be like, King Boo and that's it given that Nintendo's making the picks, the kind of picks they're making in regards to first parties, and their policies on characters they didn't make.
looks at clock
Given that he was the guy who did the storyboards, based on the context from last time I think he's just having fun. Perhaps we should just filed Ryce under "Speculator" for the context of Smash and leave it at that.
SHAME ON YOU. No, just kidding! Who knew this would get out of hand over a post from another site?
