And they also made an article about people being disappointed over Byleth.
Yeah, I get what you mean.To be honest...regardless of what he said, I honestly do have to somewhat question how much Sakurai actually wanted to add Geno considering the guy got passed over for not one (), not two (
Of course, all of this was before the Mario RPG remake. It really feels like it's truly do or die for Geno the next Smash.
I was actually going to bring that up. Thanks for doing that. I don’t think Geno has that much to worry about in terms of completion. I could see Geno be treated differently from other Mario characters because of this.
Pretty much.
I’m fine with Geno getting in. I was a huge fan of Super Mario RPG back in the day even if I never really cared about him as a character specifically. However, there are several Square-Enix characters I’d personally rather see. The main one is Magus from Chrono Trigger but H’aanit (Octopath Traveller) and Frederica Aesfrost (Triangle Strategy) would be my next. I’d also be excited for another Final Fantasy character, though my favorites aren’t the most likely. Of my favorites, I think Princess Garnet is probably the most likely if the rumors of the FFIX remake are true.
Understood. I am thinking of playing a Square-Enix game, myself. I would like to think of such a character that could be in Smash, but I have not played many Square-Enix games aside from SMRPG. I would say Black Mage from Final Fantasy 1, but Cloud and Sephiroth are already in.
The three most popular Mario newcomers, you mean.
It would not surprise me at all if Geno is either one of the last base roster newcomers or one of the first DLCs at this point
At least you can say Paper Mario is the main protagonist of every game he's been in. Notice how I said supporting characters.
They had a lot of great games back in the day like Chrono Trigger/Cross and the older Final Fantasy games (pre X-2). The new HD-2D games have been great as well. My only complaint with Octopath is the limited interaction between your party members. The sequel helped with that but it’s still very different than a typical party in an RPG. Great individual stories though. Triangle Strategy was a lot of fun but there’s a ton of story and dialogue between missions and it can be kind of grindy. If you’re okay with that then it’s a great game.
I think I may try it out. Thanks!
The final (secret) boss in the first game took over an hour to fight and I almost died right at the end. That battle was definitely stressful but I felt great when I eventually won. The final boss in the second game was much easier but maybe that’s because I was a bit overlevelled. The problem I had with Octopath 2 is the Catapault move from the Inventor class was so overpowered you basically cleared whole armies of enemies before they could ever hit you. It kind of made the other classes feel less important in comparison. I had the same issue with the Body Slam attack from the Freelancer class in Bravely Default 2.
Perhaps they wanted to test the waters on sales due to it being a remake. I can see a bigger announcement with RPG 2 when that's ready.
Yeah, I can see what you mean. I can see that came coming after Smash 6 is out, though, or at least the DLC phase of that game.
Byleth's image got rehabilitated, though. People were livid when he was added, but people forgot about that reasonably quickly because Byleth has a cool moveset, MKLeo got some results with the character, and Three Houses was a massive success. Walugi is in the same boat as he was before.
Honestly…
That's alright. Frankly, I think you might be right. I mean, don't Toon Link, Jigglypuff, and Wolf, (and Sonic) also count towards 100%? They might represent those final percentages...
My four main Mario wants for Smash Brothers are Waluigi, Toad, Paper Mario and Geno. I would not be upset if only two of those got in.
Well, I don’t deny Geno’s chances. In fact, I want him in Smash Bros. as a playable. I just try to be hopeful AND realistic about things, ya know.
I'm on the bus gus we getting Geno as dlc ONE and yeah Waluigi is base.
I think there’s a pretty strong chance you’ll get at least one of them. I can’t say the same for mine though lol.
I was not sleeping in that, honestly. I would welcome that as a Sonic fan.
Two words. GENO WHORL
Sora is fully owned by Disney. He's legally no more of a Square character than Geno's a Nintendo one. He's a nonfactor for the chances of other Squenix reps.
Oh my goodness! You have no idea how much I want Wart! Him and Captain Syrup from Wario Land.
If you ask me Shadow’s got really good chances
They still needed to talk to Squenix somewhat. The main issue with getting Sora into Smash turned out to be Tetsuya Nomura wanting to implement such a crossover into KH lore, and Sakurai needing to tell him he doesn't have to.
Yeah, I'd say either Shadow, Tails or Knuckles all have really good chances. Not counting on the three of them getting in, but at least one seems quite likely.
