NO. THERE IS NO ONE ELSE WORTHY OF A SPOT.
Geno would be ok, but I consider him different.
and yes, caps were necessary.

Over there
First up, the chimps don't count as Mario reps. They do a sports game together here and there but they have their own games. I expect to see Paper Mario in Brawl despite you whiners who keep saying that he'd be a clone, even though if you ever played Paper Mario you'd clearly see that he has entirely different moves. Luigi, of course, will return due to him being awesome and such. I also expect we will see either Geno or Bowser Jr. Both would have original movesets but I personally favor baby dragons over possesed wooden dolls, but that's just me.

The clone part is not what people are complaining about why they don't like paper mario...it's the fact he's just a paper version of Mario...

I think Paper Mario should be in Brawl. He has his own series, and he'll be sure to have even more games in the future. Represents the RPG side of Mario just fine.

Geno does better...in your opinion. Geno's only been in one game...two if you count a simple cameo. How would he represent all of Mario's RPG side? Paper Mario brings a nice style contrast with other characters, and they could make him different from the normal Mario anyhow. In my opinion, Paper Mario is practically a shoe-in for Brawl.

Well most evidence proves otherwise...

...and no matter what his moveset is...He still looks only like a flat mario

Geno is more unique than a flat version of Mario

Geno is less likely than a flat version of Mario too.
Not really...

...and if the whole Square thing was not an issue, he would already be in...No one would have a problem with it...

...I still believe he will be in

Well lets see

Paper Mario
-1st Party
-Has own spinoff series
-Appeared in 3 games
-Has potential for a unique moveset.
-Has been in 3 games released worldwide.

Geno
-3rd party
-Minor character in terms of the company that owns him and the series he is from
-Has only appeared in 1 game, 2 if you count a minor cameo
-Has potential for a unique moveset.
-Has only appeared in an insignificant cameo worldwide.

Which seems more likely to you?

Have you ever played ANY of the Paper Mario games?

If you did you would realise that Paper Mario has numerous abilities (His folding techniques, all his partners, the Pixls, his hammer, variosu items, etc.) that normal Mario doesn't. There's no point in hating Paper Mario just because he looks liek Mario.

And besides, if characterst hat looked similar to another character warrented not getting a spot on the roster, then Luigi, Young Link, Pichu, and Dr. Mario wouldn't have been in Melee. That's not enough of a reason to count otu Paper Mario.

In the last few days I've taken a liking to Geno.

If we get another Mario rep and it's not Paper Mario, it has to be Geno. In fact Geno probably is the best choice seeing as he's unique.
I've never really gotten into Geno myself.
But I haven't played Mario RPG, so I can't make any negative judgment.
I'll just go with Geno, everyone seems to want him prety bad. :kirby:

Still think Geno is a more reasonable choice... Only because he's WAY more popular... At least that's what I think, anyway.

Bowser Jr and Paper Mario would be unique Mario reps too and unlike Geno they are well known to the masses and first party. You Geno fanboys need to realise that he isn't that likely.

I don't care which one any of this irrelivent crap proves has a better chance. I'm still betting on Geno in Brawl and Paper Mario not.

Luigi is the must...but the others most likely will not be in Brawl...and I have played ALL the Paper Mario but the new one...I don't support ANY characters that are just different versions of a character already in Brawl

I hope this doesn't sound silly...but if Geno DOES get in, I think in a lot of ways it would be just as important as the inclusion of Sonic. I think Bowser Jr. has strong chances.

Geno has a very slim chance and if he is in that there will have to be a good square enix character as well because there is no way they would just let them use Geno without making them put in one of their important characters as well.

I agree. SE would probably not see Geno as their best choice of brawl "advertisement".

Geno's chances are not slim...they aren't high enough to consider him definetly in but it is not slim...

...and I highly doubt Square is going to require them to use another character

I've played Legend of the Seven Stars, so I know Geno, so I'm not just randomly hating on him, but no, outside of thsi forum, Geno isn't popular. nobody even knows who he is at all. If you really think about it, Paper Mario has everything on Geno except for maybe creativity (and addtitude and personality, lol).

Don't get me wrong. If Geno was in Brawl it would be awesome, but I don't expect it. At all.

Outside of looks, Paper Mario is a totally different character to nomral Mario. Why won't you accept this?

Square would be horrible buisness people if they didn't make sure they used one of their good characters. It's good advertisement that doesn't cost them a dime but will make them heaps.

Wait, how can you honeslty expect Geno but not expect Paper Mario? Paper Mario has 3 games, all relevant, a unique array of thigns to choose from for a moveset (well so does Geno), is 1st party, and is popular outside of SWF too. Geno doesn't have any of that outside of a unique moveset...

I honestly want Geno and believe he's in but I'm still pesimistic as hell...Everyone wants their character to be in Brawl above all others...what makes supporting Geno any different than anyone?

I just doubt they are going to add Paper Mario...again, mostly because nothing really of paper mario has been mentioned much and because I still don't support ANY alternate versions of ANY characters

xianfeng is trying to say: I can assure you that Geno won't make it even though he has a cult following worldwide and is one of the most requested and noticed characters by Sakurai on his poll!

No I'm not. I'm just saying that his fanbase severly overestimates his chances and the bash characters that have an equal or better chance than him and fail to realise that Square is a company and their first priority is to make money.

Also saying that I'm spreading my ***gotry is just plain stupid and immature on your part, but you probably didn't know that I'm actually gay so I'll let it slide.

No one overestimates anything...we just have faith because we want out favorite character in...

I'm not ignorant to his true chances, I just believe he will be in

No if Geno is in than another Square character (most likely from the FF series) will be in I am positive of this fact. It's just good buisness sense.
...so is putting in a character a lot of people want....Geno...and they know people do...

At least Geno would be in, I could give a sh-t about some generic and sh-tty FF character unless they were Kefka.

I can understand why you want him in. The character I want the most is Megaman, he's my favorite video game character, but I honestly realise he's not as expectable as soem think, so I understand where you're coming from. You're right everyone WANTS their favorite character in over anyone else, but do you honestly EXPECT it? Do you EXPECT Geno (or Megaman for that matter) to be in over Dedede or Ridley?


And if you won't accept that outside of physical looks Paper Mario is way different to normal Mario, there's no point arguing it...

How is DK a Mario rep let alone Diddy? Donkey Kong was around before Mario even existed and i dont think Diddy has EVER been in a game with Mario

Edit: Geno for Brawl!

But they would hold out to make as much money as possible from the game as they could and then shove one of their important characters in as well. They would know how requested Geno, which is why they would try to get as much money and as much square stuff in as possible.

No, I don't expect Geno to be in, I believe it...Expect is based on evidence, Believe is based on faith

I already said I know Paper Mario is different and stuff...But he still is just an alternate version of Mario...His character is, not moves or anything and the character is the only part I care about.

But they would hold out to make as much money as possible from the game as they could and then shove one of their important characters in as well. They would know how requested Geno, which is why they would try to get as much money and as much square stuff in as possible.
What Square character from FF in the least from a Nintendo system has any real importance to their series?

Diddy has been shoved in a bunch of Mario sport games recently.

About as equal, since he was the same rank as Ridley and Ike were on Sakurai's poll.
What makes you think this poll is so important the poll that included Blue Virus and Link's Uncle.
