Oh, what a load of crap. SMRPG was just as much a hit as Mother 2, if not moreso.
Geno is owned by a third party company though, so that puts a huge dint in his chances plus he's part of a huge franchise where he holds little importance so that also would be a blow to his chances.
A few pages back somebody said that Smash was purely for fan service will they please explain Pichu, Roy, Dr Mario, Ice Climbers and Mr Game and Watch.
I would rather have Dr. Mario then GENO...
I despise Geno because he is a stupid lame overrated little puppet but still he would be better than Dr Mario.
Paper Mario is just Mario. I don't want more than one of the same character. =_=
Let's forget the fact that he would have a completly unique and fun moveset and be great representation for the wildley popular Paper Mario spin off series (still part of the mario series but also different).
Dr. Mario was an unneeded clone, added purely out of time constraints, and will likely be removed in Brawl.
Time Constraints? He was added in at the last minute but only because they had spare time and they could have added 6 clones or one unique character, they probably thought the people would appreciate six characters more than one.
Seriously, people, think about the situation here. No, there aren't many more crucial Mario characters - if we get ANY more, it will undoubtably be either Toad or Geno. Toad deserves it the most, and Geno has the most fan support (one of the most-requested characters of all, FYI).
Toad is a move and Geno is third party. Paper Mario has his own mini series and don't mention the poll that's just BS it also had Link's Uncle and Blue Virus so it doesn't mean **** all.
I don't think Geno does either. I beleive he's only been in one game (but I'm not sure..)
He's been in one game as a sidekick and second game as a minor cameo.
Confirmed Mario reps:
Mario, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, DK, Diddy
You have to be some sort of ****** to think that Diddy is in any stretch of the imagination a Mario character.
I'm expecting:
Bowser Jr., Luigi, possibly Waluigi
Waluigi doesn't stand any chance.
How is a possessed Doll that can shoot lasers and summon light energies from the heavens not a cool character?
Because he's overrated and boring.
