Considering every discussion is now going to be made up horse crap like the previous statements, I'm going to get the hell away from this place too.

My argument is..... Moogle? SLIME? Really? As a playable character? Sounds more like an item, like cucco. I mean as far as recognisability goes, Geno is an actual character and not a mascot, and brings something interesting with his design and possible moveset. Plus, again, he is actually well loved and popular among those who played Mario RPG. As for "out of all Square characters", how important are those compared to a stright-up Mario game?
Mario RPG, I'll admit, is important, since it opened the way for Mario and Luigi and especially Paper Mario.

However, Geno only ever appeared in that ONE game, and as such, is not exactly important in terms of Mario or really anything, because outside of Superstar Saga's cameo, he never appeared in any Mario, nor was he referenced at all in ANY of Square's games, similarly to Mallow.

Black Mage, on the other hand, could ALSO have an interesting moveset, and has appeared more frequently than Geno alongside Mario and the rest of the Mario cast. Not to mention, Black Mage is also a character from a still-running franchise, as opposed to Geno, who was basically in a one-off that eventually evolved into Paper Mario.

Fortune Street, in my opinion, sealed Geno's fate. It used Square and Nintendo characters, and even had SMRPG music on Peach's Castle, yet Geno and Mallow (even though I would've loved to see them) were completely absent.

And that Paper Mario is actually developed by a Nintendo Subsidiary.

Well, bye.

I'd like to see someone who played Mario RPG and doesnt remember Geno :p Hes kinda important to the plot. And people kinda really like him, but whatever.

Duck Hunt tho.

But I guess I could see Black Mage being picked. Though, I rather have someone with a name and set personality that isnt interchangable between games :p

The Ice Climbers can't comeback unless they want to screw over old 3DS players
I hope they want to screw over old 3DS players then.
The "they can't have it so you won't either" excuse is absolute bull****.
Hopefully they're going to be New 3DS exclusives, or reworked somehow.

Notably, Alphadream has been asked about him too, and they did make Mario & Luigi as well as helping with Super Mario RPG. So like Sora with Sqauare and Disney, he's possibly co-owned by them. I do agree he needs to do more to earn his place, but he definitely has all the potential needed, including popularity, easy of getting(since Alphadream appears to co-own him), and obviously moveset potential. Unique as well. He does honestly have a pretty good chance, as he's not like Krystal who is only popular in half the world at best and from a series that just got a major character cut.

Mewtwo's not what hyped me up mostly during that segment, it was the fact that Mewtwo is character DLC... which confirms the obvious. Doesn't confirm that Mewtwo won't be the only character DLC, but I'm holding onto Paper Mario. shut up i know it won't happen

I honestly didn't find Geno too interesting, to be honest. I can understand why people like him, sure, but he has pretty much the same goal as Twink in Paper Mario. Geno just actually gets something done. :laugh:

I'll give you that, but considering third parties have been the likes of Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man, having Geno, who only appeared in one game, not to mention the younger audience who has no idea who he is, as opposed to Black Mage, who has also appeared in recent spin-offs and younger players might know, seems odd to me. Maybe that's just me, though.

Well, it still could. Sure, it's a 3rd Mario, but he has unique moveset potential. And they already got 7 different movesets in Smash now. One more won't matter at this point.

I'm cool with a third Mario.
Especially cause it would be a different moveset entirely.

Though... we do currently have two Marios, Pits, Links, and Marths...

The way the character select screen is set up suggests that the game will probably have three more characters after Mewtwo to make a full grid of 54 squares. I know I'm like a broken record but... :popo::popo: baby, word to your mother.

Im just saying that he still has a chance, instead of being a straight-up impossibility, like some people say he is.

Theres one thing thats pondering me though.

I know mewtwo will be avaible no matter what but (only the special get for free offer is temporary)

But i like to unlock stuff again would i have to redownload mewtwo if i reset the data to unlock stuff again? Or will mewtwo just stay there untouched by the data reset.

No, Krystal has a much higher chance than any more third party characters, you should stop spreading that bull
Delicious denial. They just finished cutting a Starfox character, and you honestly think that they'd add a new, lesser popular one after? Grow up. Wolf will be DLC before that blue furry magnet is ever playable.

I'm guessing you get a code to download him, so removing your data won't invalidate your code. Also, it's tied to your NNID. You'll never have to repay for him again. You're good regardless.

I would like to fight him as an unlock battle, but it's unlikely. No biggie.

You grow up yourself if you're gonna be pushing me about it all the time. Both are possible choices

We're being totally honest with you, he really has no chance.
I never said he had no chance, I'm saying I find it UNLIKELY. And unlike you, I'm not just spewing hate, I'm having a calm, sensible debate while making valid points (in my opinion, of course).

Don't put words in my mouth.

I never said I hated Geno at all. I'm just annoyed by the propaganda about him.
GENO. IS. NOT. A. NINTENDO. CHARACTER. AND. DOES. NOT. DESERVE. TO. BE. PLAYABLE. IN. ANY. SUPER. SMASH. BROS. GAME.

And yes, he's COMPLETELY owned by Square Enix, therefore COMPLETELY third party, and a pipe dream is all he's ever going to be.
Need I remind you who says Krystal will get in before Wolf, who is more important and more popular?

And the one who at least used to think we needed another Sonic character?

I would think you of all people would have learned to respect a pipe dream, but apparently, that's not the case.

Well, it's been a while since I've been in here, what's up folks?
Nice to see you again, Capps. There's been a lot of shenanigans while you were gone.

That's because I find Geno for Smash to be the most annoying propaganda in the world. I'm not completely blind, Poppy.

Take Rouge for example, just because I use her in my avatars a lot doesn't mean I want her playable. I personally find her as assist trophy material. Will that hold you off?

People need to stop using the word deserve for characters. >_>

Quoting myself;

"Deserve" is a very stupid word to use.

No character "deserves" to be in the game or not be in the game.
Learn it. Live it.

Also, Axem Rangers should be the ones to get in from SMRPG.

Can you people calm down? It's getting a bit ridiculous honestly.

Then again, no rules were broken so you can carry on if you want
