Sorry kids, here's why Geno won't get in. The good news? Krystal might.

How so?

Realisticly Geno is the only one capable of representing SE since he is both: one of the most popular characters wanted for Brawl and actually was in a Mario game putting his chances higher than any other SE character.
. . .Im sorry, I don't want to sound rude but I have no idea what you are talking about.

Being highly wanted for brawl (in online forums) means that he is somehow a better rep for S/E than anyone else? He reps S/E (a huge 3rd party company) better than any other character because he was only in a Mario game with a small cameo in another Mario game?

Sorry, I don't get it.

Ok you're losing me.

If you mean that he wouldn't be a good rep for SE as a whole in Smash then I guess you would be right. I guess a much more bigger figure like Cloud would be better.

But in this case Geno stands a better chance. I've already said this before, but people are forgetting that this game is meant for Nintendo characters only. Geno would be a good enough rep for SE and quite frankly is the only SE character that acutally stands a chance of being in a SSB game.

Not near the rep status of S/E, but a Mario universe WTF character, who is actually IMPORTANT to Nintendo's history.
. . .IDK how Geno is important to Nintendo but you seem to be refering to him as a Mario character well Im looking at him as a 3rd party. And by no means is he the only character that S/E could get in brawl nor is he the S/E rep which is what this was about.

Would you rather Cloud, who had 3 minutes on a Nintendo console or as a summon?
Yeah, why not, it would be another middle figure to Sony and bring in more brawl sells plus people seem to like the Cloud V Link thing. Hell, I would perfer Sora or even a chocobo personally but what I (nor You) feel in no way matchs what the devs feel.

Even more-so, Chain of Memories isn't even a Nintendo exclusive, seeing as it got remade in 3D on other systems, so none of the character in that game are too much of a big choice.
Thats a moot point. Never was said a game had to be Nintendo only, being on the ps2 doesn't make it any less of a gba game.

He was in Mario's first RPG, which set the basis of every Mario RPG which hits the market today. Which he played a VERY major role in, mind you, "my friend".
Never said anything about his importance homs:ohwell:

This is only about if he is the end-all-be-all of what S/E could do in brawl. . . I don't think one of the largest 3rd party companies in the VG world would be limated down to Geno as their only choice as a character rep in brawl. I really have nothing against the thing and couldn't care less about him being a character if he was 1st party. But seeing as he is a 3rd party pick amoung soo few 3rd party spots I personally don't see him as likely.

But thats the thing about free will. You can see him as the only character S/E could hope to get into brawl well I can think other wise. Im gone.

Riddle me this Mach. If Geno (which he is by the way) is important to the Mario franchise, then why....why has it taken so so soooo very long for him to get into some sort of gaming title other than SMRPG and some other game I haven't even heard of? Man, I feel like pimp slapping the whole lot of SE jerks and Nintendo lazya$$es for not getting this paperwork/ business legal rights stuff done and out of the way!!:mad:

You're missing the point. This game is (or was) suppose to be a NINTENDO character only game.

Sakurai broke that rule already twice adding Sonic and Snake. But at least both those characters shared a history with Nintendo. What has Cloud or Sora done for Nintendo? What interesting history have they shared with Nintendo? None. The only thing that could be said for both is that they were in a GBA game. And that is not enough. I'm sorry to say that this isn't my opinion, this is fact.

You honestly don't think the game will sell enough with Sonic and Snake in already? This isn't an advertisement game. It's true that adding a character like Sora or Cloud will probably double, even triple, SSBB's sales. But I say once again, this is a Nintendo character only game and most of us seem to be forgetting that.

Being that Geno was created by SE for the sole purpose of being in Mario game, he is, realisticly, the only SE character capable of being in Smash at this point. I'm sorry to say, that is a fact. I don't know what you have against Geno. IMO he would do a good job of representing SE and imo, one of the best SE characters out there along with Chrono, Sora and Cloud.

That's all I have to say about that.

Thats a opinion, not a fact my friend. By no means is Geno anywhere near the "rep" status of S/E.
So who do we get, a Final Fantasy or a Dragon Quest Character=??? NONE OF THEM, because there are so many "main characters" in those series. Kingdom Hearts is too Disney involved, and would be a mess in the Subspace Emissary. Put in a good old fashioned Mario character-Geno-with his magic, built in over a dozen guns, spirt powers, and super human strength.

Plus the rumors of a SMRPG sequel boost his chances I suppose...
QFT.

Corax! *salutes*

On what system? Wii or DS?

@Black Light, if Sakurai's journal entries say that Geno is a likely candidate to be a playable character on Brawl don't convince you than I don't know what will.
Sakurai said TWICE HE THINKS GENO WOULD BE A GOOD CHARACTER IN BRAWL! Guns+magic+super human strenght+spirits+dolls=win. No denying that.

. . .Im sorry, I don't want to sound rude but I have no idea what you are talking about.

Sorry, I don't get it.
Maybe you don't get this: Sakurai likes Geno. Old school gamers love Geno. Play SMRPG, and you will love Geno. If Geno wasn't Square-Enix owned he'd be in every Mario RPG to date. Hell, Paper Mario was originally going to be called "Super Mario RPG 2" because it was a follow up to SMRPG, but Square Enix didn't want Nintendo to take their copyright title. In other words-Geno could have been in every Mario RPG to date if he was owned by Nintendo.

I never noticed this thrwead until now. The OP has the worst
logic I've ever seen for characters.
LOL. I though the same thing! :laugh: This thread is a collection of failed posts getting pwned by awsome members.

*cough*Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga*cough*. Let's speak hypothetically. If Mega Man is in Brawl (nothing outside of Nintendo, Sakurai, the final game, or the dojo confirms or deconfirms anything), then there could be another 3rd party character. If Mega Man isn't in the game, then it is obvious THERE WILL BE NO THIRD PARTY CHARACTERS PAST THE TWO CONFIRMED IN BRAWL! Yes, if Sakurai is too lazy to get the biggest gaming icon not in Brawl already, why the hell would he go for a character who's popularity is none next to the blue bomber=??? On the same hand, if Mega Man is confirmed, Geno is the next logical "wtf" step. If one is in Brawl, I have a feeling the other will. I almost see it as two sides of the same coin.

You're missing the point. This game is (or was) suppose to be a NINTENDO character only game.

That's all I have to say about that.
We can make Cloud (main character of one game in a 13 game series), Crono (who only appeared in ONE GAME in the Chrono Series), Sora (stars only 3 of the 5 Kingdom Hearts games) assist trophies. Simply put-the Final Fantasy series has too many big name big main characters. Kingdom Hearts is becoming the same-with Roxas starring the next game, three unknowns starring the other upcoming game, and Sora starring the 3 that are already out. Dragon Quest is the same. The Chrono series is the same.

TOO MANY MAIN CHARACTERS! With SMRPG, there was one main character-and that was Geno. Any othe Square-Enix choice will spark a HUGGGGGEEEE debate.

Look. What I'm trying to say is Geno is popular, but it's not logical popularity. He's a god**** wood-man with a spherical head, with a torn blue cape and a hat with a butterfly's nose on it. I don't see how anyone can possibly want to play as him. And there's no chance of him being redesigned to look cool. They can improve his graphics for sure, but make him look purely realistic? We all know the answer.
You are a failure, and the pure hatred is uncalled for. HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED F***ING SUPER MARIO RPG=??? Everyone who plays it loves it. Geno is a magic spirit who posses a doll. He has super human strength, masterful magic power, TONS of guns built into his body (like super machine guns), and he could have like 5 diffrent movesets. He's the perfect Mario character addition to Brawl-along with Bowser Jr. (we can have both). :)

They can make anyone look realistic. GENO IS cool, but you are a troll, a failure, and a moron. ANYONE CAN FIT IN, THIS IS F***ING SMASH BROS! Let's RECAP ON THE SMASH BROS. ROSTER!

We got a red overall wearing plumber who can spin around, a green overall wearing plumber who can turn himself into a human missle, a gown wearing doctor with a fake PH.D and a stetoscope, a princess with a overpowered spinning move who throws turnips, a turtle-like king with spikes who shoot flames out of his mouth and is over 50 feet tall (in SMS). We got a ape who likes to beat up plumbers, a chimp with a guitar, two guns, and a jetpack. We got a green dinosaur who throws eggs (and is a male), and carries people on his back. We got a bounty hunter racer with a crazy knee (all a bagillion of them), a powerful fist and foot, and is actually Chuck Norris in disguise.

We got a 8 1/2 foot tall man with a sword who captures princesses and kills stuff with his fist and down kick. We got a 12-year old boy in a man skirt showing off his legs, a man in a tunic who brings farries with him, a princess with magic powers and abilities, who can turn into her alter-ego, a he/she/it/that/thing/what/potato/tomato/transvestite/alien/cow brain. We got a bounty hunter who weighs 120 pounds and wears 1,000 pounds of armor, and can fight in just a layer of clothing (hello!). We got 6 inch puffball that steals people's powers, a knight with wings who swings his sword at mach speed, and a giant puffball with a hammer who crushes foes with his army and his swallow abilities.

We got a psychic boy with a hat, bat, slingshot, and yo-yo. We have another psychic boy with a Elvis haristyle, stick, and a snake condom thingy. We got a pair of eskimos who fight together by using ice powers. We got a space bird who talks and has futurist weapons and special powers, and a space fox who talks with special powers and futurist weapons. We have a small wanna be baby yellow rat that is suicidal, a yellow rat that wears hats and has electric powers, a puffball who sings and kills things by sleeping, a wimp who hides behind a small fragile turtle, mutated plant, and fire breathing and flying dinosaur dragon thingy. and the strongest genetic clone ever, that in reality SUCKS!

We got a 2D stick figure who fights with buckets, food, random hammers, and other odd random crap, a blue-haired one hand sword wielding tiarra wearing man, a two-hand sword wielding blue harid overpowered guy who in reality SUCKS, and a red-haired swords men who wields a one-hand sword, wears a headband, and well...stabs stuff! We got a angel with a bow and a two-handed odd unique sword, a gut who farts and uses farts to fly, and transforms into a Nazi, a mercenary who kills stuff and makes Chuck Norris look like Micheal Jackson (and he's got back! :chuckle:), and a blue hedgehog who runs fast and runs over everybody.

Welcome everybody and weclome all-THIS IS SUPER SMASH BROTHERSSSSSSS!!! *kicks random Geno-Hater into a pit*

Tell me how Pichu, Ness, Captain Falcon (yes, even that), Mr. Game and Watch, the Ice Climbers, Young Link, Shiek, Zelda, Peach, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and a scared Pokémon Trainer sound tough and smash worthy before they arrived in smash=??? Nuff' said, AND I WIN! Seriously, play the game, and then talk. You fail, and you are a troll by all extremes. It's one thing not to like a character, but honestly, KNOW WHAT YOU ARE INSULTING! Play Super Mario RPG half way through or something, and then you can talk.

Also, Smash Bros. is what you want to make of it. Smash has a random collection of characters in it's roster from many diverse games, series, and genres. Smash has no absolute genre. It is a fighting game. It is a strategy game (mindgames). It is a action game. It is a adventure game. It is a shooter. It is a sword fighting game. It is a flying simulator. It is a speed-based game. It is a party game. It is a sports game (scoring stye=lives and KOs). It is a stealth game (crawling; Snake). It is a RPG (Pokémon). It is a action-RPG. Hell, it's a MMORPG as far as I care.

*ends long post* Thank you the ability to copy and past! :)

So Geno in Braw fits. Hell, even random characters like Kraid could fit. Never say a character couldn't fit in smash-because Sakurai IS BEGGING TO PROVE YOU WRONG!

Sakurai did so with Ness (a virtually unknown character), Captain Falcon (no one knew him, and all you see of him in F-Zero on the SNES is his F-Zero racer), Fox (never leaves his Arwing and Tank), Falco (same), the Ice Climbers, Mr. Game and Watch, Dr. Mario, Roy (his game wasn't even out yet), Marth (no one outside of Japan knew who he was), Jigglypuff (all it does is slaps and sings in the games), the Pokémon Trainer (he hides behind his Pokémon like a wimp=win), and Solid Snake (c'mon, he stabs and kills his enemies; before his announcement, thinking of him in Brawl was dumb, and "he wouldn't fit" was the blatent excuse-and was OWNED!).

So therefore I win, by account of my awsomeness. :p Better luck trolling next time! :chuckle: And Geno rocks, and will most likely be in Brawl (if Mega Man is in). :)

Mega Man + Wind Waker Young Link + Geno = my life is complete. Brawl would then become the perfect fighting game in my opionion. Mega Man and Geno are the two most logical third party character choices out there. Sure Rayman (B class 3rd party character with no real for Brawl movement), Bomberman (his series DOESN'T SELL), Simon Belmont (there is no main character in Castlevania), Pac-man (is dead), and others *could* be intresting, but these two are the most likely.

Mega Man for more nastalia to add to Snake and Sonic. We'd have the three most reconizable, well-known, and popular third party characters in existence in one video game with tons of Nintendo All-Stars. Geno for the plot twist of the Mario series, and for all those "wtf" reactions. And because it seems Sakurai likes him.

Question 1: Why else would Sakurai mention he likes the idea of Geno in Brawl twice=more then any othe character.

Question 2: Why would Sakurai say "1-2 more 3rd party charactesr (after Snake), maybe?"=???

Anwser 1: Sakurai likes Geno and SMRPG. If he wants to add Geno, he can add Geno. Square-Enix has good relations.

Answer 2: The one was Sonic, indefinitely. The other was undoubtfully Mega Man. He read the Geno 4 votes results AFTER saying this comment. Mega Man is either in Brawl or not, obvously. Sakurai could have gone and gotten Mega Man in, but he could have not, thus disappointing most smash fans. However, that whole comment thing by Mega Man's "Father" means nothing. When you have more (believable) Mega Man rumors and more numerous then Sonic did, you know he's a shoe-in. Plus, I can mark one instance that totally counters that statement Mega Man's father made.

Anyways, I'm on a tangent. Anyways, Mega Man and Geno are DEFINITELY the two most likely third party characters to be playable in Brawl in my opinion. Only two or three other choices seem better then Geno, but no one after Mega Man is really THAT big. So a cult classic popular 3rd party Mario character is the next best option IMO! :grin: But hey...you never do know! ;) But there is no need for all this Geno hate, when you don't even know the character from their original game(s)=ignorance! >_<

Wow, I actually read that entire huge post.

I disagree on WW Link though. I'd burn my Brawl disc if they stuck him in there, even with Zelda as my fav video game series.

Let me get this straight,Geno MAY be in Brawl:the only problem between Geno and Brawl is the Square Enix copyright...
But I'm sure Krystal will be in it...as an assist trophy,as well as Skull Kid.

Actually i'm sure they would count him as a Mario character and not his own series like Sonic or Snake, which ups his chances.

Since Geno's only been in games with Mario in it... Which that's what their basing it off.

Actually they do. When Lyn appears in the third trailer you hear a voice from her. Also, Krystal's VA also listed she's doing Knuckle Joe. Oh, and don't forget about Saki.

It's true, I forgot Knuckle Joe.

I didn't know about Lyn and Saki, though.

Here's what some other poster said about Geno in another thread:

Geno probably won't be in Brawl sadly. I loved him in Mario RPG and all but the downside is when Sakurai went to the guys who ave the rights to Geno, they turned him down. Plus at a press conference a looong time ago he announced that Geno "Wasn't Brawl material". I'm really hoping that changed since but who knows. Only time will tell right.
Is this true about Sakurai consulting Square-Enix?

Anyways, I really want Geno to be in the game, but truthfully I'd rather have Sora. The only reason I didn't put Sora in my character lists and sigs is because I really don't see it happening.

. . .IDK how Geno is important to Nintendo but you seem to be refering to him as a Mario character well Im looking at him as a 3rd party. And by no means is he the only character that S/E could get in brawl nor is he the S/E rep which is what this was about.
He is not the only S/E rep which can make the final game, but he is the most wanted according to what we've seen, and he does have the greatest chances considering Sakurai has shown interest in him. It all boils down to if he asked S/E, and if they accepted; there's really nothing more to it. (With Megaman's shakiness about his inclusion because of the interview, I can see Geno filling the spot if Megaman doesn't, or even both of them making it)

Yeah, why not, it would be another middle figure to Sony and bring in more brawl sells plus people seem to like the Cloud V Link thing. Hell, I would perfer Sora or even a chocobo personally but what I (nor You) feel in no way matchs what the devs feel.
What the devs feel is Geno, as you've seen Sakurai's shown interest in him MULTIPLE times. What you feel for Geno because you haven't played the game is your business, but what the devs have already reviewed are right in front of you. You are acting as if they can't throw Cloud into the next FF game and gain profit off of that; why not bring back a retired character and gain money of a character that is otherwise dead.

Thats a moot point. Never was said a game had to be Nintendo only, being on the ps2 doesn't make it any less of a gba game.
Doesn't make it any less of a GBA game, but what I'm saying is technically, the more screen-time you have are the more chances. (Yes, a Geno fan admits, which is why I believe Megaman has more chances) Cloud was there for all of what, 3 minutes during the game? Brawl is a game for NINTENDO characters to duke it out, and the fact of the matter is, the more time you have on a game, it increases your chances, so no matter how little or small it increases it, it still increases the character's chances.

Never said anything about his importance homs:ohwell:
Okay...

This is only about if he is the end-all-be-all of what S/E could do in brawl. . . I don't think one of the largest 3rd party companies in the VG world would be limated down to Geno as their only choice as a character rep in brawl. I really have nothing against the thing and couldn't care less about him being a character if he was 1st party. But seeing as he is a 3rd party pick amoung soo few 3rd party spots I personally don't see him as likely.
They are not limited to it, but from what they've seen on the polls, etc. etc., that's who the devs are interested are putting in. There are few 3rd party spots, but as you see he IS high up on the polls, and Sakurai has shown interest in him, as I've said before it all boils down to if they accepted or not. Geno's chances are at the least likely, and you must admit.

But thats the thing about free will. You can see him as the only character S/E could hope to get into brawl well I can think other wise. Im gone.
You can think whatever you want, but I'm not thinking anything. I'm simply analyzing what Sakurai has done/showed interest in, and going out on a limb about it.
My answers highlighted.

I really don't believe sakurai included characters just because they were main characters in a game and completly ignored other characters considered as minor.

Characters like Geno and Midna in my opinion are no longer minor if so many people support them.

Also your list does include some minor characters, Pichu is quite minor in the pokemon games compared to pikachu and jigglypuff.

For real? He makes a cameo appearance?! Still though, it's not as if you can pick him on that game. And I never said that Megaman and Geno wouldn't be on the same game. They could be, but still I have my doubts. Geno hasn't been "in action mind you" in a long long time. He deserves to be.

Why does Geno "deserve" to be in anything... he didn't change the world of gaming, or have any major influence.

People are confusing Geno with the actually SMRPG game.

Dunno, that's like one of the million dollar questions of today. How did he exactly get so popular and why does everybody want him in Brawl?

I like em because his way of attacking people is unorthodox. That and he has a pretty cool personality.

This is not a big question lol, its simple.. 4 Japanese people who knew about the poll voted for him. The poll results were posted in this forum, and then everyone suddenly loved Geno and he apparently had this big fan base that includes less than 50 people. How is he unorthodox in an RPG.

This is similar to how Ashley became popular, people heard her song and bam.. "she must be in brawl"

Personally, I don't want Geno in. I believe that, though he is popular, he is not important enough to warrant a spot.

But the thread creator didn't put out his arguement very well, that's for sure. A little more research was required before this arguement could be considered valid.

Pichu, by the way, was actually pretty popular in the anime around the time that the game was made. And Mewtwo was also prominent in the anime.

Wow, I actually read that entire huge post.

I disagree on WW Link though. I'd burn my Brawl disc if they stuck him in there, even with Zelda as my fav video game series.
ill remember this quote XD

This is not a big question lol, its simple.. 4 Japanese people who knew about the poll voted for him. The poll results were posted in this forum, and then everyone suddenly loved Geno and he apparently had this big fan base that includes less than 50 people. How is he unorthodox in an RPG.

This is similar to how Ashley became popular, people heard her song and bam.. "she must be in brawl"

agree, I mean geno is awesome IMO, but the whole ashley thing, all of a sdden after the musik hit, an invasion of ashleys arrived...

Lemme tell you this story. When I was like 13 years old, I went into EB games to buy Super Mario All Stars as a reward for getting straight A's. Then this guy working there offered Super Mario RPG to me as well. I saw the commercial of this game and by the looks of it, it looked pretty crappy. So I was like "Nah, I think I'll pass." But then the guy offered it to me for like $2 bucks and I was like what the heck, I'll take it.

Greatest. Business. Transaction. I. Ever. Done. Geno and Mallow made me fall in love with the game.:chuckle:

I could honestly care less what those 4 Japanese guys decision was. I'm glad they did what they did though.

Oh yeah and he's "unorthodox" because he's a walking, talking firearm. Geno has loads of firepower that even would make Pinocchio jealous.:)

You're right, it's the exact same as Ashley's situation because people also voted for him in the offical Melee poll back in 2001, he actually has something to stand on because he was mentioned in Sakurai's journal, and has had constant and wide spread support since E3 06... :/

Sorry, but you're comparing a character that's been in high demand for almost two years and has an exceptionally vocal fanbase to a character that's been mildly popular for about 3 months. Also, the 21,000+ people who supported the SMRPG remake petition, the 444 people who supported my petition back in 2006, the dozens of people who have vocally supported Geno on You Tube, the dozens of arists on deviant art who have made Geno fan art, and the 5000+ people who supported him in the 2005 Game FAQs character battle, the hundreds of people who have made SMRPG the most wanted VC title in North America and Japan disagree with you when you say that he has " a fanbase of 50 people, lol."

You weren't...uh...being sarcastic in that post were you? I'm just saying that first, that story was true, and second, it just confirms that before Geno got blown up as a popular character, me and I bet some other people were fans of him loooong before he got cult popular.

Geno is not a unique case, even if he was voted for in the Melee poll he did not top it. Gardivoir (idk if thats how you spell it) was liked by Sakurai.. did it become playable?

SMRPG is not Geno alone, stop using the fan base of SMRPG as the same fanbase of Geno. I doubt 444 unique individuals supported your petition. The Game Faqs Character Battle is a joke,no one truly takes this thing serious , and I doubt the votes are 100% unique. And what can't you find in bulk on deviant art?

Geno's fan base maybe bigger than 50 people, but Its not as big as you are trying to make it seem.

I was a fan of him since I first played Mario RPG (95? 96?). Well, whenever it was.

Yu forget that most of SMRPG's popularity is because of Geno alone.

It's spelled Gardevoir, and the 3rd generation pokemon came out after Melee. Plus, if you flip the script the other way, Gardevoir can still make it onto Brawl, meh....just not as a playable. Only because thanks to Genius Sorority, they made him look pretty ******** on Pokemon Battle Revolution.

@Chi, I've been a long time Geno fan too since 95.

SMRPG is not Geno alone, stop using the fan base of SMRPG as the same fanbase of Geno. And I suppose that none of those people were fans of Geno or would enjoy having him playable in Brawl? Talk about going beyond the call of duty when it comes to delusions... I doubt 444 unique individuals supported your petition. Want me to post them?The Game Faqs Character Battle is a joke,no one truly takes this thing serious , and I doubt the votes are 100% unique. You know, despite it only allowing you to vote once per IP Address.... :/ I understand that you utterly despise Geno but must you try to trivialize everything based on your own bias?And what can't you find in bulk on deviant art? That's besides the point. The point is that the number of individual artists that have done Geno pieces on Deviant Art probably surpasses the "50 people" bench mark you set for Geno's entire fanbase.

Geno's fan base maybe bigger than 50 people, but Its not as big as you are trying to make it seem.
For a cult fanbase, it's consideribly large. Of course, it doesn't compare to the likes of people like Ridley, Krystal, and Megaman but it's full hardy to believe that it's only a few dozen people.

How would you know? Did you interview everyone that got the game to make sure that was the reason?

Seriously, I'm guessing that such people are the minority, not the majority. There were many other characters besides Geno in that game, including Mario icons like Bowser, Peach and Mario.

Yeah but what separates him from those three characters that he was new to the game for one, and two, he had an awesome dialouge. If they were to give him a voice in Brawl, it could work. And three, his moves were beyond sweetness. You know this to be true. If you don't, then I challenge you and all of you anti Geno people out there. PLAY SMRPG RIGHT NOW!!

Well, It didn't get playable(sadly:()but it still got in as a pokeball(pokemon gts so manny res anyway includng pokeballs) But Gardevoir got a reletivly small fabase compared o Geno and wasn't as popular in the series as some of theother PKMN( namly Gallade)
