PsychoIncarnate, seriously your the best debater here, I knew you'd show up.
Did you read a few pages back?
I would like you to answer my questions
What possision do you believe Geno deserves on the roaster?
The first 30 are already taken by confirmed or simi confirmed characters.
So what position would you say?
Ok, first I want to say Geno would seriously be the best choice for a Mario character. We got (left, assuming Toad is deconfirmed) Waluigi, Bowser Jr, Geno, and a whole bunch of people that should be considered on the same level AS Geno.
As for Waluigi...I can't seriously believe someone here thinks he SHOULD get in over Geno. He's nothing but a filler character for sports games and such as Wario's partner. I seriously believed and wanted a Wario Bros. game when he was announced...a twisted version of Mario Bros. staring them 2. It would have been nice. But he severely disappointed me. He may keep coming back in more and more games, but he's more like that annoying little kid that never leaves you alone...
Bowser Jr. might actually be a recent important character, but really...he's not that original. His design is EXACTLY like Baby Bowser...just with a mask. Of course he could have a unique moveset with the paintbrush and all...That would really be the ONLY thing unique about him. Drawing from any other game...He's got nothin' for him. I'm also partially bias because I loved the NES days with the Koopa Kids and he seems like a cheap replacement for them...since they all had unique personalities and different abilities
Now comes Geno...Most people FOR him are bias because they grew up with Mario RPG back in the day and it was one of the first RPG's many people played. Geno was the powerful, silent sage sent from the stars to protect the balance of the world, wielding the power of heaven's light to vanquish any foe that dared cross his path., even being powerful enough to knock Mario out 1 hit KO BEFORE he gained aetherial powers...Geno seriously is one of the more powerful beings in the Mario universe and one of the only characters that aren't completely incompetent. Geno is a strange character, a wooden doll brought to life by the possession of a star sent from the heavens, but built with a full arsenal of guns and lasers and such into his body...Now I wish I had THAT kind of toy when I was young. His moveset potentially can be very strange and different...Perfect in my book!
What seems to be the main arguements against him is he has ownership within Square and he hasn't shown up in a MAJOR role in a while so the younger audience doesn't know of him. I swear if he didn't have ownership within Square, NO ONE would fight against him...but I don't know because different circumstances are impossible to predict (At least based on the theory of time I believe in)
For the ownership within Square, some people believe he can fit in with Loop Holes or other such things. I personally don't believe anyone here knows exactly how the business between Square and Nintendo works...it seems just to be based off assumptions and such. Also, Sakurai's policy on 3rd party/ guest characters seems to be vague. It's debatable what it means...Such as how Sakurai clearly put Geno in with the Mario characters but made a seperate catergoty JUST for non-nintendo characters that included Megaman, Bomberman and such...But Geno does have ownership within Square...Everything people argue about that is just an assumption. By Icons in video game history, Megaman does fall higher than Geno by quite a bit...but that doesn't mean Geno can't get in...Mario RPG was a game that had a lot of influence for a lot of gamers...and personally, expanded my love of platformers to RPG's as well by mixing elements of both...(If you think about it, gamers who liked Mario bought the game without knowing much about RPG's and it influenced them enough to play more RPG's...and who is one of the lead designers for RPG's...SQUARE...those tricky *******s, heh!)
As to how he is not known by younger audiences...Well, that is true but Geno can be put in for older gamers...Well, Geno's game is coming out for VC, they can check it out if they want to. Honestly, I think a lot of them with be pleasantly surprised to unlock a character they never heard of...I was with Ness and Captain Falcon. Mario RPG was in itself an important game to Nintendo history because it symbolized the peak of Nintendo and Square's relationship before the horrible fall out on the N64/ Playstation...Which was completely Nintendo's fault in the first place...including the rise of Playstation being made in the first place. Basically, Geno would be the SYMBOL of Nintendo and Square's relationship by adding him into Brawl (Which of course could be argued for OR against him) and that's why he is more deserving than the other Square characters...who merely are a symbol of Square itself and their profits (I'll further explain that later if you so wish)
I'm probably missing stuff because I'm babbling on and lose track of thought though
Edit: Sorry, forgot this...We knock at least Sakurai likes the character and has looked into him...that's at least something
Geno - Here’s an interesting one. A character that actually belongs to Square, but belongs in the Marioverse. What does Sakurai think? Well, actually, he’s intrigued. Geno is tied for second as well, and Sakurai has been noted as asking around for what the character is like. When he starts asking, it’s a good thing, btw. It means he’s bothering to learn who they are But Geno has been mentioned many-a-times, and Sakurai is listening to hard to each suggestion. And he’s yet to turn them down. That’s something, right?
****, it took me a long time to right this and no one read it
