The Official Geno Thread

[SMB PORTAL]

I said If he made it in brawl. Anyway why do you waste time writing that much? Just a question.

He writes so much because some people like to contribute to threads and voice their opinions in civilized manners. Not just pop in, say "no, he sux" in one sentance, and leave.

Question: answered.

Ah, yes, Doktur Sea is completely correct here. You are not going to be noticed much if you type "he, sux" all the time and you are contributing very little. Maybe if many people actually put your ideas into a single manner and then discussed it from there, they would not easily get into bad situations.

 

[Falco-Z]

Wow! That's all I can say...

Geno is one of my favorites. Plus he has, what, 49 pages of replies just on this thread!

Only thing is that he would be one of the 3rd party characters I think, as he is owned by Square Enix. (Correct me if I'm wrong).

 

[Redhairedpenguin12]

Yeah, i think you're right

 

[Skyshroud]

Actually, I'm not sure he is owned by Square. I know I've seen a lot of arguement about this before.

*flies off to go find out who owns Geno*

EDIT: Statement retracted, Square does indeed own Geno

*kisses his hopes for Mallow goodbye*

Huzzah's for DokturSea!

Anyway, did anyone else besides me have hopes that Geno woyuld be in Melee? I thought he did, but then I also thought he was owned by Nintendo. If people where to be hyped up for his Brawl apperance before all the characters are revealed, that may influebce Sakurai or Miyamato then Sora would put him in. I'm 90% Confident he will be in the game.

 

[magnebula]

Actually, after SSB for the N64, (I was 10 at the time), I began to make my own character, item, and stage lists that I wanted in the next SSB. Of those, Geno and Mallow were in it, and I hoped to god at least Geno would make it into Melee. Unfortunately... he didnt. I wasnt entirely disappointed, I mean, we did get Doctor Mario, Ice Climbers, and Falco (they are my favorites). But if Geno doesnt make the cut into SSBB, I will be very disappointed, as well as everyone else who supports him.

I agree that despite being owned by Square, Geno has a great chance of being admitted to SSBB.

First, he has (obviously) great support. A simple example is this thread, and if you search you can find a thread created that is titled Sakurai's poll or something to that effect. On it there is a translation of characters suggested by the Japanese (lucky) and Geno was one of the tops in votes.
Next, I think Geno has much more potential than even Ridley or Diddy to be unlike other characters. He is based on the idea of a doll with close ties to stars, so he would be able to extend his body in many ways being made of wood (im guessing there). As for being made by stars, he could possibly utilize stars' properties or stars in general as an attack.

The only thing going against Geno is that Square would have to approve his use, and Nintendo would have to make a deal to get him (involving money).
Still, this shouldn't stop Geno's inclusion in Brawl because of the reasons that I listed above, as well as many that I am sure are in this thread that I am not aware of/have forgotten.
Besides, who wouldn't want the doll that kicks butt?

 

[Chi's Finest]

Wasn't Geno in a cameo of a recent game owned by Nintendo? I think it was one of those Mario games for DS.

 

[DokturSea]

Anyway, did anyone else besides me have hopes that Geno woyuld be in Melee?

Nope. This thread's got 700 someodd posts all about how everyone hates Geno.

Heeeeeeeere's your sign.

 

[Lord_Deathborne]

I must admit, I've lost much of my enthusiasm for Geno in SSBB since his supporters seem to be the biggest bashers of everyone else's idea. Don't get me wrong - I love Geno. But his "fanbase" needs a serious slice of humble pie...

You said exactly what I wanted to say. Bravo

 

[Chi's Finest]

That's true, but then again everyone bashes everyone's ideas that don't agree with their own for some reaosn.

I'll admit I have my fair share of guilt in that matter, although atleast I try to provide reasons for my judgement instead of "such and so sucks!" But the Geno crowd is especially infamous in this regard...

 

[McFox]

Example? I doubt you're actually talking about the "Geno supporting crowd" (which is like everybody), and are actually talking about several people who go around bashing stupid ideas (like me).

And I always provide reasons, unless I have before, in which case, I don't bother.

 

[#HBC | marshy]

McFox, you say no to ideas you don't like, you're obviously a flamer.

Examples, you ask? Why my dear McFox, you happen to be one such individual. And isn't "everyone supports Geno" overstating the fact? DokturSea seems to have indicated that there are many who don't share that point of view. Sure, he has a strong following and sure the bashers I refer to are a relatively small number of the whole, but still it seems more come from the Geno camp than anywhere else...

 

[SMB PORTAL]

Man, why must we all blame each other? Ok, we are here to talk about a possible charcater for SSBB. It would be more polite if you would not waste time talking about it here and move it to PM's, and then maybe we can have a decent discussion. We all have the serious "blame" illness, and it's not helping any of these threads, and when people want to see something that someone had previously wrote on the subject, they must go back pages, because people want to spam with the flamin! Just don't bring up bashing or anything here, because it's just not on the subject matter, and a waste. So, let's please get back on discussion!

This is something that sparks up a conversation for that cool doll, and we want more.You know, this is something that is good in this thread, and for many intelligent Smashers on this board, we can't even have a good conversation. Great way to contribute Falco-Z, even though you called me an opinionist, I am willing to forgive. Also, anybody else who has contributed, it's a great way to help out. Anyone want a slice of pie?

Let's just try to stop bashing a bit, and I really don't care if you completely ignored this. Don't think I am really angry or anything, because I am calm.

[McFox]

Deathborne, try not to take the internet so seriously. This isn't a White House scandal (Character bashing coming from the Geno administration, local experts on the subject name Geno's top supporter, McFox, responsible for many of these outrages...), it's a list of people's opinions.

And it's also not like these so-called "camps" are mutually exclusive. Believe it or not, people can be in more than one camp at a time. For instance, the Geno camp is a bunch of bashers, but the Skull Kid camp stays relatively quiet? I'm in the Skull Kid camp too. Everyone here supports a lot of people, and can't be grouped into a single category.

And of course I overstate things. I'm a fan, it's what I do.

In conclusion, please chill out.

 

[Lord_Deathborne]

I'm not taking anything seriously - I was just stating that my desire for Geno in SSBB has somewhat lost it's luster. Not that I DON'T want him, just that he's been knocked down a couple notches. And yes, the Skull Kid camp is less than exemplary as well. I also acknowledge that you generally give good reasons for not wanting certain characters.

That said, Geno's pretty much a shoe-in at this point and I look forward to playing him. I'm not anti-Geno - I hope that's clear. But I wanted to point out that his support isn't universal, which happens to be the case for every character. In conclusion, Geno FTW!

Also, why chill out if I wasn't tee'd in the first place?

 

[McFox]

It sounded like you were. No hard feelings.

And I don't know about Geno being a shoe-in. Definitely Sakurai knows how many people support him (he was mentioned by the reporters at the first trailer showing, he was tied for the top number of mentions in the emails, etc.), but it ultimately comes down to whether Sakurai likes him or not.

That said, I do think that there is a very good chance that he'll be in. People keep thinking up ridiculous reasons why he couldn't, not the least of which being that Square wouldn't give him up without trying to push one of their other characters, which doesn't actually make any sense if you think about it. If Nintendo comes to Square and say "We want to use Geno," I doubt there would be any big qualms about it.

 

[icymatt]

Yeah, it didn't sound like they made a big deal about it when they were asked to allow him into Mario & Luigi, so why would they now?

 

[The Basement Dweller]

Mallow was bigger go with him.

 

[Super_Cool]

Mallow was bigger go with him.

Geno is more popular and cooler, let's go with him.

 

[magnebula]

Yea, I agree, as many probably would. Thats not to say though Mallow wouldnt make a good character and have a fanbase of his own. I want Mallow in Brawl just as well. Geno though is the better candidate, mainly due to his fan base.

 

[SMB PORTAL]

How many of you guys actually heard of im before this tread? It's just a wuestion, and I am intrested, because I didn't even know who he was before this thread.

[#HBC | marshy]

You know, it's hard to take you seriously now, especially with you always wasting everyone's time with your 1-on-1 conversations with zombie.

And Deathborne, I'm not attacking you, but I can't help but think that when you said,

I try to provide reasons for my judgement instead of "such and so sucks!" But the Geno crowd is especially infamous in this regard...

I can't help but think that you meant me. If so, I think you're talking about the Donbe and Hikari thread, but I later gave reasons. Or maybe it's because I say no to a lot of ideas, if not, nevermind.

Anyway, yes I have heard of Geno before this thread, a friend of mine told me about the game. I never really thought about including him in Melee or Brawl at the time though.

 

[Doggalina]

I knew who he was, but I have never played SM:RPG. Ever since I saw a picture of him, I've always thought that he was by far the coolest looking Mario character. I then read some things about him and realized that he wasn't just cool-looking, he was also a cool character in general.

Super Mario RPG was once my favorite game.

I'd think anyone here who had a SNES has played Mario RPG and knows who Geno is.

 

[magnebula]

Ive played through SMRPG so many times... and getting Geno is the best part of it all. So yea, Ive known of him before this thread.

 

[Zodiak-Lucien]

I have a lot of history with that game and have beat it countless times. I used to never use geno as I didnt like his character design, but I have finally come around to likeing him.

 

[Chi's Finest]

Geno was my favorite character, by looking trhe coolest, having the best attack and being fast. I';m sure mos tpeople who owned a SNES played Mario RPG and knew who Geno was before the thread.

I heard of him before this thread. I thought he was the coolest SMRPG character and I've always been disapointed they never made a true sequel with him in it. Him being in SSB:B is the next best thing.

 

[McFox]

I'm looking forward to the Virtual Console just so I can play the game again.

 

[Omega_Star]

I'm looking forward to the Virtual Console just so I can play the game again.

Aye, 'twas a great game.

Geno would be a pretty cool addition to Brawl. That'd be pretty cool if they gave him the star gun I dig your moveset McFox

 

[Drake_Miriel]

Geno would certainly be an awesome character. He strikes me as a heavily-ranged character, which would certainly be useful.

 

[Chi's Finest]

His character would be best suited to be how Sheik currently is. Light, Fast, and have strong attacks. Only he should have a lot of long ranged attacks.

 

[Haruno Kotetsu]

That would be cool. Not REALLY close to Sheik, but close.

Yeah I've known Geno way before I came to smashboards, 'twas my favorite SMRPG character.

 

[Jazzy Jinx]

I didn't know about Geno until I saw a website called SMRPG Legacy, a site dedicated exclusively to that game. So I saw him there and they said that Geno had a hand gun and beam moves and the other characters had cool moves and the overall game itself got a perfect score. So I looked for the game on the internet and saw that the cheapest I could get it for was $50 and it was used but I got anyway. I play it alot now and Geno's moves are the flashiest in the game. All of his special moves have the potential to be super moves so they would have to power them all down a little. But yeah... Geno is a cool character with an amazing back story. Now for a somewhat off topic question, I heard a rumor that Mario's Super Move is his Ultra Flame technique graphically enhanced. Ultra Flame was the last move Mario learned in SMRPG. How many people think this is true?

 

[Chi's Finest]

Not sure, but it seems possible.

 

[McFox]

It's not the Ultra Flame really. It's somewhat similar in that he shoots giant fireballs, but the Ultra Flame shot single giant fireballs at multiple enemies. Mario's current Super shoots out two giant fireballs (along with a bunch of other flame effects) that circle each other as they pass across the screen.
