I never finished the game. Do I need to to figure out that Geno wasn't the main character? Mario obviously was. Geno wasn't even there the whole game.

To repeat myself--I stated my reasons in my very first post here, to make it easier for everyone.
Who the hell cares who the first character was?

Stop being so close minded and open yourself up to the classic icon of Super Mario RPG that has manifested into Geno...

You'll live longer...

Heh, look at that. Seems like he can't counter my efforts on the last page.

Or, maybe he's in the thesaurus trying to find new ways to say fail, sucks, terrible, and fanboy.

One last piece of evidence before i stop talking to you like all my other Geno-supporters have done.

LEGEND OF ZELDA

the games are about link yet Zelda is in the title

SMRPG is about Mario trying to save the world yes, but who is the game really centered on, who is the catalyst?

Answer those and if you come up with a logical counter argument we'll talk more, if not we're done talking.

...or, I just chose to ignore it because:

1. It was lost in the influx of recent posts, and I missed it.

2. It was full of lose, and I simply forgot about it.

Sadly enough, there's not enough synonyms to properly describe you.

LEGEND OF ZELDA

The Legend of Zelda is about Zelda, ***gort. Why else would it be called Legend of Zelda? Link is just the main / playable character.

SMRPG is about Mario trying to save the world yes, but who is the game really centered on, who is the catalyst?
To answer:

SMRPG is about Mario trying to save the world

SMRPG is about 5 heroes saving the world, not just Mario. He had help and without that help he wouldn't have succeeded.

Yet you contridicated yourself as well!
Just because the main character's name isnt in the the title doesn't mean its about them all the time.

Look at "Mario is Missing" I've never played it but it the main characters are Yoshi and Luigi same with Zelda.

Not really.

LoZ is technically ABOUT Zelda, but Link is the main character. I was reffering to SMRPG, in which the game's main character is Mario. I have no idea why you used the Zelda argument.
technically...techinaically...technically...

Mario has to save Peach that gets down half way in the game
Mallow finds his parents near the end of the game
Peach is rescued my Mario halfway in the game
Boswer gets his keep back near the end of the game

Geno has to find all the stars and that doesn't happen till the end of the game where all the story is done with and all thats left is the final boss.

Point is that it has Mario in the name but it's about Geno's quest to gather the missing pieces!

Just posting to show my support of Geno. SMRPG is a classic game and deserves to be represented in Brawl. Heck, you'd think the fact that despite not having a game in 11 years, the fact that Geno is as popular and requested as he is is a testament to the strength of the character and the game he's from and considering that the Smash series is basically fanservice to video game fans, it would make sense to put him in the game for the fans. I guess that doesn't make him good enough for some people though...

Harry, are you going to be upset when characters that aren't "worthy" (aka you just don't like them) are confirmed for Brawl?

Thank you. And let me ask. Was SMRPG a memorable game for you? :)

Guys, guys, guys, WILL YOU STOP TRYING TO FIGHT THIS GUY?!

All he wants is to get this thread ****ing LOCKED. You're going to get our 500+ pages killed, and we'll have to start from the beginning.
Well, this thread IS made by McFox...

You're absolutely right. A game called "Mario is Missing" can't be about Mario, who happens to be missing. That's ludicrous, and completely unbelievable.

WTF are you thinking, Nintendo?
Exactly, i don't care if you're using sarcasm. But the fact that Geno is 1 of the 5 PCS in SMRPG makes him equally as important as Link or Luigi in the games they play a important role in, thus u r contridicting yourself.

...Okay, you have me there.

Still, this is getting us nowhere. We're going to keep flaming him, and he's just going to keep saying "LOL FANTARDS". Vicious cycle, people!
Obviously hes stopped and is only focusing on posts about him, so let me talk to him 1 on 1 and the rest of you stop worrying and discuss Geno to keep it on topic!

Geno equally important as Luigi or Link? That's a good one. It's also the reason Geno has been in only 2 games, and why he isn't already in Smash Bros.

It amazes me when people post stuff like this. You're not different than any other character's fanclub--they all think their particular character is a shoe-in, with 100% chance of getting in.

I meant in their games

Mario is Missing any game of legend of Zelda, duh.

You can't compare characters because of many variables, however since we're using the context of significance and roles we can compare them.

Luigi PC in MArio is missing but not in the title
Legend of Zelda series all except 1 game has Link's name "A link to the past"
SMRPG (about Geno, Mallow, Peach and Bowser as well, but Geno is the catalyst since his mission is the 1 that you have to beat in order for the game to end, unless you quit playing the game for whatever reason)


Also have you ever played SMRPG, Harry?

The Legend of Zelda is about Zelda, ***gort. Why else would it be called Legend of Zelda? Link is just the main / playable character.

To answer:

Stop pwning yourself so hard. Your face is starting to swell.
See the underlined text.

Well, I think you just kicked yourself in the *** there. You blatantly admitted that LINK was the main character of the story---and considering that the games revolves around the things that he does...

Hm. If I recall, the plot isn't able to move along without the actions of Link. Zelda may be the primary MOTIVATOR to the plot as a whole but all of the story centralizes around Link and what he does from point A to point B. And so, I guess, you could say it was with Geno. Sure, Mario is the big cheese and is the guy who has the name in the title, but when Geno was introduced into the story proper everything hinged on HIM and his PLIGHT. You could say that, after a fashion, he fell into a backdrop that could be similar to Zelda's in the LoZ games: He was a plot device, utilized in a way to further the story at some points.

The biggest difference that I can note here is the fact that Geno is pretty much playable right from the get-go; it doesn't take you long to get him in his party. Zelda, as I recall, has never been available to the player (aside from Melee, of course). That gives Geno a unique dynamic over Zelda; in your traditional RPGs, it is NOT unheard of for the player to assume control of the resident plot device. That's why Geno is important and has a good amount of clout behind him. Zelda, on the other hand, IS NOT PLAYABLE. THEREFORE, SHE ACTS AS THE PRIMARY CAUSE AND EFFECT FOR THE STORY. And she doesn't go beyond that. Geno goes beyond that and falls into the mold of traditional RPG characters.

Now, I'm not saying that Zelda shouldn't be playable---****, she is---I'm just saying that Geno is an important character in his own right and in his own game. If he does get in, it would make a little bit of sense.

In other words: Stop being a troll.

Also consider Falco who was only a supporting character in 2 games prior to Melee and was only playable in multiplayer mode. I don't think "importance" is that important to who makes the roster. It's more about what the fans want and the ability to have a good moveset, of which Geno has both.

Don't forget that Geno is a PC and vital to the plot! =)

The Zelda games are not RPGs, so that is a moot comparison.

Ooh, see what I did there?

Which only furthers the point that Zelda is a major part of the story. Geno is not a major part of Mario's franchise. Therefore, he's not really fit to represent Mario's massive franchise in any way, shape, or form.

In other words: Stop being a troll.
If trying to actually have a sincere debate is called "trolling" here, then that's just one more strike against the intelligence of this thread. Basically, the message I'm getting from you is anyone who doesn't share your views is worthless, and should die.

True he may not be important to the Mario franchse. But the Mario RPG branches yes. If it weren't for the stars or Geno trying to gather them, there wouldn't be a related theme in the Paper games (crystal stars, star pieces and star spirits) or Mario and Luigi: SS (beanstar)

Geno wouldn't represent the Mario franchise. He would represent Mario RPG, which is still an extremely popular game with an extremely popular character despite not having anything related to it released in 11 years. I fail to see how Geno would be any worse of an addition than Pit or the Ice Climbers.

Also to add to the Zelda point

Mario has to save Peach from Bowser

Link has to save Zelda from Ganon

However with the contexts of SMRPG

Geno has to collecet the stars and the reason why is because of the star road because without him Mario and co won't know what to do with the star pieces.

Geno for Mario RPG branch representation!
