Technically it just started since people actually wanted sans, cuphead and ig vault boy to just be represented one way or another. Geno, well, just read the whole message at the beginning. Pretty much how most of his fans are in a nutshell. I mean no disrespect.
I didn't play Ff7 i have no love for sephiroth except as scary video game man with big sword but I did play SM seven stars and geno is my spirit puppet Reeeeee
From a Spanish tweet Geno Fans in 2096 convinced that he'll finally be added to smash bros to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the release of the Mario Rpg
im honestly kind of glad that geno is a mii costume, not that I hate the character, but the stupidity of the geno fanbase, considering that 89% of people who want geno never even played legend of the seven stars
I like how when Geno was deconfirmed everyone was like "I may not have wanted this character, but I'm so sorry for anyone that did." But when Waluigi was deconfirmed everyone was like "haha get shit on memelords." The duality of the Smash community.
@@tsuki_hellbunny2475 I'm guessing this had to do with the fact that they "harassed and sent death threats to Sakurai". No. That did not happen. Literally all that happened was 2 edgy kids sent memes to him and got blocked on Twitter. That's it.
@@lincolnbeckett8791 Didn't give him a Deluxe makeover, Try pulling a mii outfit move on Dante and Sora like that and I guarantee you people will riot and burn down a nintendo building.
It _was_ the right way. Other classic characters of far greater significance (Bomberman, Heihachi, Tails, Knuckles, Goemon, etc) are only mii costumes.
Waluigi:so let me guess this straight your a Mario character Geno:yeah Waluigi:and you only appear in spin-offs and not official Mario games Geno:yeah Waluigi:you are highly requested to join smash to the point of becoming a meme Geno:yeah Waluigi:and you have a toxic fan base Geno:yeah Waluigi:you know something tells me we are going to get along just fine
The diffrence is that Waluigi is in multiple games while Geno is only in 1 (and has a minor cameo in another, but even if you count that Waluigi is still in far more games then him).
Waluigi and Geno are the biggest losers of Smash Ultimate from being wanted new Mario reps by the fans, but they were beaten by a beautiful orange dressed princess and a plant being playable characters.
people act like geno fans are frothing on the floor and seething in rage when personally i just wish his costume had a full head so we can at least *pretend* to be him
I get Sans and Cuphead were special, but seriously. They modelled nearly all of Geno, just do the damn head. More people would play Mii fighters and buy costumes if they stopped looking like Miis.
Sephiroth: I will bring despair to Smash. Falco: BRING IT ON- Sephiroth: * Pulls out a pear from his shirt and eats it * You can't destroy your opponents if you don't keep proper exercise and nutrition. Remember to maintain a healthy lifestyle and drink plenty of water.
@@milesedgeworth2431 ya, but if Fatal Frame can be in the game why can't Ace Attorney? Again a Spirit is all I'm asking for at this point because I just need some closure.
@@Panbow_ There will never be another smash game, Sakurai literally says ultimate is the final smash game he worked on. Sorry man, we all share the same pain.
At least he’s been acknowledged MANY times now! That’s awesome for a small character in a game Nintendo doesn’t even know how to release as well as many other games NORMALLY. I can’t believe Geno made it this far and I’m happy he even got in as a costume. No matter what, he always has a chance in future games!
I honestly want everyone to have this kind of mindset yeah I wanted geno but at least he has acknowledgement. I am slightly sad that he didn't get in and understand the geno fans but I'm at least happy that Sakurai is doing his best with ultimate and sephiroth is actually one of my new mains (along with cloud, he's great to use i just hate his up smash lol, its the same with sephiroth except its his down smash that I hate) and im so happy that FF7 got its representation because honestly it sucked that we only had one stage, two songs, and no spirits at the time but now we got almost everything and even new remixes which I'm all for! I hate that there are people that are being so toxic at the geno fans and going "hahaha" "cope" and "lol" simply because funny. They aren't any better than the toxic geno fans, I wish we could all just be nice but thats not how the internet or Shitter works I guess, people just have to be toxic for the sake of being toxic :/
You: Geno will never be in smash *cries in oversimplified* Me: Captain Falcon is the only character form the original roster with no further representation from his respective franchise. Not even an echo fighter.
@@Vectivus. black shadow, blood Falcon, samurai Goroh. I mean these three are probably the more well known ones. Edit: for the record, I haven’t watched the show, and I’ve only ever made it to the second level of the GX game.
@@Vectivus. I found it for cheap at a local play and trade but it’s shut down. I thought it was pretty fun. It needs a new coat of paint but it’s pretty fun. Been a while since I’ve played though. Currently working through MGSV
Now subsiquently, the last three members of the second Fighters Pass, no matter who they are, are gonna be met with thousands of people saying "WE LOST GENO FOR THIS?!"
At least we don't have to worry about every other theory/leak claiming its gonna be geno Given this has been happening for actual years (since before ultimate even released) it's the one positive I have coming out of this.
@@wolfdragox5563 Too be fair, that Mario game started one of the more beloved spin off franchises for Mario. The RPG's. Without Mario RPG we wouldn't have Paper Mario or Mario and Luigi.
@@AlonzoTompkins well even if we were speaking about the game itself (we are not) Mario is there, and other characters that appear there too so, I think that game has enough rep 🤔
@@KizilXD I mean I don't hate Sakurai, I couldn't. He gave us Minecraft Steve in smash. But you got to admit that putting a freaking Piranha Plant in smash over Waluigi was kind of a dick move.
Doesn't matter, if Pepe Flores IS mad, it's kinda justified. They put in a fucking PIRAHNA PLANT for christ sake. Like, if Sakurai doesn't want him in, cool. At LEAST choose a character more deserving for the spot instead of some absolute joke.
"Geno was a character so popular and so cool, he could influence gamers to create... memes. At one point he became so popular that the only thing he was afraid of was not being added in Smash, which, eventually, of course, he didn't. Unfortunately, he gave his fans all the hope that was, then Sakurai rejected him in his sleep. Ironic, he could give his fans hope, but not himself."
I don't understand why people want Geno so bad he was only in one game and it isn't as popular as something like FF7 maybe in Melee or Brawl, he would have had a chance, but now, he's not gonna get it. at least he is a mii costume. All Starfy is is an assist trophy which has been copied and pasted since Brawl And Nintendo Characters like Rusty Slugger have had no representation in Smash Bros. The fact that Geno is a mii costume is honestly a big enough achievement in of itself
1. He was a bit higher in the "If there was a Smash 2" polls. 2. He was considered in both Brawl and Smash 4 but didn't made it due to licensing. 3. Sakurai wanted Geno but ended up making him a Mii Costume. 4. Fans felt petty for Sakurai that they wanted to make the puppet boy an actual fighter? 5. Older players have played Mario RPG and Geno was like a major character in the story.
I think the point is he is obscure because he was only in one game, then..... why not make him appear in more games? He would totally fit in Mario Kart and Party. So that it's pointless to assume that he only needs to appear in one game?
But the K Rool costume is from Smash 4, and K Rool was revealed before we knew the costume was returning, it hasn't ever happened otherwise, but it'd still be neat if they broke that rule too
As much as I love Geno. I would absolutely adore Mallow as a Smash fighter. I don't think a single character has had more of a compelling story arc in any of the Mario RPG games than he did.
@@Dabajaws the geno's fans are divided into two groups: 1) the nostalgic nerds way too desperate to recapture a part of their lost childhood 2) the people who never played SMRPG and who are just bandwagoning the wishlist
@@Dabajaws Yeah, Since I haven’t played mario rpg I just never really wanted him in smash. If he did get in smash tho, it would feel like Sephiroth is smash. I dont care that much about him or his game but Sephiroth is still pretty sick.
Me neither. I played Mario RPG a lot, but he never got my attention. I used him only 'til rescue Peach, then I replace Geno with her and my team is complete. By the way, my four favourite characters are in the game, two as playable and two as assist trophies (Link, Peach, Zero and Alucard) and I'm very satisfied with that, no complaints. Thanks a lot, Nintendo. Never thought I'd see these four in the same game.
I've played Super Mario RPG and I never really wanted him in Smash all that much. If he got in great but would not be my most hyped character. My favorite Mario RPG is Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Hey, it could’ve been worse. At least Conker and Master Chief aren’t Mii costumes. Geno coming as a Mii Gunner was just unfortunately expected since that’s what they already did with him for Smash 4. There’s no reason to not exclude that when Square could still hold us out with more characters like Chrono, or even Sora if they have to. (Though I’d imagine the latter would be a Mii Swordfighter as well since having him as a new fighter would be difficult since he’s directly tied to Disney and its characters)
Min Min was a spirit and K rool was a mii costume in smash 4, just because geno was a mii costume in 4 not mean he automatically need to be in ultimate even if that is what we got
@@nemurenuyorumoonlight8778 yes I saw the kazuya presentation and boi the mii outfit wave was a brutal kill for many hopes and dreams. Just recently doom slayer got massacred into mii outfit.
Geno: Please Sakurai don’t turn me into a Mii Gunner Costume Sakurai: Too late Geno! Because I added Sephiroth to smash as a DLC and you are turning into a MII Costume from now on :( Geno: WHAT?! NOOOOOOOO! THIS CAN’T BE?!
@@antoniomontana2034 Byleth maybe Steve absoltely no. He's the best selling game of all time, even beating tetris, becoming an icon on the gaming communnity. Absolutely deserves it
@@antoniomontana2034 atleast Geno is "in" the game so be thankful that Sakuria put all his time and effort to put all those amazing characters in one big game that he made with his own sweat and blood
that could be the reason the costume was released now, he could be the next character, who ever came up with these stupid "deconfirming rules" is stupid
We've had plenty of fighters appear as Mii fighter costumes. (like Captain Falcon, Link, Luigi, Mario, Peach's crown, and so on.) Daisy and Chrom were mii fighter costume parts in Smash 4 before they were added in Smash 5. so don't count Geno out just yet. It's less likely now, but we've had plenty of "What, they put ___ into Smash?"
@@angry998 Square is still the owner of FF though... so they do have some fault, if the collaboration took years to bring a decent amount of FF content in smash...
@@angry998 This is true... I would love for them to allow for Zack Fair to be used as Cloud's echo fighter, should Sakurai decide to make a Echo fighter pass...
Geno: I am Inevitable Sephiroth: *Grab with his long katana against to smash mail* Also Sephiroth: and I am Sephiroth and Also Sephiroth: *fly away* Geno: *just disappear to becoming a Mii fighter as an Mii Gunner*
You know, at this point it is self-flagellation. They hype themselves up, dig through every interview and video for some kind of clue, then get massive salty when Geno aint chosen. Sometimes the anger is so extreme that they cant see what a good job the team did on the character that was chosen. I wonder if they will ever realize that there are more people who dont care about Geno than there are that do. Look, its only a matter of time until super requested characters like Waluigi and Geno are added. But maybe its not now and maybe that is okay.
I didn't see too many Geno fans that were sad about Sephiroth. At least not in Smashboards, aside from one guy that was very salty but he got called out by the people in the thread. Even I don't care about Final Fantasy and still think Sephiroth was a great addition, but I'm also really disapointed that Geno isn't even a deluxe mii costume with a song, and there's no problem with that. Just because I'm sad Geno isn't in it doesn't mean I think he's a better choice than Sephiroth, it's just the one I'd have personally like the most.
If you have the assets to do something the right way first time, then you do it, if not then they shouldn't even bother at all. Nintendo just hates their playerbase, I'm waiting for the day everyone wakes up and boycotts them so they can go bankrupt, or come crawling back to the people putting food on their table.
Like, there's no reason to not want him in. There's no reason to not want ANY character in smash, no matter how absurd it sounds. The problem is that people just take it to the extremes and make asses out of themselves.
I think the most hilarious thing sakurai could do is next update add him with no direct or anything. He just appears on the roster and then a day later he makes a thirty second direct telling people to never ask him for anything ever again
Y'know, they might stop doing that if we DON'T buy the costume. Edit: actually, what if what if we DO buy the absolute shit out of Geno? It makes more sense!
What would his moveset have even been? "For his B attack, Geno uses a gun" "For side-B, Geno uses his gun" "Up-B, gun" "Geno's Down-B attack brings up a shield to reflect projectiles before countering with his gun"
Hey I'm sad that he didnt get in but I'm still content with what we got. Sephiroth is fucking amazing and its great that FF7 got its representation! :)
While it sucks that a fan-wanted character wasn't added, at the same time after attending classes with multiple Geno fans who brought him up nearly every time the game was mentioned since 3ds/Wii U and shut down any other of our wanted characters, a little piece of my soul enjoys it.
@@theamazinghippopotomonstro9942 They don’t exist beyond an airforce using them in bombing runs and a transphobic caricature. I’m also surprised no one caught onto the Haedox reference yet.
@@theamazinghippopotomonstro9942 the choppers aren’t the ones *doing* the bomb ing, but they’re used pretty often for more tactical purposes I believe.
i hope we all remember that everyone who wanted geno and is disappointed that he isn't in the game... just wanted to have a character they like appear in a video game. it's not something people should lose their minds grieving over, but it's also not something we should rub in peoples' faces.
I had already given up all hope of seeing him as a playable character, so I was genuinely excited that he even got a mii costume. Lower your expectations, kids.
