Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS Discussion

From what I could gather, a lot of people were just happy that Geno's existence was acknowledged.

Awww that's no fun.

If something like this had happened during the Brawl days, there would be much more salt. The Geno fanbase has died down a lot.

I never understood why he had such a loyal following. He's one off partner from a Mario RPG. He's the equivalent of Goombella or Tippi. He's not that deserving of a spot in Smash.

idk man i got into supporting geno back then as well, and the main reason was basically that it appeared as if he was intended to be in the game and cut (remains of a "geno's woods" music being in the game's files etc.).

But basically after a while it just became a "we need a mario rpg rep" thing and out of those the most viable choices were still geno and paper mario (everyone else from paper mario would make no sense because if theres a rep from that its gotta be paper mario himself), and maybe fawful for the m&l series.

then it just turned into "please anyone acknowledge that this game/character exists".

and then it became a running gag.
