Why is he so popular

What makes him special?

Smash autism, which is a shame because SMRPG is a good game and now it’s impossible to discuss.

Because Sakurai said he wanted him because he had a gun for an arm and had a fanbase at the time. Then full on Genofags got made afterwards and have hibernated on many sites like Zig Forums and it has gotten worse since the leadup to Ultimate and Fighters Pass

Nothing. Sakurai opened his bitch mouth and autism did the rest

design. That's it. He's a knock off of a character from Godzilla and has zero personality. Love Mario RPG, but he ain't the best character in it.

He's a stock hero character so stupid kids that only played Mario games decided to worship him.

> He's a knock off of a character from Godzilla

I'm sorry what?

i want to know too

>one of the two OC designs for the party, and the one who wasn't an obese-looking motherfucker who needed a slap
>a parody of heroic godlike characters five-year-olds make with their toys
>a good speedy character with two OP moves (Whirl and Boost)
>kinda cute/cool

holy shit look at the image you retards

kids got attached to him because out of a cast containing Mario, Bowser, Mallow, and Peach, he was the only party member who wasn't goofy or girly and was "cool" enough for their sensibilities.

when you get exposed to something like that during that window of your development you just get attached for the rest of your life. It's like shadow the hedgehog or some shit.

GENO

GENO IS SO COOL LOOKING! HE'S A SPOOKY PUPPET MAN JUST LIKE CHUCKY AND GOOSBUMPS AND TOY STORY 4!

GENO

HE'S GOT A COOL GUN ARM THAT WILL BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN SAMUS, DARK SAMUS, MEGA MAN, AND MII GUNNER! AND HIS FINAL SMASH CAN BE A STARSTORM THAT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN NESS AND LUCAS'!

GENO

HE'S THE MOST IMPORTANT NON-MARIO SERIES CHARACTER IN HIS MARIO SPINOFF GAME! THAT MEANS HE DESERVES A SLOT MORE THAN ANY ACTUAL MAIN CHARACTER FROM ANY VIDEO GAME SERIES ON ANY SYSTEM EVER!

GENO

GEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO

We were talking about Geno, you brain dead retard.

Baller Pinocchio with a gun arm and cape
If he gets in, cool. If not, whatever. Someone will make a mod again

5% genuine nostalgia for an obscure character.
95% sheep following a meme that’s been pushed for over a decade

>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOP ENJOYING THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG IS THAT GENNNNNNNNO THE PUPPEET?

What can they advertise with his inclusion? Nothing, he'd be a waste of billboard space, tranny.

You're not enjoying anything. It's not like you've been constantly replaying SMRPG and nothing else for 25 years. He's never in Smash, so you can't be enjoying that. All you do is shitpost and bitch.

>makes commentary about Genofaggotry that doesn't work
>makes joke that isn't funny
Don't quit your day job for stand-up.

Ridley made it in and he was in a distant 2nd in terms of out there choices

>Mario RPG is a well liked game
>Back when it came out it did a hell of a lot for the Mario universe and that's why it stuck with people who played it back then
>Sakurai himself commented on the frequent requests Geno receives when talking about older characters
>He has a good gimmick that hasn't been filled by other characters
(Someone will shitpost about Mega Man, but that's like saying that Link fills the void for Marth)

In terms of the game itself and not smash?
>He's a cool star spirit that possessed a doll and the character who really gets the ball rolling on the main plot of the game
Personally I prefer Mallow, but I won't deny that I thought Geno was cool when I was a kid. Geno getting into smash would make me pretty happy considering SMRPG is my favorite childhood game.

it's the last holdout of rosterfaggotry

I like actual characters introduced in mario games and he’s the best representative of identity of mario outside of the mainline bullshit thats plaguing shit like sticker star

Woosh.

He's using the same arguments that anti-Genofags use, but with Bowser instead.

Also, I'm totally fine with Geno and I'm happy for fans if they get him, but what's really getting obnoxious is the amount of people here who are clearly scared he has a decent chance of getting in over Meme-uigi. Rulefags and zoomers have been BTFO'd what, three times now? And I guarantee you they'll still be salty after Geno's reveal.

>"Hurr durr, he's bad to play anyway"

Because he's from a time when nintendo actually made good games.

He's the fastest party member and he has the best attacks.

Squaresoft made the game though.

BestGuyEver, put me in the celebration video :^)

Smash E-celebs pushed him. The rest of the community parrot what the e celebs say. Vast majority of people touting him haven’t played his game.

not directly related but why are all competitive smash player ugly, smelly, disgusting pedophiles?

There's nothing per se that makes him special. As stated a trillion times, sakurai mentioned back in the brawl days that he was interested in Geno, and a smrpg track was hidden in brawl's code. So for rosterfags/ zoomers, he's the one that got away, for boomers, he'd be a neat smrpg rep, because for those who did play it, the consensus is that it was really fun.

yes

He insists upon itself.

Because all competitive Smash players are ugly, smelly, disgusting dog-fuckers, butt-fuckers, and pillow-fuckers, so why wouldn't they be ALL forms of degenerate?
