I was thinking today that I would really like it if Geno Whirl was simply a projectile version of Jigglypuff's rest, whereby you throw it out and there is a very specific moment in which the hurtbox from the Whirl overlaps with the character's hitbox and if you press B precisely at that moment...

I'm still predicting Capcom and Namco reps for the final two characters and Geno as a bonus individual DLC (which feels like I wrote that hundreds of pages ago with how fast this thread moves now). I haven't really been sold on any arguments for other characters in the last few months. So...

I think in the booklet for DKC2 he may be referred to as King K. Rool's brother, but I'm not quite sure about that to be honest. Edit: Nvmd. That brother comment was apparently in the trophy description for K. Rool in Brawl. Not sure if that's cannon or not though.. Seems very confusing when...

My personal favorite picks would be: 1. Dixie (Diddy) 2. Proto Man (Mega Man) 3. Boshi (Yoshi) 4. Black Shadow (Captain Falcon) 5. Leon Kennedy (Jill Valentine - assuming we one day get her as playable)

I haven't finished catching up, but this 100% my opinion given revent events. If we're to take it as being a direct reference to an actual European starling, then perhaps it's Pokemon and we'll just need to wait for more info to drop to test that. However, like you said, if we don't get an...

... and Sassy Geno!

I'm typically quite the optimist, but I'm not getting strong "Smash announcement" vibes for EVO. If we do, then I'm sticking to my earlier predictions (Namco and Capcom characters for last two, Geno as individual DLC) and guess Heihachi given the venue and Tekken's popularity (although I've...

If there were a sequel to SMRPG with more Geno character development, then I would like to see him struggle with morally grey areas in which there isn't a real clear cut and "right" solution to the problem. I also see Geno as being a "lawful good" type and rather wise, so it would provide him an...

Describing Geno as a cross between a mage, a Gundam in a wooden doll, and a Swiss Army Knife is probably one of the most accurate things I have ever read about Geno haha

This definitely seems like a minority opinion, and I've stated this previously in the thread, but I don't take Geno's Mii Costume as a hard deconfirm. Does the Mii Costume seemingly hurt Geno's chances? Probably, yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if we just ended up with the Geno costume. Should...

That's unfortunate and I am sorry to hear that. When I read your post it kind of made me a little glad that I'm not really familiar with these things. I've put in years of my life into smash since '99 til today playing Ultimate, but only competitively for like one year of Melee and then almost...

I didn't ever experience this at tournements, but then again I was with friends and we were to ourselves mostly. To be fair, the rage quits and pettiness was probably there in full force, we just weren't around it or avoided people who were known to act like that. We felt like aliens visiting...

I definitely agree that's a contributing factor as well. Great point!

Not to take a reductionist view, but I feel like age is a primary factor in explaining the bridges that divide the community and that fan certain flames during character speculation. As an outsider looking in, when I read about large sub-groups of players that are adamantly against K. Rool...

Now that you mentioned it, I genuinely hated that about tournaments. We had to regularly go outside for the 500+ player tournaments. I thought that was more or less a young male problem (although why anyone would have poor personal hygiene in general baffles me) that would be typical of any...
