BUT WHY GENO? A History of Smash Bros Predictions
Показать описание
With just a few spots remaining in the Fighters Pass 2 closing out the DLC of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Geno fans are as vocal as ever in voicing their support... but why DO so many people want a one-time character from a Mario spin-off to join Smash Bros? What does this puppet with no game appearances in 25 years have that makes him so important next to the other major fan requests like Crash, Sora and Waluigi? In this retrospective, I take a look at who Geno is, why he became popular, and when he started to be proposed as a candidate for Smash that would start to top the DLC popularity polls. This case runs a lot deeper than people being nostalgic for Super Mario RPG - there's actually a pretty unique reason dating all the way back to Brawl that wouldn't be obvious to players who started with Smash 4 and Ultimate!
Do you want Geno in Smash Ultimate, or do you think he doesn't deserve one of the four remaining places? I may be a Geno fan, but it's totally understandable why people just wouldn't get the appeal. All I want to do with this video is tell the story of how the trend started, something I've not been able to find in any of the other Geno videos on YouTube. Let me know what you think in the comments!
Update: Well RIP, Sephiroth brought a pretty quick end to Geno's chances and the Mii Gunner costume has returned. But that's not too bad, Sephiroth is a marvellous addition to the game and I will absolutely take the Mii costume over no Geno at all. A deluxe costume with a Forest Maze track would've been ideal, but I can now play Geno in some form and this video still works as evidence of why the demand was there to begin with!
