I thought people actually wanted a gimmick like that? Timed hits would be a neat gimmick for any Mario RPG fighter, since that's a constant between SMRPG, Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi.
At the very least Geno Whirl will have a timed hit feature.

At the very least Geno Whirl will have a timed hit feature.
What I'm hoping to see is:
Geno Beam (Neutral B) and Geno Blast (Down B) hold Geno in position while he charges the move. Releasing it at 3 stars makes the move do more damage and cover a wider radius.
Geno Whirl (Side B). Does more damage/knockback if B is hit as it connects.
And for an Up-B I hope they lean into Geno being a toy with a functionally similar move to Bowser Jr's, where his head pops off his body and has to land back on stage.
It wouldn't be a very Brawl concept, though, is what I'm saying. Some people complain about the proliferation of character-specific meters and control mechanics (ex: Street Fighter inputs) in Smash 4 and Ultimate, and Geno could just as easily be that sort of character.
As long as the gimmick isn't intrusive and overbearing I think it's fine.
Wonderwing is cool, Hero's menu and Joker's Rebellion Gauge are not.
I've always envisioned a SSB moveset for Geno as:
Neutral B: Geno Beam
Side B: Geno Whirl
Down B: Geno Boost
Up B: Geno Flash
Final Smash: Geno Blast
For Geno Flash I envision him shooting himself out as a star and then teleporting the doll body back to him. Kind of a stretch but he doesn't really have any other moves more suitable for recovery.
Also Geno Blast would be the final smash because it's objectively his coolest move animation

Geno Flash turns him into a cannon that shoots out an angry sun though.
This sounds more like you prefer the mechanics attached to characters you like.
There's still that old Geno Project M mod
It was included in Smash Bros. Legacy XP. I remember it being neat, he actually had a cool timing based mechanic to his moveset.

I know, that's why I said it was a stretch to change it so much. I feel they'd either have to get creative with an existing move like that or just make something totally new to give him a recovery move.
There's a PM Geno mod that plays exactly like that and it's pretty amazing. I'd love to see Sakurai's take on the idea
Oh, it's this one!
This is actually pretty cool. His up B is basically what I was rambling about a few posts ago lol.
My idea is that he could use the recoil from the canon shot to launch himself. You could aim it in any direction.
Yeah, it is part of XP. It's a pretty neat moveset mod, but i'm sure Sakurai's interpretation won't be the same.
LegacyXP has the best rendition of Ganondorf ever seen in a Smash game in Mage Ganondorf, complete with Ganondorf tennis, teleporting shenanigans and huge pillars of light
Everyone should try it. It's a pretty cool mod.
To this day, it's still pretty crazy to me that every single character in this mod, outside of Waluigi, Shadow, Metal Sonic and Geno, are playable in Ultimate

Paper Mario alt for Peach is so good lol. I wish official games had comparable alternate costumes.
I was going to joke about how we already knew Geno's tagline but I forgot that despite getting a splash screen he didn't get a fun pun or anything
missed opportunity
We all know Geno's splash screen is going to be
GENO
Shoots for the Stars!
So when Jill gets in later hers can be
JILL
Shoots for the S.T.A.R.S.!
wait

That is his tagline. It's the one Geno deserves.
Even as a proper fighter, this will still be his tag line.I was going to joke about how we already knew Geno's tagline but I forgot that despite getting a splash screen he didn't get a fun pun or anything

I have mixed feelings about Arsene but Hero's menu stuff is cool as shit
Reverse for me. Joker's gauge encourages a particular style of play, which I totally understand not being everyone's cup of tea. Hero's menu, I have some reservations about. While absolutely cool as shit, it requires the act of constantly looking at the bottom of the screen and processing four potential moves, which I'm not good enough at Smash to do while not getting myself killed.
I guess it helps that some of those spells are Bounce and Magic Burst, but y'know.
I'm glad how nobody is using Sakurai's wank arse Eleven and Arusu.
He's the most likely 2nd FF rep and people telling themselves otherwise are deluding themselves.How would you feel if Square got a third character but it was Sephiroth?
I don't think there is anything wrong with the Rebellion Gauge concept-wise (Joker's playstyle feels built around it). Command Menu is more debatable; it's fun for casual matches and a grab-bag of usefulness for competitive, but overall i'm fine with it.
Did Sakurai miss something in Emblem of Loto or what? The hero in that manga is named Arus, but he's a descendant of Erdrick rather than Erdrick themself.
He also said Solo is 17 even though both he and Sofia are 18.
I think sephiroth making it in would probably bring out a reaction rivalling that of cloud tbh. Isn't he like the JRPG villain?
I thought Arusu was his name in the Dragon Quest III audio drama or something?
Easier to do him or Tifa as Cloud is licensed as a FF7 character.
For whatever's worth, the protagonist from VII is called 少年アルス (Young boy Arusu) in spin-offs.
Why are they listing Waluigi as a Wario Ware character?
To this day, it's still pretty crazy to me that every single character in this mod, outside of Waluigi, Shadow, Metal Sonic and Geno, are playable in Ultimate
Him exploding likely isn't meant to be taken that literally. Just a defeated enemy disappearing because having their body stick around as a pile on the floor is too much work. Mother Brain and Kraid also survived "blowing up".
Sakamoto's explanation for Ridley coming back after being defeated is that if enough of him is still alive he can devour biological material to recover his body. The first time he was blown up was when Samus' father blew up Ridley's mothership and dropped it on him. Ridley ate the corpses of Samus' family and the colonists to reform his body.
Ridley's probably the most outright evil Nintendo villain. This scene is so cold-blooded.
Prime is a bit at odds with the main games since it treats the Space Pirates as an organization where Ridley isn't at the top and is instead treated as a bio-weapon, but the logs say:
"The reconstruction of geoform 187, code-named Ridley, was recently completed. After his defeat on Zebes, Command ordered a number of metagenetic improvements for him. Though aggressive, we were able to implement these changes in a cycle. The metamorphosis was painful, but quite successful in the end. Early tests indicate a drastic increase in strength, mobility, and offensive capability. Cybernetic modules and armour plating have been added as well. We believe our creation, now called Meta Ridley, will become the mainstay of our security force, a job he will certainly relish."
Geoform 187? Ridley is a codename? Command? A job on the security force? This is all so at odds with how the Space Pirates and Ridley operate in the main games. Ridley is their leader, not some low-rank beast they keep around. I love Prime but its lore is such a mess.
Dry Bowser would be cool, but he needs his signature move:
He was basically created to differentiate between Bowser who just breathes fireballs and Bowser who also throws hammers (replacing the hammers with bones). Could borrow it from Simon's axe throwing. Plus they made him immune to fireballs.
Throwing his head would also be a cool move. It could act as a mine/remote bomb.
I did some searching and found it in Dragon Quest III's SFC opening.
What an oddly common name in the series. Or it's another part of Erdrick's legacy.

This really makes it obvious how Sakurai messed up with Bowser back in Melee. Dude should have had hammers instead of that dumb claw and bite.Dry Bowser would be cool, but he needs his signature move:

It's also a travesty that Donkey Kong has never been able to use any barrels.
