The final nail in the coffin

Why's Geno so popular anyway. He looks really weird.

wizzle yeah a pantsless marionette with retarded hair

He's popular to all the people who are fans of animes and Final Fantasy and all that boring crap. They consider him to be "badass".

[Deleted]

Yeah. Imitation of a Geno fanboy: "OMG Geno's soo freakin' gangsta! GENO 4 BRAWLLL!"

Imitation of Sakurai in the Geno update (if it ever happens):
"Well, umm, here ya go. He's from SMRPG.

What the hell, I hate him. I won't even bother with pics."

Really, having a Star Bit playable is more likely

I don't want Geno showing his wooden mug anywhere in this game without an equal appearance from Mallow, so screw him.

[Smashchu]

Whoa, what's with all the Geno hate. First Krystal, now Geno. Just take the characters are they come guys. If loads of people hated the, would they be in this game? There is a large fanbase for these characters so understand they get just as much right to be there was Wario or Pit.

It's a shame. Megaman would have worked.

I'm not even a fan of his games, I never beat any of them and only played a few of the NES titles... but even I can tell you he would have WORKED in Brawl. The moves, the style, the background.... Megaman would have added even more gaming history to the series, and when thinking of Videogame LEGENDS... Megaman is usually towards the top of the list.

So it's a shame he didn't get invited.

Geno has fans, but he's not a LEGEND. One damn game. He's not a gaming icon. He'd fit in the game fine, but I dont' think he should even be considered a 3rd party character. I mean, he's from a Mario game, weather it was made by Nintendo or not... he's still a Mario character. His icon would be the mushroom.
I won't be upset if Geno got in, I think that would be cool... but I think it would be a shame to call him a 3rd party character.... even if he technically is.

Well, I agree that Super Mario RPG got a great cast and such, but I agree with 8bitretroboney! Geno looks reeeeaaaaly weeeird. (No pants....) So I'm saying it again (thus irritating everyone again) Demille is more likely... but cheer up, maiby Megaman can still make it...

It seems that, in regards to Geno, most of you are only hearing the loudest and most obnoxious Geno fanboys and rolling with that. I mean, that's okay, especially if you're against Geno being playable in the first place, and fanboys are a pretty rational reason to not get into something as they ruin the experience for the rest of us. I dunno if a non-fanboy perspective would put you a little more at ease or what, but I might as well try anyway.

The reason I want Geno in above all others is because he's a puppet. Yeah, that's right--it's got nothing to do with him being a badass, although he does fit that stereotype and I won't argue against it. Geno's a puppet, and he can Shoop Da Woop with his wrists; interesting design, pants or no pants, and several gun-related powers that could be translated into Brawl without being "ZOMG REAL GUNZ." That's pretty much all there is to it.

Also, Retro and Ryuk: Kirby doesn't wear pants. Neither does Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong, or Sonic for that matter. And Snake has already expressed interest in taking off his pants while talking about Zero Suit Samus. I guess that just makes them too weird-looking to be included, huh?

Who wouldn't want to take off his pants if he actually met Zero Suit Samus?

I'd still like to see Pac-Man. Nothing unpurist there when he appeared before Mario himself.

I was getting hyped for Mega Man and his 20th anniversary. He could have worked.

Geno doesn't fit in well. I wouldn't put him in, unless it's for promotional reasons (the sequel of Super Mario RPG or its Virtual Consle port)... But from what I've seen these months, I can already imagine people agreeing only when he's shown as an Assist Trophy, as if the director's decisions were what rules the importance of video game characters.

I'm not against Geno because he has no pants mr. fabulous. I understand the guy has his share of crazy fans that want him in, but he's just another party member from an old Mario game. He ain't no main character, antagonist or close side-kick from the Mario universe and hasn't been used in another game ever since. I know it's partly because of Square, but really, having him in would be like having Paper Mario's Vivian playable. Or Pauline. Or Waluigi if he wasn't an AT already.

In their defense, their not a humanoid without pants.

Oy, vey, you guys. XD Let's aim the "No Pants Cannon" somewhere else, if you're all gonna be snotty about it.

[rukifellth]

Well I gotta say that I like puppet characters too, like Shyna Nera Shyna from Silhouette Mirage... well... she's a puppet in a way... and I like balanced gun attacks too... and yes, DK, Diddy, Kirby, Meta Knight etc etc. lacks pants... but... there's something that does'nt compell me to like him... I don't know what...

Big lawl

Anyways, I just think Mallow would fit better. He's unique in that he's stretchy...I just think that'd work better...
