Why is Geno so fucking popular when there are much better characters than himself in the game?

>> No.2808179

To be honest I have no idea, he's supposed to be overpowered vejita/sasuke type but the game is easy as ball already as it is.

Are you seriously asking why a party member is more popular than an one-off boss?

And nobody fucking used Mallow ever. That leaves Geno and series mainstays. It's a no brainer why he's so popular, especially with that mysterious edgelord personality.

I can never tell what's going on with this guy's head. What's that yellow thing inside his mouth? I always mistook that for the eye. But the real eye (I guess) is that plain MS Paint grey circle next to the fin. It doesn't even look like an eye, but what else could it be.

My wife and I looked at the model posted in the OP. Maybe it's it's a miscoloration of the tongue? Or maybe he has a golden tongue because if his teeth were gold they'd just fall out, on account of him being a shark.

I wonder the same thing. I guess you could think that it is a helmet and the yellow is an eye, but the rest of his body is clearly sharklike, and his lackeys also look like sharks and not other creatures in shark outfits.

Except SMRPG is her game, and we never saw that sprite(or is it an actual 3d model?) at that scale so it was nice to have a discussion to carry the banter of this thread as well as to have more insight to one of our shared favorite games.

The yellow's not an eye, that's just an optical illusion. You can see the teeth in front, and the shadow or silhouette the one tooth is causing is making the slit in the "eye".

Was it worth it to beat Jynx besides the bragging rights?

>>2808729
I found it after years, having looked at a guide to finding it (about 4 years back. Last time I played the game though was last year), she claims to have found it when she was 9 years old because she loved the game and was bored and just jumped on every tile in the game to find shit. I'm prone to believe her here because she knew the vast majority of A Link to the Pasts sequence breaks to be able to get into the Dark World with the mirror from a new game in 2 hours, and she doesn't believe in using guides.

I asked her how she did it and she just told me to get good.

>> No.2808798

>>2808779
Not him, but as I look at it and think about the fact that he's a pirate, I'm pretty sure that is meant to be a gold coin. You know, like how a stereotypical pirate bites gold to test its authenticity?

Now, as for why it is entirely in his mouth, I have no idea. I really can't think of any other explanation for that gold beyond it being a coin.

People latch on to Geno without really remembering how he looked. The SNES's small resolution masked his ugly as fuck appearance.

Look at the official art work, though. Dude looks fucking ugly as hell.

The developers know it. Geno is literally the worst character in the game, design wise.

I'd rather have the Axem Rangers in smash. Bowyer. Hell, I'd rather play as that Nack the Weasel knock off from the beginning of the game. Some aligator.
