Honest thoughts on square’s Mario OCs?
>>12236275they kinda suck bro where's all the babes?
I would not fuck either of them.
Mallow a baller, he makes it rain
>>12236275i liked mallow's character arc. geno is cool but he doesn't really do anything other than give you the reason for your quest. still use em both in the final battle because it's credity.>>12236284right here
>>12236275I still have no clue what the fuck the deal with Geno's face is. Those ribbons confuse me.
>>12236275Geno doesn’t have a personality.
>>12236275It took me many many years to finally see Geno's model and sprite correctly. I never noticed the lines that are supposed to be his mouth, so I always saw his nose as a pouty lower lip, which made me see the curled paper hair above it as a nose.
Mallow and Geno are so overrated. But the game is still good.
>>12236315Here, I outlined his mouth in red and his nose in green (half of it is covered by a shadow from the ribbons/paper above it). The orange curly ribbons/paper are supposed to represent tufts of hair sticking out from under his cap. Remember, he's an enlarged puppet.
>>12236346No one gives a fuck about Mallow
>>12236275>mario = main guy>peach = healer>geno = magic damage dealer>bowser = physical damage dealer>mallow = that one character every rpg has who no one wastes a slot on
>>12236302oh come on, that was a bar and you know itor maybe you don't, we are doomed as a species, after all
>>12236379>bowser = physical damage dealerDid you even play the game? Or paid any attention to the stats perhaps?Bowser is one of the weakest characters in the game. He's weaker than Mario, Geno, and even weaker than Peach once everyone has their optimal gear. In fact Bowser is only so slightly stronger than Mallow, who could be built to be stronger than Bowser if you invest in physical bonuses instead of magic since the early levels.Bowser's main stat is being a tank, his high HP and generally good defense (isn't the best in the game either) usually keep him alive for longer.
>>12236315Orange thing: big dorky nose. Just look at the sprites.
Geno is COOL.But I hate they didn't give him more dialogue in the remake.
>>12236275mallow is a faggot bitch as a character, but his story was a cool set of plot points.geno is cool as fuck and actually worth using in your team.>>12236468its been a while since i played, but mallow sucks and bowser definitely does better physical damage while ALSO being tankier. also bowser being physical means you dont have to waste fp (unless you know a boss is actually weak to a status effect), you can use it for geno's damage or peach's healing. its been a while since i played, but i recall bowser always having the second highest basic attack damage (because lazy shell on mario is busted), even if its not much. mallow is a bitch and peach gets the lazy shell armor so you cant ever lose a boss fight. i swear his attack was better than geno's. even if geno has a better attack, the party is still mario/bowser/geno for general battle, and mario/peach/geno for bosses. mallow is a cuck bitch and bowser brawls.
>>12236275I like both of them well enough
Malllow was the better one of the two. Don't know why Geno became more popular.
>>12236310Why does she sit on a banana?
For the longest time I thought the little devil guy part of Mack was just the pogo dagger's bandana.
>>12236380super mari-yo ho ar pee gee, it is the only one just for me
>>12236368Mallow is an excellent character from a design and personality perspective. He just sucks as a party member. The remake actually fixed this by making party members swappable mid-battle, so his magic is a lot more useful
>>12237175Story wise he is good but design wise he is terrible
>>12236347>Geno has a noseholy shit I've been reading his sprite wrong since 1997I knew he was a puppet with like a nutcracker mouth but I always thought he just had a huge lip and no noseNow someone please explain to me why Smithy's wizard form has a dick and balls
>>12237371>A naive young prince who believes he's a frog but is actually a cloud, and who can attack with weather effects, and whose emotions seem to control weather itself>...is a bad character designYour opinion is stinky poo butt
>>12237471>can't understand the difference between concept and designHe still looks gay and lame, there is a reason people flock to no personality Geno and ignore the cloud with actual backstory
>>12236832mallow's offensive magic is pretty solid actually, thunderbolt can carry you through areas with lots of weaker enemies and his gigashock/blizzard attacks are situationally very useful on bosses (notably yaridovich/smilax respectively).
>>12236275Why the fuck did Square retain the rights? They can't do diddydick with them.
>>12238101Because japanese companies can be petty fucks like that.
>>12238263>japanese companiesThat's how the whole world works anon.Take the Sonic comics team as example. They not only have the rights to their original characters, but they're also trying to sue Sega all the time for characters that're remotely similar to any of their OCs. Even though their OCs include things like Sonic but green or Sonic but pink.
>>12238101literally this
>>12236325He is cool though
>>12238101So that Nintendo would have to pay to put a Geno cameo in Superstar Saga years later then do fuck-all with them again.
>>12240969>pay to put a Geno cameolelGeno is no Cloud or 2B.No one is going to buy the game just because there's a Geno cameo, he's barely worth a dime.
>>12241127Square still wants their money
>>12237175also the remake shows when enemies are weak against certain elements which also really helped Mallow.
>>12239347There is no “he”. There’s nothing. There’s nothing there to be cool.
>>12241238nonsense, even if he doesn't really have any backstory or clear explanation of what he actually *is* you can be into his character design or the small bits of dialogue that he does have, and you could even be into how mysterious he is. i kinda like that it's not explained what he really is, i know it's probably just an oversight but i'd like to think that he comes from another dimension that is just impossible to contextualize or explain so he doesn't, like when he speaks in tongues to mario
>>12242385>>12241238He is just a star like the one in paper Mario
They're cool and I wish we got more good Mario RPGS
