Heh, Geno didn't reek badass the last time I played SMRPG...

You better be right, or else another Knux upset might be in line.

I think your previous comparison of Geno being the Vincent of FF7 is a lil' better...though, to be fair, I've never played FFX, so I probably shouldn't be sayin' that, heh. Ah well.

If LL polls are any indicator he's tied with Mario as the favorite SMRPG character.

Devoid of emotion doesn't necessarily mean badass. I'd call Bowser more badass than Geno... and I wouldn't call Bowser badass to begin with. But I could see people saying that... by SMRPG standards. Heh.

Raiden fact of the contest: Alucard is a plagiarist, this year Raiden will prove it!

Honestly, there's no reason why Geno shouldn't be far and away the most popular exclusive SMRPG character. He's casual bait. He's the mysterious dude who's ridiculously overpowered.

Geno's more badass than any other character in the game, as evidenced by the forest maze and Bowyer incident.

Seeing as Crono is so much more powerful than Terra, I don't think the ensemble cast would be enough to make up for it. Chrono Trigger being released much later probably contributed at least slightly. Since SMRPG is even more recent than CT, Geno would gain even more likelihood to be stronger than Terra.

Did the PS2's light just change color...?!

Well, considering his only real opposition would be Mallow, that's pretty much a fact. But I don't think it counts for enough. Geno just seems to have "cult favorite" written all over him. Yeah I know SMRPG isn't "cult", but you know what I mean.

Maybe next time we should get Croco or Booster in just for the heck of it.

It might help to determine whether Geno is the "Auron" of SMRPG, or if he's just the favorite.

I gotta admit, I'm probably kinda biased on Geno's strength. I never really saw his appeal. I actually preferred Mallow... hell Croco too.

Then again, Terra is my third or fourth least favorite FF6 character, so I guess I'm equally biased towards them being fodderific.

Yes, well, the point is that Vivi doesn't rhyme with CJ. Shush up 'bout me slippin' up on that last one, heh.

So, now, with that poll, it's obvious that Squall would own Mario to hell and high water. =P

Would anybody get frisky with today's match and take Geno over Bomberman?
