Geno

Description
THIS GENO IS OLD AND BAD PLEASE STOP AND GO DOWNLOAD THE BETTER ONE.

A legendary hero descends from the Star Road to the world of Aether in hopes of restoring broken wishes...

My first workshop character! I really wanted a fully functional Geno so I picked up this project back in October and stopped at some point. I picked it up again recently and decided to finish it! All of his moves now function and he's ready to be released onto Aether!

(Neutral Secial) - Charge up your star power and unleash an array of attacks!
- Fingershot: Does pitiful ammounts of damage but isn't very hard to charge up.
- Hand Gun: Fires more powerful shots, unaffected by gravity. Cool!
- Arm Cannon: Fire your fist forward for a deadly attack!
- Geno Beam: Charge it all in one sitting to unleash a devastating beam!

(Side Special) - Throw a disc of light forward! If you're lucky, you might just land a critical hit...

(Down Special) - Call upon your friends to help you fight!
- Grounded: Mallow brings some shocking spike effects!
- Aerial: Bowser helps out by giving you a boost forward!

(Up Special) - Fire yourself like a rocket upwards! Ascend to new heights!

To Do List (In no particular order):
- Find the hand gun sound effect
- Add more recolors/skins
- Tweak/Balance
- Find or make a better animation for specials used while on cooldown


Known issues/bugs:
1.) The "Bowser Throw" is a bit wonky, for some reason when applying custom gravity, it would spawn 100 bowsers, so I decided to omit custom gravity for now, leaving it feeling a bit odd.
2.) Geno is a bit unbalanced. It's to be expected since I just made him, but I should be rolling out some balance changes some point soon.
3.) The handgun (Level 2 Star Charge) sound is wrong. I can't find this sound anywhere, seriously. So i just adjusted the pitch of the fingershot sound to be lower.

@realpichu1 I'm unfortunately not the one who made the sprites, so it'll likely stay that way. Its not ideal, but it works. It's possible that I may revisit the Geno sprites in the future and edit Blaner's sprites or just get some help redoing all the sprite work altogether, but I wouldn't count on that happening right now.

@Doctor Flux The preview image is just something I threw together in about a minute and it definitely shows lol. I know he's not a Smash character and I've played through SMRPG dozens of times now. The Smash font was just something I plopped on there because I couldn't think of a better dynamic font and I wasn't super concerned about the accuracy of a preview image.
Also for the given resources, I used what I could for Mallow and Bowser. There were certainly a lot of worse options out here. These ones just happened to fit the original Geno sprite best

reminder: Geno is a mario character from a mario spinoff game from over 20 years ago
not smash character
why is the "o" in thumbnail a smash logo
Fine mod for using SSBC´s sprites but mallow/bowser sprites dont fit together with geno at all

dash attack and up air shouldn't be the same sprite and forward air needs some smear frames, otherwise this is an amazing geno.

this is a good geno, easy to pick up, easy to learn combos, a good character for someone to get if they just got the game, i mean that in a good way, great work on this geno, tho quick thing to say, could you lower the end lag on down tilt, it cant really do much in its current state and if lowered it could be a good combo starter, just saying, overall good geno 10/10

Yo i made some recolors for geno, i thought the ones in the original were a bit bland so i made some new ones that could spice things up a bit! If you're interested you can just dm me on discord. I'm Zerks#8008.
