I agree with all of this. I sometimes wonder why Geno of all people. Like yeah I get it, he's mysterious and cool, but I mean why THEM of all of characters. I WISH this was about Mike Jones.

My eternal favourite Sakurai trolling moment was when he said something, showed the same thing on screen, and it turned out that it was entirely true.
I stand corrected. I completely forgot about those later GBA/DS games.
Geno ain't making it in. So as punishment for the puppet getting a Mii costume, we are probably getting another Fire Emblem character.
And you think Corrin and Byleth were bad, this character is really that mysterious female character who possesses the Crest of Flames datamined from Three Houses' source code and not only they'll reveal that character in Smash first, it'll just be Edelgard but as a Nabatean that likes to punch shit and voiced by Sumire Morohoshi/Cristina Vee.

People aren't saying that K. Rool is a cultural icon, just that he's more well known than this Geno guy. The show was garbage and didn't set the world on fire popularity-wise, but objectively he has one more TV credit and over ten more videogame appearances than Geno ever did.
TIL basic reasoning is just "making up rules" and therefore irrelevant.
People are just working by what is likely vs what isn't, to go about it any other way is just irrational. No one is saying it's flat-out impossible, just very unlikely based on previous patterns.
I think you're thinking of Smash for 3DS/Wii U. Smash Ultimate didn't bring Geno costume back until very recently.
All I can say is, as the end of the pass arrives, the more heated the discussion will be. And I don't think the more requested characters are getting in.
Was Geno ever in smash before the Mii costume included in Smash WiiU/3DS? Is there any reason to believe Nintendo values this character?
Genuinely asking if Geno appeared as a trophy or sticker before the 4th iteration of smash. If not, then it's a noticeable jump in popularity. I wouldn't be surprised to see Nintendo capitalize on this trend.

I will be legitimately fucking shocked if Master Chief doesn't make it.
the best thing about smash is sakurai does whatever he wants and doesn't give a fuck about the character beggars

Sorry for bringing politics into this, but Geno fans are acting just as delusional as cultists of Donald Trump who refuses to acknowledge the results of the election & Joe Biden as President.
Good fucking grief.
Yeah, I don't see him, nor Crash, Dante , Sora and Doom Guy going in. And I think the Sora people already accepted that calmly.
the overall third party presence in Smash was extremely limited before the 4th iteration
(Geno is a third party character)
The difference between these two genres is that Smash is a fighting game, not an RPG. Even if Terry wasn't more famous than Geno (which he is), he is still part of the lineage that birthed Smash in a way that Geno never will be. That's why including him always made sense and including this, frankly, completely niche and somewhat irrelevant character, doesn't (btw a huge % of RPG fans won't know who he is, or at least wouldn't were it not for smash discourse).
Oh my goodness, I forgot there will definitely be "pissed-off" comments and buckets of salt raging through the Smash community by the end of this current pass.
On one hand, I don't want to see what happens, but on the other hand, I wanted to see the epilogue / aftermath of the whole thing.
Just imagine if Nintendo closes with a 1st party character. Veins are going to popped.
That Nintendo even put forward the effort to get him for a Mii Costume at all is, in my mind, already them "capitalizing on the trend" of Geno's fan demand. It's an achievement for the people that have been clamoring for his inclusion in Smash for basically two decades now despite nearly no logical reason behind his specific inclusion being likely or even all that sensible.
But of course as we've seen with things like Shovel Knight, Sans, and others, inclusion in Smash never actually "counts" unless they're a fully-built and unique newcomer fighter, and anything less than that is perceived as an insult to the fanbase instead. I'm honestly at the point now where I feel like the health of the community would be better off if assist trophies and mii costumes didn't exist at all, because people seem to be entirely ungrateful for the effort put into them anyway.
I get that. It didn't stop a cameo in the first Mario and Luigi. Though the cameo isn't in the remake for some reason.
Jeez.
...Does this qualify as an insane instance of Godwin's Law?
Geno's cameo in Mario & Luigi required approval from Square:
Which is presumably why it's not in the remake. Brawl only had third party content from the Sonic and Metal Gear franchises.
I want Geno in and I think it's possible Sakurai would still put him in if it was solely up to him, but they've said multiple times that Nintendo gives Sakurai the possible options that he chooses from. I highly doubt that Nintendo put Geno on the table. Unless Sakurai did some weird deal with Nintendo to only do another pass if they allow a sixth character (Geno) or some insane shit like that then I highly doubt he's getting in, but anything's possible I suppose.
the energy i would gain from such a move would allow me to live until the year 3000
I don't think it's going to happen, but the people who sit here and pretend that Nintendo abides by any kinds of rules anymore are the actual delusional ones.
you know what, i never even thought of that looking back in retrospect :(
Geno being in smash is the kind of crazy stockholm syndrome nintendo fans have with smash, just like pro smash player demanding nintendo foster their pro scene when they clearly have no intention of doing so.
Geno will never be a unique character in smash. Never. Ya'll need to come to terms with it.

GENO WILL BE THE NEXT SMASH FIGHTER

Hard facts: Geno will never ever be a DLC character for Smash.
Super Mario RPG wasn't even released in Europe, how do you expect to push fighter pass sales with such a character?
In Japan they print huge posters as advertisements and put them up in train stations for new characters, Geno has like zero credibility to warrant such a spot.
The only way he gets into the game is as part of the launch roster, DLC is absolutely impossible.

After seeing the (terrible) mii outfit of geno I don't think we will get him as an actual character in smash now for sure.
I guess there is still a very slim chance we could get geno but in case we dontt (and we probably wont) I've already started hiring a team of lawyers to fiile a lawsuit against nintendo if geno doesn't make the cut.

Ridley is an actual Nintendo character and has made many appearances over the years. Geno is at the very bottom rung of SE characters, he got a costume, be happy with that - it's more than far more deserving characters will get.
Oh, I very much disagree. He is one of the most deserving characters.
Look at the five Mii costumes that were just released along with Sephiroth. Four Final Fantasy costumes and Geno. One of these is not like the others. Why is Geno grouped in with the Final Fantasy set? Answer: because he's Square property; so he's getting released alongside Sephiroth, who is also Square property. This was the moment that made the most sense to release the Geno costume.
If Geno was actually going to be released as a character in a few months, then the above reasoning wouldn't hold. There would be no need to awkwardly group him together with Final Fantasy if there was going to be a whole event centered around Geno.
If you like, you can say Nintendo was "trolling" by doing this. But at that point, you're just grasping at straws. The Geno fanbase is not so special that Nintendo would structure its marketing campaign around a petty desire to troll you.

There is a subset of the Smash fanbase who genuinely believes Sakurai is Willy Wonka and everything he does is wacky 5D chess.
I don't think characters from a different medium than games will ever get added. Maybe as a spirit, but that's it. It's why we won't ever see Goku even though people keep asking for him. Yes, Bandai Namco owns the license to create Dragon Ball games and use the likeness of DB characters in games. But if they ever lose the license rights to Goku's likeness would have to be renegotiated with the current license holder just to keep selling Goku. It's too much of a hassle. It's easier to keep it within gaming IP since most game characters are owned by their respective publisher.why are ppl so obsessed with such an obscure character?
Geno who?
Sakurai better add in this genos instead as dlc just to twist the knife even deeper.
