The best thing about Geno is that he's so nebulous I can make any argument to support his inclusion.
"He's third party!" "He can have a unique icon!" The mind reels with possibilities.
Smash facebook page uploaded more spirits info, with Akira that's 2 updates.
I don't think we've seen Floor is Poison hazard yet so that's neat.
I just wish we knew the DLC strategy. With Nintendo at the helm, is it going to focus on their IP or is third party the priority.
If we had some idea of that, we could start formulating some kind of list of candidates.

"we want to revive these 3 franchises and also have a pokemon and fire emblem"
"their sales will determine their worth"
"dont fail us, sakurai"
Nah, this is different because the console Granblue game is planned to be localized. Granted, we don't know when, and it's not on a Nintendo console, but it's better than going off an assumption like with Lucas.
And for anyone curious and willing to do a bit of reading, this might be interesting:

Since Nintendo has a hand in now, a place in Smash could be part of that western push.
I can't wait for them being replaced in America with Mike Jones, and for Mike Jones inexplicably having the exact same abilities as Rex and Pyra for online compatibility, and for all of my friends begging me to buy that version instead, and for Switch not supporting two versions of Smash installed at once.
Baby Metal is a trio of talented young Japanese girls that sing metal vocals.
the newcomers ARE
Ayumi Tachibana, with a mysteriously completely redone design
Alex Rovias
Urban Champion, who now has a name and voice acting
Byleth
Lucario the Fourth
That was actually the first hazard they highlighted in the Direct, along with the same Spirit ha ha
Haha, I was just talking about Metroid Music not being confirmed and we got ourselves a boss from from Samus Returns. No, not Diggernaut. Or Proteus Ridley
This one ("Boss Battle 4")
Confirmed here

Rex and springman were too early to be DLC. Pokémon already got a rep. The only glaring omission is the FE rep, and that's only one slot. We have no reason to think some dope Nintendo chars won't get in.
Pokemon already getting a rep doesn't mean much when we got Robin and Corrin last game
Oh yea, and Magnus' theme is back if anyone cares

And Ruins from Wario Land Shake it is back

Proof? Because the impression I got from the direct was he to late for the base roster. If they only recently got done with the DLC decisions there's no reason to exclude Rex.
I disagree with that. I don't expect Rex and Spring Man to make the DLC roster, but they didn't even finalise the list of characters until last week.
The reason they won't make it in is because Nintendo doesn't want them.
If you can't get Rex into the game two years after his game came out (if he was to be the final character), despite him being one of the most popular picks, it's because you don't want him in there.
However, I do say all of this not knowing when DLC talks began.
Not Omega Metroid either. Good sign though, could be more.
Calm down, the poster I was referring to said that. So I was going off their wording.
But no, I don't think Rex is getting in. I don't think Sakurai put out a direct where he says he hopes a costume "makes you feel like playing as Rex" and then shows off a bunch of music from XB2, and then goes on to announce a week and a half later that the DLC chars have been decided. Nah
1) I really wanna play Shake It now
2) The lack of Wario Land 4 music fills me with a profound melancholy
It was both, and it affects more than just Samus
The direction on someone like say, Mario's voice lines post Brawl, are weak imo
"Hope it makes you feel like your playing as Rex."
Part of my disbelief that this was a deconfirmation is that I refuse anyone could say this with a straight face.
Mii costumes have never been a satisfying substitution and they never will be.
Their a cute little reference but any attempt to try and pass them off as anything more irritates me.

the lack of wario music in general is a bummer. The lack of WL tracks in Brawl sucked but at least we got all kinds of WW songs to make up for it!
And then Smash 4 just kind of shrugged, removed the Mona & Mike tracks, put in a (japanese only) Ashely remix, a Shake It rip, and some Gamer ambiance
It's a bizarre way to word it if you're putting him in to the very same DLC pack his costume is a preorder for. Also the DLC roster was finalized before the day Sakurai tweeted about it. No way was that week between the direct and the tweet filled with uncertainty on Sakurai's part.
Uh huh, I'm sure Sakurai chose this moment of all his other moments to not be direct and say what he meant.
Quick question about spirits/stickers since I'm not on top of things: do they all have "lore" descriptions, i.e. not just what they functionally do, but also who the character is, where it comes from... A nice little text blurb, you know? Kinda like how it was with trophies in prior games IIRC (I'm not a Smash connoisseur, never owned any).
I guess I'm just asking if the games act like a video game museum with lots of interesting to read, beyond the simple fact that it's got tons of content from many series. I wanna play the game in Japanese for reading practice, so the game could potentially help me with that if there's tons of text to read.

while it wasn't mentioned in the Direct, I kinda expect Spirits to be included with at least some of the DLC Fighter Packs, like how the Smash 4 DLC included bonus Trophies
I'm in the camp that if Rex was going to be a newcomer, we wouldn't have had the Spirits and the music and the Nia costume in the base game as well as the Rex DLC costume

The DLC could still take months to come out though, so it fits well enough. We also oddly haven't seen a Rex spirit yet in spite of all other Xenoblade 2 content.
I've been playing through some WL games on 3DS VC recently, particularly 4, and I've also been watching Vinny Vinesauce play Wario World for the first time. So I'm in a Wario state of mind at the moment (a terrifying prospect). So much wacky stuff in that series I'd love to see brought to Smash. Golden Diva boss battle when?
That said, I suppose I'm happy he got his shoulder bash for his dash attack. And I choose to believe that his neutral B is a reference to the coin-collecting mechanic in Wario World, as well as his back throw being the Wild Swing Ding (let me have these). Still a lot of WL love I wanna see baked in there. Playing these games again, it also just occurred to me that his really high air speed is also kinda directly from WL. That gamefeel is kinda what directly contributed to Wario's platforming outings feeling so unique to me, and it has definitely been translated into Smash.
Anywho, I'll take a Sakurai-directed approach to 3D Wario beat 'em up when he's finished with Ultimate and rested up, please and thank you.
No there is a Spirit for him. However though I don't really think it matters the costume wasn't a deconfirmation and they most likely already had the costume lying around.
The bonuses they typically do for DLC are low effort and are done to give more immediate tangibility for the pass so it doesn't feel like you spent money on a promise of content. That's why I don't really think it's a deconfirmation because if it was Sakurai would've been clear about it and they most likely had the costume ready and made it a bonus for the pass.
There's a special type of Spirit for the Fighters that have descriptions, but whether the other non-Fighter Spirits have descriptions is unknown at the moment.
We've seen a Rex Spirit. He's in a screenshot of the Training Dojo on the Spirits page of the official site.
that the Rex costume is DLC while the Nia costume is in the base game makes me think Rex and/or other XC2 content may have been shortlisted for the DLC, but was passed over in favor of something else for whatever reason
This made me think of what would happen if smash celebrities like Mango, Hungrybox, M2K, and Armada were spirits...
Let's not think about it again
