Pics of the day never mean anything and I'm not trying to get my hopes up but of course the last one just HOURS before the next fighter reveal just had to be an exact replica of Geno's first appearance in Super Mario RPG.

Man. 8 months and multiple Famitsu columns later... if spirits really did deconfirm DLC fighters you'd think Sakurai would've said so by now.

Brave is supposed to be a bit shorter than Mario, eh? Interesting that.

What I find really funny about this new development as we near the inevitable Square-Enix character announcement is that the best piece of evidence towards Geno's chances come from within the game's code itself. Brave's frame data could've been similar to every other proportionally sized...

You don't make a party member from a 20+ year old spin off Mario game a "legendary" spirit unless you're aware that this character is a big deal for Smash fans. Geno has a LOT going for him. More than any other highly requested character still left after Ridley and K. Rool. Be patient. The odds...

BUT to be fair. Sakurai has yet to disappoint us after redesigning characters that he needed to like Pit, Ice Climbers, Duck Hunt Dog or even Marth and Roy in Melee.

You know what's a totally possible timeline that I hope doesn't happen? Geno does get into Smash but gets a redesign that we all absolutely hate. And a character with nothing else to go off other than sprites from a 20 year old game would need some liberties taken with how he should look in a...

Honestly. The thing I always remember the most about him is how funny and goofy he was. He was the only party member who had a laughing sprite animation and he would turn to face the camera and laugh constantly. I always thought his iconic laughter would be a good taunt or even victory pose...

Side note: Being a Geno fan is tough because of the position the character has been stuck in. He's a Mario character owned by SE so Nintendo can't use him without SE's permission and SE can't use him if it's not a Nintendo/Mario related game. Meaning no chance to ever see him again unless Super...

Alright guys. If Geno doesn't get in as DLC i'm just gonna quit my job and offer to work for free as an intern at NoA. Slowly work my way up the ranks as much as I can. Enough to be able to be in top meetings with NoJ about upcoming games and when the next Smash starts to be discussed I'll...

So does anyone have any info on the profile icons we saw in the trailer?

I have nothing more to add that hasn't already discussed but can we take a moment and appreciate the fact that it's 2018 and Geno from Super Mario RPG has made such an impact in all of us and millions of people who played the game long ago. Sometimes a fictional character that appeared in only...

Has anyone said anything about the profile icons at all? Are they exclusive to the game? Are they actually Switch profile icons?

https://ibb.co/eXptAL Couldn't attach the image but here's a screenshot of the arena section of the Direct.

No one seems to be discussing the fact that Geno is probably much less expensive AND less of a hassle for Nintendo than any other new Square rep. Geno's likeness is already in Smash 4 and Ultimate. Meaning the negotiation and pricing to use him has already been discussed and settled long ago...
