Yes, Square does in fact own the rights to him and Mallow.
I found the LinkedIn account of one I believe is one, named Phil something-or-other, I'll have to dig it up again...
I found one host, 000webhost, that has hosting for like $5 a month. $4.84 to be exact. I'm checking them to see if they can use the PHP mail function with a free account, if they can then we're all-set.

EDIT: Yes, it does, so we're good for now. Though we probably should raise up like $10 for a domain, you can get good deals with Namecheap. They even take Bitcoins if you're into that sort of thing.
That's something WE all should be running together, I think. And something we really should be doing if we plan on doing the kind of stuff that Mass Effect fans would do (make collab posters and ship them to Bioware, in our case Square) anyway.
I guess this would be an idea for whenever we make a big-ass collab thing to be shipped off to Square, but some fundraising drive that would allow us to collect the money we need and send the difference to some charity like Child's Play or something wouldn't be a bad idea.

We should rally the other SMRPG fans too.
It's OK, I really don't think we have to plan for or worry about doing stuff like that just yet. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
agreed.
I really doubt it.
For me, it would be vastly more hype than Megaman's reveal (but I honestly don't care about Megaman). However, I'm pretty much on the same page. If he gets in, it would be absolutely incredible. However, there is quite literally no reason for Square to let Nintendo use Geno, and if they make it difficult at all, I doubt Sakurai would consider it worthwhile to pursue.
Well,to be fair, Waluigi is unlikely but still likelier than Geno I believe.
Eh, going back and looking at the size of the character support threads I would say that a lot of threads are shrimpy compared to the preBrawl threads. Aside from Ridley, K. Rool, Newtwo, and (the now confirmed) Megaman, very few of the newcomers have a strong presence here. This is probably because a lot of Brawl's newcomers like King Dedede, Diddy, and (good god) Sonic were such megatons fanbase wise as well as the fact that SSB4's undoubtedly will stray much further in obscure to casual Nintendo fans territory than past games have.
I'm starting to hate the "relevant" argument. It's so subjective and biased toward recent characters. I fear if Smash's roster starts to preferentially select newer characters over retro ones, it'll turn Smash into a glorified marketing tool as opposed to a monument of Nintendo's history like it's supposed to be.
Which is far and away the case especially when you look at the characters that casual players are harking for. There's very few leaders that run away with support in that camp and the only ones that come to mind that more seasoned players largely agree with are Mewtwo and Little Mac. Characters like Ridley, Isaac, and K. Rool are not even on a majority of casual players radars while characters like Krystal, Waluigi, Pac-Man, and Bowser Jr are considered to be highly controversial. As someone who's been playing Nintendo games for over 20 years, I'm fully aware of the many different characters and franchises that seem plausible to add in Smash Bros but even a lot of gaming journalism sites seem to express the idea that Brawl tapped most of the major character ideas and they argue that it will be a struggle to come up with a decent cast this time around. We know that's bogus but I feel that's the way a lot of casual players think of it which is why I'd argue most casual support seems to be behind third party characters this time around as opposed to first and second parties.
Really there are several third party characters that are considered to be either Nintendo icons that *need* to be in the game (Megaman, Simon Belmont) or are otherwise important parts of Nintendo in some way that people feel need to be added in keeping with the spirit of the game, so it's not surprising casual players would be behind third parties.
So...Ness? He appeared in a single game, which was largely obscure and only had a "strong cult" following(much akin to SMRPG). And yet he made the cut in the original roster, which was the smallest and therefore by definition the hardest to get into.
I see no problem with Square Characters in Mario Sports games, and the fact they have a game crossover called Fortune Street.
