, I keep hearing about these Geno water coolers. What is that all about?Back last fall during the whole speculation, rumors, etc. If I recall correctly, was it"Geno Shines Again" will always be my go-to tagline for Geno because it symbolizes his return from his 22 year MIA to the present as a "star" in Smash Bros.

talking about it? Was it Verge? I don't remember and would have to ... sift ... through all the pages to find it. But I do remember that. It could line up with this DLC round. Nintendo probably planned on doing a good bit of DLC so certain fighters would come in eventually.
Here's one instance of the Geno and water cooler talk.
GENOHere's a good tagline: "Geno". Short simple and to the point
He's short.Here's a good tagline: "Geno". Short simple and to the point
hmmThis... this right here Genobros, ladies and gentlemen, gamers from all walks of life, are words that fill my heart with ease. I believe I've said this quite a few pages back (QUITE a few); let us trust in Sakurai. This is it.
Also Rest in peace to the late Mr. Iwata he was such a good president and while we went through some tough times while he was in leadership (ex. The Wii U era) he was and always will be my favorite Nintendo president.This... this right here Genobros, ladies and gentlemen, gamers from all walks of life, are words that fill my heart with ease.

Honestly, I can't even think of Geno when it comes to this. All I can think of is how heart-wrenching, yet utterly sweet this all is. Ultimate's not only a game that takes the years of Smash and gives the fans a HUGE love letter, but it's also Sakurai's last game appointed to him by the late Iwata-san. Iwata's spirit is with this game. His is the most ultimate spirit of all, so legendary that even four star legend status isn't enough for him.This... this right here Genobros, ladies and gentlemen, gamers from all walks of life, are words that fill my heart with ease.

what does this translate too?
Yeah it really is heart wrenching and heart touching. Iwata for all his faults and all the hard times he's been the head of (ex. Wii U era) he was always smiling through the hard times and always carried that adventurous and fun spirit of Nintendo with him. He is and was what I pictured a Nintendo president would be and I couldn't have asked for a better President despite the rough times.
Umm...what?
Since when does this apply to Sora?
I don¨t think Sora is impossible. I¨m just saying that this might be the reason WHY Sora hasn¨t been included yet
The Disney connection with him. Especially how people argue if Donald and Goofy should be apart of his Final Smash
That still doesn't make any sense when Sora is a video game character himself and has a full arsenal moveset potential to not include Donald and Goofy or any Disney references at all.
It does imply he wants more third party characters to come as DLC but not necessarily third parties being the only thing we get
Yes, but we all know how Sakurai loves to put the love and soul into the characters. The attention to details he has with every inclusion (especially third party) is agreed to be pretty much spot on. Here¨s where Donald and Goofy come in. Sakurai might feel that Goofy and Donald is so incorporated with Sora¨s character that it would not be true to the character if he got in without them. And since he want the only videogame included... you get the idea. Its either that or Disney demands them to put the Disney aspect in and refuse to budge (I mean, the Sony/Disney deal is just a prime example on that they can be stubborn)
There’s Cloud with Chocobo, Tifa, Barret, and Sephiroth missing. They are pretty huge in FF7. If Sakurai can’t get these important characters as a spirit or Final Smash, then he might not worry about Donald and Goofy. Instead, he can get characters like Riku and Aqua.
Jesus...
How would Sora restrict other characters from joining, that's not how adding characters works in Smash.
How who'd Disney restrict other companies joining smash? Disney would be a guest not the owner of the game.
Regardless of whether Sora is an impediment to Geno, we need another anime swordsman like we need a hole in our collective head. What with Terry around, it's a moot point to make but I'll ask it anyway: what would Sakurai see in Sora aside from a way to attract KH fans, who would likely never enjoy Smash because it involves hitting more than one button every fight. What does Sora bring to the table that Hero or Robin hasn't already? Air combos? Bayonetta covers that niche nicely. All he would be is a huge licensing hassle to bring what would basically be another Joker to the game - a character with only spinoffs on Nintendo consoles while the mainline entries stay nearly exclusive to Sony.
One of the biggest modern JRPG icons with a hugely passionate fan base and quite possibly the only character that will rival Banjo & Kazooie in the, "BRINGING THE HOUSE DOWN BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE" way. There's a considerable fan base behind Sora that overlaps with the Smash community already when you look at polls (Here's one I like to refer to because they included the top 50 haha: https://i.imgtc.com/9X06jCl.jpg). He's not a no-name character to the fan base, he's one of the front-runners of fan demand these days. So, he's hardly even comparable to Joker in that regard (who did have support for reference).
With polls like that, I hope Sakurai browses reddit...
I know Disney can't restrict Nintendo, but Nintendo can restrict themselves.
