Thing is, about your first point, you don't know if he'll choose one of those other characters over Geno, or even if he will include them at all. I am sure Sakurai likes Geno a lot still, and while he may have competitors, I don't think his liking Geno is changing anytime soon. I say you are guessing more than spitting out facts there. Just because there are, doesn't mean they will, if you know what I mean. How can you think he'll choose another character from Square Enix over Geno when you don't even know the man that much. That is just jumping to conclusions there.
As for Sora becoming a costume, I don't think those chances are likely, mind you, for reasons already stated by myself.
Even if there was something bad about being THAT optimistic, you can't change people's minds, not that easily. In fact, doing so often creates needless arguments, like how your pointing out how you think being 99% sure a character like Geno is in is a bad thing will only cause more trouble. In fact, I say you and some others don't seem to know what you are doing by doing that and, in the case of others, not you, bashing and picking on Geno fans when their stance is not even going to change. Whether it is bashing or pointing out something optimism based, that will likely not help, and in fact make things worse. That is why we should stop this, especially if you don't want the thread locked and want to keep talking Geno. You can't control or change others to your liking, so it is best to stop now.
I understand what you mean. I do wish the detractors would leave us alone. Do they have anything better to do, anyway, other than waste time arguing with those wanting a character from a video game?
