>Sources say that a character will be from Square Enix
It would be like Nintendo to tell Sakurai to add another Pokemon in as they didn't learn their lesson from Corrin with Byleth. Nintendo will promote whatever the hell they want even if it get's the most negative backlash in the world.
Ah, you also know of amazing Dean Martin music. I knew I liked you for more reasons than just being an awesome Geno-loving janitor.
Nintendo only can do the blatant shill move so many times before people catch on and it ruins Smash's reputation. Look at Playstation All Stars and how blatant it was about it. I'm sure if the developers weren't obligated to include the most recent designs of a lot of those characters, the game would have been better received.
Don't underestimate the corporate overlords' stupid decision making because they think they know wants best for us not us.
Rumours have it that there might be a Nintendo Direct on the 20th, though I'm not sure what kind of track record the source has. (they got the date of a previous Direct - I think it was the Animal Crossing: New Horizons one? - correct, but I don't know what else they've gotten right or wrong in the past)
Forget another SEGA character coming to Smash, I'd rather see SEGA make their own Smash Bros game. They have such a rich library of classic characters and worlds that I feel if they brought them all together in a platform fighter and didn't try to reinvent the wheel like PSASBR did (and come up with a shorter, snapper name for it), they'd be able to make a game worthy enough to rival Smash.
I can't do that, but I can give you a free Geno hat!
And Nintendo distributed Shovel Knight in japan. Means nothing.
Not much. According to
papagenos
he was given info that he can't reveal that seems to strengthen the chances of Waluigi and/or Geno coming to Smash as fighters. Also, it's rumored by a lot of reputable insiders that there'll be a Direct on or around the 20th.
Would you say he is waiting in the sky?“The July Direct is over and we’re left on a shot of the stars. We hear “GENO AWAKENS” slowly fade in as a star drops to earth. We see the star fly through many different locations from Mario RPG, until it eventually finds the Geno doll. The doll gets up slowly as we see a glimmering Smash ball in his eyes...”
NEVER allow someone that tells you Geno is “too obscureto be playable in Smash. He is 100% in for me and I will never regret my words cause we are about to see the end of the two decades tunnel. Don’t judge my faith, everything that happens leads and increases Geno’s chances to be Ultimately playable. Every Direct or official info enhance Geno’s chances and makes him more alive and brighter than ever. Every Missing Costume, Takedown of songs or Legacy, Fan rules broken or anything, increases his chances. Min Min’s base-game spirit do NOT deconfirm was the last thing I needed to be from 99.9% to 100% sure he is in. To all of this, add the rest of evidence of The List and Sakurai’s acknowledge of the character, his declarations on it, how Geno made in all polls, the only costume with Splash Art and a song on the trailer, and many more things.
To all of this, add that Geno is perfect for Smash. Being the FIRST third party coming from a first party world. Mario universe, amazing and fresh moveset. The team can translate all from his game. Moveset, design, taunts, sounds, victory song, music and spirits. It will also bring new mechanics to Smash and bring another old school character to the roster which is Third Party but existing only in Mario World. It will be the best reveal. Go and check how insane is the fan art and love everyone shares on him on social media. Music, drawing, animations, 3D models, remixe
This guy is perfect for Smash and no one would make me believe the opposite.

(My Geno doll is so amazing, I can’t stop watching it). When Geno gets revealed, it will teleport to my 6 years old kid that met him playing Mario RPG in 1996. That feeling would be indescribable. Only Mega Man and Banjo touched that part of me; but Geno will be higher than anyone.
GENO SHOOTS AMONG THE STARS!
Fatmanonice and all the crew: Geno in Smash will have a special % from all of us in this thread and all over the world that loves him and keeps him alive since 24 years ago. This is thanks to Nintendo & Square but we make this possible, with our passion and voice. I know I sound that if he was already in playable but believe me, he will. Probably I’m the most hyped guy on it with a 100% on him, but I don’t regret it. Just wait and see how wishes come true
as long as it ain´t rigged in the start
We got a Sega tennis game and two racing games, so I agree that it's about time we get some kind of fighting game from them as well.
There are two viewpoints about character speculation.
Happy Weekend!, Also Im just as confused as you are, could the 7/14 or 7/20 date be wrong? or maybe a game announcement on 7/14 and a direct on 7/20? Not sure
Fatman said the game is being published by them in Japan, not owned by them. It's the same deal as the first Shantae game being published by Capcom, not the same thing as owning them
Depends on how they play this. If its an actual popular character with large fan support like Toxtricity, they would be more welcomed. If its the DLC Kung Fu Bear, that will be disliked. The base Pokemon game has been out well before this pass was started, so they could actually see which ones this gen are popular and fan favorites to then decide who to use in this new pass. But if its the SwiSh DLC pokemon, then they would be started to be worked on in Smash before the DLC came out to the players, so it comes more off as a straight up shill. The former would be a shill but with actual fan history, so its not as blatant of a shill.
Crash and/or Toxtricity would be radical I’m not even gonna lie.
If we're specifically talking fighting games, and depending whether you count other types of gameplay like 3D arena fighting, Sega kinda-sorta already made their own Smash Bros. game...
Crash as the Square rep confirmed? But bro. Nothing will ever surpass the 90’s shattering fact that Sega published a Sony exclusive on a Nintendo console
Like I said, publishing isn't the same as ownership. It'll be interesting to see what the next Fighter Pass reveal brings to the table
By this logic Geno would have been in Smash since Brawl because, although Square Enix developed Super Mario RPG, Nintendo was who published the game. Owner =/= Publisher.
You mentioned SEGA as a candidate, and while I don't disagree with your opinions on them, I actually think Capcom has the most amount of characters they could use that are renowned. Of course, no company will match Nintendo's IP might, but I'd say if any developer comes close it is Capcom. SEGA does indeed have a lot of IPs too, but on the whole I wouldn't say they're as recognizable as Capcom's.

oh hey thats cool, I didnt known that
... wait, what?

I think the rating may have been for NSO as a whole.
