Okay, so let me get this straight...

Cloud was seen using his Ultimate render as a fighter spirit. If both of his spirits are from this game, it shows SE didn't even bother to send any artwork from FFVII or any of his other appearances. It's a wonder Mallow got to be a spirit at all.

Can you please tell me the source where you found this awesome image?!


That is the full list of profile pictures so yes, Geno can be your profile picture.
Damn, that's awesome! The only thing that's stopping me from 100% constantly choosing the Geno profile picture is Shadow Mario. I'm probably going to need to alternate between them. Lol

Edit: Nvm, just saw Ocelot in there. I might need to choose him too.

Right here. Speaking of, I actually just got around to playing Earthbound just recently, and I can't believe I didn't play it sooner. Especially since I played Mother 3 first. Real great game, would recommend to anyone here.

It's an amazing experience. EarthBound and Mother 3 are rivaled as my favorite games in the series. Just don't forget to play EarthBound Beginnings! :D

I thought Sakurai tweeted just recently that the dlc was just now decided on.
I think Geno may have been planned when Sakurai bought the Vifam gun in 2016, and Sakurai wanted to include him as soon as he could, but of course Square Enix has to be cheap, so Geno makes sense as the first DLC

Geez, that's a LOT of icons! I wonder how this selection process went down? I'm honestly surprised they didn't just let you pick any Spirit as your icon. I can see the F-Zero icons were chosen based on the anime. (Jack Levin with no Pico...)


(Also, that random Link icon in between Mario-Series icons irks me...)

As for Geno, seeing how we have non-Smash renders for several characters, I doubt this automatically disconfirms a character for DLC.

Also, guess how many Square Enix icons there are that aren't Cloud, the Final Fantasy icon, or Geno?!

I counted 3 more other than Geno. Are there more than that?

Edit: Aww, you changed the requirements of your question. That's no fun. :p

Sorry, I edited my post to include Cloud and the Final Fantasy icon (because they would have to include them).
Other than them and Geno, the answer is Mega Man X's best friend.

I'm back from thinking, This is completely random but i'm staying. I still believe there's a light at the end. Even if it's not what we desire. I get the feeling things will only get more interesting from here.

The Vifam gun...doesn't really match up with Geno at all.

Straws being grasped.

Geno has a gun for a hand, none of the Smash newcomers so far are gun users except Inkling, and Inkling's gun is ink-based. So no, straws are not at all being grasped here, an example of straws being grasped is saying that Geno's battle token is used by Shulk who can see the future and that it counts as a hint

His guns consist largely of holes in his joints and the occasional wand-type protrusion extending from his wood holes.

The Vifam gun looks like a dual-handed machine gun.

Geno is a gun oriented character, and the only one besides Mii gunner, but Mii gunner was in Smash 4, and Sakurai didn't but anything like that at that time. There isn't really any other character it could be used for, and Geno's gun does have holes, but not entirely. This could mean that he bought them for Geno to work on him, and the toy as a reference

Someone arguing with me about Geno told me that Geno isn’t getting in because “he would have more representation than Cloud” and “Square would never show their DLC character before they were revealed” (I’m assuming he was talking about Geno’s spirit?) I swear, there are some people really jumping at the chance to deconfirm Geno to the point where they’re making up new rules to deconfirm him.

Damn there is like no Square representation besides Cloud and Geno. Final Fantasy is such a big franchise but gets almost nothing in content. No assist trophies, only 2 songs, no icons, and no spirits yet all the other third party franchises do.

It is hard for me to imagine another square rep besides Geno due to how diffcult it must have been just to get Cloud.

Can’t really link it due to Nintendo taking down all the soundtrack uploads, but Monster Hunter is literally the only non-playable franchise in the game with a unique prefix for its song files. I forget if the others just use “misc” or have no prefix at all, but MH tracks both start with... well, “MH”.
From what I understand this has nothing to do with MH having a figher, but being third party. Non 3rd party franchises with fighters get labled with a letter like "A" for the Mario series. The Other category exists and is used for non third party songs that do not have fighters, but third party songs are labeled differently. With an abbreviation of the series. I don't think this means it has a playable fighter, just that its a third party series so they aren't labeling the music under "Other" with all the Nintendo songs....

Late to the party, but...same here! One of my first two RPGs, the other being, of course, SMRPG. I can't remember which one has the distinction of being first, so they're both sort of tied together in my mind, lol.

Mamma Mia, that's alotta icons. I like that Geno is ordered after Paper Mario. :) Why's there a Link mixed in with the Mario characters, though? Is that the order in-game?

Either way, way too many choices, here! I will likely go Geno, if only to make things easier. Sorry Helix...make room for the Starsend Savior.

Anyone notice the Absolutely safe capsule is listed next to the other Mother 3 villains? I kind of feel like that may actually be Porky's Smash Ultimate representation

Strange that Shantae is an icon, but Rayman isn't...

I'm sure it means nothing, but it is noticeable.

Sheik uses Geno spirit

1) Strange
2) Sheik was my Melee main, so nice
3) Geno is a Legend level

Assuming this is real

The party is fantastic, but Sheik and Geno have...what in common exactly?

You're damn right he's a legend.
Holy crap. Check the party that comes with her. Peach, Mario, Bowser...and White Kirby. :D

Why Sheik, though? That I don't get...
I see why. Sheik's neutral B fires needles, Geno fires pellets from his hand. They're similar, but it's just different weapons.
