I'm surprised that it's Sephiroth, but I can't say I'm surprised it isn't Geno. I had a feeling.

My only hope is that Geno's costume gets a nice upgrade, but that might be hoping too much. Still, Sephiroth is really sick. I cannot deny that.

Here's hoping Geno comes back some other way. Everyone here better campaign for a SMRPG remake or sequel!

We hoped but I seriously doubt we’d get 2 square characters, Geno’s most likely a deluxe mii costume with Sepiroth

I love all the passionate people that I’ve been with through this roller coaster, let’s hope there really is a remake coming at the very least

You guys know what's the most sad part? The trailer started exactly like I'd have expected Geno's trailer to be.

Well, I'm actually very happy about Sephiroth's reveal for many reasons:

1. He was my 2nd most wanted Square-Enix rep.

2. Our first 3rd party villain.

3. He just killed the "No unique secondary 3rd party reps" fan rule.

This is a big win for many of us because characters like Dr. Eggman, Tails, Chun-Li are on the table now.

As a big Geno supporter, I'm disappointed he won't make it in this time around (I mean, there's really no shot at this point, Squeenix had characters in both passes).

At the end of the day, I guess Sephiroth looks pretty dope and I'm excited to play as him.

I'm not too surprised cuz Sakurai keeps shifting the picks to Nintendo.

What I don't get is why it took so long for that Geno Mii costume to show up. I guess it's still theoretically possible for another Square rep but ehhhh who knows.

We will see in the future. He was trending on Twitter on earlier so if there's ever a Smash 6 I think there's a chance (and technically there's still a chance for this pass anyway, but those have gone down a bit). At least Sephiroth looks pretty cool!

And like we needed another Final Fantasy rep. Seriously, Sephiroth was like the one Square Enix character I would have been mad p****d got in over Geno. Now we're gonna be the laughing stock of every forum thread out their.

Should have known that evidence was too good to be true.

Another thing I find curious is that, the Smash reveal was literately the very first thing to be shown off at TGA. What if... there is still yet another surprise character reveal near the end (just like an E3 Direct would have)? 👀 Let's see this through.

Star Hill. Why do you ask?
Genuinely the worst possible choice. It's a real shame it wasn't at least Terra, Bartz, or one of the other loved characters throughout the series. Screw the rest of Final Fantasy, VII is all that really matters to S-E. What a sham.
I am actually ok with a villain 3rd party rep but the issue is it’s still freaking final fantasy 7

Yeah, that was a bummer. Better to get it out the way than to lead people on. I'm glad I can speak with my wallet though.
And tying Sephiroth with Final Fantasy and not Final Fantasy VII is just disingenuous.

I do gotta wonder what took the Geno mii costume so long to show up and those random Mario RPG songs missing and all those other hints. Just a coincidence I guess. Don't get why they didn't just release the costume earlier
