While I'd be disappointed if Geno isn't in (and I personally think this might be the final nail in the coffin), I...don't fully understand some of the sentiments here.
Believe me I understand being disappointed. However...there's....a lot more to this game than just whether or not Geno is in it?
I've seen multiple people saying they wont play the game and that all the DLC sucks, etc etc
I dunno'. That just feels childish. It sucks that a character we've wanted for AGES (for some people here, they're not even old enough to remember Brawl speculation!), but that doesn't stop the game from being amazing, nor does it stop the DLC from being exciting (Joker and Erdrick are both cool and there's still 3 more characters after that.)
I just feel like, if you're going to completely disregard a game with 75 characters by the end of it's lifetime because 1 character isn't in, you...may need to re-evaluate why you want the character in the game in the first place. Let's face the facts, even IF Geno ever makes it in Smash, it's not going to result in some resurgence in the character, as amazing as that would be. I wouldn't even imagine Geno would remain in the next Smash: easy to tell the only reason Cloud wasn't cut is due to "everyone is here"
I dunno'. I'm a bit tired and you're all free to feel however you feel, and as someone who's wanted Geno for as long as I can remember I'm sad to not see him, but...completely disregarding all of Smash Ultimate because Geno isn't in it just feels...somewhere between childish, and silly.
