Honestly, no. I know when to get my expectations up, and this is not one of them. The stats don't align up with Geno. However, I still am hopeful of a second season pass or Sakurai throwing a random free character download in the mix during the first five dlc, that character being Geno of course. Either that or another poll, which if that's the case we need to go all out.
Really? I see the stats ad height matching up with Geno more than any of the other SE names that have been thrown around.
There's no way Geno would be a bottom heavy character. He wouldn't even be a mid weight character. Also the sliding effect doesn't seem like something that would be good for someone who is as fast as Geno is. I can see the height, but the rest are obvious red flags that just doesn't add up for Geno.
Because he’s made of wood? To be fair the sliding would be weird on most characters that have been suggested as Brave. I don’t see a specific reason why Erdrick would be sliding for example.
He's a doll, plus he's a glass cannon in game. Making him anything over lightweight wouldn't make a whole lot of sense, especially when sakurai pays a lot of attention to small details like this and making him like he was in SMRPG.
Well people are already going with they can always change the stats. The floaty and sliding don't reflect a heavy character I will give you that. It might be them toying with weight to see what happens.
I know Brave could be anyone, but weight logic doesn't seem to apply in Smash. Aren't you forgetting that Mewtwo is literally one of the lightest characters in the game but canonically 269 pounds? Charizard is only 200 and even heavier than Mewtwo in Smash. I mean, Geno's easy to pick up when he's a doll, but we have no idea how much he weighs in his grown form. In fact, NOBODY even has a specific weight for Geno, not even Square themselves because they hardly even bother to give him or Mallow an official weight.
I'm thinking it won't be a SE character at all, never mind most people here being scared of the Eddy boogieman.
Guess who was among the third party suggestions?
Also, I feel sorry for that one guy who wanted Thomas from Kung Fu, his dream is certainly impossible now...
As much as I hate it, I'm gonna have to say no. I think it's either gonna be Erdrick or a non-SE rep, unless there's a new SMRPG or Geno game that has something to do with "brave". I'm still thinking that brave is a codename and it wouldn't make sense with it being Geno. I suppose that the stats could match-up close to what Geno could be like if he was in, but that's about all that's going for him being brave, and the same could be said for a lot of other characters.
Another one to add to your point is I don't see Erdrick being a zoner either.
What’s a zoner?
A character with projectiles that can keep you at bay.

your nindies showcase rumor came true it’s gonna come out tomorrow in the UK meaning we’ll get another nindies in the US next week and a direct in February. from here on out your the only person I can trust. Congratulations let’s hope that geno rumor is true as well
The biggest problem I see with this is that if you had asked most Geno fans before what kind of stats Geno should have they wouldn't have made him heavy. He's a glass cannon and a puppet, neither of those things really scream heavy to me. You can talk all day about how he could be that weight but the fact that up until the weight started to point away from Geno most people wouldn't have thought twice about him being light.
Tbh I can give any character the benefit of the doubt for weight, as it is pretty inconsistent in Smash. For example, Mewtwo is one of the lightest characters in Smash, despite being really heavy in Pokemon, weighing about 269 pounds. Charizard is heavier than Mewtwo, but lighter than him in Pokemon, weighing 200 pounds. Ike and Ridley are the same weight, with Piranha Plant being heavier than both if them.
Again I'm not talking about their canon weight, Mewtwo makes sense being light and floaty because of his glass cannon nature and his psychic powers. Charizard makes sense being heavy because hes big and bulky and he was supposed to be the "heavy" option of the Pokemon Trainer's Pokemon.
Well sora has a keybalde which is a sword and this character is a zoner I don’t think it’s him either
There you have it. Smash weight is different than people expect it to be. Just because people think he has a certain weight doesn't mean he will be that same weight in Smash.
This is what I was thinking too
Bro, you got the same story as me. Let’s keep gunning to get them both into the ultimate smash!
This is extremely unlikely. If we are going off of the word of leakers, Tansut specified they would have male/female alts which does not apply to Dai.
You're joking right? You're not suggesting that someone with as many projectile options as Sora can't be capable of zoning just because he has a key sword? Yikes.
We still haven't seen a source that confirms that those initial speeds were actual data mines, to be fair. Not that I disagree with the ability for them to change over time of course, just pointing that out.
Probably because he needed a speed buff I’m pretty sure the size hasn’t change so we should be fine for now
Yeah but the speed change sets a precedent for stat changes of any kind. Not arguing for/against any characters, but it's just something people should be mindful of.
Not that I'm expecting Sora but I would like to at least mention in Kingdom Hearts 3 his keyblade is shown to be a transforming weapon turning into stuff like dual pistols and what not
That too indeed.
You know that compared to Cloud, Brave is exactly Sora's height (It's the same as Lucas), couple that with the really floaty jumps and the fact his Valid form is called Brave form in Japan and I'd say his chances are looking pretty good.
Mizumi's tweet about the current speed ratings: https://twitter.com/_Mizumi/status/1080971781790416896?s=20 contrasts with the info found by dataminers that was posted on kurogane hammee
Thanks
Lucas is a tad short, I would put Sora somewhere between Pit and Shulk on the height chart.
Maybe but personally I'm just gonna hang tight and wait to see what happens. If Sora is in I'll be hyped but if Geno is in I'll be hyped for the Geno fans and so on for each character on the list. Though if it was Crono though I would probably faint from pure joy, but this thread isn't about him so I'll just leave it at that.
Because he’s wooden and has metal in him? Plus his cannon?
