Listen, I find it hilarious that Geno is called obscure still to this day.
Geno is LITERALLY Roy now, save for actually being in the game. Roy himself was popularized by Smash, only to actually be well known for this iteration of the game. His ACTUAL game never even made it to the west, where the series started with the game after his (a prequel to his game).
Now take Geno, a character who has been popularized by Smash, albeit his presence in a game is a bit different from Roy. Regardless, the popularization is what counts. Geno is even more notable than half the Smash roster. Many people who even care about Smash know about Geno because of Smash popularity.
So where does this leave us? Everything to be honest.
****ing of course his name is on the list with Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, and Sephiroth. By Smash standards, he's the literal BIGGEST character on that list. And SE is telling people Geno "is an afterthought" or "a lower priority" in comparison to the others? Really? That **** right there smells like reverse baiting.
You tell people who you possibly know that leak your stuff a character is "low priority" because, well, he actually isn't lol. This is THE ****ing character Sakurai want's in Smash. We have a fresh 2016 interview saying this. We have a Mii Costume with a unique splash that nobody else has.
It doesn't MATTER what people have to say about Geno and his obscurity, he's probably the most extremely relevant character to Smash itself. A decent chunk of the fanbase has wanted Geno for years. Nintendo knows it. We had a spokesperson confirm that recently.
Anyway its probably him or Chrono (or possibly both if Hitagi is at all right or legit), imho.
