Im here to say my humble opinion. As a long Smash fan since 1999 and SMRPG fan since 1997, I’m very happy for Sephiroth inclusion for the fans, and also because that guy deserves 100% that spot, being an iconic villain. Now FF7 will be so well represented.
On the other hand, and I hope I’m treated with respect as I treat people also, I’m 100% sure Geno (my most wanted character since I was 8 years old playing Mario RPG) will join the battle. I think, based on that there are 6 spot in FP2, he can be #79, having the two in the Half-Pass from Square, also coinciding with the SMRPG 25º anniversary next March, revealed at the end of February; OR, he can be saved later as #81, or a Bonus Full Fighter like Piranha Plant or even in FP3. All of this, of course, it’s a possibility if his costume doesn’t return with Sephiroth. If the costume does return next Thursday, Geno will be a deluxe costume like Sans; but, if the costume doesn’t show up, he is IN 100% IMO, saved for later as I said. There is no way this character won’t be playable right now cause all the insane demand, the whole evidence and the recognition of Sakurai.
Last, I’m from Chile and English isn’t native. Also, don’t throw me garbage cause this is just my opinion. And, even that Geno is my most wanted character ever, I already have playable my previous most wanted ever from childhood: Mega Man. So I’m very happy with each release of Smash, since 64. Smash Ultimate is already perfect even just with the Base Game and I’m very grateful and happy with that, I enjoy this game a lot.
Im just saying that I believe, not only based on what I call evidence, also my intuition, that Geno is indeed joining the party. And if that doesn’t happen, the game still would be perfect and Sakurai my idol. I’m just saying Geno is like the last cherry of the cake right now, and the stars will align for him.
Best wishes, have a nice day and may
THE STARS ALIGN AND GENO AWAKENS!
Also wanted to say hi to my fellows: [EXPUNGED] and all the Geno’s thread.
Have a nice day all
