I don't know. Timeline theory, maybe?
Benjamin Button Theory?
How about we don't since theories are a joke in this fanbase.
Thinking back on SMRPG, you are right. Geno kind of does nothing important to the plot. Peach has a whole section to the game focused on stopping her from being married off to Booster (and proving how she can indeed be able to save the kingdom as well). Mallow has the the Nimbus Kingdom arc. And Bowser gets focus throughout the game (showing him with gradually shrinking troops up until he eventually joins you, his gag in Marrymore, how various NPCs react to him in Monstro Town, and finally his homecoming in Bowser's Keep, with Magikoopa that raised him giving him an unlimited coin box). Mario himself might actually steal the show and is probably one of the most memorable silent protagonists in a game ever (he does a sort of Courage the Cowardly Dog emoting to explain things, and its a really funny riff on the silent protagonist arche-type).
November can't come soon enough
I think that's being much too confident. There's a reason why I commend @Bolderousness for his new SB bet, because it's one hell of a gamble this time around. He puts the BOLD in Bolderousness.
Geno's far from a lock. Without leaks or data mines, what basis do we actually have? That being said, I'm fairly confident in the prospect that if Sakurai had to choose another Smash Bubble character, it would be Geno. Just going off of what we have so far, am I crazy for thinking as much lol?I think that's being much too confident.

But no, I don't think that Geno is anywhere near a lock. I'd say it's just as likely for him to be a revamped costume as it is for him to be a fighter at this point. Trust me, as much as I personally want him and have a sentimental love for the character (trust me, it's way more personal than based on objective fact and I totally get why people wouldn't bat an eyelash over him rofl), I refuse to think that he's 'in' until I see it.
Frankly mate, this is just trying to fit a pattern by using faulty logic.Here's some notable stuff I've noticed or heard that are in his favor.
I don't think that all of those claims matter, but the fact that there are so many things that could be hinting at him intrigue me.-Fatal Frame, which is represented via the Yuri AT, is partially owned by Koei. This is odd, as all the other third party ATs are either from already represented series (Alucard or Shadow, for instance), from companies already involved (Konami's Bomberman, Sega's Akira, and Capcom's Rathalos) or from indie companies (Shovel Knight, and also Sans and Shantae as non-ATs). The only comparable thing I can think of are the #TMS spirits, who I imagine are partially owned by...
-Koei and Nintendo have been buddies recently. Pokemon Conquest, Fire Emblem and Hyrule Warriors, and Fire Emblem Three Houses either use their IPs, were partially developed by them, or even both.
-The DLC fighters appear to be releasing in Reverse-Chronological order to their debut.
If this holds weight, this means the next character will have debuted on or around the time of the NES. And Ninja Gaiden just so happens to be a classic NES series.
-Apparently, in the German version of Ultimate, there was only one Smash 4 veteran with a new Announcer voice-line. And that happens to be
None since I hate Miis and mii costumes. I'd rather have nothing than have a character I would like to see in reduced to that.
As I always say, at least Isaac fans got the assist trophy.
Said it in the Mii Costume thread, but I'd be down with a Segata Sanshiro Mii Brawler costume that comes with a full face-mask and his theme song, similar to what was done for Sans.
Megasmilax wasn't the only SMRPG piranha plant mentioned, they seem to have mentioned most differnt species across several games. Feel people are taking a joke about a nature's goddess being a plant nerd too far.
Rydia of Mist costume.
If we don't ever get Bill Rizer or the other characters from Contra, I'd like to see Mii Gunner costumes for them.
I got a couple that I thought of off of my head.
I still have hopes that Kunio and Riki might be full characters. But a step below them in terms of likelyness would be Billy and Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon, and I wouldn't mind those two getting to be Brawlers.
I'd love Master Chief as much as the next guy, but I think his chances are next to slim, so I'll gladly take a Mii Gunner costume as a consolation prize.
I don't think he's far down at all. He's like the top 5 along with 2B, Geno, Lara Croft, and Sora (who is owned by Disney, by developed by SE).
There's quite a few Capcom characters I wouldn't mind seeing get a Mii Costume - most of them have already appeared in MVC3 and would be fun to have a shout-out to other classic Capcom franchises.
Sorry, but the logic behind Hero falling into this reverse chronological timeline through average release years is so much of a stretch that not even Lanky Kong can stretch his arms out for you.Here's some notable stuff I've noticed or heard that are in his favor.

Honestly I'd be on board with Reimu getting a Mii Costume if she came with Bad Apple. Aside from that, I'd like Kasumi P5R, the house leaders from Three Houses, Master Chief, and Fortnite Jonesy for ****s and giggles.
WHY THE **** IS SLIME A MII HAT BUT NOT JACK FROST.
I think it'd be neat if Terry's wave of Mii costumes came with an Ikari Warriors outfit that could be worn by both Brawlers and Gunners.
Beat, if only for the possibility that he comes with music like Sans did.
at this point just give us multiple JSR Mii outfits, so we can get even more tracks.
We're gonna need a lot of costumes then, because there are so many JSR songs I'd love in Smash.
**** it just give us Tokyo-to as a stage with Castlevania levels of music
Meh...I prefer them as actual characters, rather than Mii fighters...but there are...allot of characters from existing franchises that I'd LOVE to see in Smash. Smash kinda gives me that opportunity to look up the games the fighters originated from and think up fighters. More Earthbound characters like Ninten, Porky, and Claus. Kid Icarus characters like Viridi, Medusa, & Hades to join in. A whole list of Kirby characters....Adeleine doesn't have a Spirit...yet she's from Kirby, so I cri she won't get in. Anyway uhhhhh...still want Mindna for a TP rep...and so on.
in. But if that were true Waluigi would've been in already.
Theory time: We end up getting 'Jane' (i.e. Kasumi Yoshizowa) as our first cross-promotion Echo to promote Persona 5: Scramble. Once 'Jane' is out, they add additional Sega/Atlus Mii costumes, including Jack Frost. Maybe some (additional?) Koei Tecmo (since P5 Scramble is a KT/Atlus collab) ones as well, assuming we get Hayabusa.
