Square Enix is an esteemed video game developer responsible for many classics strewn across multiple platforms. You're delusional if you think that Square Enix isn't influential.

I guess I never understood the whole thing with Geno myself. Compared to the rest of the cast of Super Mario RPG, I always found Geno to be the least interesting character in the game and was really just there to mostly explain things that the other characters couldn't know.

And who knows what Nintendo'll buy. Sega is doing fine as a third party company anyway, and don't need to be bought out. They're not like some other ones who are doing beyond awful, like Capcom have been.
There are other contributing factors than that. Lately SEGA has been highly supportive of Nintendo, making a lot of Nintendo exclusive games. And I would not say they're doing just fine, they could be doing better. There are reports saying that they have been firing a lot of workers lately, that's not "just fine"

He is a game breaker, without any extra items required to do so. So that might influence people. Also, he's the only one to get a cameo in a later game, so it sounds like he might be the most important or most recognized by Nintendo/Intelligent Systems. And possibly players alike.

I found Mallow more interesting myself, but I can understand why people like Geno. As a person who favors gameplay, he was pretty neat. Also, playing as a living puppet was not super common among most games either.

I don't buy they're super important to Nintendo. Notable, but that's it.

And even so? That is irrelevant to getting a third party character into Smash. If Sakurai thought that was important, he would've specified so in his third party criteria. But he quite blatantly did not. They just had to be unique(easily seen as notable), have a Nintendo appearance, be "special"(this is the only addition as of Smash 4, but this does not designate "important to Nintendo" in any way), not originate from a Manga/Anime. Anything else is just made up stuff people like to use to destroys the hopes and dreams off or out there choices. Also, keep in mind many predict Pac-Man, who is quite blatantly not very important to Nintendo at all. They had one game co-developed with them. And that's it.

I guess it had to do with him being "cool" or something like that.

Two things I wanna say about the Mario Kart 8 roster and this screenshot:

1. It would be AT LEAST 30 characters. It could easily be more, I remember Mario Kart Wii started with the character select screen looking small with only a few ? spaces, THEN you unlocked the characters in them and the character select screen expanded further with more ? spaces taking their place.

2. I think it is possible Dry Bowser is one of them, since we have Bone Dry Dunes, a track that has the big cave shaped like Dry Bowser. The only thing keeping Dry Bowser out of there is if Nintendo decided to pull a Mario Kart 7 and have it so that despite there being a track obviously designed after a certain character, said character isn't actually playable (Waluigi and Waluigi Pinball). But since 8 doesn't appear to be rushed like 7 kinda was, I have a hard time believing that's the case.

You get off for about a day or so and everything is out of whack and you get confuzzled.

And is Clifjumper claiming Nintendo is going to buy Sega AGAIN? Do I have to say how business works again as well? ._.

That Nintendo buying Sega rumor has been around forever. I doubt it'll happen at least at this point in time. Maybe when Sega has run itself into the ground...

Yeah, but it never made sense until recently, and to be honest, SEGA's already getting into trouble. People say they're doing "just fine" but they've been firing employees a lot lately, that is not "just fine!"

Not gonna lie, that was random.
Last night I dreamed that a bunch of white syndicated thugs broke into my newly bought house to kill me and pillage everything. In one of the dressers that were left behind from the previous owners I found a Beretta PX4 Storm, flare, and combat knife which I used to kill them with.

People just think that he's owned by Nintendo just because his debut game is Nintendo. It was actually codeveloped by Square Enix, a third party company that's not at all famous, so Geno is a third party character. Square Enix has been experiencing financial problems recently, but that means nothing to smash, because Sakurai wants third party characters that are famous and important to Nintendo.
I think that people found out that Geno was third-party during Brawl's development, since he was one of the top characters on Sakurai's poll.

And, Square is a very famous company. I didn't know they were having financial problems, but I can see that. But, I don't see how that is important for Smash.

I dreamed once that I was at a thrift store, and I found a BIN of Mr. Saturn plushies. I grabbed the biggest one (or closest to the real size of Mr. Saturn) and went to the check out. Only while purchasing it I realized it was a pink aardvark. I walked back to grab another, and some guy made off with them. Yes, every single one.

I had one weirder.
It was just filled with dullness. Fueled by boredom and repetition.
There was no reason to continue forward, but I did. Like clockwork.
Just day after day of the same monotonous tasks. Saying it drained the soul is an understatement.

...Wait, we're talking about dreams?

How about something a bit more relevant?

A lot can happen since 2012.
You're only trying to discredit me, aren't you? There's more evidence to Nintendo buying up SEGA than what you're trying to point out, you don't like it, then take your anti-SEGA bias somewhere else

Then provide the evidence that you say exists.
First off, there have been COUNTLESS Nintendo-Exclusive games made by SEGA lately, such as Sonic Colors, Sonic Lost World, Bayonetta 2, and pretty soon we're getting the Sonic Boom tie in games for 3DS and Wii U

And the ties between Nintendo and SEGA show no sign of deteriorating, so their ties are probably the strongest of any two big-shot Videogaming companies alike, plus they're part of each other's history. Especially with Sonic appearing in a lot of crossovers with Mario, which has been going on for SIX YEARS now.

You still don't like it, the take your Anti-SEGA bias somewhere else

What an asshole.

Yes.

I had another dream before where I was playing Smash 4. The starting roster had 40 characters with 12 to unlock, as in Brawl. There starting roster was every website character to date + yet unannounced veterans and that Takamaru guy I don't get.

Oh! I was talking about my life! Sorry about that.

Though for the most part I generally don't get dreams. And when I do they're quick.
I do remember having this one dream where I played some Pokemon game. It had the graphics of the 3rd gen Gameboy games with some Pokemon I didn't recognize.
It was so long ago though, so I wouldn't know.
