I can see Geno, but I don't think he's a frontrunner as the race seems pretty even.
- Geno is Geno. He's the popular choice and the one supported by 'the word of God'.
- A Dragon Quest protagonist would be a sensible option as the series is one of the few left that has had lasting popularity since the NES (I know people bring up Ninja Gaiden, but I really think it is Dragon Quest that is the bigger series), especially in Japan where it's a big deal (and Sakurai's favorite game, from what I've seen posted in this thread, is Dragon Quest Builders 2). I can totally see someone like Erdrick working great. That said, I really don't know much about this series.
- Another Final Fantasy character is a bit of a dark horse, but the series has so many protagonists people love. Only around 40% of the Final Fantasy votes on the ballot were, reportedly, Cloud, so we could totally see someone like Cecil, Terra or Lightning here to pad out the Final Fantasy lineup. Hell, Noctis is in Tekken 7 so we could even get him.
I peg the chances of a Squeenix character at ~90%, and I think each option has roughly a 30% chance of happening.
Not necessarily my favourites, but...
Kanto: Dragonite
Johto: Tyranitar
Hoenn: Gardevoir
Sinnoh: Pachirisu
Unova: Genesect
Kalos: Pangoro
Alola: Tsareena
One of these things is not like the others. One of these things just doesn't belong.
There were a lot of arena games (including shovel knight lol) trying to make it out before smash bros.
I need that goose game.
I can't believe the game is called "Untitled Goose Game". Whatever those devs had while making the game is something I want.
Hopefully it will live up to the legends of Goat Simulator.
