Ooh, opinions of the Square Seven? Let's see here:
Geno: Obviously, as a massive Geno supporter and SMRPG lover in general, I think my opinion here is pretty clear. I will say that I'm not sure how much leverage he has for Smash, given how old and unused a character he is. I'm of the opinion that I'd love a revival for him via Smash, but it doesn't necessarily have to be that. Bringing him back in the Mario series alone would be amazing. Just bring this boy back and please, for the love of all that is holy, bring Mallow with him, too. They both have so much potential with Mallow's at least being mostly realized in SMRPG alone, with Geno's being shoved to the wayside.
Crono: What can I even say? Chrono Trigger is such a classic RPG and what a lot of people think of when they think of the quintessential SNES RPG. Crono is just cool as hell, and I'd really like to see him in Smash. Given he has the same pitfall of old and unused that Geno has, however, I understand his chances are also abysmal. It'd be cool to imagine it happening, though... and the music that would come with him! Chills, man. Chills.
Sephiroth: I'm of the unpopular opinion that FFVII is... not that great. It's probably because I didn't grow up with it, but I just can't see the appeal. I was really happy for Cloud's massive fanbase when he got in, and I'd be just as pleased for Sephiroth's fans if he made it, too. With that being said, though, nothing about silver-haired pretty man really interests me at all. He does have nice move set potential, though.
Sora: Egh. For one, I really don't want Disney anywhere near Smash, not because of company meddling, but because I feel both worlds just... don't mesh in my eyes. It just doesn't feel right to me, y'know? I don't have much explanation for that other than just kind of an iffiness in my mind. It's also likely because of bias, as well, because I've just never seen the appeal in Kingdom Hearts. I'd be happy for his fans if he got in, but I can't say I'm not against his inclusion. Sorry, dudes.
Luminary + Erdrick:greasy hair nasty boy get yourself some tresemme Ah, DQ heroes. Classic silent protagonists. I can't say they make me hype at all, as I've never gotten into DQ, but DQ's legacy does make them deserving of a spot in Smash. I frankly think we would have gotten Erdrick sooner in particular if Square wasn't... Square. I personally don't care for them, but I care for their fans and would be happy for them if they made it. Their movepool potential is also really solid.
Slime: Now we have someone whose movepool isn't solid... because he isn't a solid substance! Haha. Anyway, naw, I love Slime. These little guys are so cute, and I could see Sakurai making a crazy move set for this squishy friend. Even in my neutrality for DQ, Slime is a character I'd legitimately like to see. Sure, he's a 'generic mook', but he's more on the level of Pikachu than Piranha Plant. He's a mascot character and deserving of the spot. Plus, look at him! He's so cuuuute.
BONUS ROUND - BUB: BUB!!
