Almost all of my posts on these forums have been made in this thread. I am so assured that Geno will be in the game that I am treating him as if he has already been confirmed.

All I am waiting for is the announcement so we get a Specific Geno character forum. At that point I will create a LemonKing's Thread of Naysayers and invite everyone who said Geno won't be in to come kiss the Geno Alliance's feet.

Im jamming to the Fire Emblem music and looking for Geno topics at the same time. lol. We got 2 updates today! Yay! Im glad I found out what happened to Fox's ship after it was shot down. I saw a clip of it getting owned by The Halberd, if anybody hasnt seen it I have the link, but its all part of one video though. Anyway sorry for being off topic. Anybody think there will actually be a character update this week? Its gotta be the 12th new commer....but as for whether or not its Geno....

From http://nsider2.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13783&hl= <(Added this page to wiki)

"The legal situation surrounding Geno (and Vaati) is not the same as Sonic and Megaman. Yes, Geno is third party and owned by Square Enix but Nintendo really has more say in the character. Why? Because Geno was in a Mario game (a first party franchise owned by Nintendo) that makes him a Mario character. There's no getting around that. Because of this, Square Enix cannot legally use him outside of this context because (as the copyright says at the end of all Mario games) Nintendo owns all the scenarios that occur in the Mario games. Geno was part of the story in Super Mario RPG thus pulling him into the scenario AKA the story and plot points of the game. My point was proved both during the offical Melee and Brawl polls when Geno was, despite his legal situation, categorized as a Mario character and seperated from the other third party characters."

"Now that is cleared up, let me explain things further. Because Geno is a Mario character, Square Enix cannont legally refuse Nintendo the rights to him if they wish to use them nor use him outside the context of a Mario game unless Nintendo is involved with the project. In the end, Nintendo basically controls the situation surrounding him and that makes Geno pretty much worthless to Square Enix. For further proof of this, ask yourself this: Why was Geno in a Mario game that Square Enix played no part in developing? Mario and Luigi: Super Star Saga was developed by Nintendo and Alpha Dream. It is even questionable whether or not Square Enix recieved some of the profits based on Geno's inclusion in the game."

"Now let's compare Geno with Sonic. Sonic makes millions of dollars for Sega every year and is their biggest icon. Geno is a character that was playable in one game that sold about 2 million copies worldwide more then a decade ago and has basically been sitting in a filing cabinet since 2003. See a difference? I certainly do."

"So there you have it. Geno's legal situation laid out in black and white. Yes, Nintendo will still have to get permission to use him and probably have to pay a minor fee (would you like to compare the "rental" cost of Sonic's or Megaman's copyrights to Geno's?) for him but, in the end, Geno is very, very different from other third party characters."

This is a really great point you made here, any doubts I had in my mind about them not including Geno has now been lifted. I love you!

Geno should receive a spot in Brawl. He was a great character in Mario RPG. The story revolved around him, though he wasn't the 'main' character. He might as well been the main character, just not the main playable character.

I hope the Star Road hero enters into Brawl as a playable character.

I just thought about the SSE and how it could tie into geno and the star road in huge ways. Keep in mind that Kirby's Dream Land which meta knight hails from also plays a role in the stars, and dreams (if you played older kriby games you would know) oviously the halberd being a huge source of the evil in the SSE that has the kirby series taking a bigger role. Now these creatures are being created out of something evil, now if I recall correctally, all of the enemies you faced in SMRPG were creations of Smithy and his factory. Smithy could be aiding meta knight and the other evil characters to attempt to destroy mario and such once again.

Geno must make his return to ensure dreams are protected forever along with even a possible more important role this time. The connection could be much better than the one I described but seriously just think about how easily he could be worked into the story. Seeing Kirby and Geno team up is something that I could see happening to clearly. Bothing riding on warp stars into battle, come on nintendo confirm Geno already!
