Nah I see where you are comming from, but I don't get the "too many characters" defense. Mario = Nintendo as much as Ronald Mc Donald is Mc Donalds. There could be 10 Mario Reps and it would be warrented.If Chihiro Fujioka (producer of Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy Legend III and several AlphaDream titles) and Square-Enix don't want Sakurai to add Geno into SSBB as anything, then Chihiro Fujioka might let Sakurai use DeMille from Tomato Adventure instead, because |1.| DeMille was mentioned twice in Sakurai's SSBB poll, |2.| Tomato Adventure is the only Nintendo-published title produced by Chihiro Fujioka that isn't a Hamtaro or Mario title, and |3.| DeMille has a large amount of moves for Sakurai to choose from, including some that look similar to the Final Smash moves.
Just because Geno appeared in M&L: SS, doesn't mean he'll enter SSBB. He was added as a reference to Chihiro Fujioka and his works (including M&L: SS and its sequel), just like one of the costumes of Jill in Drill Dozer being a reference to Pulseman. I understand that Geno is one of the most-wanted characters for SSBB, as well as one of the most popular Mario characters, but here are some things that will decrease his chance at entering SSBB:
* He is 3RD-Party (duh!). Even though Sonic, Solid Snake and some of their friends and foes are in SSBB, I assume that Sakurai will only let SSBB represent two 3RD-Party franchises. Of course Geno is more than a 3RD-Party character, which he is also a Mario character, but read these next two things.
* He probably won't look good in SSBB without Mallow or any other original character from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
AND
* SSBB has enough Mario characters. There were four Mario characters in SSBB, excluding clones and characters that are more than Mario characters, which is perhaps the largest amount of SSB characters a franchise could get.
I'm neither a Geno fan nor an anti-Geno person or whatever, but these are my predictions. Flame me if you want, but flames don't bother me much. I'm seriously bored of them.
Personally, I think they can both be in.
