I think Sakurai's comments are what really turned him into what he has become and made supporters confident/overconfident (whatever you wanna call it).Geno on the other hand is actually only at 15. I'm gonna be honest here I think the speculation about him is a little echo chamber-y. I don't want to come off as though I'm writing him off, but I would bet that his performance in the ballot doesn't match his perceived popularity on these boards. Simply because the attitude on the boards is that he is sort of inevitable. He's a bit of a speculation meme at this point I think, and that leads to people talking about him even when they care about other characters more and may have voted for them instead in the poll. Again, he is definitely very popular and a longstanding request, I just think his popularity relative to other popular contenders may be a bit overstated.
As evidenced by how omnipresent he is in this thread.
Like x1000; I am very familiar with Geno cause Mario RPG is in my top 3 fave games of all-time, but I really want Skull Kid in just because he looks cool, lol.Geno & Skull Kid are definately like the Bobba Fett's in regards to popularity and screen time.
Agreed, I should have mentioned that as well.Skull Kid, Gardevoir and Gothitelle (Gardevoir Echo... is Echo a proper noun? )

The tenacity is really notable though because he's basically the only character that hasn't been confirmed or disconfirmed that has had active support since even before Melee.Is he really that big, or is his fanbases just tenacious? I think both size and tenacity are important to what made the Big Three more than merely the top three. Right now Geno has a fraction of the posts that Ashley has, but like I said, I'm not sure if that's really a useful measurement.
