This is quite a hard rumor to talk about. It involves spoilers if you are hiding yourselves from info on who did and didn't make it into the final Brawl roster. I guess I will explain the story after a jump, so that way people that don't want spoilers won't get one.
I thought the rumor of Geno in Brawl was an outlandish one, but some of the info in this story makes me think different. Awhile back, Sakurai asked Japan what characters they wanted to see in Brawl. According to Dpad, the top 10 fan picks made it into Brawl...minus Geno. Furthermore, they say Geno sat atop the list. The article also takes the final roster screenshot to push the rumor that Square-Enix was the reason Brawl was delayed.
They said that Geno was indeed in the game, but Square-Enix and Nintendo couldn't work out the final deal. That forced the delay, the removal of the character, and the odd placement of the random character box.
*Insert random angry comments here*
I almost cried after hearing that.
darn you Square-Enix its all your fault, delayed for nothing
NOOOOOOOO! WHY SQUARE ENIX WHY!?!?!?!?
Nintendo just isn't good at working out deals...
First Goldeneye 007 and now this.
Good Job Nintendo. :|
I bet there was plenty of people cheering for that random box from the begining though no matter what happened.
I am ready to shank the company more at fault with a knife covered in the blood of someone with aids.

Ok, in all seriousness, that's a joke. For those who don't know, and this will be the actual spoiler, there's 3 of the same characters in terms of a move set and Final Smash: Fox, Falco, Wolf. It's becoming a huge internet joke - so much so that I couldn't resist posting it. Many people think that the roster is significantly disappointing, mostly because of the lack of Geno. I thought that a joke might take some of the Geno stuff out of people's mind.'
..........I think this is a lie. The delay wasn't caused by this.

Oh, BTW Brandon, if you're a fan of DBZ, then you should know that Chrono Trigger was made by Square Enix AND by the creator of DBZ himself!

Yup, Nintendo would rather have Geno not in Brawl at all than let Mario have an extreamly small cameo appearence in a FF game in exchange for Geno being in.

I'm still sticking with my theory that the game was delayed from December 3rd because they wanted Galaxy to sell well.

Same with Naruto...
and can we PLEASE stop spamming!! >:( :P
are you sure that is true? i always thought the reason for the delay was negociating with Sega about putting Sonic in.
Curse you nintendo!
If Geno was in it would've made a 40 character roster (we technically have 39 characters now, we have 35 character boxes not counting random)
Geno isn't in. I'm glad.

Why?
He would be unique and he was really wanted.
i know nothing about Geno so i dont mind him not being in but having another character would've been better then a Random Box...

For once, I agree with you, Chris.
Anyways, I'm glad he's not playable. We have enough Mario characters.
well i say the more characters the better, unless they're all clones or we're talking about some random 3rd party character. Geno could've been cool, but i woulda liked Toad and Bowser Jr better

Toad was deconfirmed because of Peach's "B" move.
Anyway hmmm maybe it was, maybe it wasn't anyway any news on Megaman like anything about him?

Atleast you're not counting PT as four characters like some people. There's also 5 Pikimin so we got 44 now everyone's happy. :)
