I think Geno should be considered third-party, because as Ariand said, as it specifically stated that he was Square's property in the credits of MLSS, regardless of the fact that he had a tiny role in MLSS, and that Nintendo licensed SMRPG.
On another note, I see absolutely no reason why characters like Pichu are needed (wasn't he removed for being a clone anyway), and I'm getting very annoyed by how much attention minor characters are getting in this project. The way I see it, SSBM had 6 characters out of 25 that were the sole representatives of their series (Samus, Kirby, C.Falcon, Ness, Ice Climbers, G&W), and SSBB had 9 out of 35 (Samus, C.Falcon, Ice Climbers, G&W, Pit, ROB, Olimar, Snake, Sonic), only 2 of which were third-party. On that track, no more than 12-15 out of the 50-ish planned for this project should be the single representatives for their series, 5 at most being third-party. Unless we're going for "Super Smash Bros.+++ Representing Every Nintendo and Non-Nintendo Series Ever Made", that is. I could attempt to make a moveset explaining why I think Dr. Mario deserves a spot in such an expansive roster, but I know nothing'd ever get accomplished anyway, and as he is a clone, I'm all right with not having him.
Oh, how true.
Maybe both of these taken to an extreme, but there's a valid truth here. We've essentially obliterated the idea behind past rosters and made this Fantasy Smash 5.0.

I think this is the perfect roster. Especially if we want to get **** done.
