While not really buying into it, I'll admit there's a possibility that the presentation might be getting worked on today. After all, Min Min's presentation was done since May, but held off. It could very well be the same for this. It’s July 8th right now where I am, so July 7th has already passed. But regardless, I’m definitely familiar with all this stuff with the number 7, even though I agree with pretty much everyone else it doesn’t mean much.

July 7th was the Star Festival in Japan, a Japanese tradition where people write wishes on strips of paper. Which ties really well with Geno who’s related to stars and wishes. Combine that with the next character being both Challenger Pack 7 and Fighter #77, and all DLC characters thus far (counting Piranha Plant) sharing the colours of the Seven Stars, and it was definitely a pretty crazy thing to think about.

Though nobody at least from what I’ve seen actually expected it to happen, and most Geno fans have kinda made fun of themselves with how much of a tinfoil hat theory it was (I personally like to see when a fanbase can happily poke fun at itself like that).

I can definitely see the presentation for whoever the next character is to be recorded around now, even if it doesn’t broadcast until 2 months from now. I’m pretty sure Byleth was recorded in November if I’m remembering correctly, so who knows.

In terms of other stuff, the next Spirit event was announced today for... Octopath Traveler. Combine this with the Mana Spirits from a couple months ago, and it really seems like Square-Enix is becoming more willing to play ball with Smash.

Even though the whole 7/7 thing is a pretty big 4D Chess type thing, there’s still plenty of stuff pointing towards Geno getting in without that. So things are still looking very good right now!
