I feel that while he most likely won't be showcased tomorrow, I do think that Geno will get a bone thrown his way, and finally be added to Smash Ultimate eventually.

-Smash Ultimate has been heavy on fan service. And out of all the long time fan requested characters Smash has seen, Geno's up there among the likes of Ridley, and King K. Rool, and Banjo & Kazooie, who were all added in Smash Ultimate. In fact, I think the 4 of them could be thought of as like the godfathers of fan requests, so seeing all of them together in this game would be a godsend.

-People guessed his Mii costume would return with Hero because of them both being properties of Square Enix, and the costumes for Tails and Knuckles came back alongside Joker, since Sega owns Atlus. However, that didn't end up being the case with Hero, and the fact his costume STILL hasn't returned is strange.

-Sakurai himself has said he's personally wanted to add Geno since Brawl, and he said in Terry's presentation that being relevant doesn't matter, as long as the character is fun to play as, a description that would no doubt fit Geno perfectly.

Bottom line is that I don't think that Sakurai will stop adding content for Smash Ultimate without adding in Geno somewhere, it really feels like he's eventually going to make it in, in my honest opinion.
