Meh... we alreay have Ike. If any other Fire Emblem rep. makes it into Smash, it should be the Black Knight. No other.

I think u'll unlock characters in story mode... so the princess u dont save becomes harder to unlock... cause she stays captured tilll later

I bet other bosses will be Ridley and King Boo... wonder if playables will be bosses... like Ganon or Mewtwo... or even Metaknight

Zelda seems much more important than Peach,hence the reason I would only save Zelda.

I would like it if it was something like:

When you save: Peach
What happens to Zelda: She becomes evil like in Twilight Princess and you gotta fight her later to unlock her.

When you save: Zelda
What happens to Peach: She becomes the Shadow Queen and you gotta fight her later to unlock her.

Diddy seems like a nimble character, which I like. I also think (whoever said it) that his final smash will be his guitar move. Since he has the Peanut Popguns, Donkey should have his coconut launcher. At least he'd have a projectile move for once. I'm pretty sure there will be other Kongs in the assist trophies.

Yoshi's final smash makes sense. It's how he became when he swallowed a mixed color shell. He had the fire of the red shell, the wings of the blue shell and when he landed he could do small earthquakes, thanks to the yellow shell. I wonder if he'll have this ability too.
I must admit it's much better than the yoshis stampede idea. I like the fact that his fireballs are bigger than Link ! WTF

well ive heard there are gonna be 40 total characters.can anyone tell me if this true?

A previous rumour said 42

I just got one question. IS IT ONLINE?

Nintendo said it would be, so I guess that's a yes to your question.

I'm pretty sure that they have confirmed it was going to be online which is kickass cause the AI in the other games where way to easy.

True



What he said is he's gonna try very very hard to make it online.

That's a lot of character! but I hope that rumor is true. :P

How many were in Melee?

There were 8 already unlocked, and 15 unlockable characters, so there were 23 total in Melee.

25 characters were in Melee (excluding Sheik). Sakurai confirmed that not every character will be making the cut this time, so I'm going to make a guess and say that most of the clones will be cut out (dr. mario, young link, pichu, roy, falco). That brings us down to 20 characters that will return from Melee. So far, we have 6 confirmed newcomers for Brawl (excluding metaknight and snake), that gives us 26. 15 more weeks of updates before the release date, which most likely means 15 more characters, 31 in total (assuming Sakurai gives us at least one character each week as he has been doing).

Sakurai stated that he would not confirm any unlockable characters on the DOJO until after the game has been released. There were 11 unlockable characters in Melee, so I think it's safe to say that's the minimum amount of unlockable characters that we will receive in Brawl, and there could be more. So, that gives us a thought-out guess of 42 characters appearing in Brawl total, which seems about right.

Quote off of someone from another site.

if there ARE 42 characters then i expect all the characters from melee will be in it.

Sakurai (the creator) said that not all of the Melee characters will be making it into Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Most likely all of the clones will be removed (dr. mario, young link, pichu, roy, falco). But Ganondorf has a good chance of returning, mm.

Pokemon Trainer...

B.S. name to the fullest! Why can't they just call him ASH?!

Because Ash is from the anime, which Sakurai stated would have no inclusion in this game. If anything, they should've named him Red. Why?, oh I don't know... maybe because they look exactly.the.same.

They couldn't name him Red, becuase that's what they call him in the comics. I think Pokemon trainer is a fine name without playing favorites. Because if you did name it ash or red, you'd have to put in misty, brock, gary/blue, etc.

well... misty was a trophie... they didnt call her "Cerulean Gym Leader".. it was Misty... I think the reason it wasnt called Red/Ash(which is a default name in the games too)/Gary etc. is cause they wanted it to extend to ALL versions of pokemon games... Stadium (the guy u use in stradium looks like "pokemon trainer"), Yellow, Leaf Green and Fire red, etc. etc.... if u call him RED he's obviosly gonna be identified w Pokemon Red...

wait... he said he wouldnt reveal any unlockables? Then Diddy and metaknight, and all those are defaults?Damn... then there really are a lot of characters

To be honest, i HIGHLY DOUBT there will be 42 characters playable in Brawl. Sure, that sounds awesome, but if they have too many people it might turn into a MKA.

I say around 30-35 range, but if the gameplay is solid then 42 is fine with me.

His name is Red. And Gary's "Blue".

if its a nintendo game u might not have blistering hot graphics, or super dramatic stories, but u can depend on solid gameplay!

then if there is gonna be 42 characters,they have to reveal alot more characters then they already have.or maybe he meant there are gonna be 42 characters but a couple of the 42 characters are not gonna be playable,there just gonna be bosses(maybe).
