You know, if Brawl was actually going to make its original Japanese date, we would know the roster by now.

Why?

Game gets sold in Hong Kong early, games get ripped, burned, played on mod chip Wiis.

Of course, with the recent release of a decrypter, people can actually see the files of the Wii ISOs. Now people intend to look into the file listings and figure out what's literally in the game.

Or just beat it?

 

[Scribble]

Well, bigger internet pranks have been pulled. Hell, if done properly, I must admit, it probably would be quite easy to prank a vast majority of the smash community.

Heh, it would be very easy :lol

Wasn't Luigi already confirmed at E for All? Unless this guy is talking out of his ass...

A Nintendo rep from the first Whobby confirmed there would be no delay, so I take all Nintendo rep "confirmations" with a grain of salt.

 

[Man God]

No matter how exactly you do it it would take at least 6 hours to get all the characters in Melee.

You'd have to:

Play 4 player for 5 hours.
Beat adventure/classic mode a ton.
Fight some wireframes for quite awhile.
Do most of the events.

 

[Golden Darkness]

Just also realized, wouldn't David Hayter's(Solid Snake's VA) interview be the first hint of Jigglypuff then?

Talking out of his ass.

Guess people don't realize this, but a lot of the "nintendo reps" at these types of things might just be outsourced to external marketing companies like they are in Canada. This is the company that does Nintendo tours and stuff in Canada:

yup, he must've done a great codec conversation about that one

Longer, actually. I think Mewtwo required 20 hours of in game time, and G+W only appeared after every other character showed up.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

The dude could only name 3 Nintendo characters off the top of his head and 2 of them were on the screen behind him. I wouldn't take anything he said seriously.

 

[BuddhaRockstar]

So it seems to come down to this: If we are to believe everything posted thus far, there is one character slot open.

Luigi has not been confirmed in this thread yet.

There is a picture of an Animal Crossing Sticker with part cut out that some people believe to imply means there is an AC character.

So what now?

end story.

Its not just a "sticker" Theres also you know the Smashville level. It would kind of be bizarre to have an actual level without a selectable representative in the game.

smh

Pictochat?

 

[sprsk]

Uhhh, 41 stages, 35 characters.

 

[Grecco]

Pictochat?

Pictochat isnt a game.

Uhhh, 41 stages, 31 characters.

you meant 35 right? Theres going to be more than one stage for characters.

 

[Firestorm]

Uhhh, 41 stages, 35 characters.

Hm. Well, multiple stages per represented franchise.

 

[Kusagari]

If Luigi is out of the game while fucking Wolf and R.O.B. are in then I think Sakurai must have went mentally insane.

 

[PkunkFury]

I wonder what Snake will say about ROB? is he some new metal gear?

 

[Scribble]

I hope the upcoming update fuels our speculation =P

 

[ratcliffja]

Uhhh, 41 stages, 35 characters.

The amount of characters versus the amount of stages really shouldn't be taken into consideration due to the fact that there are multiple characters for some franchises, and there are multiple stages for franchises we know only have one representative (Metroid, e.g.).

 

[ggnoobIGN]

Who the hell is saying Luigi is out? I see nothing of that sort...

 

[Keru_Shiri]

smh

Relax, it was more of a joke aimed at how gullible some of the smash community is.

 

[Mockingbird]

Uhhh, 41 stages, 35 characters.

That logic fails because some charas could have multiple stages. But a better point would be that in SSBM Final Destination and one other stage had no character representation.

I wonder if any of these 41 stages are adventure mode exclusive like the Metal Mario stage in the original smash.

 

[Iam Canadian]

Luigi's not out of the game.

Remember: he's Luigi. He puts the Bros. in Super Mario Bros.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Luigi's not out of the game.

Yeah except every game has been named after Mario only since the 3rd one. :lol

If Luigi is cut, my faith in Nintendo is destroyed.

 

[Firestorm]

One of my friends was so sad to learn Doc probably wasn't in it. He figured at least Luigi would be in. Now what if Luigi isn't in

 

[PkunkFury]

One of my friends was so sad to learn Doc probably wasn't in it. He figured at least Luigi would be in. Now what if Luigi isn't in

if Reno listed all newcomers, that last spot belongs to Luigi, MewTwo, Doc, Pichu or Roy.

Take a guess who is getting it...

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Get your friend on suicide watch.

 

[Juwanna Peezadis]

This one shocked me as well. I figured Mewtwo would return on the basis of A)having a unique moveset and B) being a villain. I don't keep up with the Pokemon show, but I'm pretty sure Lucario is not a villain.

Mewtwo isn't a villian either.

 

[BrodiemanTTR]

Wow this thread blew up. What happened?

 

[Iam Canadian]

Mewtwo is a villain in the games.

 

[Keru_Shiri]

Mewtwo isn't a villian either.

Well, he teamed up with Bowser and Gannondorf in Melee, he was a villain in his movie, and he destroyed the lab on Cinnibar Isle after going berserk in the game. I mean, he ain't exactly a good guy.

 

[MindCollizion]

I wonder what Snake will say about ROB? is he some new metal gear?

I bet thats the only reason they put ROB in, too! :lol
... that is, if he is in.

 

[ratcliffja]

Roy's our boy! Roy's our boy!

 

[PkunkFury]

Dojo changed update 'daily' to update 'periodically'...

maybe they are mad at us

 

[Juwanna Peezadis]

He's clearly just misunderstood. =(

As for the animated adaption, at the end of the movie, Mewtwo sees the error of his ways and repents. In the sequel, he's living peacefully with the clones and supposedly fighting crime in the city by night or something.

 

[Man God]

Longer, actually. I think Mewtwo required 20 hours of in game time, and G+W only appeared after every other character showed up.

Gametime per human character. 5 hours times 4=20 hours.

 

[Firestorm]

It said that before as well. At least that's what I remember it saying before...

 

[Cynar]

Dojo changed update 'daily' to update 'periodically'...

Haha, I just thought that same thing :lol

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Sakurai's note always said "periodically." The Update in the news always said "Daily." Nothing's changed, that part went down when the game was delayed.

 

[Innotech]

if the puff is in, then I pretty much got all the characters I wanted

 

[Innotech]

you guys are this games #1 buyerbase. dont you think Sakurai would take measures NOT to piss many of you off with changing the update period?

 

[suaveric]

bummer that they threw in Wolf and not a Mii character. How cool would it have been to play with yourself in Smash?

bummer number two that they also didn't have an AC character.. i could have lived without ROB

 

[PkunkFury]

yeah these two really sting. I can't believe there's no Mii or AC rep. I'm guessing someone at Nintnedo did not want either of these characters to be depicted violently. there's no way Sakurai didn't want them in, since he has a great sense of humor

 

[Rindain]

It strikes me as very, very odd that Sakurai would put Wolf in over Ridley, especially if they are keeping Falco. Ridley has been a villain in nearly every Metroid game since 1986. Metroid needs a representative other than Samus. Ridley ranked very highly on Sakurai's poll. Plus Ridley is an awesome space dragon.

I'm still holding out hope that MarkMan is wrong.

 

[Artanisix]

If ROB is to be true then count me extremely excited. I'm very curious to see how he'll play.

 

[Zek]

Man, they would both be terribly bland characters. Oh look, it's generic-guy-that-swings-around-tools.

 

[PkunkFury]

swinging around tools is generic?? what fighting games you've played have characters that attack with a shovel and a fishing pole? because I'd love to pump some quarters into that arcade

Plus a fightable Mii would've been a great create-a-fighter. I looked forward to seeing some of the crazy stuff people create for the mii vote channel hitting the online battlefield. Would keep the character roster fresh for years. Really, they were two of the best choices, and I'm sure Sakurai knows it. I can only think that they weren't allowed to be hit with swords

 

[Talladega Knight]

Yeah except every game has been named after Mario only since the 3rd one. :lol

If Luigi is cut, my faith in Nintendo is destroyed.

Did you forget about Super Mario World (SMB 4 in Japan) and New Super Mario Bros for the DS?
