Okay, first I have to say this isn't particularly representative, because scottnak quotes more than everybody. Way, way more.
Or at least way, way more than everybody who isn't me; I'm fairly comparable.
But anyway, it's very good in this case to have more stuff rather than less, because it should help us immensely in getting clarity of vision on what we think is deserving of a final thread summary. And some may back off on wanting to see full quotes rather than link clicks after seeing this, maybe. Shoot, for the sake of just a little bit smaller size, I'm only putting up what scottnak got out of the thread's first 1,000 posts rather than the full 2,500... Because he really, really quotes a lot.
After all, this post is going to temporarily look ludicrously enormous until I delete it, which I will after people can see what it looks like as a CASE STUDY. And just think, this is only from 40% of a single section of 2,500 posts. (Even if it is scottnak.
(I can
so much only because he knew he quoted a lot and said so when sending in his collections. >_>))
Finally: remember, I'm editing everything out of this post after we've made some decision on it. The final quote compilation isn't going up right now.

First post wishing for a character to be in.
bigmakstudios said:
Is anyone else hoping for NiGHTS to make it in? I am, tbqh. Here is my shitty attempt at making a "moveset" for him.
btw, imo, NiGHTS would be a pretty awesome addition. He could do some kind of acrobatic kicks/trips/punches for his A attacks... he could fly/hover above the arena in an arms-forward flying position rather than running... his ^B could be a paraloop, and when he reaches the top of the loop, he could go up, or wherever you pointed (like Fox's ^b). Also, any enemies inside the loop would be damaged. His >B could be a spinning boost attack. Instead of jumping, he could fly temporarily when you hold X. Also, he would be able to fly in any direction, rather than just left and right. If the SSB64 intros return, he could enter through an ideya palace. Also, his taunt could be bowing. At the least, he would be really unique. I just came up with a few ideas because I remember lots of people being extremely opposed to the idea of NiGHTS being in Brawl for some reason.

First post of the 'Horizontal Wiimote style' of dooooom
ant1532 said:
Does anyone else in here hope that the actually game WON'T have horizontal wiimote controls? That would mean it would GREATLY diminish the gameplay. :/
(for those who didn't see,

There's a horizontal wiimote under how to play... Hopefully for just Wii stylin)

Japan Time still not confirmed. People are waiting for the update 8PM PST...
WastingPenguins said:
Sakurai updated the site at 3am EST last night (that's 4pm JAPAN TIME:lol ), but I don't see why he would stick to that strict schedule. I'm guessing he'll update the site whenever he feels like it during the day.
So anyway... it's almost noon in Japan, anyone want to start another insane countdown for a random time chosen by us? We've been doing it for days, I don't see why not. :lol :lol

How the **** u gonna have a week long COUNTER to opening a site that doesnt even get all of the worthless info out of the way once the countdown is over? We waited so we could wait some more on stuff we already know.

Linkzg gives his hopes of what brawl's 1P mode would be like. FULL adventure mode!
Linkzg said:
I hope that Nintendo has a full adventure mode in single player, like I want to see worlds with seperate stages based around game series. It would be great to play in a Metroid themed world where you fight Ridley as Link.

More third party? Nintendo's gonna put worse?
Speevy said:
Oblivion said:
Personally, I'd prefer it if there weren't any third party characters, period.
Well, we know Nintendo is going to let us down with respect to putting lesser known fan favorites in there, like Olimar, Little Mac, etc.
So what else is left?

Why 'that blue 3rd party char' shouldn't be in...
TheGreatDave said:
Megaman has no character. This is my problem with half these third party characters, Nintendo's stuff generally has an understated likeability, even something as ****ing simple as Falco or Kibry is portrayed in such a way that they're welcome additions. Megaman...he's just a robot with a dumb face. Why would I enjoy seeing him? Look at him:
He looks retarded.

All the original chars staying in? What about Melee? Confusion abound!
Amir0x said:
grandjedi6 said:
Why would they get rid of Ness. In fact, knowing NA they would probably add a Mother 3 stage for the NA version only just to tease us :/
Well they said some of the original characters wouldn't be returning, and Ness seems like a suspiciously throwaway character for the worldwide audience. Even more so than Fire Emblem characters, which actually has been getting consistent releases in the US now.
Akai said:
Sakurai said that all the original characters from the first game will be back, so yes...
I heard the opposite. Or was it just characters from Melee not returning?

Phantom source for saying Mr. G&W is out? When approached for proof... nothing but a vague answer (
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6525154&postcount=831)
Chemo said:
Even though I don't care for them, I'd rather see the Ice Climbers stay and the clones (Pichu, Roy, Falco, etc) be removed... also, I'd like to see Ganondorf's moveset stripped away from him completely and rebuilt from the ground up as a totally new character (with a sword) as opposed to being a clone.
Too bad Mr Game & Watch was already confirmed to be out... as much as I didn't care to use him, he was pretty entertaining visually and had a very cool stage.
Chemo said:
Sakurai confirmed months ago that Mr Game & Watch was out. It's been too long for me to be able to find the story, but Mr G&W is gone and that is straight from the man himself. You can choose not to believe me if you like, of course.

Jigglypuff too weak to be used? Rebuttal! Other chars instead?

However a skilled player will beat the shit out of a newb with the lowest tier characters easily, so the point is moot. Why do people want to get rid of some of the more interesting characters? I personally say keep them all and keep adding more! More the better!
Another thing, They should keep all the clone characters but really go and make them more unique. Ganondorf for example, he deserves to be his own character for sure.
Are you sure about that?
Mewtwo has plenty of potential: the problem is that he's big, has a bad shield, AND is light.
Pichu? On one hand, he's harder to hit than Pikachu, and he's faster. On the other hand, he has no range, he doesn't have the power of Pikachu's smashes, a lot of the annoying moves pikachu has (tail spike and down smash) are completely nerfed with pichu, he has the most difficult shorthop in the game, and he's the lighest character in the game.
I would say the characters iwth the least potentialk in the game are Kirby, pichu, and Bowser, in that order (from best to worst)

fernoca said:
Well, rumors are pointing to Sheik..being eliminated. Apparently, because the Twilight Princess-Zelda is the one that will be in the game; she's going to have a sword and a bow/arrow....all moves are going to be magic-based (magic arrows, etc)..
Rumor so far...who knows.
DeceitDecide said:
Hooray for unsubstantiated speculation!
On a more serious note, if anything (to me) was going to indicate Shiek's removal from SSBB it would be some of the moves we've seen so far from Zero Suit Samus. Maybe it's just me, but some of her moveset seems Shiek-esque.
GaimeGuy said:
I'm just sick of seeing posts saying
"Hey guys, there's a rumor going around that sheik's going to be removed"
"rumor has it that ice climbers and G&W are out"
"Seems that there's a good chance marth and roy will be replaced!"
If you hear these rumors from somewhere, then say where. Don't just speak as if the winds blew a little birdy with a rumor your way.

ShockingAlberto said:
I think, by the time Smash Bros. launches, this will be the most tightly-knit thread on GAF.
Personally, in the interest of wanting the quotes to be sensible for the ages and just trimming down, I'd like to vote out the quotes of the following posters:
bigmakstudios (wanted NiGHTS in)
underfooter (didnt like the Dojo style)
Suburban Cowboy (same)
Linkzg (had been hoping for a full adventure mode)
Kafel (Link hunting Pikmin)
superbank (eye animation needs improvement)
GaimeGuy (didnt like the term Japan Time)
ant1532 (upping the ante on a match challenge)
Speevy (why more third-party characters should be in)
TheGreatDave (why Mega Man should not be in)
Talladega Knight and Vic (why Bubsy sucks)
AppleMIX (joke Master Chief being in)
Amir0x (thinking Ness could be gone)
Chemo (insists Mr. Game & Watch is confirmed out)
GaimeGuy (defense of Melee Mewtwo)
fernoca (thought Sheik was out)
DeceitDecide (still thought Sheik was out)
GaimeGuy (was tired of people insisting Sheik was out)
maybe Zeed (ban bet with WastingPenguins about Wind Waker characters being out; I can only call this something I'd "maybe" because Zeed became so fond of ban bets that its kind of a memorable thing for the thread)
BrodiemanTTR (Cho Aniki)
Stormbringer (bizarre reasoning on the Gooey Bomb being based on Gooey from Kirby (which it isnt))
So basically I'd be getting rid of 21 of these 32 quotes, assuming I'm counting correctly this
late at night early in the morning.
Incidentally, if you generally agree with what I'd cut and think I have decent judgment in this regard, tell me so, and maybe I'll just make some executive decisions on everybody's sections, or something, rather than continually editing this post with new sections for people to think about. Would make things a lot easier, admittedly, but I'd only do it if people truly felt that way. >_>
