@LC:
Did they really change Robotnik to Eggman because its derogatory to Russians?
It was always Eggman in Japanese, Robotnik was an American thing.

It'd be dumb as fuck for Nintendo to NOT release Brawl before Xmas, so if they're smart it'll be pushed back like only a week or two. Or so I hope.
Anyway, those bits at the end of the video - maybe they'll do special character specific intros for team battle? Bowser and Peach dancing for example?
They don't have to release Brawl before X-Mas. It'd hurt their sales if they didn't, sure, but it's not like people will shit in Sakurai's mouth and refuse to by the game.
Am really hoping this isn't delayed, though, since Warhammer Online also might be delayed, as well. Don't want to wait on both of the, personally, most anticipated games for the end of this year/beginning of next year.

The more time they have to fix the game the better. I'm not getting a game with glitches or fucked up stuff.
Sonic looks awsome (real awsome), but I want my Ness and Jigglypuff. laughs at people against Sonic
I'm happy that the Ice Climber are going to be in. I could care less about the inline because I'd have no one to play againist. Any thoughts for the possible third third party caharcter that will be in the game?
Megaman?
He's the only other person I can think of, but that's Capcom, though I think he can make it in.
EDIT: Oh, and maybe NiGHTS
Bomberman all the way.
There's only going to be one more third party character, unless Sakurai changed his mind adding "one or two more."
Classic Megaman seems to be the best choice. It better not be X or Zero. Fuck that bullshit.
Yeah, at the moment, Megaman and Bomberman seem most likely (Megaman being the heavy favorite)
Simon Mother Fucking Belmont.
Simon Belmot would be really neat, but we already have a Konami character. Not that there's a rule against two from the same company, but Sakurai would probably prefer to spread out his hands amongst as many varying icons as possible.
He konami though. It's unlikely they do two 3rd parties from one company.
I got a good feeling about mega, He got a long history with nintendo, a huge list of movepool possiblities, and even been in a fighting game before. But I thought he would fit in great since SB64, so I'm a bit biased.
Edit: My god I'm a slow replier. Tried to reply to the dude, and I was still 5 mins behind gohn.
Taizo Hori from Dig Dug or Bob from Bubble Bobble would be nice.
@The:
Simon Mother Fucking Belmont.
Jeez, I thought you were talking about Simon from TTGL. That tells me I've been watching it to much.
images his Final Smash, summoning TTGL.
Hey you know the game icons that are next to each character's name? (Mario-Mushroom, Mother-Earth, Pit-Bow+Arrow, Link-Triforce, etc.)? Well let's see what we have so far:
01 - Smash Bros
02 - Donkey Kong
03 - Starfox
04 - Kirby
05 - F-Zero
06 - Metroid
07 - Earthbound/Mother
08 - Pokemon
09 - Zelda
10 - Mario Bros
11 - Yoshi
12 - Fire Emblem
13 - ??
14 - Ice Climbers
15 - Animal Crossing
16 - Wario
17 - Metal Gear
18 - Kid Icarus
19 - ??
20 - Sonic
So that's at least two franchises yet to be clarified. Who knows, there could be a 21.
Could be Punch-Out and Castlevania. Or maybe Megaman and Golden Sun.
I still have my vote for Goemon if we ever get a second Konami character.
I've heard that 13 will most likely be Mr. Game & Watch, since it's in the middle of the "old" series and G&W is the only franchise that has yet to be reconfirmed.
I think the "missing icon" will either be Pikmin, Rockman, or Punch Out!
one Konami character I'd love to see that'll probably never get in is Sparkster. I really miss that series. :(
If any Konami character got in, it'd be Django. [/baseless and terribly unlikely possiblility]

We already have one Kojima character, we don't need another.
@Cyringohn:
People who thought Smash Balls were "once per match" were being kind of dumb, to begin with. Nothing on the website stated such.
Exact quote:
The Final Smash is a secret skill that can be performed but once…and only after obtaining an item called the Smash Ball, which is a precious item, indeed.
There may as well be multiple smash balls, but what would happen if you got a second one?
Exact quote:

Too bad that quote never stated that there was only one Smash Ball per match.
Uh, use a second Final Smash? It's not that fucking hard to figure out.
My personal guess is that you can hold your final smash until your ready. I suspect that you can use it more then once, but it be really rare.
Notice in the new vid first fox seems to suicide to get a smash ball, and then later the landmaster is around, but the bridge is repaired, and the health is all different.
course it could be from a totally different smash ball or even a whole new fight.
Here's how Final Smash will probably work:
Smash Balls appear infrequently. If you pick one up, it basically sits in reserve [an icon probably pops up near your health meter, your character glows, etc.] until you decide to use it. Simple as that. The text for Mario's Final Smash pretty much confirms that you can "hold them in" until you want to use it, since it talks about positioning yourself and shit.
And yeah, the Fox thing was a splice of two different events. He was going to die after grabbing the Smash Ball.
There may as well be multiple smash balls, but what would happen if you got a second one?
The answer is simple: You explode.
Sonic for smash baby!!
Update: Sonic's specials. Spin Dash and Spin Charge essentially looking ot be the same thing is lame. Is it just me or does it look like Sonics's Up+B gives him a huge vertical recovery?
I thought that his downward kick thing was going to be his Down+B since it seemed like a very sudden move for just a Down+A. (Perhaps his Neutral B?)
We already have one Kojima character, we don't need another.
Couldn't tell I was joking, eh? Do yourself a favor and don't become a judge.
Spin Dash and Spin Charge look exactly the same. Yeah, Sonic's a really unique character.
the Difference between his Forward and Up B are that the Forward is slower and you can jump at the end of it, and the down is Faster and you can't
It looks like they're going Classic Sonic then, if not he'd have the homing attack in there.
Forward B seems like a Recovery too :
"Then keep pursuing with a midair attack!
And do a Spin Dash in midair to return.
That, too?"
and that his Down B just lets doesnt pop up just go straight.
Not sure if this is old or Not but. CHECK THIS OUT~~!!
We May just have COVER ART PEOPLE!!
EDIT: So apparently, it IS old, but for anyone like me who haven't seen it yet, there ya go
You're at least a month late. It hasn't even been confirmed as it it's real or not. It looks more like a working box than a final one, since it's kind of strange looking.
Wohoo! Sonic's move set,I like how we can use the bumper

Oh yeah where the heck is RockMan/MegaMan?
That's a pretty crappy mock-up. Besides, I've never even heard of it.
HORRID Mockup Job, Seriously.
#1: you didn't change the date, we already know Oct 10 was Sonic
#2: You didn't Font-match his name to the Actual Font they use for that
#3: no Icon for his game
#4: From what We've seen so Far, Smash does NOT have ANYWHERE NEAR that much Bloom effects
#5: He has No Shadow, all of the Smash character Pics on the Site Have a Shadow, just look at Sonic
My diagnosis: MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF FAIL!!
I hope the rumour about Viewtiful Joe being in game was right since sonic is in the game (awsome). I wonder what stage will be sonic and lucas.
Viewtiful Joe just wouldn't be Viewtiful Joe without his VFX powers, something that would hinder the gameplay of Brawl imo.
Having Akira Yuki in Brawl would be a fucking dream come true, despite the fact that he doesn't belong in the game.
Hakkyoku-Ken is composed of victory.

Final Smash: The Stun Palm of Doom!
I know this may too early to say this (since we haven't seen Sonic's neutral special or if the Air^+Special is different like Mario's Tornado Attack) but THANK GOD SONIC DOESN'T HAVE HIS HOMING ATTACK!!!
In Sonic's 3D games it would cause stupid premature deaths, but in a fighting game it could turn out to be the most broken move ever (since Sonic Team isn't doing the programming).
Edit:
@Demon:
#3: no Icon for his game
Yes he does, its the darkened big head of his.

Hard to tell. Looks more like a b.air, though.
Here is an interesting question. I don't have a Wii yet but I plan on trying to get one come the time. My question is this, does the Wii have a harddrive type thing? Sort of like the PS2 then? Then I wonder if it would be possible for them to sort of make future updates after the game goes live. Like a new character or something per month. How cool would that be?
Yes, they could do that, if they wanted; there's already been patches for things like the European release of Mario Kart 64.
However:
As having no experience with WIFI I'm not sure of the pain to download thing. All I know of for patching is the basic patches from various MMO's. Thats a shame too. Who knows Sakurai seems bent on making this game insanely good. Oh well It's just an idea.
Nintendo has never been concerned with balance. There's a possibility that they could update Brawl with patches, but knowing them, they won't bother.
I think it looks like his F. Air, definitely.

This is a remarkably dumb reply to a silly mockup. Way to take Smash Bros. photoshop seriously.
btw fuk off Sonic I've had enough of u I don't care about your boring-ass moves
Cap'n Carter is being possessed by the spiteful spirit of Lucas.
