With the release of Brawl getting closer and closer, I think it might be fun to predict everything that involves numbers within the game (characters, stages, trophies, etc.). Then, when the game is out, we can compare our guesses to what's in the game and see who made the best guesses.
Since it's easy to keep track of everything thanks to Challenge Mode, it should be easy to get exact numbers of everything.
These is the stuff we'll be predicting:
Playable Characters: The full roster, once every character is unlocked. This means the number of SLOTS in the character selection screen (Zelda/Sheik, Samus/Zamus and Pokemon Trainer all count as one each)
Playable Stages: All the stages, starters and unlockables, available to play on versus mode. If it's only playable on SSE or any other mode, it doesn't count.
Music Tracks: All music tracks (not sound effects) playable on Sound Test mode after everything unlocked.
Events: The full number of events available on Event Mode. (Single and Co-Op modes combined. If the same event is on Single and Co-Op, it counts as two.)
Pokeballs: The number of Pokemon in the game that come out of Pokeballs. (If a pokeball causes two pokemon to show up, it counts as one)
Assist Trophies: Total number of ATs in the game. (If two or more characters come out of a single AT, it counts as one).
Items: All items included in the game (As how the Item Switch option lists them)
Trophies: Every single regular trophy you get in the game.
Stickers: Every single sticker found in the game.
So, I'll start by posting my guesses:
Characters: 42
Stages: 60
Music Tracks: 95
Events: 172 (102 on Single, 70 on Co-Op)
Pokeballs: 80
ATs: 130
Items: 70
Trophies: 498
Stickers: 750
It's that simple. Now you give it a go. Time expires the instant January 31st hits in Japan.
