Some Good Hints ^_^

[SuperLink9]

Krunch and Necrid would be though, and I would much rather have a character like Megaman or Bomberman (although I guess that's just my opinion, many would like Banjo...)

Krunch is in DKR DS though isn't he? So he's pretty much not a Rare exclusive character, since they (Conker and Banjo) were removed from the DS game for that very reason. Krunch could just be an Assist Trophy

 

[Hydde]

why have necrid when you can have....TAKI :D

 

[Lucas_User]

Nice find.

 

[Musica Amante]

The only reason they're mentioned in the book is because this book shows the history of all the characters.

Diddy Kong Racing is part of Diddy's history and is the only game with both Banjo and Krunch.

Soul Calibur II is part of Link's history since it's the only game with both Link and Necrid (Necrid never appears in any other SC games)

SQUARE-ENIX, I'm not really sure about. I'm assuming it has something to do with Mario RPG.

 

[Starphoenix]

HAHAHAHA This is so fake it is not even funny...

Wait it is.

nice logic....all those companies were associated with some characters in smash

 

[supersonicyouth]

Why does there have to be a WTF!? Why can't it just be BOMBERMAN

i agree! i will be pretty disappointed if necrid is the other third party.

 

[SuperLink9]

Yeah... nice logic... I never thought about it that way, but like someone said on the other thread, "Who would only scan the copyright pages if they have access to the whole book?" or something like that.

I guess we'll find out in a few days... (it's out on the 21st right?)

 

[supersonicyouth]

like someone said on the other thread, "Who would only scan the copyright pages if they have access to the whole book?" or something like that.

maybe they only scanned what they thought they could get away with, if they work for nintendo or something.

 

[Tomo009]

Necrid WTF, if this is real I wonder how Necrid would work, hes like a copier, would he have everyone's specials or waht?

Would love to see Banjo and Kazoie in though

 

[GDhunter95]

I find it disturbing Treasure still hasn't been mentioned in the copyrights here or on the dojo.

 

[Rhubarbo]

Obvious fake lol! Seriously, if there is another third party it's either Geno, Megaman, or someone other than Necrid lol!

 

[SonicSmash001]

Lol it might be for assist trophies or something...

 

[Starphoenix]

Seriously, if we are even going to have 4 third party characters it will be Geno and Megaman, no doubt. They are not going to gamble with 3rd party characters, they can do that with Nintendo characters, but NOT with third party characters. Especially if you are going to put Necrid in over more historical characters like Megaman or Bomberman, heck why not just replace Sonic with Moogle if that is the case.

This thread is made of pure fail...

 

[SuperLink9]

I find it disturbing Treasure still hasn't been mentioned in the copyrights here or on the dojo.

I think it might be because although Sin and Punishment was made by Treasure, the rights are Nintendo's. I mean Nintendo own the rights to Golden Sun so I don't think they'd need to put Camelot if Isaac was in Brawl.

maybe they only scanned what they thought they could get away with, if they work for nintendo or something.

But Famitsu is the one making the book. Though I guess the same could be said about that.

The thing is, even posting the copyrights could get you into trouble.

 

[1ofMany_ppl]

I know right?! I won't give up hope on Mischief Makers just yet though...

Edit: oh, about the Sin and Punishment AT...yeah that is wierd

Also I looked on wikipedia and it says Nintendo published the game...though does that give them the rights to it? Maybe because they were part of treasures at that time they don't need to mention them?

 

[freeman123]

Necrid WTF, if this is real I wonder how Necrid would work, hes like a copier, would he have everyone's specials or waht?

No, that's Charade. Necrid has in own moves.

 

[flyinfilipino]

No, that's Charade. Necrid has in own moves.

No, most of Necrid's moves were copied from other people.

Wow, seems like people are really close-minded when it comes to new characters. Which is good for extra WTF? when they're actually revealed, I guess.

 

[Starphoenix]

I am telling you, there will not be any WTF 3rd party characters, Nintendo is not going to go through the trouble of negotiating for characters like Necrid. WTF characters are for Nintendo characters.

Plus this booklet goes out of its way to reveal characters, I notice it did not do this for Sega or Konami. It just screams fake, someone who uses photoshop says that this looks doctored anyways.

I don't see how it's close-minded.

I don't blame people for getting a little angry when it comes to the possibility of Necrid being a playable character.

As a big Soul Calibur fan I'd be pretty pissed. Necrid was only in one game as a guest character because Todd McFarlane designed Spawn for the XBOX version and also wanted to design an original character just for the series.

He is a very minor part of the Soul Calibur storyline, the equivalent would be if we got Rude from Final Fantasy VII in Smash Bros. and no other Final Fantasy characters at all.

Keep in mind that if a new series enters the world of Smash their main character will have first dibs as a playable character. Not some obscure side-character.

*I thought Snake was a pretty good WTF character...*

Anyway, like other people said, this probably isn't revealing new characters, it's just like credits or whatever for companies associated with characters already in the game.

EDIT: Not about just Necrid being in (I don't think he represents SC either), but about who the the next few newcomers are going to be (3rd party). They just have to be Geno and Megaman...it could be anyone really.

Snake is in because Kojima begged Sakurai, plus he acted as the catalyst to recruit other 3rd party characters.

Look I believe it is false, plain and simple.

 

[Krell]

Giant shoop. Why in gods name would Necrid be in the game. If they actually had a Soul Calibur rep, it would at least be Siegfried or Nightmare, I would think.

I believe it wasn't even a rumor to start with....

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I kinda hope this is real, Characters like necrid is what brawl needs......if you think about it, they're characters nobody will expect and would no matter what anyone says have the potential to be great brawlers.

Necrid......maybe it's because link was in soul caliber and this is nintendo paying them back in a way....

or.....maybe there are just alot of beggars in the video game industry.

 

[Krell]

Guys, keep in mind that secret characters (ie Fire Emblem and Game and Watch) were not credited for being in the game until after you unlocked them (in Melee). Expect no different from Brawl.

Sorry if double post.

 

[freeman123]

If they were going to use a Soul Calibur character it wouldn't be Necrid. Of all the characters Namco has to offer, why would they put Necrid in the game?

That would be like them adding Billy Hatcher as the Sega character, instead of Sonic.

 

[Krell]

One final question.
Who the hell is Krunch.
I played Banjo Kazooie (one of my favorite N64 games) and I remember no such character.

Again, sorry if double post.

He's from Diddy Kong Racing.

A Kremling from Diddy Kong Racing. He served as one of the 'heavy' characters, not unlike Bowser in Mario Kart.

We don't know what sakurai is thinking, he may have reasons for character inclusions that we can't even think of. I'm going to stay cautious and try to be open about what characters in are in brawl because you really don't know what will happen.

I'm thinking there may be third party trophies for series that don't have playable characters because some series may be more than happy to give the rights to put there character as a trophy or assist trophy, especially if they have a new game coming out as it's great advertising.

 

[Igneous42]

Fake much?

It says TODD MCFARLANE PRODUCTIONS. A COMIC artist. Therefore, it's not for Brawl or just fake.

He made Necrid actually. But why this is fake (maybe not be read this part first) is because note that even the Dojo doesn't have to show copyrights till the character is actually shown. They wouldn't spoil it with something that simple

The other case is that those copyrights are for that booklet, and all the listed characters were mentioned or shown in some way.

 

[Kooichi]

Whoa o_O Man, I hope this is real! Necrid would own so much XD And....:D! Banjo!! d^_^b

 

[cunning]

It just screams fake, someone who uses photoshop says that this looks doctored anyways.

That "someone who uses Photoshop" has his head up his ***. If you're trying to fake these photos, just type up the copyright notices, print it out, and snap a photo of it. That's far easier than doing it any way that involves Photoshop whatsoever.

If it's real, it's because Link is shown fighting Necrid in a screenshot from SC2, and because Diddy is shown racing against Banjo and Krunch in a screenshot from DKR. I mean, I don't think Banjo has a dream at appearing in Brawl, but if he did, it certainly wouldn't be without Kazooie.

 

[domriver]

why have necrid when you can have....TAKI :D

Your just saying that because of her BOOBS that constantly bounce around. LOL imagine that in Brawl.

 

[Prevail]

I would say that igneous' reasoning is probably the most likely explanation. Or... this booklet is a complete fake.

However, I would love to see banjo in brawl (with kazooie of course ).

 

[LeuMasT]

Necrid is FAR from confirmed,not to mention among the least likely characters to make it. He and the other third parties are credited because their works are referenced and utilized in the Nintendo history pages of the guide when mapping details of characters like Link and Mario. Todd Macfarlane's Necrid is being credited because the game he has special attachment in the copyright, and possibly is screenshotted in the actual guide when discussing Link's Final Smash. Square Enix is referenced because of the Mario Finale's roots in the Mega Fireball attack, etc.

This does, however, suggest involvement of those parties in the game, but does not prove one way or another that it is the case.

 

[supersonicyouth]

maybe it's from a different game's manual

OT: could i ask where everyone got the character icons for their sig?

 

[Pomfrod]

Wait...why does it say "Diddy Kong, Banjo, and Krunch..." on the second line and then have Rare on the first line of the other scan? And Diddy wouldn't be credited to anyone other than Nintendo, and Banjo is Rare's character, so they wouldn't be listed together anyway regardless...this looks incredibly suspect.

 

[aznhomieboi1689]

How come it says (C) 2004 Nintendo...?

I thought the game is developed in 2005-2007?
