Captain Falcon: What is Sakurai hiding?

Captain Falcon has obviously not been officially confirmed for Brawl. He might as well be, since he has a symbol (see Samurai Goroh update), but why hasn't Sakurai officially updated him yet? We're only less than 2 months away from launch, and still, no Falcon. Could there be something big related to him that Sakurai wants to save? Could Sakurai have forgotten Captain Falcon and will update him later? I've thought of a couple of possibilities, but still, my ideas are pretty cloudy even in my head.

1. Falcon's Final Smash does something completely unlike anyone else.

We would all expect Falcon's Smash to be to charge with the Blue Falcon, but what if for some reason, it isn't that? What if it's something that is completely different, possibly leaving permanent damage to the battlefield, or something of the like.

2. Something completely crazy that probably is in no way true, but I'll throw it out there: Racing Mode to be unveiled?!

What if Sakurai wants to hold on to Captain Falcon to reveal some kind of side-scrolling Smash Race mode? It sounds unreal, but if you think about it, it might actually be pretty fun. It could use Stages from Subspace Emissary where everyone has some kind of vehicle, and you need to keep progressing foward while attacking your foes. Maybe it could have two modes: First to finish line, or the stage keeps looping and it's a moving smash battle with vehicles. Call me crazy for throwing this out there, and I know I'll probably get a lot of flak for it, but the things Sakurai has thrown out there, a mode like that may not be far off.

Well, those are my theories. I was just thinking something has to be up if Sakurai is holding onto Falcon for this long. I can understand why he's holding onto Ness, but why Falcon? I'm really not sure how likely either one is to become true. Please feel free to discuss though.

Or he could just be an unlockable in this game, and Sakurai doesn't want to reveal him yet

We probably haven't seen Falcon yet because he's gonna be an unlockable this time. I could be wrong, but I don't think there's anthing more to it than that.

Also, his Final Smash:

The fact is, is that Sakurai hasn't shown ANY unlockable characters from the past two games. Why do you think that he'd make an exception for Captain Falcon?

It would be interesting seeing Falcon unlockable again. At this point. It may be probable. But before people get worried: Captain Falcon will be in Brawl No matter what. Maybe Jan. 7th will be his Knee...

We start thinking the Ancient Minister is doing the evil work. When he suddenly says "What is thy Bidding my Master" a certain figure.

Because since the good Captain is the best character that hasn't been confirmed yet, he obviously comes to mind first.

Don't worry, Sakurai wouldn't remove Captain Falcon, considering all his popularity is from Smash.

that was a joke
Also, forget the racing mode theory. As to why falcon hasn't been conformed *offically.* not sure.
I agree with this guy on the Final Smash thing.

that was also a joke

And they are going to chance is neutral B, he's going to FINALLY use that blaster of his.

That too was a joke

Just a question, but can anyone here translate the dialog in this video?

I still want to see Falcon use his Blaster.
Black Shadow said: I do not die! I WILL NOT DIIIIIE!

The music part IDK what the translated lyrics are.

Anyway, back to the original question: Smash has been going back to its roots on many things: the Bumper, Entrances, Classic's stages are fixed, and maybe some others I missed. This is basically the main line of defense against the Falcon Factor for those who claim the starting roster is complete and/or there won't be any more characters until January 24th (a.k.a. Judgement Day), as it would state that Falcon has gone BACK to being a secret character. Blasphemy? Tell Red that.

Just wondering, does your username have anything to do with math/statistics?

Yeah. It's my strongest academic suit. I'm not insanely smart about it like most of the math nerds you see on TV, but I am rather high up the ranks.
Nice. I was just wondering, because every time I see factorial I think of my insane AP Stats teacher.
