I would be quite angry if Ike made it. Ike just plain wasn't cool. Also he would steal a niche from Marth or ,much less likely, Lyn and possibly result in my favorite character being lost. Ike might just replace Roy. Still, in anti-Ike. Im not worried about losing Roy. He's pretty interchangable with the other fire emblem charactars in my opinion.
Sorry man, but Ike is all but guaranteed. He has appeared in the two most recent Fire Emblem games (both of which are/will be internationally released) he was ranked second on Sakurai's poll (no other FE character even came close) and he is by far the most awesome Fire Emblem lord. Marth's days are numbered.
I'm mad about Snake as it is. He just doesn't seem to fit, but what I really hate is the sense of insecurity it instilled within me. Because of him it seems any random character can get in if they're popular.
Because of snake there is room for the unneeded (final fantasy charactars) and the justr plain lame (insert random *** pokemon here). Plus a myriad of Japanese charactars we havn't even heard of. Don't get me wrong Marth was cool but no one really knew about him in America before melee. Also, if you havn't read between the lines I dont want Sonic either.
Hate list: Ike, any non-nintendo charactar.
WAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
Welcome to a brave new world, Mr. Sumo. A world where ANY character can get in Brawl - regardless of whether or not they are owned by Nintendo. Snake is without a doubt the most awesome character in videogame history, so his inclusion was a pure stroke of genius. Also, you can't blame Snake for the inclusion of lame Pokemon (they've been with us since the beggining) or Japanese only characters (we have your boy Marth to thank for that).
Personally, there is no character that I hate so much that I would be upset were they included.
Actually, now that you mention it, there is one. SHEIK!!
