perhaps the reason sakurai is announcing all of these characters is because they will be even more difficult to attain then in previous games

back when we thought the game was launching in december, we didnt really ind the character updates because by the time the game came out there would still be some secrecy left out. i would only hope that they would eventually stop making significant post sometime into december or cut down to weekend post in 2008, but thats also probably unlikely

some people have noticed that not a single secret character has been announced yet, secret as in regards to the first two games
ness captain luigi jigglpuff
marth mewtwo ganondorf sheik(sortof)

this is somewhat a present for us but at this rate with already half the characters revealed, unless they kick it up to 50 or more but what if theyre saying heres a bunch of characters... now go get them

there was a video there, in which one Nintendo rep let slip "you'll still be able to do everything you know and love. You'll still be able to fight with mario and luigi..."I don't remember what he said after that, but he did let luigi slip

Falcon is a given. The other's I just assume

 

[Kentalish]

they have had secret characters announced snake and sonic and i bet some other people like Dedede and others will be secret

 

[BokutoGuy]

why would they be more hard to unlock

 

[Puppet Master]

there will be 50-60 characters no doubt...so far we have about 25 so i dont mind if i have to unlock half...just as long as there is a good amount of Brawl they ARE NOT telling us

I hope the website isnt spoiling all the characters. I know I don't have to visit it, but really I'm going to visit it or hear about it eventually anyway. I guess when the game is released in Japan, i have to tell myself not to visit Smash Boards because im sure they will already have unlocked all the characters in 2-3 days. That's going to be hard.

I'm hoping for around 50 characters. After every game the size doubles.

SSB64=12
Melee=26
SSBB=50!

for real. all the people saying that 50+ is excessive dont know what theyre talkign about. i can easily name 50 guys right now who deserve a spot. and another thing. with technology making things smaller and smaller then the size of the melee to brawl disc getting bigger...i see no reasn why they cant have 50 guys plus all the awesome features that have been implemented into brawl.

Well. I'm almost sure CAN make 50+ characters if they want. If, in 2 years they doubled the roster, why not again in 6?
But i also think they can't balance so much...
And I'm not sure it'll be really a good thing. More characters, more scary the game is for a begginer...

If All-Star Mode does come back, I'm guessing that there will be 49 fighters total (excludes transformations).

1 vs. 1: 8 rounds (8 fighters)
1 vs. 2: 8 rounds (16 fighters)
1 vs. 3: 8 rounds (24 fighters)
Multi-Man Battle: Final round (1 specific fighter)

The physical size of the disc doesn't really matter.

But in any case I agree there is no reason they could not think of 50+ characters, thats easy. The problem is trying to balance that number of characters, at least balancing them well. I would love to see 55 or 60 characters, but then the game might not be balanced well and I'd rather have 40 well balanced characters than 20 good characters and 40 pieces of garbage.

How can you say that when there's only been two games so far? Just because the roster doubled from 64 to Melee doesn't mean Melee to Brawl will do the same.

I don't see any more than 45 characters being likely, probably more like 40.

 

[courte]

my point isn't can they, its simply will they. like the first and second smash, they're trying that haven't been done by anyone before. halo is really just a different theme for an fps; physics are there, but what for? an entertaining afterdeath? 'ive read the books and i know master chief has that shield but still when someone shoots ur shoulder u jerk or leg u trip in the original smash it was just hitting in melee it was some really trippy stuff so much we needed to create smash wiki and that game was rushed the reason i think they announced sonic and snake already was to let the fans know -- we've all read the interviews that states there were sposed to be in melee

and the reason dedede was announced was for the rules of base 3 dcharacters from each series "mario and zelda auto crush that tho"

they havent stated that every character theyve shown will be unlocked from the get go even though it would be nice just like some other things-- if the smash ball is an on off option, how will anyone ever choose zero suit samus??

we cann all think of those we thought should have been characters but we can all end up shut down, i personally expected to see something for captain falcons side but when the most likely and second normal character of the bunch goroh was announced as a assist i think we all thought.... fuuuuuhhh..??... i forgot what else i wanted to say

Yeah, today I predicted 40, wouldn't it be nice!

there's no way for us to know
