Wow, that's a pretty silly article... they haven't even played the game and quite a few entries show it. Especially poor little Lucas. How can somebody get his name so wrong as to end up calling him LANCE? I mean, how? Seriously? I thought IGN were better than that, that's just shoddy.

So you all saw the Lance thing...

But check the PT entry again:

The three Pokemon characters one can wield with this guy is FOUR different kinds of awesome.

Ugh...

What a terrible article.

Lucas is as much a newcomer as Link is. Same fighter, different character. lol

In general IGN is pretty good actually. It's just they're not hardcore enough with things like Smash :)

I feel like the "Lance" bit has to be a joke of some sort, considering they call him by his real name earlier in the same paragraph.

It's this, though, that irks me a bit.
IGN said:
Yeah, yeah, Wario is a marginal villain who, if he had any less impact he would be the triangle player in my high school band.
Seriously?

**** them and their views of Wario.

And I don't even take one bit of this seriously with no Olimar, the most complex character revealed so far.

And no Dedede either? C'mon guys! Quit acting like you know something because you played three rounds of the game at E for All. Irritating.

they probably just put snake first because hes from msg and he isn"t a cartoon looking character. IGN has such biased opinions.

As a greater fan of a series, we all hate this kind of thing. Because it's some dude somewhere in the world trying to represent what he thinks is everyone's feelings... without, y'know, checking them.

Like the whole "urgh, three Kirby reps, thing" or the "how dare Diddy Kong be in this perfect game"... it's just silly people trying to be cool about Nintendo.

No point letting it bother us at all...

Sonic is the fastest Brawl-iator we have, so fast we wonder if anyone but Solid Snake stands a chance.
Brawler, not Brawl-iator. At least have the deceny to get common hack journalism right. It's a stupid play on gladiator and makes them even dumber for having even attempted it.

IGN rules lol... Well Matt Cassimina rules at least he is freinds with almost ever game developer and already know what nintendo next big game is, (i think its a new luigi,zelda,or starfox game) the article was written mostly by bozon lol thats why he said lance (he bad typer/writer) and metaknight is at the top because bozon loved metaknight and played metaknight the most.
