Isn't it amazing?

[Psydon]

Months away from Brawl, without a single character spoiler from the demo, and no other official spoilers, we've already got 22 confirmed characters. 24 if you count ZS Samus and if Sheik returns (I consider Pokemon Trainer one character, not three).

So, let's say 24. That's only three (counting Sheik) less than Melee, and they're all unique characters! Melee had 7 clones (6, depending on how you feel about Luigi)! Just imagine what other fighters they're creating...imagine how big the roster could be...the variety...the possibilities...

This is just a positive little thread, for me to express my joy.

I wouldnt count shiek just in, but ya, there are plenty of new characters to look forward too if we get the 40+ roster size we have been asking for.(transformations count as one character with the one they transform to/from)

Samus and Zamus are both 1 character, as well as either of the 3 Pokémon (the Trainer himself not of course, as you don't directly play as him). I hope the roster will be at least 40 characters too, but it is hard to come up with movesets for characters to distinguish them from the rest of the cast, as well as the animations done, I can imagine it can take awhile for just 1. They've had so many time now though that a 40+ roster doesn't sound too unbelievable. To me, anyways.

I'm praying for 50. I heard one of the reasons for the delay was adding a few more characters. But I prefer them blurring out Online problems.

 

[OmegaXXII]

so far so good, I'm just expecting at least 10 more to make it, but more than that would definetly be better

Now that I think about it... 36 is a kinda weak number. saying we havent gotten any info about..

Ness
Jiggly
Luigi
Falcon
Ganondorf
Sheik
Diff Form marios (dr, Paper, Jr.)
Last Third Party Character (even though there will be more)
Alot of villans like K. Rool or Ridley.

36 is a weak number, seriously.

my guess is around 43.

I'm hoping for a 50 roster too, it's not as crazy as you might think, if you really take the time to look around you can see many unique nintendo characters are availible which wouldn't be too hard to make a moveset for, not if you have tons of people working on brawl, which I'd say sakurai has loads of people from nintendo working on it.

I think with 50 characters, not many people would be dissapointed. In my opinion, people who say 34-36 characters for brawl only allow for characters that are obviously coming back(Luigi or Ganondorf) and characters they want to see in. 50 characters isn't too much, some people have said it will be too much but my brain isn't going to explode when I see 50 characters on the selection screen and I won't be confused, I'll be extremly happy!

This thread made me smile, too. Thanks, I needed that while (nominally) studying for finals.

You know, looking at Wiseguy's roster, 36 doesn't seem so large after all. When the forty-characters estimate gained popularity I though that it was very high, but it shrank a lot. I'm so spoiled.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Yeah....even a 40 character roster seems tiny when you think of the vast amount of deserving nintendo characters

We have recieved some info regarding Ness. Ridley has music(I guess it's info) and I beleive the Mario forms won't be back unless they're alts. I can imagine having 35 unique characters for the finished roster although I still think it will be 40

This thread makes me hope for the best.

When you consider the size of the starting roster compared to the previous games, the development time that Sora had and the fact that original movesets are relatively simple to imagine for PCs, the possibilities are positively MIND-BLOWING!

I have a feeling that the final roster will be humongous. Hopefully, a total of 45-50 characters is not out of the question.

 

[Ridley22]

If you said 24 for brawl then that would only be 2 less than melee counting shiek. Anyway that is pretty awesome how it already is like better than melee character wise.

 

[Steel Braxus]

Honestly I think 50 is hoping for too many. 35-40 seems like the perfect number.

 

[DekuBoy]

48-50 are my ideal numbers.
