Ness Deconfirmed(proof-inside)

[Icarus Descent]

From Brawl Central.com

We're currently translating the image of Ness that appears in the latest Famitsu issue, but so far we've got "Do you remember? Ness left behind? For Super Smash Brother's Brawl we gave Lucas a new moveset based off Ness from Mother 2. Ness isn't appearing in Brawl this time but players will still see him in the background off the Onett level on occasions."

This is the translation from this picture:

Do we honestly need a second thread for this? Also, why wasn't he seen at Whobby (Onett was playable)?

 

[Demon Kirby]

I guess that's one debate over.

Now . . . who's getting the spot for Earthbound's/MOTHER's 2nd rep?

 

[rusashi]

On occasions. Meaning he isn't always there.

oh! thats not good news. i dont really like ness, but many people did (and probably mained him) and i like everyone being happy with the roster...... if only everyone wanted the same thing........
anyway, there's always Lucas.

If Ness is out, no one deserves it.

Just because he wasn't at Whobby,doesn't mean he was de-confirmed as a playable character.

He means in the background of Onett in Whobby.

Fudge! This means that the Prima leak is off (among other leaks) and that means the most probable leak including Krystal thus far is debunked too.

Wait, I was just in and now it says this ONLY:

Title: "Do you remember? Ness being left behind?

"In the original Smash Bros., Ness appeared as a hidden character."

OP, did you see more when you checked the site?

Every other translator we can find claims that the Brawl Central translation is completely off, to the point where it's suspected of being intentionally faked...>_>

I keep forgetting how fast the Smash community works, especially now when we are on the home stretch.

Didn't a real translator say it doesn't say that at all?

It's been pointed out in other threads, but Lucas' name appears nowhere in that picture. Check his profile on the Japanese Dojo and see for yourself.

I definitely want Ness to be in Brawl. All of the original 12 deserve to be there.

This is a FAKE TRANSLATION. The article DOES NOT SAY the text quoted in the first post.
