Ness in Brawl! *SPOILERS*

[Shuma]

I say fake, it goes against every bit of logic to give Lucas a luigified ness moveset just to give ness either his old moveset or a completly new one.

Besides, Claus>Ness.

Edit: Close the thread if the information becomes proven to be false.

Since when did this become the dominant logic for rumors? Isn't the burden of proof on you (or the source) to prove it is true? This belongs in SmashChu's rumor thread.

Ah, I thought we were going to go without someone saying that anyone who thinks Ness could possibly be in Brawl didn't read Lucas' special moves update.

The thing you don't realize is that the English update isn't quite perfect. Well, it is, technically, but not perfect enough. The Japanese phrase used doesn't say anything about Ness' current status, just that he was in the previous two games.

It'd be nice if people would stop trying to pass off 'up until now' as incontrovertible proof that Ness is out...but then again, this is Smash Boards, and it wouldn't be Smash Boards without extremely zealotous people that keep assuming things like this.

And no, I'm not saying your beloved SamuraiPanda was wrong, it's just a weakness of the English language. Definitely not his fault.

Back to the actual topic, it would certainly be interesting to see a Lucas/Ness vs. Porky fight, but as many others have said there's not really any sources to this besides someone on GameFAQs, so I wouldn't trust it quite yet.

Its from Gamefaqs.

Thread over.

Chaos, first posted in gamefaqs and he was right about what he said. kthxbai?

 

[Lupo Aro]

The Handicap update rendered the usage of "up until now" useless.

 

[Shuma]

"The thing you don't realize is that the English update isn't quite perfect."

Yes it is, Samurai Panda himself said so.

 

[Zinfandel]

I...just don't know.

It comes out in less than three weeks, can we not just WAIT?

NO!

Sakurai's going to have us debating every inch of this game!

 

[Pluvia's other account]

It's not the Up Untill Now bit that deconfirms Ness, it's Lucas' Special Moves.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Yeah, Fire is still similar, Thunder is the same, Magnet is the same, and Freeze is very similar to Flash.

 

[Shuma]

"The Handicap update rendered the usage of "up until now" useless."

Actually it just proves, that the usage of up until now is the right one. Since Sakurai is using the up until now, to point that something has changed from the past games.
