Ness, Lucario, Jigglypuff essentially confirmed

[Sinistar]

I'm just glad for a fact that Ness is in and Marth is out.

What the heck happened to Mewtwo though?

Did Sakurai believe that Mewtwo was popular at the time, therefore adding him?

Maybe he believes now Lucario is very popular, especially in Japan, therefore removing Mewtwo (having lost his feel) and adding a new feel. Maybe he also felt as if Lucario's Aura Sphere was the same as Shadow Ball, so that might be why he replaced aswell.

 

[UNKN{OWN}iXi]

Well technically, the Pokemon Trainer is 3 unique characters. Ivysaur, Squirtle and Charizard each have their own movesets and individual moves, therefore they are their own character.


Sakurai mentions Sheik and Zamus being their own characters with their own abilities, so why not say the same for PT? Therefore, the Pokemon have gained more than anyone else I think.


Pikachu, Ivysaur, Squirtle, Charizard, Jigglypuff, Lucario. HOPEFULLY Mewtwo is still in, HOPEFULLY!

Wait HOLD UP! It you're extremely fast at pausing the video and playing it back to back, I caught THIS screen a split second after the one with Ness and Lucas. What is that piece of a character NEXT to Lucas?


I have yet to see anyone mention this.

That is actually the back of Ness' hat with the front of Lucas' hair. I was able to get the same effect with Sonic.

It's just a glitch, no Claus unfortunately

Indeed, it could easily be a glitch.

 

[Sinistar]

Really?


I see no silver on the top of Lucas or Ness' hair/head.

 

[Phlemingo]

Also, if you check n-europe forums, you'll see that Serebii himself admits that he knew Ness, Lucario, and Jigglypuff were in.

Also, it looks to be like a PERFECT line under the top part of the character's head area, therefore suggesting that this leak was INTENTIONAL. Who knows, but it seems more than likely that they would leak Ness in this manner and partially giving us someone else for us to speculate.

 

[Marzy]

I don't mined Jigglypuff and especially Ness, I just think Lucario is a waste of character and could be replaced with another, better Nintendo character (there's loads).

If they have Lucario, then I'll be very suprised if more popular characters like Captian Falcon or Falco doesn't turn up.

 

[Limey]

Really?

And i see no silver on the 'Claus'. if you look, it is Ness' hat and Lucas' hair. Just look at it.

Oh yeah you're right. That's weird.............

If you'll notice, the text is all glitched in that picture, too.

 

[Terrabottuti]

Huh, now that I've looked at the alleged "Claus hat" at a more zoomed in level myself, it's pretty clear it IS just some glitchy combination of Lucas and Ness. Oh well, I guess we'll have to find other evidence regarding Claus, if there's any at all... it was interesting while it lasted though!

haha Yeah. Oh well, 'twas fun

 

[Sinistar]

But I'm wondering is..


Why exactaly is there room for 4 character "heads"?

 

[bluekitsune13]

But I'm wondering is..

I guess because 4 is the maximum for any franchise's characters?

Mario: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser

Pokemon: Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Lucario, Pokemon Trainer

Zelda: Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Young Link?

There's room for 5 easily.

Who cares...
Serebii could predict that a cookie would be the next newcomer and I wouldn't believe it.

Prophets can't compete with official proof.

BTW.

Let me get a close up of the supposed "Claus Claim"
Decide for yourself.

 

[Sinistar]

Then how do you explain Earthbound?

Also, one of my friends said this:

Perhaps, the heads dont normally show up on the head screen if you haven't unlocked them?

Thats just an idea.

Yoshi and Wario are their own series.


I'm suprised you haven't known that.

Yoshi has his own logo and series...

Joystiq reporting in on it

[Darkraid]

Wow I seriously think that is Claus.

 

[espio87]

want to hear (or in this case, read) something funny? I ripped the video like 15 minutes ago and the icons didn't appear. so I'm now waiting to watch the video on the website

 

[Dark_Ermac]

the movie is gaying up on me. I can't even GET to 1:40...

 

[Sinistar]

I'm just wondering with the quality of that pic; where the silver mixes in with Ness and Lucas?

 

[Terrabottuti]

Don't bother, you're not going to see the icons on the website either. Nintendo has covered up the video again just like it was before the Stickers update, since they are now more than aware they have majorly screwed up... if you want to see these little icons for yourself, see if somewhere like Youtube has an updated video.

 

[raymanbud714]

if you guys want to view the leaked video again kotaku.com has it. http://kotaku.com/347048/three-new-ssbb-characters-accidently-leaked

in that case we can be sure that it was a "D'oh!" moment from nintendo
also, i don't think the character that is with ness is lucas, i think it's zelda
EDIT: I though it was zelda, that until I saw it was claus's sticker. D'OH!

 

[RayJT9]

They removed the part with the icons from the official site. Go to brawlcentral.com to see the version with the icons in it (youtube link.)

--Ray

EDIT: Beaten to it. XD

 

[Dr. Death]

Well, I watched the video on wii.com and if u pause it at exactly the right time it shows the heads, even more confirming it

 

[cheezysnacks]

Man they definitely have people on the boards and whatnot to cover this up so quickly, but at least i got to see the original before that so i can be sure of its truth.

 

[The Kirby Kong]

Wow I seriously think that is Claus.

I'm 100% sure it's just a part of Ness' hat and Lucas' hair that got distorted by the video file somehow.

Just copy this picture:

Then place the 'supposed' claus helmet between Ness and Lucas.
Voila, mystery solved.

We can count Luigi.

Does anybody think DK will have new reps?

 

[Darkraid]

Wow how stupid am I. Need to get new glasses.

 

[lukintosh]

1 point for Gamefaqs?

Anyway, GREAT find, although I only really care about Lucario.

 

[Sinistar]

Also, the whole "stickers on magic characters have been disproven".

There was an arrow showing what sticker you selected.

Claus and Groundon were one of them, and they showed their series characters.

But of course, this does not mean that all sticker's will have representitives.

 

[Santini]

Wow, I think you may actually have something here.

Finally, analyzing every little screen shot has got us somewhere.

Well done.

 

[UNKN{OWN}iXi]

Yoshi and Wario are their own series.


I'm suprised you haven't known that.

Yes but I mean that they don't have four characters, Wario and Yoshi that is. Therefore, unless it doesn't ALWAYS have to have four, then that theory of four is flawed.

 

[CojaxCojax]

This news has excited me enough to stop lurking and make my first post. :D
Jigglypuff is back, therefore I want to buy it.
