Sakurai is unpredictable there for he will throw something out like a final smash on that date. Remember the press conference in September? We had to wait a month till we saw what happened there =_=

Capcom's event would unlikely have anything to do with Brawl. Even if Sakuari chosen to reveal something like that (If it happens at all) would make it completely indepentant from anything Capcom was doing.

I guess if there was a time to reveal Megaman in Brawl, that would be it..
But I won't be getting my hopes up.

Said site.. said:
●スペシャルゲストを招いてのイベントも実施予定 ● Special guests invited to the event scheduled for implementation
Hey hey! Guest speakers? Sakurai being one of them? I can see it happen.

But yeah, Sakurai might just be completly random and do something else. He can't just reveal all the super-secret characters, we still have 3 months to go! He has to keep some of the amazing updates for later.

While not impossible, I just find it more likely they would announce something like that closer to release, so like 2008. But who knows, people sure didn't expect to see Sonic so soon either.

Yes, it's possible. If Mega Man is in I can even see it as being likely that they would announce it then, sort of like Konami revealed some new Snake details in their conference. It may not be their game but it would definitely build hype for the franchise. We'll just have to wait and see.

If on the Anniversary Capcom does decide to give the thumbs up to the SSBB team to reveal the character, I hope it is Megaman from Capcom. Though I hope it is either the Original Megaman or X.

I think we should just pass this event by. If Sakurai updates with Megaman, cool, if not, no worries.

I can say one thing, the next third party character will almost definitely be revealed at some kind of an event, just as the other two were. The only question is, which event will that be? This Megaman anniversary event is the only possibility, right now.

It is possible that Mega Man will be revealed on the anniversary.

...then again, it's possible that he won't be. Either way, I'm almost positive Mega Man will be in Brawl. Of course he might not be, but come on! He started his long and prosperous video game career with Nintendo, and continues to sell games on Nintendo systems today. MM was one of the two third party characters I called to be in Brawl after it was first announced. (the other one was Sonic, and we all know how that turned out)

Then again, wasn't there a rumor that MM would be announced on the Dojo sometime in Dec?

no, its not.

and geno is a mario character (and a lot less deserving than megaman, thats for sure.)
ANOTHER 3rd party fanclub? Sigh.. here we go again.

The fact that Megaman has to EARN those abillities kind of kills the whole idea for the character. Arent characters supposed to have their OWN moves? (That might be why Ness is out or is being nerfed.) Megaman seems alot like Samus honestly. Both chargable blasters, in suits, yeah. Also, I dont think moves from spinoffs count. Well, the only thing unique from Megaman would be the charge BLAST from the blaster and the sword. Everything else would be boring.

you obviously dont like 3rd parties.

megaman, no matter what, in ALL of his crossover/fighting game appearances, has borrowed moves from the robotmasters as part of his moveset. and seriously, who the heck made you god? lucas has already been shown using duster's rope snakes, so he's borrowing someone's moves, owns your logic right there. not to mention he's capable of his own, non-canon attacks, such as the shoryuken, the hadoken, and heck, his entire moveset from MvC.
and megaman is nothing like samus. do your research ;)

I already mentioned the POWER stealing abillity. Shoyruken and Hadoken were obviously secrets most likely as a joke. (We have enough Shoyrukens already.. o_o. Lets see. Lil Mac has one, as well and Knuckle Joe, Mario and Luigi, and many others.) MvC? Sigh. Arcade game? Arcade game moves<Game System Moves. Whens the last time you saw a arcade move in Brawl? Once again, people cant seem to think about the moveset and not the character.

I'm not exactly sure what you said there, but what is so incredibly wrong with his power-stealing, that makes it an almighty sin for it to be in smash?

they were a homage to street fighter. plus, pikachu's final smash plays a homage to pulseman, does that make his final smash a joke?

who are assist trophies, AKA, not playable characters.
Mario and Luigi, and many others.)
big deal. your point?

soul caliber 2 was an arcade type fighting game(it even had an arcade version). a lot of link's moves from SSBM were imported into that game.

I can't believe your using the fact that Megaman has to steal ability as an argument against him. There's another very well known Smash Bros. character who copies abilities. You know, kirby. Moves that kirby steals from other characters are used in his moveset, so why not Megaman? Also, Megaman wouldn't really be that popular.

Anyhow, this isn't about whether Megaman should be a character or not. If you want to argue that go to the official Megaman thread, you will find that there is plenty of good arguments as to why Megaman is a deserving character.

Guys.

2 3rd parties is enough.

If the last slot is anything, it'd be Geno.
Like hell it is. Mega Man deserves a third party slot way more than Sonic and Snake combined. How many Nintendo games has he been in by now? He's one of the biggest names in videogaming. Sakurai acknowledged way back when there could be three 3rd party characters("one or two more" after Snake were his words). Geno is an obscure character from one game, why would you even think Geno is more likely than Mega Man?

Dude, Kirby couldn't do ANYTHING without stealing abilities, remember? He can float, inhale, spit stuff out, and fall on his face. They still gave him a complete moveset for Smash, many of which were taken from his copy powers of various Kirby enemies. Similarly, Mega Man can be given moves from any of the robot masters, no problem.

That would be because its the character who is important, not the moveset. The movesets just facilitate the characters' presence - the characters are the entire point of the game. If anything, people here put far too much value on the movesets of characters.

Plus, who are you to say how many 3rd party characters should be in Brawl? 2 characters just seems like a weird number to me.

Uniqueness plz

Street Fighter. A game itself from Smash. Pikas FS? From the games. *facepalm x2*

who are assist trophies, AKA, not playable characters.
That just shows that its been done enough already.
big deal. your point?
My point is, we dont need more 3rd parties at the moment. However, I'll be glad to have him in the next game if Capcom actually comes out with some new weapons for him.


soul caliber 2 was an arcade type fighting game(it even had an arcade version). a lot of link's moves from SSBM were imported into that game.
Your getting off into games that has nothing to do with that. How do you know that they were imported? Swordspin, bombs, arrows, and a boomerang. Their just weapons/basic sword techniques.

*points at sonic the hedgehog*
You do realize Sonic has nothing else? Spindash is his trademark. It would make sense to have a whole moveset revolve around it. All those punchs and kicks from the games are just A moves.



Yup. Try to think more.


Also,

"Dude, Kirby couldn't do ANYTHING without stealing abilities, remember? He can float, inhale, spit stuff out, and fall on his face.

Thats Kirbys trademark MOVE. NOT ABILITY. Thats basicly what he IS. Megaman is simply a robot who blasts and steals moves after he BEATS them. All Kirby has to do is eat them. Get it?

Yeah, and? What's your point? I don't understand how what you're saying makes Mega Man a bad choice for a character. Mario is just a plumber that runs and jumps. Pikachu is just a mouse that shoots lightning. Link is just a kid in green that swings a sword...

No, that is a trademark of Megaman. Megaman can't do it whenever he wants like Kirby does, but once he gets abilities he can use them whenever they want. So, I see no reason why he couldn't use Robot Master moves they were a big part of the gameplay. Plus, don't forget Rush and his other abilities. I really think you just have a bias. By the way, take this to the official Megaman thread.
