ok maybe not revealed, but i have a good idea. thanks to the screenshot of today's update (assuming they don't change it) of the select character screen, i did some work on paint and have a guess at the number of characters. now remember this is only speculation and i HOPE sakurai changes it to allow more. here's my pic, i stretched the background out some to allow for widescreen. in red are my hopefuls for the one slot i had left:

I highly doubt that's the starting roster, it's just the demo roster from E for All.

I mean, look at it, you have to ****ing stretch the sides to even fit the announced characters on the DOJO. If that's the final roster where would the characters that are announced and will be announced go?

24 characters? That's 1 more than Melee.

We really shouldn't base anything on this screen, as it's just the character select that was used at E-for-All.

melee had 25 characters. i said this was speculation, you don't have to yell at me. i thought it would make an interesting topic. if you're gonna eat me alive cause you don't like the thought of that many characters then ill stop posting here altogether.

Look behind you...
It wasn't a day; Have you even seen the vids at E for All?

And besides, why would Kirby be unlockable, whilst MetaKnight is a beginner? Use your brain, bro.

yeah i've seen the vids. its them playing a demo version of brawl. a demo version doesn't mean that EVERYTHING is different. this could actually be the character select screen. changing what characters are available is easy from a programming stand point compared to changing the graphical interface altogether. we assume that everything that is shown in the dojo is how the game is gonna be, why not this?

So True

KIRBY isnt unlockable! He is one of the first characters you play in the Subspace embassy and pit is like the third character u get to play, why the hell would he be starting and not kirby.

Ohhh by the way the guy who made the pic you stretched the pic wayyyyy to much XD.

Does anyone here even read the updates properly?
... Sakurai himself states that to make the online system work, all chars will be unlocked much like Mario Strikers was.

He also suggests to unlock them first before going online, so that this doesn't spoil it for you >__>

-_- mabey i should explain it more.

He stretced the right side where yoshi is too much. He was suppose to stretch both sides evenly.
are you joking? regardless of which side i stretch, i moved the characters to one side and tried to put in as many character boxes as possible. any way you cut it, THIS character setup won't allow for more.

nothing would be spoiled by just showing us smaller character boxes. "OMG there's space for one more character, THAT CONFIRMS MASTER CHIEF AS A CHARACTER!!!"

according to your logic, theres only 24 characters, less than melee. its wrong, completely wrong. i personally think this is the starting roster, but as you unlock more characters, they will make the boxes smaller to allot more room for more characters

It is way too obvious that the character/stage selection screens that Sakurai used in today's update are fake. There's no freaking question marks! There's a thing in your head called a brain, use it.

That's because he just used the demo screen from E for All.
first of all you're just assuming this, second of all you're assuming that sakurai is lazy and doens't feel like making a new character select screen. you don't seem to think very much of this guy.

i hope so, but you can't ASSUME this is wrong just cause you think sakurai is god.

Red link you do to much assuming

You Assume that there will be less that 30 characters. Have you heard of making tha face icons smaller to fit more characters?

dude this isn't melee, character boxes could pop up as the game goes by. verbal abuse will get you nowhere friend.

you're right because you used the word "myriad"
no, it's wrong because you used the demo screen as a reference for what the size of the actual character select screen will be, not to mention that most of believe there will be several more characters than this

i really really hope that's what happens, but you can't just throw this out the window cause you want 50 characters in brawl.
