This has already been said, I am sure of it:

Birdo's a girl. Not a man. :p

In Birdo's biography of the Super Mario Bros. 2 instruction booklet, it reads "He thinks he's a girl and he spits eggs from his mouth. He'd rather be called Birdetta."

A lil off topic I know, but I couldn't let him live a lie!

Also,

To make a small recap, there's 2 Wi-Fi vids.
One shows 1v1 online.
One shows 2 on one Wii v 2 on one Wii.

We all saw it coming, but it's so delicious now that we know.

And this thread is rockin'.

It's nice to know that Birdo is an AT, and it's also nice to know that Isaac wasn't seen as an AT. (it worries me every time I see confirmation of ATs.:()

Okay, sorry guys. I've just hopped on a plane today and haven't been home. I'm online with my cellphone now.

Metroid's instruction booklet mentioned Samus was a male cyborg. We can argue their canonicity anytime.
But can you argue against in-game dialogue from the Japanese version of a game?

In the JP version of Mario Kart: Double Dash, Birdo's profile can be basically translated as follows:

"Appears to be Yoshi's girlfriend....or should that be 'boyfriend'?!"

So...not only does it pretty much confirm the fact that Yoshi and Birdo are quite definitely bumping butts, but the JP dialogue seems to point to the notion that Birdo is a ******, too. It's really only NoA, and their interests of catering to soccer moms, that probably makes it so that there's so much confusion in the first place...

I have an additional link to a website that may be useful:

http://ikusaba.client.jp/

It is a character prediction site and is connected with this fansite: http://ikusaba.ifdef.jp/top.htm

I didn't see this website among your many others, so I decided to place it here so the cominity can know about it.

Note: do not click the "English Here" link it doesn't work.
I remember this site! Found it a ways back over the summer. What bothers me most is that their "chance of appearing" meters are way off, IMO. They put somebody like Wolf at a higher chance of appearing than Young Link. If anything, they're equal.

About time. :)
Let's keep the juicy bits of info flowin.
Dammit! I can't. I'm tethering and here in Florida I only get EDGE. No 3G internet. It's so slow. I'm going to try to modify my router to be a wireless repeater and hopefully steal a neighbor's WiFi

wow, those commercials are epic. It's good to actually hear sounds of the game, instead of Press one!

Is Fireflower the only item that is confirmed that Kirby can copy? Is it even confirmed that he can copy items? If it is, its EPIC

But I do like that they gave Claus (!!!) and Sukapon such high chances. :grin: Here's to hoping that Claus really IS in Brawl! That's my one character wish for this game.
