... cause i think brawl character choices already are stupid.
Pardon me? You think Pit is a stupid choice? Solid Snake? Metaknight?... You might wanna explain yourself. If any Nintendo character deserves the spotlight again, it's Pit. I defy you to find a Nintendo IP more popular and fitting than Kid Icarus that hasn't been revived yet.
Here's an interesting bit of Smash history:
Before Melee was released, there was tonnes of wild speculation on who would be in it, much like you see today. There was many posts on the IGN boards by people who claimed to have an inside source, and uncle who works on the game, etc...
They said Sonic would be in. They said Pit would be in. The list goes on. Now we know they where wrong.
But what's interesting is that there was one guy who really DID have an inside source. He was very tight-lipped about the whole thing, and didn't want to give too much away. He claimed he didn't want to ruin the surprise for everyone.
As the release date got closer, he started to leakout names. He started with obvious ones that most people already guessed. Peach... Bowser...
But as release got closer, he started to post some of the more obscure ones. Falco... Ganondorf...
And with about a month to go before release, he posted the whole list.
Nobody had to guess if he was making it up, anymore. Everyone was now SURE he was lying.
"Dr. Mario? Roy? Marth? Nintendo would NEVER put them in! Nobody even knows who the last two guys are! You're a liar! How would Dr. Mario be any different than Mario? Why not just a costume change? We call B.S.!"
He calmly bowed out and said we'll find out who's right when the game is released...
And we all know how the rest goes...
The moral of the story: Expect the unexpeted and don't count anyone out 'till the release.
It still shocks me that Nintedo was able to keep the character list a secret untill the end. But would we believe them if they told us? o.O
