Sonic: Nuff said

[Darkraid]

Man the caps are making me dizzy. Btw I hope we get tails and knuckles to at least make an appearance.

 

[oxyborb]

too... much... to process....
I am now a rabbid from rayman...

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

videos... my god, new footage... news... holze shaz.... RIOT

SONIC!?!? DAAAAAAAA!!!

lulz, Sonic brought his crappy music with him

 

[ragda]

Am I dreaming myself into sleep?

It's-a me, Mario, uh, I mean, it's-a me, Romeo.

I was just about to hit the hay, when I decided to check out today's update. It went something like this:

*Yawn* Well we might as well see what they've got. Language? English. OK, what do th-they have?! *Warning: Challenger Approaching* Blue hair/skin? It can't be! It is!! It's Knuckles! Huh? Darn it. It's Sonic. It's SONIC?!!

Now maybe it's just me, but when he jump from the spring, could that be his up+b, and if it is, it didn't seem he was flashing like when you've used up your up+b and can't continue to recover. Does it mean that up+b won't have that drawback, or is it another special other than up+b? What do you guys think?

Juliet: Come on already, I need some sleep *YAWN*, and we have a test today.
Romeo: D'oh! Well gotta go! *Capes myself out of the scene*

 

[oxyborb]

Holy crap guys, the release date is TBA AGAIN!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Fanewgie]

That almost works. A few fail at the sort. Starfox (03) only works when used as Fox, and then 04 is Kirby and 05 is F-Zero or Captain Falcon or Falcon. Either way, before K. Then Mother (07) Pocket Monsters (08) and Zelda/Legend of Zelda (09) but with Mario / Super Mario next (10) and Yoshi (11) I might be missing something there. Then yeah, 3 new series would fit there. And the rest sort of makes sense. At that point, what all would qualify to be series 21? Anything?

I can't sleep anyway so I thought I'd try to dissect it a bit. Btw, wikipedia is your friend. However I had to go with japanese spellings to even begin to make sense of it...

02 - Donkī Kongu (Donkey Kong)
03 - Fokkusu Makuraudo (Fox McCloud)
04 - Hoshi no Kābi (Kirby)
05 - Kyaputen Farukon (Captain Falcon)
06 - Metoroido (Metroid)
07 - Mother (Earthbound)
08 - Pokémon (Pokémon)
09 - Rinku (Link)
10 - Sūpā Mario (Mario)
11 - Yosshī (Yoshi)

Bwahaha, I cracked it. Sorted by character name in japanese spellings.

 

[jupiter]

I hope the "TBD" doesn't necessarily mean 2008. Even though Japan has it on the 20-something of January, 2008, I still want my Dec 3rd!!! Or at least...before 2008!

 

[Deleted member]

Wtf!

Okay, he's in. Moving on people...

Seriously, though I might like him, I' more excited about the freaking TRAILER THAT I CAN'T SEE AT SCHOOL!

 

[09MurphyM]

This Game is getting more and more exciting with each update! I wonder what they will do tomorrow.

 

[Chao`]

Sonic will be one of my main chars in SSBB even if his moves are barely on par with Mewtwo. This I swear.

 

[abit_rusty]

You gotta be ****ing kidding me...

I was totally blindsided by this

final smash = super sonic = too good.

 

[clowsui]

Sonic is the new Falco.

Fast faller, phenomenal bair/dair, uair looks pretty savvy. Crazy combo potential with midair over b cancel. Throws will prolly be ****ty.

 

[Jammer]

Check it out! Sonic was submitted to slashdot not once but twice. Neither submission has made it to the front page yet.

If anyone here actually reads slashdot.

 

[Darkraid]

What does super sonic do anyways? does he shoot beams or what?

 

[burrito]

Excuse me....

OMG REALLY I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! !%@# !@$% !@#$ING #$%$. It's @!#$ING SONIC. OMG.

 

[Tobias Amaranth]

Icon numbers

01 - Super Smash Brothers
02 - Donki Kongu (Donkey Kong)
03 - Fokkusu Makuraudo (Fox McCloud)
04 - Hoshi no Kabi (Kirby)
05 - Kyaputen Farukon (Captain Falcon)
06 - Metoroido (Metroid)
07 - Mother (Earthbound)
08 - Pokémon (Pokémon)
09 - Rinku (Link)
10 - Supa Mario (Mario)
11 - Yosshi (Yoshi)
12 - Fire Emblem
13 - Game and Watch
14 - Ice Climber
15 - Animal Crossing
16 - Made in Wario (WarioWare Inc.)
17 - Metal Gear Solid
18 - Myth of Light: The Mirror of Palutena (Kid Icarus)
19 - ???
20 - Sonic the Hedgehog

Heh, you've sold me. So pretty much, 19 is almost guaranteed to be Pikmin. So that means we have the following characters guaranteed:

Game and Watch
Captain Falcon
Ganondorf
Olimar

And if we go by the results of Sakurai's Poll the following characters are also almost guaranteed.

Playable Characters:
Krystal
Geno

Playable Characters or Bosses:
Ridley
King DeDeDe
King K. Rool

And a note about including Geno. Super Mario RPG comes after Sonic the Hedgehog. Possibly is icon 21.

 

[BuSHiDo]

So... get this... Sonic's icon, it's number 20.

Pit's icon is number 18, MGS 17, Wario 16, and Animal Crossing is 15.

Before that is Ice Climbers at 14, Game and Watch at 13 (I'll bet anyone any-thing- that that's a true statement), and FE at 12, etc down the list.

So 19 is missing as is 13. As I stated, 13 is required to be Game and Watch because 13 is required to be number from a returning series. The only one applicable is G&W. For 19, it has to be a new series. Any guesses?

So far I've heard from my friends, in order of likelyhood:

Pikmin
Advance Wars
Mega Man
Castlevania

I'm gonna say Pikmin because Olimar would be a unique choice.

Why is it required that Game & Watch is 13? What about F-Zero/Captain Falcon? That would fall in the same spot, he's a returning character, and it falls in the right place alphabetically.

 

[psyniac_123]

Right, now my face has stopped melting, I can actually discuss.

What do you guys think about Sonic AT's? I doubt we'll see another Sonic character (it's possible but I think unlikely, even if a shame) so who do you think will make appearances as ATs? And what will they do?

Super Sonic has never shot "beams", so I doubt it.

Edit: Sorry for the double post.

Captain Falcon already has his logo number.

EDIT:

His number is 05.

 

[Lin_]

Dude... even though I heard so much about it, I never really expected Sonic to be in. Maybe it was all that crap photoshopped "proof". But now Sonic's in, he look freakin' awesome. He even managed to convince my friend to say that he'll buy a Wii for Brawl.
Now all we need is Young Link (SMASH BROS. WON'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT LON LON MILK)

 

[Pikabunz]

I'm speechless.

 

[End Game]

First of all: Holy Balls! Sonic?? Are you freaking kidding me?? Thats awesome...i was never that excited about him being in brawl but now that i see him in i just cant control my self.

It makes me sad however, that the only reason sonic was revealed today was just to keep us from rioting at the news that brawl has been delayed.

 

[Dacvak]

Dear sweet Jesus Christ. I can't f*cking believe it. My God... this is... Epic.

~Dac

 

[miller483]

Now me and my bro (one of the biggest Sonic fans I know) can do Mario (my main) vs. Sonic (his new main) matches all day long.

 

[GUIGUI]

Fox isn' the fastest character anymore. You do realize that, right?

 

[miller483]

Fox isn't the fastest character anymore. You do realize that, right?

Fox never was. C. Falcon was the fastest.

 

[-Dark-Marth-]

Who would of thought id wake up to find that Sonic's in Brawl.
Pure win.

 

[Mr fN LeON]

aaaaahhhhhhh

[/FONT

Are you kidding me that Sonic is finally in !!!!!

Sonic vs Mario
Sonic vs Link
Sonic vs Donkey Kong

OMG that is awsome, every mans dream come true(remember we were kids back then).

All that is left is for Master Cheif to join and Finish the Brawl.

 

[Deka~Fox]

Wow..............I hope this give us another firm release date..... Sonic looks toooooooo tight. Dammit, Reggie you said Dec 3rd! You said we WILL be playing it!! argh, lolz

 

[DainBramaged]

DAGH!!! I wake up, and smashbros isn't working for me......so I come here and

ZOMG SONIC!!!! I WANT TO SEE THESE TRAILERS!!!

 

[Eternal Smasher]

Heh. I love seeing that "Warning! Challenger Approaching!". But when I saw it this morning, I had no clue who it could've been so quick after Lucas. When I pressed the down arrow...I saw a spike. No, two spikes. Then I just spazzed out. I forgot what happened between 5:40 and 5:55 this morning.

It'd be a sin not to get this game.

 

[LuigiKing_Pwns]

Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg

SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC I Cant believe he made it sooooooooonnnnnnnnniiiiiiiicccccccc

 

[Suna]

sorry pit I think I found my new main......SONIC!!!!!

 

[Eyemeralds]

Guys We Need To Apologize To Sakurai Right Now!!!!

Serioudly, he made us wait till OCTOBER!!! That's a hell of a lot better than anything after that, no matter how you look at it! omg....WHERE IS SAKURAI'S E-MAIL ADDRESS!!!!!

 

[krynny]

So yeah, when it said "Warning, Challenger Approaching" i was thinking Falcon is finally announced. Then i see that famous blue mascot and 2 videos! if sakurai had to give us any update with the announcement of a later release date, this was pretty good. sonic looks like he is just incredibly fast and top tier. i wonder if you can play as super sonic or his action is preset like mario's final fireball thingy.

so many new chars!!! im very impressed and cant wait to get this game.

 

[B-Bop]

I have a lurking suspicion we'll have the full Hedgehog Entourage making some sort of AT appearance.

 

[LuigiKing_Pwns]

A Little Fishy Dont Ya Think?

SONIC LOOKS SOO GOOD IT MAKES U THINK DOES SAKURAI READ THESE THREADS AND GET HIS IDEAS FOR CHARS HERE? sry for caps* seriously think about it...

 

[axemangx]

Aww, I wanted his taunt to be the waiting thing when you dont move in the Genisis/Advance games.

Dam.

Oh well, they still kept the stop dashing sound though :D


I'm glad. Wanted Ridley or Dedede though.

 

[ShoDan]

no-one deserves mroe to be in brawl then sonic, best update yet
and my friend cant see the video, has someone already uploaded it on youtube

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Inevitable and expected. Finally, somewhere else for Sonic to shine than just the olympics.
