Is the SSE co-op supposed to have an online setting too so you can co-op online or is it just supposed to be local co-op because I know most of the other co-op modes can be played online but I can't remember whether or not Sakurai said something about being able to play SSE online with a buddy. Can anyone straighten the facts out for me?

Actually, only Brawl, Multiman Brawl, and Homerun Contest are online. Events and Target Smash are not.

Online would have been cool, but oh well, co-op is good enough.

Do you really think that Online Co-op would have been that much fun though?
SSE's co-op isn't a true 2-player adventure. Player 1 is the main player, player 2 has to keep up. Its very much like Kirby Super Star in that its essentially player 1's game, but if you do have a second player you can use him instead of the AI for your partner.
Now imagine this online. Unless your routing voice chat with a friend through your PC (or phone if oldschool), it would suck. Essentially player 2 would have to follow player 1 around. But without the aid of any type of communication. You can't tell them to wait up, or go quicker, or do _____.
Online co-op works for games when both players can freely move around in the same world. In SSE player 1 can move around freely, player 2 is regulated by player 1's actions. Its fine if your playing locally with a friend. Not so good for online.

It wouldn't be able to work online anyway. How could it?
First of all, we need to find out if SSE Co-op is something you can start and stop, or if you have to play through the entire game co-op once you start it that way. The way I see it working is, Player 1 will always be playing, and say his friend comes over while P1 is in the middle of SSE. When you're picking who you want to use for the next stage, you can decide if you want the 2nd character to be CPU or human. Then on the next stage you can flip it back to CPU if P2 is leaving.
Now, here's why it won't work for online. Player 1 starts up the SSE for the first time. He's going through, beats a few stages, unlocks a character, everything is going great! All the data up to that point is saved to his Wii. Then he wants to go online and play co-op with a friend who also hasn't played SSE yet. So they connect and start playing, and of course, it picks up where Player 1 left off. But what about Player 2? They don't get all the unlockables and stuff from prior to this point? What about the next character they unlock? Wouldn't it only save to Player 1's Wii, since its his file? Player 2 would miss everything.
