It's like there's some dark negative cloud over threads like this, it's really sad.
This is possibly the coolest thing they could do and for all we know, it can take many many directions. But still: "OMG, don't wanna have Petey in Brawl!!!!11one1" Is that all you think of?First, what's wrong with Petey? Perhaps he isn't important to the series, but why the hate? Personally, I don't care for the character. Like some said already in this thread he's an average villain and not important enough to get him as a playable character. But personally, what's wrong with him besides this?
I trust Sakurai with his decisions. Was anyone of you disappointed in SSB and Melee? (if you say yes, what's the point being here?) No! Exactly! So I trust him to do what he thinks is best and to not make stupid decisions like putting Petey in the game over Ridley and tons of characters who are more popular than him. Besides, every character in SSB and SSBM had at least a major role in the games they were in or were the main protagonists of their own games. And I also think Petey will be a boss in the adventure mode.
We don't know more, so stop b****ing around, it doesn't help much. Yeah, I know these are all opinions, but opinions based on something we don't know much about. So there...
I for one was terribly impressed by the vid and pretty much loved this update.
