I probably sound like a broken record along side the huge number of people who've already stated these points, but, here we are yet again:
1. Nothing but Sakurai determines what is in and out of Brawl.
2 The podcast is INTERPRETABLE evidence. Arguing about it one way or the other has clearly gotten us nowhere.
3. Mr. Inafune, as I stated in about 3 pages back, is not the sole creator of MegaMan, nor is he the owner of the licensing rights.
4. He did in fact say, "No Comment" when addressed at the anniversary event. This is, again, interpretable evidence.
5. We, as an online community, do know that developers can lie. (notice I made no remark about Inafune lying/covering up)
I intended this post to be objectional, from the stand point of someone who has no bias. Naturally this is impossible for me because I have been and always will be a MegaMan fan.
Lastly, I'd like to address those who believe it is their duty to "beat some sense into us". I see no reason why we cannot "delude ourselves", as you put it. As a matter of fact, I would imagine that letting us believe MegaMan is in and then come Jan. 24th find he's not, would be all the sweeter victory for you. So, I simply ASK that you cease to bring this point up.

It is true that in Beta Testing and Non-Published works, MegaMan's character model may have possibly been created. The copyright infringement prevents others from using your idea in published work, so we would not be wrong in believing this is the case. My Opinion: I find this theory holds little ground though. Sakurai is an intelligent man. He would not create a character model if he had no intention of using it. And it is also true that Beta Testing a character protected by copyright laws is literally skimming the surface of a lawsuit.Did you guys ever think this could be the same case as Sonic? as in they could have a character made for Megaman, a whole moveset and everything all ready for Brawl and are just getting to other offers and negotiations before they get to Inafune.
I'm pretty sure somewhere credible said that Sakurai had a Sonic character with a moveset and all and were just waiting Sega's final confirmation to keep him in Brawl. True or not, couldn't this be the case for Megaman?
