I expect many, many bosses. At least two from each major franchise. So I don't think every boss will be playable.
That would be nice indeed.

Mario: Petey Piranha & Mouser

Zelda: Gohma & Great Moblin

Metroid: Kraid & Mother Brain

Kirby: Kracko & Dark Matter

Starfox: Aparoid Moth & Andross

Donkey Kong: King Zing & Army Dillo

Pokémon: Gyarados & Skarmory

Don't ask me about Kid Icarus and Fire Emblem, though...

There are tons of possible boss characters, this list only skims the surface. Therefore, I think Petey and many other bosses will stay as non-playable.

I see where your coming from Digifreak. but heres why I see this as a problem:

hypothetically, let's say Petey has a full move-set, and you end up loving those move with a firey passion... but he's not playable! D: and the only time you can fight him is with Kirby in Adventure mode... wouldn't you feel a little ripped off? a little peeved that they didn't bother to make this original and interesting character playable? I know I would.

now this whole scenario is useless if Petey doesn't have a full set of moves. which is certantly a possibility. I'm saying IF he was a full character --with full animations, complete move-set, and was balanced-- why NOT make him playable?

The only time you will bother fighting Petey will be in the beginning as Kirby... thats all and he will have a few moves not an ENTIRE move set.

So why not make Knuckle Joe playable when he has (Likely) almost as many moves at Petey will have?

You all make it out as if Move sets are all a character needs to be playable... they need to do A LOT more than just move sets to make a character playable like the rest.

But you know why wouldn't they make Master hand playable? or Giga bowser? to make them normal characters all you have to do is scale em down and make their moves less destructive.

But Giga Bowser is just Bowser but bigger and a little sicker looking. I personally was never upset that I couldn't play as him since he was just Bowser. Master and Crazy Hand are truly bosses though. They stay on one part of the screen allowing you to hit them, they don't dodge, they follow set paths and have a stamina bar. Even if you could play as them...would you really want to?

im saving zelda, screw peach!
**** yeah. I'm saving the one with magic. I imagine the one you save will probably be partnered with you for a bit in the story mode. If that's the case, I want someone one who's gonna blow **** up.

Though I do love Peach.

Even though I like Zelda better...I'm saving Peach. Peach was the only character in Melee I turly LOATHED fighting against. I kinda want to get on her good side you know?
