Thats the first thing i thought of, so yeah nothing to see here guys. Until sakurai says something himself, none of these supposed mentions offhand from nintendo reps mean jack. Especially the rating parts, snake was designed for brawl in a way that could avoid any of that, so anyone taking that up as the reason clearly thinks that he somehow has changed since then.
Pretty sure Snake was the face of third parties in Brawl, being the first one announced in it, and Smash in general. He was almost a mascot for Brawl with the way the fanbase portrayed him in pretty much all Smash fan stuff. Kinda like how Roy was for Melee and Falcon for Smash as a whole.
Exactly this. Can't speak for the rest of you, but since Brawl's release in '08, it's as if every Metal Gear or Snake related article on varying gaming sites I came across almost always used this photo, which resulted in me referring it as The Quintessential Snake:
Yeah, this is true to my friends. Ever since playing Project M with them, they've shown a bigger interest in Metal Gear in general. I even finished marathoning Metal Gear Solid 3 with one of them last night. He loved it, and is ready to start in on Peace Walker. I think MGS3 is a perfect jumping on point for newcomers, since it's considered one of the high points of the series. He was really engrossed in the story. Man, the Boss is one of the best written characters ever. That whole game is just a masterpiece. //End nostalgia fueled praise.//
Well except maybe king k rool fans, since he is probably leading the ballot.
was confirmed before that statement from Sakurai so now I won't have to frantically vote for him in the ballot like a madman. 
True though Sonic sorta overshadowed him and the attention was mostly on him. In terms of being prominent in the game, Snake was bigger in that regard though popularity wise Sonic was a much bigger deal when he got included.
He somehow looks older without the beard.
That just looks...bizarre.
I have a similar story. I was just 8 and my gaming knowing was very limited (my only consoles were a SNES which was of my mother on which I played Super Mario All Star, World and Parodius, a GBA on which I was playing only Super Mario Bros 3, Pokemon Leaf Green and some Hamtaro games, and a PS2 on whoch I played only Dragon Ball and Godzilla games). I finally managed to get a Wii and my games where just Mario Kart Wii, Wii Sport, Mario and Sonic and Mario Galaxy. When I found out of Brawl, I was interested just for Mario vs Pikachu, since they were almost the only characters I knew in the game (also Sonic, but I have never been interested in him). Afyer playing it I found out a tons of new characters and games to play. I discovered Zelda, Pikmin, Metroid, Star Fox, Fire Emblem, Mother and all the other franchise that I now love and can't make me able do left Nintendo consoles. And I also found Metal Gear, which is now my favourite series alongside Pikmin (and of course Smash).
Not really. Lucas was brought back due to his fan request, and the same goes for Roy and Mewtwo. But there wasn't the ballot at the time, but they still noticed their requests. If they had saw Roy's, I don't see how they haven't saw Snake's. Besides, he is very popular in the ballot, so we are in a good situation.
I'd be wary of saying who's popular or not unless it's a really obvious case like King K. Rool. Ballot voting polls really don't mean anything since we know precisely nothing about the actual ballot results.
Since we're all telling stories about this.
Made my stomach all warm and fuzzy. I love hearing stories like this x]
And even then, we dont know how sakurai is going to decide, they dont even have to give us any results. They will probably just end up giving us a character they claim was heavily requested even if they werent at the top. I dont like k rool though so i have no love for that character (hate me if you will), nothing is for sure at this point, and everyone should keep their expectations in line, even his fans.
Eh its ok, its nowhere near the quality of the promo images (they never are), his beard isnt as dark either. While the sculpt is fine, the finer details arent as good. But from a distance, and considering his size its not too bad.
I sort of have mine but not sure if to explain it.
My story is quite simple. I supported many characters pre-release. Specifically: Little Mac, Shulk, Ike (returning), and Robin. So, really, I already had a huge line-up of potential mains and secondaries. I'm an Ike main for life with pocket Shulk and Little Mac, Robin is a little too slow and a little too weak for my tastes but he/she is fun. I am still super bumbed that Snake didn't make it back. In all honesty, I would give up all four of those I mentioned if it meant having Snake back...
Well, in Brawl I have 2 mains,
And , so I thought that I was covered when they confirmed the latter. But the 3 Pikmin limit has made most of my strategies harder and not so effective, so I sadly had to search for another main (but I'm still trying to be as good as I was in Brawl with ). When the full roster was leaked, I was really bumped about . Since I was at the time a supporter, finding him and not the Pokemon has been a Falcon Punch in my stomach. But I was also a little happy, since he was one of my mains in Melee alongside and, so I restarted to main him. While I was unlocking characters I haven't had any problem to beat them, except for one:. She literally surprised me for how strong she was, and I immediately started to main her since she is perfect for my playstyle (WAY more than ).. is back, so istant-main. Plus I found really fun and satisfying to play as And . returns, but I will surely main him again!
