The ULTIMATE Probable Playable Characters In Brawl Analysis Topic!(1 week til Brawl!)

[A Link to the Snitch]

In the end, we got 11 secret characters, 6 of which were clones, and these clones were not intended to be included until a later period in the game's development.

hey anyone else notice that zss was paired with pikacu in the new subspace video, and it appears that link, yoshi, mario, kirby and pit will be teamed up at some point?

 

[IkexMarth]

I don't mind 35 characters, but the characters in the rostr don't really add up. Although link to the snitch answered some of my questions, I do have a favor to ask of you Chrono. Can you make an anylasis on ROB possibly? Please and thank you!

 

[The rAt]

Ah, Link to a Snitch, you were refering to Melee; I thought you were talking about Brawl.

So, this may not be anything at all, but I thought it at least warranted mention

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/29966.html

What caught my eye was at 0:12. I have some ideas about it, but I thought I'd see what other people think before I weigh in.

 

[the_Capt_Falcon_Master]

i dunno about that video, ive seen some of the character icons on fake rosters before (like the black shadow, wolf, and krystal ones) So i think its a fake. But when was the video first released? Cause if it was before olimar, then id believe it, cause thats his icon on the dojo.

Pretty obvious fake. Marth's image is from Fire Emblem DS, Wolf and Krystal's images are from assault, many of the characters have 2D art images (Toon Link, Micaiah, Ridley, etc), Ganondorf and Midna's images are straight from Twilight Princess, it calls Pikmin & Olimar just Olimar, calls Claus "Masked Man" (if hes in, they're not going to be worried about spoilers that way), it has Ashley on it, etc etc. Not sure why they have it in there or where they got it from, but its certainly not real.

And lack of AC Character makes it fail miserably.

 

[626key]

The shading on mewtwo, ashley, WW link, and marth are all wrong

 

[Demon Kirby]

ashley

Reason enough to call it fake.

 

[626key]

True, but does wario ware deserve a 2nd fighter?

 

[Demon Kirby]

Mmmmmm no.

 

[626key]

Mmmmmm no.

So who does? I'll say star fox, metroid, pokemon, and legend of zelda.

 

[Rick88]

So who does? I'll say star fox, metroid, pokemon, and legend of zelda.

Agreed on all, here I have my number of reps some series should have (not counting the ones they have now obviously):

Mario- 2 (Geno and Bowser Jr or Paper Mario)*(not counting Luigi since I doubt he won't be in)

Legend Of Zelda- 2 (Ganondorf and WW Link)

Star Fox- 2 (Falco and Krystal or Wolf)

Metroid- 1 (Ridley)

Pokemon - 2 (Jigglypuff and Lucario or Metwo)

I don't think WW link will be in because he wasn't in TP, but maybe midna, wolf link, heck maybe even skull kid (yah he was in it)

 

[Rick88]

Yeah I forgot to add a "/" in between WW Link/Midna. She has good chances, but Sakurai might add WW Link to represent the current Phantom Hourglass and Windwaker games. If he's not in, I'm sure Midna or a Midna/Wolf Link team will.

 

[626key]

Sakuri has made it a point to say that all the Zelda fighters would be from TP
P.S. I think Geno and Paper Mario would be a better variety than Bowser jr.

 

[Zenigame]

Where, pray tell?

 

[Cake Suitcase]

Hi everyone,

I'v been reading the forums for probably, almost 2 years now but never posted.

So ill throw my 2 cents in.

I think Metroid needs another rep.
I'm not a fan of Ridley, but i wouldn't mind him being in the game. I just cant picture him in it.

But Honestly I'd love to see Sparkster (from Rocket Knight Adventures) as a playable Character. that would be the greatest thing to me.

Yah but he doesn't have much for him, not very well known, not on sakuri's poll
P.S. 2 years,!?! it was I read for a week before I broke down

 

[Cake Suitcase]

I know he's not on the poll, i just think it would be cool to have him in Brawl

and yeah almost 2 years I would just read up real quick like 4 times a week. and finally just decided to post.

 

[626key]

If it were up to me, I would have it so that if your hooked up to the internet, you should be able to download new fighters or new things to unlock fighters

 

[Cake Suitcase]

that would be cool to be able to download new fighters. and just keep adding them to brawl. you wouldn't need to make another one

But really the whole create your own levels and share them with people is sweet enough for me.

 

[Rick88]

Where, pray tell?

Yes I don't recall Sakurai saying such a thing. Either way WW Link or Midna would make good Zelda reps, but I prefer WW Link first.

The TP thing may not be set in stone, but it also violates when sakuri said he would avoid clones

 

[ChronoBound]

I will be updating my analyses for Lucario, Jigglypuff, Ness, and Marth due to the icons in the commerical and the demos included in the game. Although, I probably won't get around to it until later today. I don't think there will be much updates left for this topic considering that we will be getting the entire roster next week.

 

[the_Capt_Falcon_Master]

well, they are using tp models for zelda, shiek and link. But its not all tp stuff. Cause zelda still has her oot style moveset.

 

[The rAt]

I'm surprised at how quickly people wrote off the gametrailers video. Not that I disagree, I just expected there to be more commotion over it.

P.S. 2 years,!?! it was I read for a week before I broke down

That's not too long. I read for about 2 years or so before I had anything to say.

Wait, Marth? Did someone spot a Marth icon?

There is a demo of FE3, Marth's second game, in Brawl according to the Japanese section on the Dojo.

i was just thinking, what pokemon demo will they have? Will they use the gb games, or the first console game (pokemon stadium)?

 

[The rAt]

Since it looks like these demos are mainly plugs for games available on VC, I would expect they'd use Pokemon Snap, since it's the only one currently available on the VC. I suppose they could also do Stadium, but I wouldn't expect they would use a GB game unless they plan on starting to release GB games on the Virtual Console.

Actually, I kinda wish they would start with the GB games. I've been wanting to play through Gold or Silver for quite some time, but my cartridge won't save anymore.

yeah, well they are probably going to release gb games eventually, and i think this is as good a time as any.

Me too, but given that the two rumored new VC systems are apparently Sega Master System and Game Gear, I don't expect to see the GB or GB Color to make their entrance for awhile yet.

Also, I wish I had confidence in Nintendo realizing there is a market for Game Boy VC games, but I don't. This seems like something they'd be oblivious to.

Not to be rude, but we're getting off topic, and with about 2 days left, there's no time to waste

For a total of 45 characters, good and balanced if you ask me.

 

[JonBeBonanza]

f-zero should include Black Shadow, imo

 

[A Link to the Snitch]

35 characters doesn't include transformations, so it's a total of 39 characters.

With Vol. 5 of Iwata Asks, Animal Crosser seems deconfirmed. Too bad.

That was VERY rude.

Seriously, though, 2 days? What? The release date is the 31st. Sure, we may get a leak a day or two early, as Chronobound suggests, but are we going to really know if it's right until we see the Japanese version?

Regarding the roster in your sig, I don't know if you're shooting for a reaLISTic (ha ha, I couldn't resist) or a wishlist, but I'm fairly certain you can count out Miis at this point, based on the implications of this interview:
http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol2_page1.jsp
Also, based on this one, it doesn't sound like we'll be getting a playable rep for Animal Crossing (or Nintendogs, but we know that already):
http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol5_page2.jsp

Guess we'll see, though.

EDIT: Looks like Snitch beat me out on the AC part. Well played.
