Agreed. When my friend brought it to my house, I was like "This is lame." Then I got hooked. I'm still playing the one from the GC, along with the DS one.

Most people who support KK only do so because they want to fight with a guitar. Thing is, such a moveset HARDLY represents the spirit of Animal Crossing properly. KK is a once-a-week character, who plays one song a week.
AC isn't about guitars or music. It's about the items.

So, like, nevermind me!
I really hope it's in the other versions, too. A Final Smash with a theme song is just too brilliant.
By the way, someone suggested that if the AC rep is an Animal Crosser, they could choose the girl called Ai from the movie.
I wouldn't mind that, she's an actual individual and cute enough.
EDIT: ...hang on, that would mean beating up a little girl.
...I'll pass.

I'm going to say it's more about communication. That's the whole point of the game, actually. Well, that and choice.
Semi-Unrelated: I hope that if you don't play on smashville for a few days, you come back to a weed-infested town. Only, this time, you won't have to pick weeds for nine hours.
Thrillhouse-vh.

If she hits you with the homerun bat, it's self defense!

I wouldn't want any AC reps, but Tom Nook would be fine.

Don't know how they could make his final smash though.

why in hell do you want a ******** little shop keeper in a fighting game?

The same reason people want a mutated cat that comes out of a ball, I would guess. =/
*Crashes a spaceship into thread*
Pckowwww! Noooooooo.
I've underlined and bolded the reasons where I disagree strongly.
a) He's not 'cutsey' or cutesy or anything like that, he's a bloody racoon.
b) He's a loan pirate! He deserves to have his head crushed under a lorry.
That and, why would he be good in Brawl?! As a punching bag? We already have one. Honestly, I'm not saying he WON'T be in Brawl, but he SHOULDN'T be in Brawl, neither should Lip! They're both rejects. They suck! They are not fit for a fighting game! Tom Nook used to own a fighting club you say! Who cares?! Did you ever SEE him fight? Does he state that he participated himself? He's a freaking racoon, what's he going to do for an UP B, SOFA BOUNCE?
Honestly, if he is in Brawl, all you can look foward to is being e-assualted by me over and over and over so hard that Tom Nook is physically removed from your gamedisk.
Oh, last point. He's in the background of the stage in a badly textured and low-polygon form, if he was in the game I'm pretty sure they wouldn't use two different models for him, and I doubt that they'd use such a bad looking model as the one of him in the background. But whatever, if he is in, I'll just pummel him. Alot.

Oh come on would you guys give up on Tom Nook... You don't see Deoxys supporters going "OH HE COULD BE IN HIS NORMAL FORM"... >_>;
When have they tried to trick us? They've SURPRISED us. They've never tried to trick us though.
Smashville is the AC rep.

I second that notion. It seems they'll be cameos considering Mr. Resetti is an assist trophy.
lololololol.
Super Smash Bros. is a game series where Nintendo characters from all their respective, established franchises come and meet up to engage in combat. Now with the exception of third party characters in Brawl, of course.
Now, considering the fact that SSB is a crossover fighting game from all different genres, why SHOULDN'T he be in Brawl? Some of the characters -seem- like they shouldn't be in a fighting game, as well (Going by your standards). Ice Climbers, anyone? In their original game, the duo's objective is to retrieve their stolen vegetables. Mr. Game and Watch? Seriously.
"Did you ever SEE him fight?"
Pretty sure you never saw any of those three fight before Melee.
And Tom Nook is really a Tanuki/Tanooki.
Also, some characters are based off of animals like Pikachu.
And why would they use a heavily detailed model for the background?
"b) He's a loan pirate! He deserves to have his head crushed under a lorry."
Ganondorf is a villain, I think he's the more suitable contestant. Well, if you go from an in-character stand point. Tom Nook doesn't mind if you take your time. He says this in the game, at least.
A bunch of your arguments are very loose and are only filled by your airy opinions. Give me facts. Well, all in all, SSB is where characters from their franchises meet and go into combat. It doesn't matter if they had previous fighting experience or not, it's just a Nintendo All-Star bout.
One last opinion, Animal Crossing existed on the N64 and is solidifying in popularity, maintaining itself as an ESTABLISHED franchise. Therefore, it would give no justice to the series if there was no AC rep, well, that's my thought.

BUT HE ARE IN THE BACKROUND LOLOLOLOL
I applaud your post sir. Very well put.

I'd rather see Tom Nook in as a badass gangster type messing arond the AC humans if they don't pay on time...

All right people. Tom Nook will not be playable or an assist trophy since he is in the background of Smashvillle. Look closely as he's wearing different clothes. That alone deconfirms him from being a playable character and as an assist trophy.

First of all, the Ice Climbers could fight..... ¬¬ And Game and Watch is the ONLY character that has ALL of his moves taken from his games.
Moving on...
Nook is probably, totally deconfirmed. He has appeared in every costume you could think of, and yet people still hold on to him. The fact that they could remove him from the background is a tangent that seriously doesn't help him at all.
Animal Crosser for Brawl.
Ah, you're right. I forgot that the Ice Climber's used their hammers in their original game. xD
HOWEVER.
Note that not all of Mr. Game and Watch's moves were actual 'harming' attacks. For example, the pesticide attack in SSBM was originally used to get rid of bugs from his garden.
That also means that the developers can breathe fighting spirit into normal, everyday movements. So, why can't a shop keeper fight when a 'gardener', 'firefighter', 'chef' or even a guy who jumps across turtles can?

Honestly, while looking at both sides of the argument and reading this, I don't think that evidence is sufficient enough to fully "de-confirm" Tom Nook.
Clarify this, please! Even though we still don't know that Tom Nook may or may not be in the background when he's in play (If he turns out to be a confirmed character, that is), I don't see why that won't help him.

No. That does not mean anything.
For one, he is not ALWAYS in the background.
How does wearing different clothes deconfirm him? This is an essential quality that an Animal Crossing stage would need, randomness. All the characters are random and their clothes are random (depending on who it is). No other series needs this kind of trait to feel right, so saying characters are out because of it is groundless. You have no justification from older games, it never happened before.

Animal Crosser for Brawl!!
I do.
I don't really know how to put it into words, it'd be simple to remove him from the backround, but really, do you see that as likely? I don't.
Animal Crosser for Brawl!

Smash Journeyman
and y cant the human from AC have that moveset
I'm assuming that you think that the evidence seems sufficient enough to you. Sure, Tom Nook appears in the background with a variety of designs, but I don't see how that can decrease Nook's chances. CONSIDERING that you even said that it would be simple to remove him from the background... (See below).
It seems like you're very partial to having the 'Animal Crosser' in Brawl instead. I wouldn't mind if that character was to be the Animal Crossing representative (Assuming there is one), but I don't find it to be likely. Tom Nook seems to be the poster boy of Animal Crossing, like I said in an earlier post. When you think of Animal Crossing's cast you'll immediately think about Tom Nook. The Animal Crossing icon is even a Tanuki leaf, further proving Tom Nook's status as the iconic character of AC.
You shot yourself in the foot with that statement. If you say that it would be simple to remove him from the background, then why won't it be likely for it to be possible?

I was originally rooting for Nook. I just know when to give up. And simple =/= likely.
With both Nook and K.K. Slider in the bench, I turned to the Animal Crosser.

OMG! KK Rider is far from deconfirmed, he is only deconfirmed on saturday nights lulz [/sarcasm]
You people should stop hallucinating and deal with the reality of the situation, Tom Nook is deconfirmed and far from playable!

Not a particular fan of Nook, but, as I remember the only thing that was confirmed as a deconfirmation is assist trophies, so why is a stage appearence a deconfirmation?
Boy, the community sure loves making up rules.

Smash Hero
That's a stupid rule made up by stupid wishful thinkers in these boards, to see a character in the game as NOT playable is enough proof to deconfirm him, this is just wishful thinking.
adumbrodeus
Smash Legend
Ehhh, No, assists trophies were stated on Dojo as meaning that a character will not be playable, to date NOTHING ELSE HAS THIS DISTINCTION!
Decomfirmation means that the gamemakers have released absolute proof that the character will not be playable, be it official word or what they have officially defined as "cannot be playable and also do this".
Have you read the minds of the programmers?
If not then how do you know what placement means they will not be playable.
It's not a rule, it's an understanding that in such conditions there is no rule.
