I'm not usually one to jump the gun on these kinds of things (as I'm usually the one arguing against the people who automatically assume things), but...

I am now willing to claim that (unless we get a playable character with this symbol) the "icon" theory is officially dead (if we get a character, the theory would still be viable.) And, as a result, the AC represenatives just took a major kick in the crotch. Though not 100% dead, they're hurting like ****!

As for characters who could have the DS symbol as theirs...well. No one immediately comes to mind.

The head silhouette on the box art of the Brain Age games would likely be Dr. Kawashima's symbol, Phoenix Wright would have the silhouette of him pointing (because that's his icon on the box art), and Derek Stiles would have a medical cross. Anyone else...?

Now, while it's true that anyone of these guys could use the DS as the symbol, it's unlikely as they have their own.

Also, Miis are a Wii thing, so it's doubtful that they would get a DS as the symbol.

Well, the Battlefield stage in Melee had it's own symbol.

I like Nook but I'm not having a heart attack about his chances. They are low. And the Animal Crossers are pretty boring looking.

It's not the DS logo. It's Touch Generations. There can be a Touch Generations character. Elite Beat Agents were on the poll. And I think another one may have too. It's not over till it's over, and if you don't like it, there is no need to call us dumb or flame us.

Quoted for truth.


I don't think anyone really ever thought otherwise. He has a slim chance still, but I'm going with New Age Retro Hippie (generic enemy from Earthbound, aka Mother 2) as having a better chance.

I feel sorry for Tom Nook fans but given this, I can't help but feel glad I don't have to ZOMG the icon means a character phase.

AC fans have taken blow after blow after blow. It's time to throw in the towel

So a bunch of insignificant arguments like icon differences and backgrounds eliminates the Stage, Music, and Overwhelming Popularity of animal crossing?

Look, Our arguments arent going to make him any more or less in brawl. Just say you dont like him or admit that he would be a worthy addition and move on.

I love Tom Nook. He would be cool to have in brawl. But just because I think that doesnt mean I'm going to dellude myself into thinking he has a chance anymore.

AND I LAUGH AT THEM! MWAHAHAHA! :chuckle: (j/k)
Ouch, that hurts, even with the J/K

[third-grade-voice]we're not friends anymore >:p[/third-grade-voice]

But honestly, I think that Smashville perfectly represents the franchise on it's own. What other stage has so much content built into it?
I'd be content, but it still seems a little weird to have a stage repping a franchise with no character rep. BUT, Brawl is a new game, so expect new things, I guess :ohwell:

as for a stage with more content: Pictochat.

LOL. Sorry HMBG. I will admit there was a little spite toward the hard-core Nookies, namely Dantedemonslayr, Zombie Cola, 100links, and xianfeng, in that comment... Ya might remember there's been some bad blood between us, especially summer of last year... (Vindication's a *****, ain't it Nook Nazis? :demon:) Ah well... Just goes to show what a petty individual I can be... :embarrass

Not forgetting the real time features, are we? K.K. Slider's Saturday night performance @ 8:00 PM in particular... CRAZY...:psycho: They might actually be putting too much into this game...

I really want him to be in the game. His final smash needs to be him calling in the debt on your house to crush you.
That'd be epic.
