He was confirmed a long time ago.

As a prop.

^Yeah, but everyone from Animal Crossing is there, and we still have a logo, a stage, and no character.

Perhaps he won't appear when you play as him. That'd be simple enough to do.

...you cant let it die can you?
the only character who could represent the Animal Crossing franchise is the animal crosser. he/she is the one character who has more than one of him/her at once. it would make ALOT more sense to put in a animal crosser rather than have to remove tom nook from the backgroud after spending all the time putting him there, just to take him out and have to spend the time making another move set and stats and bug testing and all the other stuff.
personaly, I dont think we will get a rep PC for animal crossing. the stage is plenty as is with all its cool little features.

Or perhaps Nook is never playable. Perhaps the fact he first shown as a background stage prop immediately deconfirms him. I know it must be very hard to grasp, but ya know, that just might be the case.

The animal crosser is either a PC, or there simply is no character to go along with the stage. There was no Fire Emblem stage in Melee, yet Marth and Roy were legit fighters. Why can't the inverse (stage but no character) apply here?

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.

As much as I'd like to see that, we all must accept the fact that odds are he isn't going to be a selectable character.

Which sucks.

 

[Yigguth]

Which sucks.

Actually I'm pretty happy about it

 

[~Krystal~]

Actually I'm pretty happy about it

May I ask why? I didn't read the entire thread. tl/dr.

Just give me your reasons why you're happy about it. I just want to know. (Won't argue with you)

 

[ComradeCanada]

Animal Crosser is there too.
It'd be a simple variable switch that wouldn't be too difficult.

But meh, whatever you want to believe.

 

[A Link to the Snitch]

I'd honestly rather see Animal Crosser, and am surprised that there's no thread for him/her.

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

I'm surprised someone brought up a dead thread

 

[super-7]

hopefully it wont be nook. i would much rather have the animal crosser

 

[DeuceBlade]

Tom Nook is already in brawl... he hangs out with Pokemon Trainer.

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

Indeed and that's how he'll stay.

 

[A Link to the Snitch]

...? It's only two days old. Just because there's a lot of posts doesn't mean that anything way back is dead.

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

I don't care.

 

[A Link to the Snitch]

That's nice?

If a Tom Nook thread is opened up, people point to this thread.

It would inevitably been bumped.

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

Indeed it is.

Until I solve and/or hear every secret about SSBB, or if an official Dojo update states otherwise, I will root for Tom Nook.

The anti-Nook reasons are flimsy at best. Nook's in the background for Smashville? So then, if you play as him, he doesn't appear in the back; really, it's that easy.

And you know, if you have four Links slashing each other, four Pits shooting at each other, or four Warios biting each other, another Nook in the background isn't going to ruin anything.

Tom Nook also has great potential over generic Villager. But hey... no one said that BOTH of them cannot be in Brawl!
