I've been playing Ness for 8 years (since shortly after smash 64 came out) , and for the first time, I'm really starting to fear that he won't be returning in Brawl. Until today, Sakurai had only been posting about characters that were either already confirmed or were obvious (OMFG!! DK IS CONFIRMED!!!! No crap. Yoshi, Bowser, and Zelda, too? Well, I'll be). I was really hoping that Ness would be confirmed this week, seeing as the 8 starters from smash 64 have all been confirmed. In the event that Ness wasn't confirmed, I imagined that I'd see either Snake, Meta Knight, or one of the other three hidden characters in smash 64 go up. I never thought I'd see a brand new character, and it's really got me scared.
Really though, the reason I'm making this post is to find out not what your opinion is on whether or not Ness SHOULD return, but whether or not he WILL return. When Sakurai said not all characters are returning, was he only talking about the clones, but left it ambiguous to get us all excited? Will all of the characters from melee return, and Sakurai just said they won't to get more hype going for the game (I mean, really, we'd clearly be "stoked" as Reggie put it, but the smash community wouldn't seem as excited if we weren't hanging on every character announcement, and I'm pretty sure that Sakurai is using our excitement to build excitement outside of our community. He could easily cover it up later and say "well, the response to that statement was so great, that I decided to go ahead and include all of the characters from melee!")? Do you think, though all of the characters will not return, that the original twelve are safe? Is the original lineup from Melee safe? The question is this: Do you think Ness WILL return, regardless of your personal opinion on him? (Though I'm focusing on Ness, this thread kind of applies to Falcon, Jiggly, and Luigi as well, but I'm pretty sure they're returning, whether anyone likes it or not.)
