I know Zelda is returning, but they haven't shown Shiek. Does that mean Shieks not in?
Or are they just putting us on the edge of our seats, and keeping us wondering?
Falco. OMG FALCO OWNZ!!...sorry about that, just couldn't help it. I would definitely cry if he weren't in brawl. However, I'd be a little happier if he came out with different moves and didn't look like Fox(except switched heads, hands and tails).
Captain Falcon is a must, I'll send nintendo a letter if they don't have him in Brawl. Not the best character in Melee in my opinion, but definitely a fun one. I posted my idea for what his final smash should be like if any one cares...
I would also be very sad if Marth were absent from brawl. I just started playing him recently in Melee, and I think he's a very needed character to be in brawl. The a pure sword fighter, unlike Link, who uses arrows, bombs, and boomerangs. 3 of his possible 4 are taken away from his sword usage, which is good for him. But thats why I like Marth, he is a dedicated sword user, and I think because of that, he has better sword skills(I apologize to any I may have offended).
Roy, I'm not too concerned about, just because his arial A attacks do less damage, and I LOVE arial battles. If he were included in Brawl, I'd only play him if he had a totally new set of moves apart from a clone of Marth.
I want Ganondorf in too, but, his moves need to be changed, thats all.
Wolf would be cool, but I have no reason to expect him in it, so i wont be let down if he's not.
Not to say I don't want Sonic in(because I do), but like a lot of you said, theres no real reason for him to be in. No official statemants, no promises, not even a believable rumor.
As for Ridley, only because his body structure is so weird, I'm gonna have to say he should be more for an A.T., and not an actual playable character.
Sora from Kingdom Hearts would be sweet, but it ain't gonna happen.
Now, no matter how much I know Blaziken probably wont be in the game, I'll still be a little dissappointed if he weren't in just because he would be an awsome character.
