They should also add the old man with the banjo from the cover of Phalanx. He would be everyone's favorite.

Marvel vs Capcom eh?Originally Posted by eggwolio
I guess they could go for Nintendo vs Third-Parties.
Mario, Link, Kirby and Pikachu go up against Sonic, Snake, Pacman and Bomberman. That'll be a crazy franchise game in itself apart from Smash Bros, but somehow, i dont see it happening.
Bring in PC platform characters while you're at it =P Characters from the Warcraft universe would be awesome.
I'd love to play as Grom Hellscream or Arthas =P While that wouldn't happen, that would be amazing =) If they'd kept on with Ghost, maybe Nova could have made an appearance. Nova vs. Samus.. yum
Bringing back Pit should make alot of Kid Icarus fans happy who still long for a sequel, least this is a start.
Snake being in this should bring more kinds of surprises.

I like how including Snake has sparked even more OMG I WANT THIS GUY IN SMASH crap. As soon as a Konami character shows up, everyone thinks Capcom's on board.
How about we wait until there's more info?
Poorly typed messages make my head hurt.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Nintendo and Miyamoto involved in the GC version of Metal Gear Solid? That's why we're seeing Snake in this game. By that train of thought, it's possible we'd see Pac-Man as a character, but that's probably a bit of a stretch. What could Pac-Man do, besides bite you and kwetch about the "good old days"?
Sonic, of course, would be an excellent choice, but is that realistic? Probably not. I'll just cross my fingers and hope that Wii Sonic turns out to be good (the videos I saw were promising, but choppy).
I don't know what other Nintendo characters could make an appearance, besides the existing ones. R.O.B., perhaps?

God I hope Olmar is in the game that would rock.
Doesn't have to be though I'm already excited about Wario in there, my one of my fav charictors.

I like how nobody was bitchin when Link was in Soul Caliber, but now Snake's in Smash and its a big problem (with some people). :/ C'mon guys. Its not like they're adding some punk ass, undeserving character. Its the legendary Solid Snake. I'm sure they will figure out a way to make him work. Have faith.
If this game can have Mario vs. Sonic, I will actually buy a Wii. If it doesn't, I probably won't, simply because they named it Wii.
That is the dumbest thing I have heard in a long time, and I have been around since the EZboard days...Originally Posted by alec

IGN updated their article. Specifically questions Sonic's possibility for being in the game and announces that Nintendo intends for Brawl to have online play!

Boo! No Mr. Game and Watch! Probably my favorite character from SSB:M.Sakurai announced Bowser Jr., the "Celda" version of Link, and Ridely, the archenemies of Samus, would all be joining the cast of characters for the Wii release. Three current characters that will not be returning: The Ice Climbers, Mr. Game & Watch, and Young Link. Sakurai stated he wants a roster 40 deep, with 1-2 more non-Nintendo characters.
Yes! Ridely! I was going to make that bold predection earlier. Too bad I didn't.
Double Yes! Windwaker Link is replacing young link! Perfect!
And 1 or 2 more non-Nintendo characters? Hum. Telling you, Sonic is a lock and fans will go wild.
So 40 fighters huh?
Confirmed are:
Wario
Metaknight
Pit
Zero Suit Samus
Mario
Link
Pikachu
Samus
Kirby
Ridely
Windwaker Link
Bowser Jr.
Solid Snake
That leaves 27 more fighters. Even with the rest of the Melee roster make it in:
Ness, Fox, Falco, Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, Roy, Marth, Mewtwo, Pichu, Jigglypuff, Peach, Zelda, Luigi, Dr. Mario, Yoshi, Bowser, and Donkey Kong.
That still leaves 10 more slots.
I liked mr game and watch as well. Young link was kinda redundant with "normal" link anyways, would be even more so with celda. It will be interesting to see all these charictors each with there own unique designs.
I dont know about ridley however hell have to be much smaller then usuall.
EDIT Just thought of another great charictor, Viewtiful Joe. I dont think he could speed up or slow down but he got a bunch of other moves to kickass with.

I was thinking more of the size difference represented in the original NES version. About x1.5 the size of Samus. Maybe along the lines of Bowser.Originally Posted by Nez
I don't know, I think Windwaker Link will fit just fine. Even if some of his attacks are similar/same, the mannerisms will be completely different between the two and that would be enough to differentiate the fighters I'd think.
Other characters that I hope make it are:
Tetra (Wind Waker)
R.O.B. (the Robot)
Eggplant Wizard (Kid Icarus)
Little Mac (Punchout)
King Hippo (Punchout)
Paper Mario (Paper Mario)
Starman or Great Puma (Pro Wrestling)
Mona (WarioWare)
Fulgore (Killer Instinct)
Mike (StarTropics)
Guests:
Nei (Phantasy Star II)
Bionic Commando (Bionic Commando)
well the deal is that you can't think of any companies and games that already have fighting games under their belts. so no capcom charactors, no SNK charactors, and no soul caliber characters. manily do to the insanly different playing style of the the SSB games. You have to think of "NEW" charactors that havn't been in any really big fighting series (like SF, SC, KOF) so simon belmont can work, katamary damacy can work, billy hatcher, and the list goes on. atleast this is my own theory with the series.
I just had the best idea ever for a character: A Gunstar Hero.

Actually that is one of the better ideas I've heard =DOriginally Posted by SkiDragon
They are pretty much perfect for a fighting game.
Kudos
