RE: The official Super Smash Brawl thread/characters.
Okay this topic is starting to get real spammy real quick... let's change the subject, eh?
But before I do, I just want to point out something.
I disagree saying that Doc and Mario are clones of each other. If you've played Mario your whole life in Melee and all of a sudden on a whim choose Dr. Mario, you're not going to perform as well because of their differences (like their fairs as I pointed out way back). Their smash A attacks are also very different. Just because their attacks look similar doesn't mean they do the same thing. None of their moves are identical, save maybe the cape for all intents and purposes.
Mewtwo_93: You've asked like 15 trillion times if Yoshi is going to be in Brawl. Yes, he's in. He's one of the original 12, and a Yoshi-esque theme is shown in the second trailer. Flying Goonies scream Yoshi's name. He is DEFINITELY IN Brawl.
Stop asking. :/ If a character is part of the original 12, he or she is pretty much in. If you want to know if a character from Melee is in Brawl, ask yourself; Does this character have a recent game made for them? If the answer is no, chances are they will not return. This means that Doc Mario and Ice Climbers are undoubtedly gone, G&W is likely, and this is just me hoping here but Roy too because he is a loser. If the answer is yes, then they could be in.
Peach and Zelda WILL be in Brawl, guaranteed. I've already explained why.
Ness is part of the original 12, but his last game was for SNES. Is he in? He should be, the original 12 trump all other characters and will be in the game without a doubt.
Mewtwo has no reason to leave, either. I think he's important enough to stay.
Don't ask about anyone else. We have no idea. Heck, even my predictions could be completely wrong. The only ones that know are Brawl's development team, and until Sakurai specifically confirms a character as in or out, everything we're posting is PURE SPECULATION.
Anyway...
We know one third-party character is Snake. Another will most likely be Sonic. But there's a lot of other companies to choose from, and [supposedly?] just one more spot. Who would be a good, real candidate for the position?
My brother would like to see Sora, which I guess wouldn't be too bad an addition. Something doesn't sound right about him in Brawl, though, but I can't put my finger on it.
I've heard Megaman as a choice, which would also be good, but the question is, which one do you choose? Megaman, X, or .EXE or whatever the one from Battle Network is? They could rule out Megaman as a classic character and use X, which would be pretty cool. I don't know the first thing about Battle Network, so I couldn't tell you anything about the .EXE version.
I got nothing else. Discuss plz kthx.
