RE: The official Super Smash Brawl thread/characters.
All the characters that you have listed are in for sure and they are a gaurenteed spot in Brawl I have been getting Smash profiles through Nintendo Power and they are all confirmed to be true. If you can get some of theese issues and Pikachu is in the game for sure. Anyway that item you have does look like a hammer of some sort and it is cool. Also that item sounds like something out Of Super Metroid but I know it is not. The reason I say that is because of they way you can hold it and fire it too sort of like the Grapple beam but only that you cannot grab on to any thing with it but it sounds like you can fire it in the same way though.
Alchemist_Almighty said:No, those are rumored characters. Nintendo has not confirmed any of those. The only ones that HAVE been confirmed are:
Returning Fighters:
Mario
Link
Kirby
Pikachu
Fox
Samus, although featured in the first movie, has NOT been confirmed in her armored form
Newcomers:
Pit
Meta Knight
Zero-Suit Samus
Wario
Solid Snake
Everyone else has NOT been confirmed by Nintendo. They are simply popular hopefuls that will be included in the game.
I couldn't agree more with you. Sega and Nintendo's recent co-projects have certainly hinted towards Sonic being in SSBB. Then again, they could be oblivious to all the hub-ub fans are generating and not include him, but my guess is that a Sega mascot will probably be making its way onto SSBB. I can't think of a bigger mascot for Sega than Sonic though...Anyways, Sega is coming out with a new game call Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (yes, I know. Very, very odd.). So, if Sega obviously has permission to use a Nintendo character, then Nintendo can use a Sega character! Also, both SSBB and MSOG are coming out very, very close to the same time.
The above information makes me almost positive that Sonic is going to be in Brawl. Positive.
Anywho, site's been updated again. This time they've shown another new item; the Cracker Launcher.
Sounds like another hammer-type weapon to me.Official SSBB website said:This is a shooting item. Basically, you hold it in your arms. After you grab this item, it�ll rapidly release blast after blast of firecrackers that explode gaudily. You can walk around and jump while holding the launcher.
You can also aim the launcher at different angles by tilting the Control Stick up or down.
