Playable characters confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl

[master_d_68]

Yeah, kinda makes sense seeing how Snake debuted on the NES with Metal Gear and Snake's Revenge....Well technically he debuted on the MSX, but ya know. I can only hope Nintendo, since they felt they had to add Snake, go ahead and throw Sonic into the mix. Here's hoping Snake's inclusion doesn't lead to other third-party character thrown in, Cloud wouldn't make sense at all.

Neither Kirby or Solid Snake are Nintendo characters. Kirby is a HAL Laboratories character (They made Smash Bros. to begin with, so that's why he's in there at all) and Solid Snake is a Konami character.

from all the banter back and forth in other game forums (it was also mentioned in this thread) konami asked for snake to be in a Smash bros game back when melee was in production.

Yeah, but there aren't any non-nintendo kirby games so that technically makes him a nintendo character.

whatev

[noob3]

by the previews, it looks as if they're going to have cough SUPER SMASH moves :0 i just hope poo's in it and he can fucking STAR STORM

it'd be like pk flash i'm guessing but it wouldnt be gay

he'd also have a kirby like ability (mirror!) but it wouldnt be gay

also they need RAICHU for a damn heavy-weight pikachu COME ON, NINTENDO!

also, they need to un-nerf jigglypuff (my fav character) and make her down air smash SMASH DOWN no more mario twirly kick thx

[CaptainBubba]

Jiggly-Puffs down B has a secret that makes it worth while. Try using it then as you are touching ground but still while hitting target use the move where you go to sleep. ;p

Actually I'm not sure if it still works in Melee but in the N64 one it is a one hit instant kill.

[Emu]

They have to be asleep first.

[noob3]

jiggly's down b only connects if jiggly puff is overlapping the opponent (ontop of them). it's not an instant kill, but over like 40% it is

they do not have to be asleep. her lullaby is a terrible move except in some 2v2 situations

[Matt Harty]

yeah this game takes a ton of strategy

[Skulhedface]

It seems to me that since the new Nintendo system (god dammit, I refuse to refer to it as "Wii") is offering downloadable old school games, INCLUDING SEGA GAMES if I've heard right, it might be possible we'd see Sonic or something...

[the_dudefather]

sonic was hotly rumored to be in the last one if i remember right (as sega had gone software and released sonic adventure 2 for gamecube)

[Skulhedface]

you're right, that was an EGM hoax I believe but this time, I dunno, it seems more legitimate this time around.

Possibly.

[MarioRPG]

I don't think Sonic would be that good of a character to have. Nor the addition of more Pokemon.

[Emu]

I think he would be a great character. He would have the speed to counterbalance Fox and very likely he would have something similar to Jigglypuff's spinning charge move, only he'd be strong enough to tear through some bitches.

In a way, considering Pokemon is dying out pretty much, it would make sense to have less appearances. I will say, though, that using the Pokeballs were fun, nonetheless.

[Schimid]

The only reason Jigglypuff and Pikachu got in are because they're the two most popular Pokémon, I think. I guess Mewtwo was in there to counterbalance the cuteness, and it's a good idea I think. Pichu, no idea.

I think if they add ANYONE else, and this is a big IF, it should be an actual character...like, Ash. I can't name any of the new ones and the old ones don't possess the appeal that the ones that're already there do.

[Emu]

Since when is Jigglypuff a popular pokemon?

Since the first smash bros.

[Schimid]

I wouldn't doubt that it's the second-most popular. Take Japan into consideration, too.

[Girl Drink Drunk]

It probably has to do with Jiggly Puff's appearances on the cartoon and the long-running joke.

[maggiekarp]

Pyramid Head


Metaknight is awesome, I'm very happy for him being in it. I'd like for some cameos of Wario Ware characters, but that probably won't happen...

Banjo & Kazooie might be possible, huh?

[Emu]

I think the Ice Climbers taught us that team fighters kind of really suck.

[Schimid]

Dude whatever Ice Climbers are fantastic. You just have to play with them a while and get used to it.

There's something about the Air Forward+A hit where they both slam the mallet into the other guy's head. Since there're two of them, it's almost a 50% damage first hit.

Banjo-Kazooie wouldn't be bad, if they weren't owned by Rare. It wouldn't even need to be a team thing, since Kazooie would just chill in the backpack the whole time, maybe only coming out to shoot an egg or two. I could actually see them as being a Yoshi clone maybe.

Someone else had the idea that they should have a character just named "Belmont" or "The Belmonts" and have different costumes be the different members of the family, just so no-one's too disappointed.

[Emu]

Or it could just change their name depending on their costume.
