Confirmed Character discussion

[Doctor Grudge]

Just because they're in there doesn't mean that it's good. I think that Solid Snake in the Smash series is going to be really weird.

- Captain R.D. Obvious

I think to many people are sweating Snake being in Super Smash. Samus and Captain falcon have adult builds just like Snake does, its just that there moves are more fictional. They could just give snake the stinger, a bunch of kung fu moves and grenades and bam. (Plus the tranquelizer, since I doubt they'd show real guns)

The thing that makes me happiest is that unlike some of the newcomers in SSBM, it seems like all of these are completely new characters, not just existing characters with altered stats(Pichu, Young Link, Ganon, etc).

The thing that's weird, for me at least, is that it's not Nintendo...it just means another boundary is taken down. I dunno, just seems odd to see someone else there.

Sooner or later, Master Chief's gonna show up. (No, not really.)

And thank GOD for the lack of Kirby Cloning.

[Kereokacola]

Clones. Psh. I highly doubt that will be returning, at least I HOPE not. I think the developers will be more creative this time in the sense that all characters will be unique in their own special way.

[Chill]

Scav just stole my placenta!

[Mic_128]

Diddy's a GUARANTEE, according to the screenshots. (He's in one of them, yet is not mentioned)

No he's not. If he was in any of the screens/vid, it would have been a bit obvious, with them pausing the video, with the name of the char and "NEW CHARACTER" under them.

[Bread-Butterer]

Metaknite has cheap air combos. Nurf him.

Yeah I know what your saying. Trust me I was one of those guys who though the chances of a third party character being in Brawl would be zero


But the good thing about this isn't that Snake is in it. But the fact that Sonic can be in it, and the idea of Sonic fighting Mario is really just my dream come true ever since I was 5.

[Scav]

Look what I did, Mic! :D

Anyways, everyone check the first post. This topic is for the discussion of confirmed characters. Right now, that basically means discussion of the trailer :P but the next person to say something like "K. Rool" or "Sonic" will get a frownie face, and maybe a few lashes.

But I definitely recognized a lot of the moves Mario used, such as the downsmash and forwardsmash. Perhaps more will carry over from SSBM than I thought.

Ohh, and offtopic, because I'm a bad example: Link crouch canceled!

[Sensai]

Clones. Psh. I highly doubt that will be returning, at least I HOPE not. I think the developers will be more creative this time in the sense that all characters will be unique in their own special way.

Oh, I don't mind if they return. But Meta is too cool to be a clone, much less a Kirby one. Clones aren't really all that similar the second you pick one up. :-/

Recent IGN pictures and video show the original Samus for SSBB, also Pit as a new character.... should add to first page

http://media.revolution.ign.com/media/748/748545/vids_1.html

[Resting_Fox]

So Scav's the mod of this madhouse?

Good Luck.

Anyway, I don't think Metaknight's sword combos are actually gonig to be too overbalanced. If you saw, they had little knockback, and probably would be programmed to have reasonable damage. The combos are mostly a matter of making him seem cool.

But god, Pit...I can't wait to use him even though the videos make it seem like 'he;d be...crap'

Incorrect. The trailer shows Samus in her full suit doing a fully charged blast. But, she immediately takes off her suit.

Samus is going to be in it. I have no doubt. But I'm going to be stingy about what is "confirmed" and what isn't. Those 8 are confirmed, and I'll add a section soon for "Semi-confirmed" such as suited Samus (ie, people that we've seen in screenshots but that haven't been acknowledged by a news website).

[Sensai]

Show me Geno! Show me Mallow! Show me King K. ROOL!

Zelda was confirmed in an interview between TSA of TheHylia (Mike Damiani) and Iwata. He didn't go into detail, but that's what he said. Source: TheHylia.com

[wiiii]

Yay! Rejoice!

As for the post above...

He's got wings?

[Edit:]

Where's Cpt. Olimer!? C'mon, where be the Pikmin!?

[The Bino]

the trailer looks crazy hot... i just saw it and was amazed... the graphics from melee gameplay to the Brawl gameplay was just sick... and it looks like that they added Special Attacks like i was hoping for... i can't wait to play this... i am buying 2 Wii's when it's released and 2 copies of Brawl

Confirmed characters only in here!

[Mario Moonshine]

The character on the left in the picture, admit you were WRONG now, Mic_128!

[Revolutions]

That's Mario. Watch the trailer again.

[Mario Moonshine]

I only have the screenshots right now, the trailer download is in progress though.

[Bloshi]

They better keep all the characters from melee in brawl (except for marth+roy, who the hell are they anyway?) as well as the new characters. How are they gonna fit all these people on one screen?

And Ganondorf better have a freakin' sword or two this time around!!!!!!

[spud]

On topic, Samus would be made even cooler with a Sheik/Zelda style change, but she can't lose her bombs of missiles or up-b. If you could like press a button and take off the suit, so sweet.

[EdreesesPieces]

I dont know. I'll take Non Nintendo characters that I like and are awesome (snake) over Nintendo characters no one cared about or heard before the game came out (Game and Watch) It's not like you associated Game and Watch, marth or roy with Nintendo when Melee came out, there was no difference almost, even though they were Nintendo no one even knew who they were. So what difference does it really make? This could help make the game even more popular and have tournaments and a scene as big as fighting games like Street Fighter.

[_marth1_]

xd........

[Nike]

it seemed they gave meta knight kirby's multiple jump ability (he uses it in the fight with pit)

[Scintillatedseed]

one problem though,

street fighter = serious game of gayness

ssbb = hilarious game of awesome

That's because you probably have never mastered street fighter to much extent because the balancing system of characters was phenominal in third strike, it's why it's still around in tournies.

But back to the topic, WOOOT! SSBB!! I can't wait to see sonic in it, that's gonna be so totally cool.

[Resting_Fox]

Yup, Metaknight and Pit are among the ranks of those quasi-fliers. It makes me so happy to see my ideas for them come to life.

[xianfeng]

I can't find a trailer arghh I am dyeing help me people give me a trailer i have seen screenshots but that's it YAY pit!

[Dibs]

What exactly does kirby's special do?

[Zander805]

I think Geno should be allowed in. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles would be tight also, but no one else from Sonic games is worthy...

[<3]

I think I've come to that point in my relationship where i'm going to ask nintendo... to marry me.

Me and Zero Suit Samus are gonna need to have a little chat... no bombs? Heh, I kid very happy I'm alive right about now.

Less Than Three Wii Exclamation Point.

[McCloud]

Pit and Meta having multi jumps is just too sweet for words.

I'm looking through the site now, but I can't find the interview. If you can show me the link, I'll put Zelda as confirmed.

And I've seen nothing of Diddy.

And I'm going to start warning people for mentioning non-confirmed characters soon, once the euphoria wears off.

[Hyper Luigi]

Pit, Wario and Meta Knight were some of my top NEEDS for the character roster. Pit especially and man does he ever looked wicked awesome.

Sonic seems very likely now. I hope they get Mega Man, Bomerman and Pac Man as well. That cover Hudson, Sega, Konami, Namco and Capcom. 5 companies that have done joint projects with Nintendo as of recent and those characters are video game legends without a doubt. Hi my name is Hyper Luigi and I don't know how to read Scav's directions.

The official site's "how this game came to be" section mentions that the characters from Melee are supose to be untouched. So that means they're all back.

It's sounds like Nintendo really wants this to be freak'n huge and are doing whatever they can to please the growing fanbase by throwing in more Nintendo nostalgia and giving us the characters we are dying to play as. So far so good.

I'm buying a Wii for sure now. Though to be honest they had me at Duck Hunt.

[xianfeng]

Yes I saw the trailer and am hooked now if nintendo doesn't give me another one I will rip their balls off I want more!

But that bit with snake is cool and the wario fart move is so funny and cool

[Kereokacola]

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but that was in regards to earlier development, when they were going to re-release an updated version of Melee through a different company. That being said, the original creator wasn't going to be involved.

Though I do hope the main characters of Melee return, excluding the clones.

Why so much hate for the clones? They are relatively easy for the developer to add in and they are different enough to provide a new playstyle. I'd really rather have 5 clones than 1 brand new character. Plus, if you take any of the clones out from SSBM some people will get really pissed.
