You're in denial, bro. Little Mac is definitely deconfirmed, I don't think 1up could mistake it.

Yes I am partially in denial, but Knuckle Joe already does something very similar to how they described Little Mac. I think they might have mixed them up.

Or it could just be speculation from the way they worded it. I simply wont believe it until I see it.

*sigh* Of all the franchises to get the screw job, why Punch-Out? Of course, 1UP isn't the most dependable source, but still... things do not bode well at all for everyone's favorite game boxer...

Well, I didn't think he would be in, but he is a cool character. Maybe next gen.

It could've been, but I don't think Little Mac would do Knuckle Joe's Gattling Punch thing.

The only thing I see a mix-up, really, if it happened to be another Punch Out!! boxer being an AT instead of Little Mac.

Find a video that shows Mac in action. I want to know if it's either the NES version or the SNES version? If he is blonde-haired in SSBB, then that means the SNES boxer is seriously the remake of the NES Little Mac. If he is black-haired in SSBB, then I'm gonna have to say that the SNES boxer is the remake of the wire boxer from the arcade versions, while I would say that people are right about the SNES boxer being named "Little Mac" or simply "Mac" in EA's GCN version of Fight Night Round 2 not being canon.

Anyone who has just one mention in the suggestions is probably going to be an assist, of course the character entrances are back, and I remember sending in a request asking for him to return them and make them even more unique (which I don't believe showed up in the list of suggestions he posted), and judging by the videos, he actually did it. That's so cool...

I guess the team couldn't come up with any moves besides punches. It would be weird if Little Mac did kicks and projectiles anyway. I do understand the de-confirmation.

I can't BELIEVE NES LITTLE MAC WAS DECONFIRMED!!!

He's...he's perfect for Brawl, goddammit!!!

But SNES Mac...no way. Way too ugly, and if one Mac is deconfirmed, it's quite likely that the other will not be playable.

NES Mac is way too plain. NES Mac looks uglier when sitting with Doc Louis in the game than when sitting with Doc Louis in the instruction manual.

If there is a video or pic, then I would like to see it. Otherwise, I think it's pointless to make assumptions. You can be disappointed/happy about it when we see a pic/video.

They came up with a whole moveset for Marth, if they can do that they can definitely come up with a moveset for Little Mac. His B moves would be easy enough anyway. The beauty of his moveset is that it would just use punches, it would be awesome. If Little Mac isn't in Brawl, it's for other reasons than not being able to come up with a moveset.

If y'all want to discuss about the NES Mac, then go to the Character Index Thread and click on "Little Mac (NES)".

This thread is actually about the SNES version. In my opinion, the SNES version is probably the most recent version, while it has more potential than the NES version does. Also, if Kirby copied NES Mac, it would be hard to tell if he is imitating NES Mac or not, when it comes to zooming the camera out. Also, Kirby isn't allowed to wear anything on his hands, but he is allowed to hold some things. It would be easier to tell who Kirby is imitating if he copied SNES Mac.

It might be true, but we'll have to see if he really is in SSBB. The 1UP.com staff are probably looking at Knuckle Joe or someone similar. As soon as October 18th comes, there will be more videos.

ummm... I didn't mention NES Mac at all. I don't believe that the "Little Mac assist trophy" has been said to be either NES Mac or SNES Mac, so far. Personally I think that either way Mac is Mac and NES Mac and SNES Mac are deconfirmed if Mac is an assist trophy in either form. As for NES Mac and SNES Mac, I have no preference between the two of them, except that I don't want Little Mac to be too small as a playable character. It'll probably be an updated design on his character.

Meh, I never played Punch Out so today's update doesn't really excite me. I was like. W/e, another assist trophy.

Rub it in why don't ya, Sakurai... :mad:
Guess the Smash Icon confirms that there will be no playable character or stage from Punch-Out... Too bad, a boxing ring would have made for an awesome stage...

I think they obviously wanted to put him in as a playable character, as he's very retro and from a really loved game and whatever - the character model isn't a lift like Meowth's or something, but actually a complex redesign like they did with Ice Climbers. Eh, whatever.

Same with Lyn, i think Sakurai had a change of plans for some reason with those characters.
