Right behind you with a knife.
The newcomers so far are probably mostly starters, with Sonic and Snake being unlockable. I'd say that at most we're going to have about five secret new comers, and that's really pushing it at this point.

I'm guessing that there's a good amount of characters (Maybe 10-15?) Sakurai has yet to show us.

double...DOUBLE? Brawl has probably twice as many musicians as melee did total developers. It has the largest team for any one game of all time I believe by a large margin. I wouldn't doubt the thought of 40++ characters as a final total.

I'm pretty sure MGS4 has more developers working on it and I wasn't counting musiciansso I'm pretty sure it's still double melee's. But you have to realize melee had a huge team working on it.

THe only secret characters hes revealed, and hes only revealed them for hype purposes, are Sonic and Snake.

He also said in a podcast that there will be more characters than we can possibly imagine, so there will be mn=any more.

It's more or less a new rumor that came about late November/early December. Supposedly, this and along with the Subspace Emissary being over ten hours long, were supposedly mentioned in Famitsu.

The whole thing came from a Korean website that reports anything in particular from the magazine.

Maybe this includes Assist Trophies.

I come from the land of the ice and snow..
40-50. At this rate, anything else isn't logical.I mean seriously, I could count off 35 characters with just veterans that will return. 9 or less characters than Melee? With three times the development cycle, at least twice the staff, and Sakurai being given total freedom? Get real, man..

If he's meticulous enough about this game to put in stuff like spectator mode, coin launcher, overalls Wario, etc., how would he possibly forget the most important part of the game, the characters?

Anybody who says less than 40 isn't being conservative, they're being stupid.
