Well, it Brawl's online mode is as "half-assed" as people claim the mode in Super Mario Strikers is, I'll be happy. Strikers is lag-free the majority of the time (and it handles what does rear its ugly head quite well), and you can reject players with too high a skill level (or a sh*tty connection). The leaderboards are nice, and the layout is nice and simple.

There is no voice chat, but who the hell wants to hear screaming kids while playing Smash?

Anybody notice a the cannonball that was shot out of the smoke and pwnd Mario right before Petey made his badass appearance? The smoke made it look like they were intentionally trying to hide someone. It wasn't the Halberd. It had already left, and the shot came from ground level. There is only one Nintendo character I know of that fires cannonballs, drops cannonballs, and loves cannonballs.

Oh cool video! lol I the little robot reference. I like peaty as well so it's cool to see him in there. And I'd love to see that crazy croc pirate in the game.

The update is late. Is today a holiday in Japan or something?

It's about time Diddy Kong showed up. If Roy does not make a return (and he won't) Diddy is going to be my new character. K-rool would totally rock, I just hope the single player boss characters are playable.

Also, is the online multiplayer friend codes only, or has that been announced?
I wouldn't like friend code only as I barely know anyone with a Wii in the first place.

Nothing has been announced regarding online.

Diddy is about the only DKC character I like, and I guess an addition to the DK roster was overdue.

Yes, Diddy Kong! Another new guy to choose specifically just for giving him a good beatdown and rank up his falls! If Nes is gone, I have found his replacement.

Sweet! Diddy Kong is an awesome addition. Although I'm sure TMB will be disappointed Dixie isn't involved. I like it better that way, actually.

Two new roster additions in two weeks. Things are looking up!

Maybe you guys talked about this already but I'm not about to read the whole topic to find out...

I wonder if they will do downloadable characters or even levels and trophys for that matter. I think that would be totally awesome. I know this is Wii and not 360 but I always liked that about the 360. I don't have a Wii so I don't know how their online system works but if they did something like that I'd be even happier to buy a Wii for this game.

It's a possibility, but knowing Nintendo, not likely.

Anyway, last night I dreamt they announced Michelangelo. It was so cool. Diddy Kong is cool, though. I'm even more interested to play as him because of how Sakurai described his whimsical moves and whatnot.

I'm not holding my breath for downloadable characters or stages or whatever, but I could see downloadable trophies or stickers being a definite possibility.

I really really really hate sitting here waiting to find out who is or isn't going to be brought back in.

Screw it. I'm so haaaaaaaaaaaapy! Diddy is the equalizer. As long as Diddy is in a Donkey Kong related game, Miyamoto can't get his grubby hands on it because its rooted in 1994. Don't need Dixie. Diddy is all that matters. That was the important one, and I got what I wanted.

While I'm not worried at all, thanks to all the great new roster additions, I'm with you on wishing they'd just show us their hand; in terms of who got cut and who's returning.

Back onto Diddy for a moment, any particular reason they decided to have him advertise Nintendo on his hat? I think it looks stupid, they should have put a star, or just left it blank. Other than that, I agree with Cure on how interesting Diddy sounds. The way Sakurai described his movement seems like it could be pretty cool. I think I found out the first new character I'm gonna use when the game comes out. (If he's not un-lockable, anyways)

Because Rare put the logo there in 1995 for DKC2. Its kind of stuck with the character now after this long.

I think it's cool they're using the different shell powers from SMW as Yoshi's final smash.
