The way I'm being optimistic about it is that Mewtwo is so made of win that he doesn't get to use that sticker like the rest of the Pokemon cuz he doesn't NEED it.


















But I doubt it.

Mewtwo was a cool character but definitely needed some tweaking. Though I won't be too upset if he doesn't come back. There are other characters I'd rather have come back than him.

Mewtwo isn't made of 'win', he is cloned from the genetically manipulated DNA of Me-

Oh, wait, I see. Never mind.

I've lifted this post from Kombo, because I'm too lazy to retype it. Take it with a grain of salt.

Quote:
Alright, this has been causing a massive internet uproar all day on Smashboards, Game Faqs, and Neogaf and it seems to be our very first, legit leak of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I think it's important to note some things right now:

-The "48 characters" rumor was BS. Apparantly, that wasn't from a Japanese newspaper at all and was actually typed up on a Japanese computer. There are 35 Characters.

-The Ness article in the Famitsu was only "hinting" that Ness would be cut and after the video yesterday that confirmed Lucario, Jigglypuff and his existence as playable characters, it is 100% clear that he wasn't cut. Ness is in Brawl.

-The list may come as a shock to some, mostly due to the fact that we have actually seen the majority of the characters on it and the ones we haven't seen aren't really all that shocking...well, two of them are, but whatever. Some of the characters many were expecting, however, did not make the cut. Also, we've seen all of the third party characters already.

-Not all stages with separate universe icons (aka Smashville and Pictochat) have character reps.

-Dr. Mario, Roy, Pichu, and Mewtwo did not make the cut. May their smashy souls rest in peace.

-SPOILERS AHEAD


Now then, onto the roster:

Spoiler:

Mario- Mario Bros.
Link- Legend of Zelda
Kirby- Kirby's Dreamland
Pikachu- Pokemon
Fox- Star Fox
Samus/ Zero Suit Samus- Metroid
Zelda/Sheik- Legend of Zelda
Bowser- Mario Bros.
Donkey Kong- Donkey Kong Country
Yoshi- Yoshi's Island
Peach- Mario Bros.
Ice Climbers- Ice Climber
Pit- Kid Icarus
Wario- Wario Ware
Ike- Fire Emblem
Pokemon Trainer (Charizard, Squirtle and Ivysaur)- Pokemon
Diddy Kong- Donkey Kong Country
Meta Knight- Kirby's Dreamland
Snake- Metal Gear Solid
Lucas- Mother
Sonic- Sonic the Hedgehog
King Dedede- Kirby's Dreamland
Pikmin & Olimar- Pikmin
Lucario- Pokemon
Ness- Mother
Jigglypuff- Pokemon
Ganondorf- Legend of Zelda
Luigi- Mario Bros.
Mr. Game & Watch- Game and Watch
Captain Falcon- F-Zero
Falco- Star Fox
Toon Link- Legend of Zelda
Wolf- Star Fox
Marth- Fire Emblem
R.O.B.- ???


So yeah, there is the cast of Super Smash Bros. Brawl in all it's glory. The only thing that is in question is the inclusion of
Spoiler:
R.O.B. and whether he is the same robotic operating buddy that is an enemy in Subspace or if he is the one from the StarFox series. But yeah, he's one hell of a WTF character and one awesome roster nonetheless. Not to mention if it is the character from StarFox then the series is getting MASSIVE representation in Brawl, with four characters (two vets, two newcomers). This makes it plain as day that Nintendo has a Star Fox game waiting in the wings, and they're trying to build anticipation for it. Factor 5's secret game, anyone?


And again, at this point consider this 90% fact, 10% rumor. It was leaked by two of the Mods on Gamefaqs and Serebii from Serebii.net (the Pokemon site).

MarkMan (one of the mods from GameFaqs) leaked VF5, Soul Calibur and Tekken stuff (AKA, crap loads about fighting games). And, here's the clincher, he leaked that there would be Star Wars characters in SC4 a month before it was revealed. Reno (the other GameFAQ mod) is also huge. From what I hear he has been leaking info for the past 3 years and it respected among the NeoMods. So yeah, I doubt they would risk their credibility over this and it all seems to match up with a lot of the other "leakers".
If that is the roaster, then I'm satisfied--not ecstatic, but content. There are other characters I would like to be on that roaster, but unfortunately most of them have limited heritages that could be farmed for move-sets. I'd like Lip from Panel de Pon, but all those characters do is drop garbage drops. That would make a kick-ass assist trophy though. I would like Kamek from Yoshi's Island, but all he does is swoop in and cause enemies to morph into monster sizes. Again, limited character idea, but could make an excellent assist. Eggplant Wizard? All he does is throw vegetables. Right now, I'm more curious about stage count, music selection, items, and (obviously) assist trophies (Charging Chuck FTW). I would kill for a classic Mario Bros. stage with working pipes. Think about it. Every Smash Bros. game has the characters respawn in the exact same manner you do in Mario Bros. It would be awesome.

Wolf is the only one that gets under my skin. I just don't know what they could come up with to set him apart from the existing clone, Falco. Three characters with blasters? Unless they do something really different, it's just another potential Fox clone. Krystal and her staff could bring a real defensive game to the table and offer something different from the rest of the pack. I'd also like Midna from TP, but I can live without her.

I'd be convinced if Falco wasn't on that list. Falco was a clone thus why would he come back? Then again he might have new attacks or something. I don't play the Star Fox series does anyone have any ideas on how they might change Falco if he indeed comes back so that he isn't a clone? Also Metaknight first appeared in Kirby's Adventure, not Dreamland which also makes me suspicious.

You may wanna put that in spoiler tags, just to be safe.

Spoiler:
It certainly seems like a feasible enough roster, I guess. If this is accurate, it's a pretty good lineup with one major disappointment and 2 other things that make up for it for the most part, if not entirely. Again, assuming this is legit, I'm obviously overjoyed that Falco would still be around and I'm very excited to see what Wolf would have to offer if I can't get Wolf Link/Midna outta this whole thing (which would be a disappointment either way). I guess I'd just be happy that some sort of representative of canis lupus is available. I'm not entirely sure what they could do to separate Fox, Falco and Wolf, but I was happy with Falco as a clone in the first place, so if they only figure out one new moveset between the 3 of them, I'd still be happy. Also, is "Toon Link" supposed to imply WW's Link? Or like "WELL EXCUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS" Link? Cause that'd be kinda odd. It seems fairly ridiculous that they wouldn't include WW's link in there, and when I think about it, it sorta always made more sense to have him than it did to have Wolf Link.

I hate the roster. I hate this game.

Someone already has the game, some dude from 4chan actually. lol. He posted that picture of the starter screen and even a shot of the game disc, which looks awesome btw.

I'm pretty satisfied with the roster. A shame there aren't any more third party character, but I guess what we got was good already.

I don't get ROB though. They already used this gimmick in Mario Kart DS.

Also, WW Link is awesome, and the Krystal fans can finally shut up now.

Anyone else find it rather suspicious on that starter roster with the exception of Snake and Sonic that only the announced characters are there. Also, it definitely doesn't look like there's enough space to put all 36 characters.

What is suspicious about it? It makes perfect sense. The Dojo updates did not reveal any unlockable stuff (with the exception of Sonic and Snake who were announced for publicity reasons) so it's logical that all the characters on there are starters. I'm sure they can find room for all the characters, keep in mind that the picture does not show the full screen so it's hard to tell how much space there is left.

I'm fairly confident that the screenshot is real, honestly.

I've gotten to the point that I don't really care to find out. Now there are rumors that possibly debunk that roaster. Its all a conflicting load of crap. We'll have the real roaster in around 9 days or so and then we'll know the indisputable truth.

Two things make me unsatisfied with the roster:

1) No AC rep.
2) ROB

ROB is the worst WTF character ever. G&W? Awesome, but ROB? F*ck yourself, Sakurai. Like Mecha said, they already pulled that sh*t in Mario Kart DS, the hand of making an awful Nintendo gimmick controller a playable character has been played. F*cking stupid.

One thing I LOVE about the roster:

WIND WAKER LINK FTMFWSFBC!
