Ness, Jigglypuff, Lucario accidentally confirmed for Brawl
thetanooki.com — Screen captures of a Nintendo trailer for Brawl show off convincing evidence that Jigglypuff and Ness are back once again, and that Lucario will be joining the fight.
- 806 diggs
- digg it
- Paroparo, on 01/21/2008, -25/+2I was pretty enthusiastic about this, but then I read this part:
"Before Nintendo edited the video, screen captures were taken by GameFAQs user “Edible” that reveal the inclusion of three more playable characters:"
Yeah, so ummm... no. Not reliable, sorry.- rpgguy1o1, on 01/21/2008, -0/+12i saw the videofirst hand from the japanese wii.com site, after seeing a barrage of threads about it on gamefaqs.
clearly rpgguy_1o1's word on digg is credible.
Nintendo leaked this information themself, normally i don't ever say anything is confirmed until it's on the dojo, but these things are confirmed - ursername180, on 01/21/2008, -1/+8Actually, go to the Japanese Wii site. Watch the commercial, and if you pause it at the right time, you can see them for some reason. I guess Nintendo didn't do a good job of editing them out.

- tgmxd, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2I was there while it was happening. It's true.
- Paroparo, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2Ok, I'm convinced. Sorry for doubting you guys. =P
- Elranzer, on 01/22/2008, -1/+1I have a feeling everyone from Melee will make it to Brawl (similar to how everyone from the original made it to Melee). So it's really no surprise that Ness, Jigglypuff (and probably Pichu, judging by the pic) made it into Brawl.
It would have been news if Mega Man, Tails or Simon Belmont were accidentally revealed.
- rpgguy1o1, on 01/21/2008, -0/+12i saw the videofirst hand from the japanese wii.com site, after seeing a barrage of threads about it on gamefaqs.
- ursername180, on 01/21/2008, -18/+8It kind of disappoints me that Ness is returning. Lucas has basically the same moves. If Ness keeps his old moveset, clones may be returning.
- Shawn4168, on 01/21/2008, -0/+6I don't really see the problem with clones in SSBM. Nintendo still provided us with a ton of unique characters and moves even without the clones. Clones simply added a bit more visual variety and flair to the game, with relatively little effort on the developers' part. It's a win-win situation.
- PhoenixAvatar2, on 01/21/2008, -2/+15It's the relatively little effort that bugs me. If they're going to taunt us with 25 characters then you think at least they could give us 25 movesets. And you know it sucked the first time you tried out Ganondorf and found out that he was a copy of Captain Falcon.
- Sliver147, on 01/21/2008, -0/+3Why do you think they gave Lucas those moves?
Ness never had those moves in earthbound anyway, they most likely want him to have new moves.- Nin10dude, on 01/21/2008, -0/+3Lucas doesn't have them in Mother 3. Every one of his Special attacks belong to Kumatora, with the Rope Snake belonging to Duster.
Anyway, they have a huge arsenal of abilities from EarthBound to give to Ness, so I'm hoping they'll be smart and give Ness new moves.- honeymustardn, on 01/21/2008, -0/+5PSI Rockin' better be his final smash, or I'll cry.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1Woudlent it make more sense to give Lucas new moves instead of turning Lucas into a clone of Ness then giving Ness new moves that are completely different from what he could do in the N64 and GC versions?
- Nin10dude, on 01/21/2008, -0/+3Lucas doesn't have them in Mother 3. Every one of his Special attacks belong to Kumatora, with the Rope Snake belonging to Duster.
- Phendrana, on 01/21/2008, -0/+0From the looks of it, the only moves he seems to share with Lucas are PK Thunder, PK Fire, and PSI Magnet. There are a lot of different PK moves that could easily be subbed in to give him some variety.
- EvilHeadBoy, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1ummm, i think if ness is getting a benefit from that specific sticker, he must be different, because lucus doesn't appear in that little bar of characters. so, ness if different, simple

- KingGoonie, on 01/21/2008, -22/+62I didn't even know who the hell Lucario was... wikipedia tells me he is yet ANOTHER pokemon?!?!?! So thats Pokemon Trainer, Jigglypuff, Pikachu, and now this guy... thats 4! I mean I know Mario has 4 too (if Luigi is in it, not counting Wario since he kinda branched off on his own now)... but thats Mario... hell Zelda so far only has 3 (and thats assuming Ganon is in it!)
I think their should be less pokemon, simply because of the trainer... there should only be pikachu and trainer and thats it...- timpkmn89, on 01/21/2008, -6/+5Melee had 4 too: Pikachu, Pichu, Jigglypuff, and Lucario. They kept the original two, Pokemon Trainer replaces Pichu which was just a Pikachu clone, and Lucario replaces Mewtwo as he's basically the same (as far as SSB is concerned), but with hand-to-hand fighting abilities.
- KingGoonie, on 01/21/2008, -3/+20Lucario wasn't in Melee, you must have meant MewTwo based on rest of your comment... but I mean I never heard of Lucario lol... MewTwo at least was in the movie and the original games so...
- Argy, on 01/21/2008, -3/+18Lucario was also the star of a Pokémon movie.
The eighth one. - calibration, on 01/21/2008, -0/+17They made that many?!!?
- iofthestorm, on 01/21/2008, -5/+13Seriously, only little kids know about the Pokemans after Gold/Silver. Mewtwo ftw.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 01/21/2008, -0/+7I don't even know about the ones after Red/Blue
- Argy, on 01/21/2008, -1/+2The 11th movie is coming out in Japan this summer.
Oh, and I'm 20 and in college, and I love Pokémon.
- idslite, on 01/21/2008, -0/+17To tell you the truth I would much rather see Mega Man than Lucario in this...
- Argy, on 01/21/2008, -3/+18Lucario was also the star of a Pokémon movie.
- KingGoonie, on 01/21/2008, -3/+20Lucario wasn't in Melee, you must have meant MewTwo based on rest of your comment... but I mean I never heard of Lucario lol... MewTwo at least was in the movie and the original games so...
- ziptnf, on 01/21/2008, -20/+2I'm so confused why they confirmed the worst character in Super Smash Brothers history: Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff can't do *****, gets knocked off easily, and is generally a real pussy.
- DatumPirate, on 01/21/2008, -1/+9The best brawl player I know can kill anything with Jigglypuff. You just have to know how to use it. He can take 3 on 1 using Jigglypuff. People just THINK it sucks.
- Anath3ma, on 01/21/2008, -1/+12You are so very wrong. Go watch The King play jiggly, he tears ***** up.
Worst character ever is pretty obviously bowser or DK. - icemanxp, on 01/21/2008, -0/+6You just have not come up against some one who can play with Jigglypuff. If you do you will learn to fear her.
- honeymustardn, on 01/21/2008, -0/+7Down B... you're dead.
- Twoje, on 01/22/2008, -1/+1They didn't confirm Jigglypuff. This was a slip.
- ZombieKiss, on 01/21/2008, -0/+7Alot of these characters are clones of other characters. It was like that in Melee -- Ganon was a clone of Capt. Falcon. Fortunately most of the "clones" were just unlockables, so hopefully it will be that way here too. I'd feel a little burned if half the roster was just clones of the other half.
- oodledoodle, on 01/21/2008, -7/+0link, zelda, shiek, ganon.... yeah you're right. zelda only has three.
- honeymustardn, on 01/21/2008, -0/+8Zelda and Sheik are the same character/slot...
- harrison5394, on 01/21/2008, -0/+6dumbass
- Twoje, on 01/22/2008, -0/+2Okay, and Pokemon has 6... Jigglypuff, Lucario, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard, and Squirtle.
- CurlyHayami, on 01/21/2008, -6/+1Hmhm-yea I got out of PKMN a long time ago-so I have NO IDEA why everyone wants Lucario so bad-but I guess he'll be cool..w/e
P.S. I'm ready to beat the ***** out of Jigglypuff again.... - CLShortFuse, on 01/21/2008, -0/+4Zelda would have 4: Young Link (Windwaker Style)
- rpatel11, on 01/21/2008, -2/+1Who the hell plays with jigglypuff
- heypetray, on 01/22/2008, -0/+4my buddy, and he could kick your ass.
- xp3ll3d, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1because i was the best player of my group. I would add insult to injury by pwning them with jiggly puff. man they hated me for it LOL.
another great party game was getting 4 people. setting it all to jiggly puff. and turning item spawn to high, turning off all items except for pokeballs. it is just one crazy puffy experience. everyone is consntaly puffing across the screen- allisonaxe, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1Jigglypuff was actually very strong, if you knew how to use him. that sing/sleep attack.. oh dear.....
now, if you want real smash bros. cred, you say you owned people with Peach.
- allisonaxe, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1Jigglypuff was actually very strong, if you knew how to use him. that sing/sleep attack.. oh dear.....

- Wuffles, on 01/21/2008, -10/+36Damn. This means they took out Mewtwo...
Mewtwo > Lucario.- CurlyMike139125, on 01/21/2008, -3/+19All the rumors and speculations I've read point to Mewtwo having something to do with the Subspace Emissary.
- ursername180, on 01/21/2008, -1/+9Mewtwo was an unlockable, so it's possible that they just hadn't unlocked him when they made the video.
- Wuffles, on 01/21/2008, -0/+10The space in the picture suggests that theory actually. That and the posted an original censored version of the video 3 days ago and REPLACED it with one with the leaks and then REMOVED it once again in an effort to "cover up". Looks like the leak was intentional and therefore maybe they wanted to hide the big baddass that is Mewtwo while giving the fans a little to consider for the time being.
Publicity stunts ftw!- Cyber_Akuma, on 01/21/2008, -0/+4Great, now I have to start wearing tinfoil hats around Nintendo...

- TheRealM3D, on 01/21/2008, -0/+12How does this mean they took out Mewtwo? Just because one character is in doesn't mean another character is out. They will probably both be playable.
- completerobot, on 01/21/2008, -1/+2Mewtwo isn't listed on the Groudon sticker as a character that can use it. That's why a lot of people are thinking that he might be out.
- Doopliss, on 01/21/2008, -0/+3If Lucas is looked upon as a replacement for Ness and Ness is in SSBB. Mewtwo is still in the question (as an unlockable character)
- completerobot, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1I'm not saying I agree, guys. I think he'll be in. But those that don't do have a legitimate reason now.
- frosteyneko, on 01/26/2008, -0/+0Who's gonna read a reply inside a reply inside a hidden reply inside a reply?
- completerobot, on 01/21/2008, -1/+2Mewtwo isn't listed on the Groudon sticker as a character that can use it. That's why a lot of people are thinking that he might be out.
- loudintl, on 01/21/2008, -1/+5Didn't you ever see that movie when we were all kids? Mewtwo's just an emo "no-one-understands-me" pokemon in the middle of a pubescent hormonal fit.
- Poggins, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1I never noticed that.
All I saw was that he could hurt stuff with his mind.
- Poggins, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1I never noticed that.
- Genjeta, on 01/21/2008, -1/+5I really hope not....I loved Mewtwo in melee. Even though he was really slow and somewhat weak with a lot of his attacks, he was really fun to use, and actually pretty effective if you used him right. His taunt and overall persona was awesome too.
- allthosemoments, on 01/22/2008, -1/+0Ok, I agree Mewtwo was fun, but he was NEVER effective unless you were playing with newbs.
- gldfshnpcklejar, on 01/21/2008, -0/+4If you ask people who play SSBM WAY too much they say mew two is the worst character in the entire game. :/ Just what i hearded.
- wagnerelli, on 01/21/2008, -5/+18Paroparo- There are original videos on Youtube. 4:20. You can clearly see Lucario, Jiggly and Ness' icons.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfb2l-iYlRo- GreatWhiteShaky, on 01/21/2008, -4/+13I just watched it and at 4:20 it is showing trophies. where the heck is there any proof of Lucario, Jiggly, or Ness? I've watched it several times and have found no such Icons.
- honeymustardn, on 01/21/2008, -0/+24:21 then... it's when the Groudon and Claus stickers are shown in the book, to be applied on characters for Subspace Emissary.
- schavira, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1I definitely saw Jigglypuff and Ness. It makes perfect sense that they'd be there. I'm not too sure if that was Lucario though.
- GreatWhiteShaky, on 01/21/2008, -4/+13I just watched it and at 4:20 it is showing trophies. where the heck is there any proof of Lucario, Jiggly, or Ness? I've watched it several times and have found no such Icons.
- OffPiste, on 01/21/2008, -3/+3Oh it's on baby, it's on!!!
- mabhatter, on 01/23/2008, -0/+1Magic marker attack!!! Go Jigglypuff!
- dercksar, on 01/21/2008, -0/+12Ness has always been my favorite character....I don't know why...but I hope to dominate as him when brawl finally comes out...eventually.....
- Xinephzero, on 01/21/2008, -7/+22Wolf Link + Midna FTW.
- YamiJim, on 01/21/2008, -7/+1wolf link = weak sauce
one of the few time Nintendo ripped something off and made it lame (Okami)
Maybe not so much ripped off but went with the whole Wolf trend that was going on then.
it sucked, and the game suffered for it.- NinjaBass, on 01/21/2008, -2/+2You serious? Twilight Princess was amazing, not as good as Ocarina of Time, but pretty damn close. I liked Wolf Link, I thought he looked pretty badass. The weird dark thing riding on his back? Not so much. =P
- YamiJim, on 01/21/2008, -1/+2Old school, Link to the past for life. TP was great, but I HATED having to be wolf link, it got better towards then end, when you only need him for a few things, but when you were forced to be him for large stretches of time in the begging it was BEYOND tedious.
- NinjaBass, on 02/12/2008, -0/+0I totally agree, man. Those first Wolf Link parts were cool at first, but they slowly became repetitive.
- heypetray, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1It doesn't sound like you actually played the game when you say 'the weird dark thing' but I'll take your =P as playing stupid.
- NinjaBass, on 02/12/2008, -0/+0I was indeed playing stupid. I camped out to get a Wii + Twilight Princess at the midnight launch.
- YamiJim, on 01/21/2008, -1/+2Old school, Link to the past for life. TP was great, but I HATED having to be wolf link, it got better towards then end, when you only need him for a few things, but when you were forced to be him for large stretches of time in the begging it was BEYOND tedious.

- YamiJim, on 01/21/2008, -7/+1wolf link = weak sauce
- MiamiRox, on 01/21/2008, -10/+2Dugg only for Jigglypuff.
Im still butt hurt Walmart didn't give me the game for $20.- KingGoonie, on 01/21/2008, -1/+1They gave the $10 GC but really... what the hell is there to buy there. I was looking at all the games that everywhere else has on sale this week, particularly Assassins Creed... but nope all full price in Walmart.. Hell Walmart has higher prices on games and DVDs then most other places... I never got the big deal there, because I always found better deals in Target, BestBuy, CircuitCity, etc...
- mannymix03, on 01/21/2008, -17/+2Did anyone actually like playing as jigglypuff in the last one?
- richman241, on 01/21/2008, -5/+2Jigglypuff was ok. He didnt really have any great moves. Lets hope they change that
- fhornplayer, on 01/21/2008, -0/+10Rest bomb was one of the most powerful moves in the game.
- greenblob, on 01/21/2008, -0/+13Jigglypuff was awesome. Easy combos, gimp kills, best recovery in the game, wall of pain, and Rest--how do you top that?
- ArmandoPenblade, on 01/21/2008, -3/+3actually, yes. Color-switch to the head-band Jigglypuff and proceed to use smash and side-B for kung fu ownage. It is surprisingly effective at mid-level play, just because no one expects the Puff to be decent. Obviously not a main choice at tourney level, though
- TheRealM3D, on 01/21/2008, -0/+18Actually, Jigglypuff was pretty solid in Melee. She was one of the very best characters to use in Teams (2v2) matches and fairly pretty well in singles as well. Using the Over+B "Pound" attack, she could basically recover from any place on the map as long as she wasn't knocked out. Also, being able to combo into the Down+B "Rest" made her vicious against characters like Fox, Falco, Captain Falcon and others. Considering that, The Puff was good, if not great.
- Agilus, on 01/21/2008, -0/+8Heck yes. Doing the nearly insta-KO sleep move against your friends is tons of fun. Even if they stand a better chance of beating you when you play that way, it's still fun for a one-off match now and again.
- random19, on 01/21/2008, -0/+5the strategy with Jigglypuff is to never touch the ground (basically). Her aerial attacks kick ass. Do a youtube search for "jigglypuff wall of pain". You'll see what I'm talking about. Combine that with some well timed one-hit-KOs and you've got one of the best characters in the game.
Oh, and she has good throws. Not to mention can get back on the map from ANYWHERE.- DustSluggy, on 01/21/2008, -0/+4http://youtube.com/watch?v=y7yY_5cRgaA
Not the video you were talking about I think, but this one's a nice Jigglypuff combo video, a bit old, but it proves its point that the Wall of Pain is nothing to be taken lightly....- heypetray, on 01/22/2008, -0/+3Please use a /mute tag next time. What is it with Linkin Park and Fan made video game vids?
- DustSluggy, on 01/21/2008, -0/+4http://youtube.com/watch?v=y7yY_5cRgaA
- CCB0x45, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1I loved playing with jiggly for a change when we were playing four people, and everyone is fighting and im just floating around being ignored untill SLEEP KO BAM! Its so sweet when you could get it in the middle of all 3 players.
- richman241, on 01/21/2008, -5/+2Jigglypuff was ok. He didnt really have any great moves. Lets hope they change that
- dercksar, on 01/21/2008, -6/+1Ness has always been my favorite character...I don't know why...but I hope to dominate with him when brawl launches...eventually...

The characters in question are icons on the bottom of stickers. - allthosemoments, on 01/22/2008, -0/+0They are not using the stickers as evidence for them as characters. There are icons at the bottom of the screen that show you which characters the stickers can be applied too.

- CurlyMike139125, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2Huh... Sakurai said on the Dojo "up until now.." Ness was in it, but now it's essentially proven he's in it... I wonder if this was some kind of error in translation, or if they were just trying to fool everybody..
- CurlyHayami, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2Heh what do you think-he tried to to hide for so long and it's almost funny when something like this happens. Like when he didn't say anything about Zelda for centuries-and then the Final Smash showed up in the mags. I suppose he was like, "Okay fine-you guys win." CHALLENGER APPROACHING-Lucario=this week's update. Haha.
- CurlyMike139125, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2Yeah, I'll bet money that Ness, Jigglypuff, and Lucario will be part of this week's updates.
- DustSluggy, on 01/21/2008, -0/+3Well, they kind of do the Dojo's updates weeks in advance, so I doubt it. Also, Lucario and Jigglypuff (Not sure about Ness) are most likely unlockable, so we probably won't even see their profiles for awhile.
- CurlyMike139125, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2Yeah, I'll bet money that Ness, Jigglypuff, and Lucario will be part of this week's updates.

- D3koy, on 01/21/2008, -10/+1Maybe they are just pokemon that can come out of pokeballs you throw....(jigglypuff and lucario that is...)
- Klarth, on 01/21/2008, -1/+4Wrong. Did you even read the article? They're present in the context of selectable, playable characters.
0/10.- Pr0v0st, on 01/21/2008, -0/+3Site's down, kind of hard to read.

- RAEP, on 01/21/2008, -2/+21It's only fair since the ***** game has been pushed back so much.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 01/21/2008, -0/+4As long as they don't rename it to Smash Brothers Forever I think we are safe...
- Mac2492, on 01/21/2008, -1/+1They only pushed it back about two months. >,>
- irresolute, on 01/21/2008, -9/+1What about assist characters? The link is down so I can't see for myself, but seeing as I've never heard of Lucario, wouldn't he be more suited as one of the helpers like the guy from sim city and the like?
- CurlyMike139125, on 01/21/2008, -0/+4If you can't read the article, why did you feel the need to comment on something you clearly don't understand?

- T8erT0T, on 01/21/2008, -9/+2Does anyone else have this love/hate feeling toward Jigglypuff? I find that it's a useless and horrible character to play on, yet there's something gratifying when you just beat the living #$% out of it during a game. So I'm upset that its returning, yet will still welcome it only for the misery I will dish out to it.
- RudyV, on 01/21/2008, -0/+9Jigglypuff is not a horrible fighter, I main him and Marth in melee and do fine.
- stereoa, on 01/21/2008, -1/+9Right because Jigglypuff's down B is useless.
- lolwutpear, on 01/21/2008, -1/+2yet so unbelievably fun when it works - your opponent's reaction alone is worth it

skip the first 40 seconds to see a ballin' jiggs player- daliminator, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1That...is ***** ridiculous.
- shawnanigans, on 01/21/2008, -3/+44I want Geno damnit.
- YamiJim, on 01/21/2008, -4/+3Fail. Made up lame ass char. Bowser, Peach, Mario. (Period)
mallow was mildly endearing only because he shows up earlier, you learn more about him and actually give 2 ***** if he lives or dies.- Cyber_Akuma, on 01/21/2008, -1/+2Without Geno after you rescued Peach the game would have more or less been over, Mario had no idea what those Star Pieces were for and until Geno came in and said the whole world was in danger was only conscerned with getting Peach back.
Also, Geno has that whole "badass" type character persona going for him.- heypetray, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1Plus, I'd expect to see Geno kicking some maaajor ass. Malo was a healer/utility char...
Regardless of story elements, I think Geno would be more welcomed in brawl. - YamiJim, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1YOu are both so wrong, BOWSER is the bad ass, screw that bitch ass puppet Pinocchio wanna-be. 2x SPiked Shell pWnage + Peaches Leet heals. The end.

- Jpotts12, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1A "Made up lame ass char"? Hah....they're all made up characters!! I think you're trying to say that he was created later and only used in one game. There are already a couple characters like this in melee. Sheik? I would consider sheik an individual character, even though she is a transformation of zelda, and she was only in OOT, briefly. I don't think it really matters when the character was made up or how long they were around as long as they are cool, which geno is IMO.

- kob0724, on 01/21/2008, -1/+5I was just impressed that Snake was in there.
- heypetray, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1Gimmick. As much as I appreciate tearing down the developer walls and crossing the line with his char, It just doesn't fit the game well for me. We'll see. I'm just a skeptic.
- metalhead87, on 01/22/2008, -0/+2I agree to some extent....I don't really get Snake being in the game. I'm probably gonna like playing as him good enough, but he doesn't quite fit in as good as say, Sonic. Hopefully, his move set will be really cool/interesting, and play way different than any of the other characters.

- mwmccullough, on 01/21/2008, -15/+3What the hell? Why are there so many lame fighters showing up for this? Why not Bald Bull or King Hippo? The original fighters. Mega Man? Hell even a metroid would be more exciting than a pink pile of poo.
- YamiJim, on 01/21/2008, -0/+3im not so sure Capcom would play nice, But it would be awesome to see the whole Capitan N Crew wreck ***** in brawl.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2You know, Captain N would make one badass Assist Trophy....

- chris101d, on 01/21/2008, -11/+3Aren't these just the new Trophy Combatants?
They added hundreds of additional characters used when you unlock trophies..they are like the old pokeballs..they just do random things..(see nintendogs) - Sliver147, on 01/21/2008, -0/+3I saw the video myself on the official nintendo site. If you pause it at the right time you can still see lucario.
- Rekzai, on 01/21/2008, -2/+12Samus >
- Memnochxx, on 01/21/2008, -0/+7Yes, Samus is better than nothing.

Read this update. See what is says about certain stickers only being usable on certain characters? That's what this is all about. Lucario, Jigglypuff, and Ness are confirmed through their face icons, visible on the bottom of a sticker, where the characters that can use it are listed. - Zippo, on 01/21/2008, -11/+2This doesn't mean ***** all. Nothing's been confirmed unless it's come straight from the official source.
- completerobot, on 01/21/2008, -0/+10Wii.com is a pretty official source.
- faster3200, on 01/21/2008, -0/+3The video where we are getting this information is from the official Japanese Nintendo site. The video has since been modified but, there is a youtube version that I believe someone above you posted.
- engrishGamer, on 01/21/2008, -1/+4If the official Nintendo website isn't an official source then nothing is. Stop ignoring the blatantly obvious and easy to understand comments about why this makes sense and stubbornly posting dumb *****. They've been confirmed.
Characters in the bottom represent the only characters that can use the selected sticker. PLAYABLE characters that you can add the stick to their trophy stands. Lucario, Ness and Jigglypuff being down there means they're PLAYABLE characters
- xero7, on 01/21/2008, -3/+6Geno, goddamn it! Geno!
And Crono!
....- Cyber_Akuma, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1Crono has about as much chance as Ratchet or Master Chief...
I'm sure S-E would rather put in a FF character if they put in anyone at all...- Jaydo, on 01/21/2008, -1/+1Crono has more of a chance because of Yasunori Mitsuda being on the list of composers for the game. Chrono Cross being his most prominent Nintendo score.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1Crono has about as much chance as Ratchet or Master Chief...
- Vistrix, on 01/21/2008, -7/+4That isnt Ness...It looks more like some kind of Pokemon trainer.
Definitely not Ness.- completerobot, on 01/21/2008, -0/+7Yes, that's a Pokemon Trainer.
Next to Lucas.
On a sticker that increases his psychic powers.- completerobot, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1http://www.brawlcentral.com/images/news/2008_01_21 ...
- CurlyHayami, on 01/21/2008, -2/+3Vistrix-you're an absolute moron if you can't see that that's Ness.
- completerobot, on 01/21/2008, -0/+7Yes, that's a Pokemon Trainer.

- loganisamonkey, on 01/21/2008, -0/+3Here's the video on the official Wii Japan site.
http://wii.com/jp/movies/smashbros-movie1/- loganisamonkey, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2I just rewatched the video on the Japan site and it seems the icons in question are removed on the official video.
Could it be a sign that they caught their error and removed it?- lemorex, on 01/21/2008, -1/+3yes
- DustSluggy, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1If you hover the cursor on the video over where it usually is, you can still catch glimpses of the icons.

- CurlyHayami, on 01/21/2008, -1/+6It's undeniable AND the fact that Nintendo updated the video too HAHA! Another confirmed leak for the fans.
- Doopliss, on 01/21/2008, -0/+5Well this is better than Dojos normal update today, when was the last time Nintendo actually leaked something from their own game?
- Smalldude76, on 01/21/2008, -3/+1i see pikachu, blur blob that loks like kirby with mario hat, possibly Lucario (too blurry), and Jiggly puff.

- Jpotts12, on 01/21/2008, -0/+0You're clearly lacking in your knowledge of classic videogame characters. I suggest you do some research by playing some of the awesome nintendo games of yesteryear
- QueEsAmor, on 01/21/2008, -0/+12I'm still waiting on Ridley.

- tformed, on 01/21/2008, -2/+1I see everyone else but Ness. It's look more like pokemon trainer to me.
- idslite, on 01/21/2008, -2/+3Uhhhh has anyone looked at the dojo site recently???
NOTICE
Due to delays in the completion of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, we’ve had to change the release date of the game to Sunday, March 9th. I deeply apologize to the people who have looked forward to playing the game for so long and ask that you hold on just a little longer. Thank you for your patience.
P.S. Sorry if I'm late on this, but this ***** sucks...- dagamer34, on 01/21/2008, -0/+4That's been up there for a while. Since Japan was only delayed for a while (7 days actually) but the US got almost a month, the only reason the game would be delayed is either a) production snags or b) they want more copies on store shelves before the game is released. Honestly, I kinda do thing a delay would be worth it them. This will be the hottest game of the year, if not of this generation and almost impossible to find if they released it when they had planed to.
- idslite, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1Ah ok. The last time I looked (before today) was last week and it wasn't up there :(.

- Sapulator, on 01/21/2008, -1/+5WHERE'S MEGAMAN!!?
- Jpotts12, on 01/21/2008, -0/+0Nintendo claims there is one more third-party character to be announced, although I don't know if it's megaman. I think he was a little before many people's time (I remember how awesome he was though!).
- MackPrime, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1so there won't be Tails? Furries are weeping RIGHT NOW.
also, Zero would be pretty badass, but you'd need Megaman in there aswell for that.
