Darn you Erik Aston. Posting things before I have the chance.

I do beleive thois guy BTW, and here is why. Before Melee there was some guy who posted the entire roster on GameFAQ. Most people thought it was fake, with joke characters like Game&Watch and Dr. Mario, and the two Fire Emblem characters (no one knew of) Marth and Roy. Come the Japanese release everyone had egg on their face as he was right. Also, this is far froma lucky guess. The odds he's pikc the right week are great. There has only been one other week with two characters updates, and ther eis the possibility Sakuria would never do that again. And here we are, wtwo character updates like he said.

Also, a few thing. Ness was going to be replaced in Melee, so him being removed isn't farfetched. Also, Ness and Lucas are the same character. I also beleive Game&Watch will go, not Ice Climbers. Ice Climbers represent the Famicom, which no other character represents. A lot oif the early NES franchise in Smash are from the Famicom Disk System, which in nintendo's eyes, are different machines. Ice Climbers were chosen to represent the Famicom over many other choices due to their uniquness, so I assum they'll be back again.

ALastly, he says some popular characters will be AT. Buymmer. I think Dedede and Diddy are safe, ranking the highest on the Brawl poll. Maybe characters like Wolf or even Ridley. This is going to be interesting.

Yeah...I can see Ridley being an Assist Trophy...it's more practical.

It'd still kick ass I suppose.

Who's Lucas?

I've seen some people (not here) suggest Poo from EarthBound as a playable character. Can you imagine it?:

THIS GAMES WINNER IS......POO!

LOL

Can that one guy tell us if there is wifi.

Naznatips' character list if this guy is correct and there are 34 characters: Green are old characters, blue are newcomers. 

1.) Mario
2.) Luigi
3.) Bowser
4.) Peach
5.) Yoshi
6.) Wario
7.) Donkey Kong
8.) Diddy Kong
9.) Captain Falcon
10.) Link
11.) Zelda (Sheik)
12.) Ganondorf
13.) Midna (Imp and Twili forms)
14.) Fox
15.) Falco
16.) Krystal
17.) Lucas
18.) Kirby
19.) Meta Knight
20.) King Dedede
21.) Pikachu
22.) Mewtwo
23.) Jigglypuff
24.) Pokemon Trainer
25.) Game and Watch
26.) Marth
27.) Ike
28.) Pit
29.) Samus (Zero Suit Samus)
30.) Ridley
31.) Snake
32.) Mr. Resetti
33.) Captain Olimar
34.) Sonic

Characters who aren't returning:

1.) Dr. Mario
2.) Ness
3.) Ice Climbers
4.) Pichu
5.) Y. Link
6.) Roy

My reasoning that Sheik is returning is an accidental slip by Aonuma that pretty much confirmed his return in this interview: http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200708/N07.0802.1741.54921.htm

Any thoughts on my list?  I'm not completely confident on every pick (especially not Mr. Resetti and Captain Olimar), but I think it is a pretty reasonable representation.  It even covers the Animal Crossing level. 

Oh, also if this guy turns out to be right, we have yet to see 9 newcomers (11 if you count Meta Knight and Snake) and 8 veterans. So there are a lot of character updates left to show.

As long as he did more than fly behind the stage and unleash a giant kill-everything-ray like various bird Pokemon did in Melee, it'd be okay.

But I'm hoping the "characters on many people's lists" who end up as assists are Geno, Krystal, Waluigi, Bowser Jr. and other characters with no business in the game, yet are on lots of lists, while Diddy, Dedede and Ridley all make the cut.

Diddy, Dedede, Ridley and Sonic. If those 4 get in, I don't care who else does.

Diddy FTW!

Sonic is gonna be in the game, but it won't get announced on the website. It will be the hardest character to unlock, and when someone does it, everyone will be like...
