Well, I remember reading that they would keep third-party characters to 1-2 (not including Snake). Also, they said they would be from Nintendo's closer third-parties: Namco, Capcom, Sega. Sonic would be obvious and, if they wanted to diversify(not form same third party), they could add MegaMan.

If they had Sonic and MegaMan that would be more than enough for me.

I don't think it's Knuckles, but actually just plain Kirby. He's pink, around the same size as Meta Knight and he's already showing in another picture...

How is that a franchise like Smash Bros. now has subliminal messages on its website?

Hey everybody, I just started a thread about event match records, where if you have a good record, you can appear in there. Its simple and i hope all participate in it, just post your record on the thread and ill add you with your time/ko's. Its quite fun.

Oh and ben, sorry for the spam, won't happen again (unless its necessary) =P

SSBM event match records!

So is Sonic going to be in this game, or not?

Nothing has been confirmed about Sonic. I wouldn't get your hopes up because you could be hugely disappointed. Maybe even boycott the game XD

I could see Nintendo's lending of Mario and the gang to SEGA for Mario and Sonic at the Olympics as a two way deal for SEGA allowing Sonic in Smash.

And, of course, Nintendo has already lent the Zelda franchise to Capcom, and they have produced a bizillion Mega Man games on Nintendo Consoles, it is not too far fetched to believe Mega Man will be in Brawl.

As for what todays update will be; my money is on music.

AHHHHH!!!!!!

SMASH BROTHERS!!!!!!

*head explodes*

(sorry guys, i'm having random bursts of excitement. Just imagine yourself sitting down about to play this thing!!)
