Rockfield said the game was going to have online ages ago, but it was in the same sentence he promised it was going to be a launch title. These things are liable to being changed almost to the last minute, and it only became really, really confirmed when they had it on the Dojo.

Let's speculate - We all know there will be unlockable characters that havn't been talked about yet like Luigi.

I'm 90% certain they'll include an unlockable Sega and Konami character but whom?

I'm guessing either Tails or Knuckles, probably Tails with NiGHTS having an outside chance.

For Konami I'd guess another MGS character, but Simon Belmont or Power Pro player are definate possiblities too.

I want Sarah Kerrigan.

Luigi, Jigglypuff, C. falcon, Ganondorf, Mewtwo, Mr. G&W...

Just some that should be making a reapperance.

Simon B., Mega Man, Balloon fighter, to name a few possible newcomers.

New Info from Jump Festa:

# Kirby's Final Smash does about 35% damage.
# The Soccer Ball bursts into flames when used. It cannot be countered or caught.
# The clock SLOWS DOWN time. It does not FREEZE time. Your oppnents are slowed down, but sometimes it can have a "dud" effect like the hammer, and slow you down also.
# Lucas's PK Freeze is much more mobile than Ness's old PK Flash
# Snakes's Landmine attack is REMOTE, not PROXIMITY.
# New FE Music: "The Kingdom of Bern". I don't know much about FE, but I guess there's a city in FE called Bern and it has a battle of some sort.
# Regigigas, Metagross, Onix and Garchomp are Poke Ball Pokemon. Metagross does Earthquake, Onix does the same from Smash 64, and Regigigas turns red and uses what is thought ot be Crush Grip.
# New info on Rosalina's AT: She hovers around and throws star pieces, which can be picked up and used to recover damage. A Luma also come sout with her.
# Pit and Pokemon Trainer both speak during their Final Smashes. PT's english version of his speaking part seems to be the same as the text that appears on screen, "Take That! Triple Finish!"
# Kirby is more powerful this time around, as we have mentioned previously.
# Wario is powerful, but has a lot of start-up lag.
# Pegasus Knight from the Fire Emblem series as an AT
# Zelda's Din's Fire has been Nefred a bit.

Pretty sweet info

Whoa is all that info credible? They played as Zelda, but don't mention Sheik? Rosalina? Soccer Ball? I'm out of touch!!

Nice find DonWii. I'd heard about Rosalina but I'm confused about the soccer ball too. What is that from?

A clock that slows everything down or just slows you down
cool

^ What he said!
