Man that video was awesome. Snake looks like a very interesting character to play, can't wait to try him out! Gah, this delay sucks!!!

I really hope that Wolf is playable. and was that really posted on 12-31?

Impossible to say for sure without proof, but like I said somewhere around 15 people in the thread said they remembered this being posted around then... could be real.

Sorry, just saw this, but this is wrong. First of all, if you look at the video there is actually space for another full row on either side of what you have drawn out. Second, they can resize the boxes as they go. The boxes are already much bigger than they were in Melee, so this is certainly possible.

Besides that, we already have 9 characters practically confirmed to be in the game not on that list. Snake, Sonic, Ness, Jigglypuff, Lucario, Luigi, Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, and G&W. That would put it at 30 (filling your spots and more) even without any other of the likely candidates in the game....

A noob question, who is Micaiah

 Fire Emblem series.  She plays a huge role in Radiant Dawn (the latest FE title on the Wii)>  If she really is playable in Brawl, I hope she comes with her tiny bird, Yune. ^_^

whats the update for January 24th?

 Updates aren't until 11 am in Japan.

Tonight's update may be good because today was the old release date in Japan.
