I'm expecting at least 50 characters this time around

 

[Kriken]

I'm fine with it if Ganondorf is stance character where you presses the taunt to get the sword out or put it away ;p

I hope Ganondorf somehow gets even more nerfed

Spoiler

I might be bitter at the idea of my main leaving, yes why do you ask?

 

[Linkhero1]

"Ganondorf has inherited Ike's moveset now that he is gone. Please Understand."

I wouldn't mind this as long as they give Black Shadow Ganondorf's original moveset.

 

[Neiteio]

Congressman1 did this, so ask him.

Hmm, I just tried PMing him and it says no one with that name exists. He also doesn't appear from among the alternative choices when I simply type "Con."

I think it's "TheCongressman1"

Eh? I swear that was this user..

SuperSah: FAILURE

 

[Neiteio]

Here's what I'm letting myself expect:

- All Brawl characters return except Lucas, Ike, Squirtle and Ivysaur
- Mewtwo returns as a veteran
- The six newcomers already confirmed (of course)
- The rest of the Gematsu leak: Pac-Man, Mii, Shulk, Palutena, Chrom and Chorus Men

So 48 characters. I could see the four cuts coming back, though. I'm just bracing for those four, in particular, to be cut.

I love Lucas. I don't think Sakurai would cut him since there isn't a lot of Earthbound rep in the game. No point in reducing it.

 

[Caladrius]

I'm expecting 40 characters.

How dare you.

 

[Neiteio]

I think there's still a good chance everyone will return. It's just a scenario.

 

[theprodigy]

There really are a lot more characters that have yet to be revealed, aren't there? Looking at that list there are a bunch of characters it's really hard to imagine them leaving out, so they just have yet to be announced. And yet the release period seems so near...

Well there's definitely going to be over 45 characters, now over 50 is another matter.

 

[Kouriozan]

LUCAS!!!!!
I need my Brawl main

46-50 characters sounds good.

 

[Neiteio]

Lucas lovers, stop being mad at me, I don't want him to be cut, I was just saying what I'm bracing myself for in the event there are cuts.

I still hope there won't be cuts, and I think it's possible there won't be cuts.

 

[Dusk Golem]

My suspicion is 47-49 characters. We know 29 now, and considering what number would make a good-sized box (with maybe the inclusion of a random character tile or not).

 

[Linkhero1]

I'm expecting 40 characters.

Seems low considering Brawl has 39 in total, including transformations and PKM Trainer. I expect around 45, not that it's much more than 40.

I'd like it. But I prefer Lucina over Chrom. Think of the children.

 

[ffdgh]

Lucas better come back and bring kumatora with him.

This statement has a 0% chance of playing out in reality.

You just made a powerful enemy sir

Spoiler

Not really, but still...

 

[Hatchtag]

What if Ivysaur became Venasaur? We'd have all three fully evolved started typed repped, and Ivysaur's unique frame would become even more unique with the size increase.

Spoiler

Squirtle can stay out. Hated having to swap out of him between Charizard and Ivysaur.

 

[SuperSah]

There we go -- PM sent.

I apologise.

 

[theprodigy]

I'm expecting 40 characters.

Trying to set your expectations low so you won't be disappointed?
I know you're expecting more than that

 

[Berordn]

Spoiler

But Squirtle was the good one.

Either way, between Charizard, Jigglypuff and Pikachu

Spoiler

and Mewtwo

, another Gen 1 Pokemon seems really unlikely.

Yup, there are 13 expected veterans that have still yet to be revealed, or 15 if you include Mewtwo and Snake, too. With 29 characters already revealed, that would make 44 characters easily. And we know we can expect some more newcomers, too. Throw in the rumored newcomers (Mii, Pac-Man, Palutena, Shulk, Chrom, and Chorus Kids/Marshall), and that's 50. And we may get some more characters on top of that.

They're really going to have to start revealing more characters soon, unless there are going to be a large amount of hidden characters this time around or something.

 

[Caladrius]

The only barrier between joy and disappointment is Ridley.

Numbers mean little to me.

That's the joke.

We need to accept the fact that these 29 characters might be the final roster.

I feel like you've said this before, with 24 characters.

 

[Terrell]

We need to accept the fact that these 29 characters might be the final roster.

Even I'm not that much of a wet blanket to think this is remotely true.

 

[SuperSah]

I expect around 38-40.

Is there an arrangement of Lil' Mac's music at 25:21 min?

[JayEH]

I've all of the sudden gotten really excited for this game. Definitely considering picking up a Wii U for this.

I randomly started reminiscing last night about my siblings and cousins playing Brawl a few summers ago and how much fun we had.

Maybe this actually could be the system seller Nintendo is looking for.

 

[georly]

Final starting roster, sure. 29 + random

 

[CaptainSchwann]

Are we at that pre-brawl stage where people were seriously getting worried about Captain Falcon getting cut?

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Are we at that pre-brawl stage where people were seriously getting worried about Captain Falcon getting cut?

Together with Ness and Ganondorf of course. All 3 were certain to be cut from Brawl.

 

[Linkhero1]

Are we at that pre-brawl stage where people were seriously getting worried about Captain Falcon getting cut?

He's getting replaced by a faster, leaner Ganondorf. I'm almost sure of it.

 

[Soulscribe]

Why would this game suddenly have less characters than its predecessor?

 

[Qurupeke]

Nintendo is doomed.

 

[theprodigy]

We need to accept the fact that if Yoshi is not revealed tonight he's been cut from the game

I knew you did something like this!

Yes, many.

 

[CaptainSchwann]

The only veteran I would honestly be worried about at this stage is Snake. No real reason to be worried about anyone else atm. (Excluding Squirtle and Ivysour who assumably are gone)
