So...are those the only characters? That doesn't really make sense, but the way they showed them at the bottom, it leaves me with the impression that those are the only ones.

Either way, it looks good. Can't say I like Snake being in it, though. He seems to "real" for this sort of cartoon-ish universe.

I'm also dissappointed that, during the preview, I heard no one shout "DOO DATS SWEET!".

WTF, of course those aren't the only characters. That would be dumb and I would complain a lot. Melee had 25 characters, and they're planning on having more (not double like the change from SSB to SSBM was, but hopefully close to that), although some characters are gonna be cut, which kinda sucks.

I think that having Snake is awesome, but I can see where you're coming from. They better have Sonic, too, if they're accepting third party characters.

I also thought people would be screaming and stuff, but this is Japan. I guess they don't roll like that. I remember the first time Twilight Princess was shown at some U.S. event, people flipped out. It was hilarious.

Yeah, I figured so, but at the end they just displayed those few at the bottom, I thought it was sort of odd that they didn't include everyone for that brief moment.

Do you know who's being cut?



No doubt, he'll be an awesome character. I was somewhat skeptical until he pulled out that rocket launcher. But I still think he's too real.

And yes, Sonic (and hopefully Knuckles) should also be added.



I figured Japanese people were the type to scream, though. I mean, come on, in 74% of the Japanese import movies, all you hear is "OMG IZ GORZIWA!"

I hope they add more trademark stuff for Snake, and that the stinger missile launcher (that's what it was I think) is just the beginning.

And I don't think they've said anything directly about who's getting cut, but said that odds are people like Young Link and Mr. Game & Watch won't return.

Ah, okay. That doesn't bother me much. Mewtwo, Marth, and Nes, on the other hand, would.

And now that I think of it, I believe the mountain climber kids (I forget their names) are also getting the axe.

I heard that Snake wouldn't be using weapons like rocket launchers and stuffs and then in that trailer he does. Oh well, doesn't look like my kinda character anyway.
I hope they bring Roy back. He was awesome. Extra characters I think would be cool are Skull Kid (Zelda: Majora's Mask), Space Pirate (Metroid) and quite a few third party characters would be cool. Especially those from the FF games, even though I doubt they'll be in it.

As long as Marth isn't cut, I'm perfectly fine. I get the feeling that the character I'm going to frequently use is Meta Knight, since he's been my favorite character from Nintendo since a long time.

Anyone know a blog type of place where they would update on when SSBB is going to be released?

Meta knight look awesome, but I've never heard of him before the trailer

this is a pretty awesome trailer. i hate how they did fox though. i hate the Star Fox: Command look. it looks stupid.

Never noticed this til now.

I hope they don't cut too many characters... I know it'd be hard to design the models for all of them, but is it 100% necessary to cut them? =/

HOW DID YOU JUST NOTICE THIS ?? ? ? ??

I was hoping maybe they could just give the clones new movesets and keep them. Hopefully G&W and YL is where it ends for cuts, but this is info I'm going off of from like E3. We barely know anything else.
