Man I can't wait for this to come out, it's gonna be the best thing ever! ^_^

Cheza
This is the Super Smash Bros game we have all been waiting for!

Alainmeyer1
I can't wait for this game. It's gunnu be great!

Nintendo Fan
With fond memories of Super Smash Bros. Melee, my hopes are high for this one. And I want to see how Capcom's Solid Snake will fare against the Nintendo characters. Even if the game does not make use of the Wii's motion sensing technology, it's still gonna rock!

#1 Nintendo fan
WOW! I might just get WII for this game. I haven't seen any others I like.

gordon
MediKnight AND suitless Samus?! This game looks awesome!

Booya!
Can't wait til the game comes out. Snake's from Konami btw.

Xbox lord
This is the only reason I'm getting the Wii.

hawk
Samus looks like the woman from Kill Bill.

Virgil
Can not wait for who they are gonna add next, and I can't wait for this game altogether!

klepfnorchek
Truly god's greatest creation.

El Hobo-San
What? None of you are excited WARIO made the cut this year?

Gunnex
Finally! Meta knight, suitless Samus and that guy from Kid Icarus. It's about time!

OTKSotHQ
Wonder if other characters will appear in the game.

OldManHayes
With high-calibre games such as this, the Wii will likely sell very well, despite its diminuitive name.

Super Matt
They announced 3rd party characters (as in from other companies) so Sonic could be in it!

Lucas the ONE
I wish to know if it comes along with the wii package cos... I WANT ONE! Truly god has given us a great creation! I wonder if Waluigi will be in it?

Toffee Pop
This is gonna rock!

Shirobon
AWESOME! I can't wait to see the Wii.

Green Wario
Yes the clash between Nintendo characters lives on!

Jerry
If Sonic is in it, I hope Tails will be in it too.

JJ4eva
Sonic, in Smash Bros... awesome! o.o Tails, in Smash Bros... er, semi-awesome.

big lord face
I can't w8 for this to be out. It has Pit in it, Pit is awesome with his dual swords.

Epsilon
The new Smash Bros. looks AWESOME! I just hope all the characters from the previous game will be in it. It'd be a real downer if they aren't. BTW: It was announced at E3 that it's not going to be released until 2007. Oh, and the announced new characters' names are (for those who don't know): Meta Knight (the one with the mask), Pit (the angel guy), Zero Suit Samus (the one in the blue suit), Wario (the fat guy) and Snake (the cool-looking guy). Oh, and they have a movie of it on Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Dojo website.

WW
Personally I'd rather see Knuckles in it than Tails. Knuckles would kick more asses! Or maybe someone wacky like Dr Robotnik.

SSBB Master
SSBB rules! I am a big fan of Nintendo and this game is one of the reasons I am buying Wii.

Hyrule lord
The graphics are well done and Link looks cool! And Epsilon, the creator of this game said every character from SSBM might return.

Some Random Person
Too bad it comes out in 2007. Oh well I bet it\'ll be worth the wait.

Hyrule lord
It's too bad that japanese fans are being asked who they want to be included in SSBB. If they ask the American fan, I'm gonna say Vaati and maybe Cloud from Final Fantasy. Who do YOU want to be included?

OTKSotHQ
Hope Sonic and Tails will be there!

NoName
What about Shadow!

Ishisu
This game is going to change smash bros as we know it.

Caex
Is that the ship from Skies of Arcadia in the background of the link pic!? That means we could play with Vyse! Yay! This looks really cool.

SSBB Master
No, I think its the Halberd from Kirby Super star.

M.A.X
Sorry to dissapoint Caex, but that ship belongs to Meta-Knight.

daniel13789
no, its metaknights ship

KuzureShadow
Because my favourite game character is Shadow, I would really like to see him in this along with Sonic. Though, only Sonic would work great. Think about playing the former rivals Mario vs Sonic! Hope it's more than a rumor and thats Sonic really is in it, it would be AWESOME!

Epsilon
I think it would be pretty cool to see Sonic or Megaman in it. And if they do put Sonic in I'll bet $1000 that one of the battle stages is Green Hill Zone.

Epsilon
Ooh! I forgot to mention the new super moves. Pretty much, there'll be a super rare item in the shape of the SSB emblem and whichever character gets it uses his or her super moves. So far, Nintendo has shown the super moves of Mario, Link and Kirby. Mario's is a giant Kamehameha-like fireball, Link runs up to one enemy and slashes them an incredible number of times. As for Kirby, he turns into Cook Kirby and well, I bet you can guess what goes in his pot.

SSBB Master
I would like Sonic, Shadow, Silver, any Fire Emblem character, any legendary Pokemon and any other 3rd party character to be in SSBB. But I got a lot more character and stage ideas.

Epsilon
Legendary Pokemon? Nah, I mean it'd just be too weird.

sonics sidekick
Please put Sonic and Shadow. If not Shadow at least Knuckles.

Lunchbox
Alright before I start, Hyrule lord you're dumb on the Cloud thing, the reason they're not asking americans is they want semi-nintendo characters, not completely off. Now Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles would be nice characters (the clavats) Locke or Terra from Final Fantasy III. Any Skies of Arcadia, maybe an RE person (Leon or Claire), characters from Golden Sun. Oh and don't forget Baten Kaitos, Zero or Mega-man from Megaman, Dragon Warriors charcaters, Phantasy Star characters, Paper Mario, Tales of Symphonia. Those are some of my wanted/plausible SSBB characters.

mhernandez1987
This is one of the first games for the wii I am going to get.

SSBB Master
Anyone know that stage that's on top of a sky that also looks like the battlefield stage? What game is it from?

king of the shark's
This game should have Sonic, Tails, Master Chief, Mew, Bowser jr, Shadow Mario, Waluigi and Conker that would be the shizzle nizzle.

Hyrule lord
I hope all 3 links from Majora Mask will be playable. Also do you guys remember Fierce Deity from MM? It would be cool if he's playable and he looks cool. I hope Hal Labs are reading this. I really want to play as Fierce Deity and maybe the 3 links. Don't forget Vaati too!

JD
I don't care who's in it (Although Sonic, Shadow and a bunch of others would be cool). It's gonna be a great game, and one more reason to buy the wii! Oohh, Phantom Ganon would be cool too though and Baby Bowser, and Shadow Mario. Yeah, anyway it's gonna be great hehe. King Dedede would be a fun character!

JD
Cloud, Sephiroth, Kadaj, Sora and Riku should be there. No doubt most people won't have a clue what I'm talking about. Giga Bowser should be playable, a couple of Fire Emblem people and maybe some people from Soul Calibur. I'd like to see how they cope!

sonic lover
Sonic, Tails, Knux, Shad kicking Mario's ass that would ROCK!

Nicholas
samus is a BABE!!!

Hyrule lord
I just hope the creator of this game can include as many characters & stages as he can for SSBB. And Lunchbox, I actually heard about the Cloud rumor from many people and I thought MAYBE it would be cool to see him in SSBB.

SSBB Master
Hey Epsilon, did you know those super rare item you mentioned are called the "Smash Orb"?

#1 fan of Wii world
I am sooo getting the Wii! And Lunchbox, let's not call people dumb. These comment boxes are for your comments for the wii or its game. Lets not disagree each other. Everyone's idea is cool. Now I hope I can make friends here. Epsilon, SSBB Master, Hyrule Lord, and Sonic lover seems nice in my opinion, will you guys be my friends? (:

king of the shark's
Are we all just thinking about the guys we can play as? Think about the stages, items and Kirby's sucking ability too! I mean what would he look like if he sucked up Snake or Wario.

George McHill
If it has Snake it should have Rydener, Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Knuckles, Cloud , Sephiroth, Sora, Riku, Ganon WITH THE SWORD. It will be splendid.

Nathan Schotten
Oh god! This game is gonna be GREAT! Mainly because of Solid Snake, he will own them all. We all know that, don't we?

DA DUDE
This game will kick ass, take that Xbox 360!

SSBB Master
What? Not many of you are excited about the new stages?!? I think my favorite one is the castle from Fire Emblem and the stage where Snake and Link are. Look at the 2nd last screenshot.

sonic lover
I would like the Master Emerald Shrine to be in it.

daruni106
Hey, that second to last screenshot that Link and Snake are in that SSBB Master mentioned? That looks an awful lot like the Nuclear Waste Disposal Faciility on Shadow Moses Island in Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes!

1 up mushroom
Hey doesn't this site have a screenshot of Wario?

Hyrule lord
It's weird that Kirby didn't change but every other character did. Link looks like the one who changed a lot.

wii owns you
I have no comment worthy of describing this concentrated mass of awesomeness mistakingly referred to as just a game.

Hyrule lord
It's weird and I can't believe I'm saying this but I heard there was gonna be a sex mini-game in this game.

croy
Sonics sidekick is right guys except for Knuckles being in the game.

king of the shark's
I just thought of something. What if this game had anime characters in it, you know like Goku, Luffy, Naruto and Bobobo. That would be pretty cool.

Koen van Beeck
I'm looking forward to this game. But I am getting pretty sick of all those "I hope non-nintendo-character-that-will-most-likely-never-make-it-into-any-SSB-game-EVER will be in it!" I keep hearing everywhere. Snake is literally MORE than enough to me. Let's hope this game won't disappoint, seeing as it won't really use the WiiMote's unique control.

sonic super freak!
What happens if Snake did the 1,000 years of pain on Link? HAHA.

Majinpicclo
I am buying the Wii and the PS3. Can't wait for this game.

JD
Actually forget Kadaj, Cloud and Sephiroth. Keep Sora and Riku. Time for some ol' skool Characters! Mario with fludd, Shadow Mario, Baby Bowser, Vaati, Ganon (as in the big A** monster), Waluigi, Daisy, Toad, Raiden, From Metal Gear, Dark Samus, Diddy kong. And maybe, just maybe, Pensuke. Oh yeah, and Feirce Deity Link. As for levels, I think Ganon's Castle from OOT and also outside of it when it's crumbling. This game will be so awesome! With or without that stuff, but mostly with!

g33
I'd like to have the Turtles in it ;)

Lynx
That would be the worst sin against humanity ever.

Hyrule lord
Toad? Nah, Peach already has a move using toad.

SSBB Master
Huh? SEX mini-game? Are you sure Hyrule Lord?

SSBB Master
Oh yeah, in this one site it said that 3 new characters were going to be in this game. They were: Bowser Jr., Ridely and the Wind Waker Link. It also said that the Ice Climbers, Mr. Game & Watch and Young Link were NOT going to be in this game. It hasn't been confirmed yet but I hope it's false because Ice Climbers are cool and they are one of my favorite characters.

chaba
If they added Konami character Solid Snake, I'd say they should add Alucard from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night as a secret character.

unknown
Keep all other characters from Melee.

JD
When is this game coming out? Because I heard it won't be a launch title.

bc
You should put Sora and Riku on the game because they were in CoM. So they are a part Nintendo like Sonic.

i rule
Smash Bros online and with Pit. Yep, it's gonna be good.

JD
I agree about Sora and Riku.

SSBB Master
When I get this game, who wants to face me online? I'm really good. As my name says, I'm the master (I think). It'll be fun.

1 up mushroom
Cool game. I'm definitely gonna get this. Hey Koen van Beeck, according to an interview there are going to be 1-2 more 3rd party characters excluding Snake.

Hyrule lord
Wind Waker Link? Cool, Cel shaded in 3D SSB world. I hope it's true but I also hope they keep all characters from Melee. Especially Young Link unless he is replaced by Cel shaded Link.

Andr913
This will kick MAJOR butt!

i rule
They can't have 3 links because although I know this is not true, it looks like they are running out of ideas.

DEMON5007
I nearly crapped myself when I saw the movie for this (not really). I'll have to get a Wii just to play this game. Although I'll probably get one because of Metroid Prime 3 as well.

Luigi the pizza man
This game looks so good. I'd like to see the baby mario bros in it! They could work together like the ice climbers! Oh and also fierce link from MM would be cool too.

some random stranger
This game will be AWESOME! I can't wait to use Suitless Samus and Pit. Metaknight and Snake will be awesome too. My hope is that this game will have Ganon (big scary monster with swords).

JD
Oh apparently they'll have ALL the characters from SSBM and over double the characters. I don't know if it's true, but I hope it is.

sidar
Snake is from Konami unless I'm mistaken, not Capcom. What's up with the Sonic, Tails and Shadow? What's so great about the sega characters? Kid Icarus is just a must have! I knew he was gonna be in it.

SSBB Master
I heard that the clones in SSBM are now going to be separate characters. If this is true, then I hope that Ganondorf will use his sword and Dr. Mario to use some Doctor equipment.

Fishmon
Sonic would rule, they should put him in! If they put him and Megaman in there could be a company war! Mario for Nintendo, Sonic for Sega, Megaman for Capcom and Snake for Konami. That would rule!

JD
No, no, no not Mario, not Sonic, not war. Well, not company wars. Everyone fights, despite what the company is. Oh and also, Link is cooler than Mario, so it should be Link for Nintendo.

Noah of Nintendo Bunker
YES! Now we're getting into some good Wii games! I'm rooting for Sonic in this one. There are probably 200 characters in it.

Fishmon
I think Link is cooler and better but in the battle the company should use their biggest mascot. It just makes more sense. Come on, how can you not want to see that JD?

XxSMASH-LORDxX
I seriously hope they put Sonic in, that would be great. Also you know how all the characters will have a new special move, well Sonic's should be like he presses his watch and it calls Tails and Knuckles. Tails first flies in, picks up the person who Sonic is fighting, spins them around then throws them up in the air. Then Knuckles comes and jumps and in the air and punches them down hard causing a big explosion. Damn Nintendo you need Sonic, he is a must have!

nintendo freak
I can kick butt in SSBM, I could probably beat SSBM Master.

Someone cooler than you
You know who would be better than Sonic? ANYONE. Seriously, I'm getting tired of the "OMG Sonic must be in teh game!" posts people are putting all over the internet. Come on! There are hundereds of other characters that would be way better than him. And don't even get me started on Tails and Knuckles. If you put them in the game, you might as well put in Tom Nook, Daisy, Spongebob, Empty soda can, Pichu and all the other crappy characters you can think of! Anyways, I think that there should be a stage where you're in a volcano and the lava is rising, and you have to get to the top and push everyone into the lava. That would be cool.

king of the shark's
I wonder about Master Hand. Maybe he gets a body this time.

SSBB Master
I agree with Someone cooler than you. You people should stop posting that Sonic or other Sonic characters might be in this game. Almost everyone here has posted that I hope Sonic will be in this game! Post other stuff like the stages and the items.

Epsilon
Why would Sora and Riku be in it? It makes no sense, aside from Chain of Memories, the Kingdom Hearts series is on the PS2.

DEMON5007
Good idea, SSBB Master. Let's talk less about characters and more about the other stuff. You know how sometimes the matches in SSBM can get really intense, and you just want to capture the moment? Maybe they should have a "record match" feature in the game. Like a save replay thing?

SSBB Master
I heard that the 1 player mode is going to be different. I hope they keep the Adventure mode and the All-stars though. The classic mode is okay. If they're gonna keep the adventure mode then I hope there is going to be more adventuring than fighting.

Fishmon
What kind of stages do you guys want? I always turn items off in ssbm so I don't care about them. I think it would be cool to play on Volvagia's arena from OoT. It would be about the size of final destination. It could have those fiery geysers shoot lava up every once in a while. Sometimes Volvagia would come down and shoot flames and drop rocks on its way back up. That would rule! By the way I heard from somewhere that it's supposed to come out in Q1 of 2007. I don't remember where or if it's true or anything. I just read it a couple of days ago. It could be right or wrong, I don't know. Just some info I read.

Fishmon
I read somewhere today that it's to come out in Spring of 07.

SSBB Master
I wonder what will the Final Destination and the Battlefield stage will look like. Anyone know what that stage is? Look in screenshots 1, 2, 4 and 6.

ness
This is gonna be good if it has Ridley.

Someone cooler than you
How about a Tetris stage? You would have to jump across the falling blocks! The stage would be over a bottomless pit. And, what about a stage where you run from an avalanche? You could throw people into the avalanche!

Someone cooler than you
You know what would be great? What if you could make your own characters. That would be awesome!

Twangalang
Someone cooler than you, it would be cool if you could upload a picture of yourself through the usb ports when you make your own characters.

kahfkdahk
Where's Sam Fisher?

LordRandom
Two things. I praise whoever it was that decided to put Suitless Samus in this game, and I don't want anyone denying that they like Samus' looks. There could be one retro arena for each character, or maybe an all-stages-in-one mode where you can switch between arenas when a character leaves the stage or something.

JD
I agree with Someone cooler than you. I love creating characters in games.

Tony
Someone cooler than you loving how you put 'empty soda can' before Pichu. He was probably my worst character. Diddy Kong would be good, he'd have all his DK64 moves, including a jetpack for his 3rd jump and the peanut guns.

supersmashboy
New People (others): Bowser Jr., Wind waker Link and Ridley. You can play as these. Say bye to: Mr. Game and Watch, Ice Climbers and Young Link.

SSBB Master
Actually the 3 new characters are just a rumor. It isn't confirmed yet.

metroid lover
I can't wait to play this game online with all of you guys when the game gets to stores!

Fishmon
I'll play a friendly competition with you metroid lover but I'm gonna kick JD's butt with Sonic! He's in the game, I know he is! I just know! And then maybe I'll beat him to oblivion with Megaman! He's probaby in the game. As for you metroid lover I might be Metaknight or Pit. I'm not gonna be the same char as you. I hate having more than one of the same character in a match. Except for this morning when I had a tournament of 64 Marios going against each other lol.

metroid lover
I'm probably going to use link or samus since those are the only characters I'm good with.

ShadowLink
What if they put gorons and zoras. That would be cool

SSBB Master
I can't wait to face all of you!

Someone cooler than you
I just had a great idea. How about you can download characters from other games. Like, let's say you buy Pikmin Wii. You can download Captain Olimar into the game! Think about all the characters you could get!

Pea- Tear- Griffin
As long as Peach and Zelda are in, along with a stage like the zelda ruins from ssbm then I am buying this thing.

plok
Scty that really is an awesome idea. Guess there's not much chance of it happening though.

Count CoCo Fang
This game is one of the best looking Wii games so far. I want it more so than Zelda:TP!

Gina the Bat
Omg, so getting this!

kahfkdahk
C'mon they should have Sam Fisher vs. James Bond vs. Duke Nukem, gunning down all the nintendo characters.

king of the shark's
I wonder if giga bowser gets bigger.

Dory
I have a dream to see a clash. Sonic vs Mario, not in a flash movie but in a real game. I hope Tails and Knuckles get in this, but sega might only try to get Sonic in. Well I can still pit him against Mario.

Lightchu
Oh no, we're talking about the characters again.

Veedit
Forget Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. You have to put NiGHTS into the game. If they're going to put anyone from sega into the game, they should put that character in.

quartzlcc
If Sonic is actually in it, that will be REALLY awesome. But unfortunately Sonic is on other consoles than Nintendo's, even now. But you can still wonder, regarding Snake.

JD
I don't care about levels or characters - Even though I really do. I just wanna go online and Whup everyone! I need this game. Most of all I need the console but, um yeah.

SSBB Master
I hope they bring back the special mode like the camera mode and the stamina mode.

Cheza
I think that Wolf Link from Twilight Princess should be another form of Link like Zelda/Sheik in SSBM. And give Ganon his own moves like the ones from the final battle in OOT.

king of the shark's
Here is the list of pokemon characters I want in the game: mew, lugia, charizard, blastoise, raichu, parasect and abra.

Butthole
You guys stop with your dreams! They're never going to come true! These guys will never come. Where the hell do u get Sonic and them anyways?

SSBB Master
Let's talk about something else that has nothing to do with characters!

lordrandom
Does anyone else have any item ideas? how 'bout the characters can use items from other games like they did with the mushroom in SSBM? It'd also be kinda cool if the characters' clothing wore down after they got beat up a lot.

Kirby4Wii
Hey there's already one kirby villain, why not add another like King Dee Dee Dee! C'mon who DOESN'T like that weird duck thing.

sega sam
For one I'll talk about whatever the hell I want regardless of whether you want to hear it or not capiesh. Now I would definitely like to see sonic in there. There's a good chance but I'm not getting my hopes up. For items capsules could drop and you could get rings, invincibility or the running shoes. And as a super move he could turn into super sonic. If tails is in there (which I doubt) he could fly on his plane and shoot people. But being realistic if they put sonic in there then it's probably just gonna be Sonic, Tails would be pushing it. You can forget Knuckles and everyone else. If you have a nasty comment keep it to yourself, it doesn't serve to change anything just pisses me off.

SSBB Master
Actually, there is a HUGE possibility that Sonic is playable because on the poll of the official website, lots of people want him in this game.

Someone cooler than you
(Finally, after hearing about how great Sonic would be in SSBB, SCTH finally snaps). The only dang reason why people want Sonic in this game is because of that stupid April Fools joke! If that magazine never made that "Sonic in Smash Bros.' rumor, I bet he wouldn't be in SSBB. Why? Because Sonic is a crappy fighting game character. I mean come on! He runs, jumps, does that one homing attack and turns into Super Sonic! That's all! I have yet to see a Sonic game where he does any attacks good enough to get him in a fighting game. And Tails? Sorry to upset all Tails fans (yes, all 4 of you) but there is no chance in hell that Tails will ever be in Smash Bros!

Sonic the true master
Sonic, Shadow and other sonic characters will not be added. Believe me I know.

Me
Nintendo stated something about that they can't use Sonic. They're trying to go around it since the people want Sonic.

Lightchu
If Sonic is playable then I hope he will use moves from Sonic Battle.

Aleanur
They can't use characters that aren't in games published by Nintendo, Sonic CAN'T be used because Sony owns its rights. Snake was in this game, because there was a Metal Gear game for the SNES. Characters like Sora and Riku can't appear! I just can't stand this weird talk, get your facts straight.

SSBB Master
Then let's talk about stuff that will appear in this game 100%.

Darunia106
I'm sorry Ale, but you need to get YOUR facts straight. The only Nintendo systems to feature Metal Gear games were the NES (Metal gear 1 & 2), Game Boy Color (Metal Gear Solid), and the Gamecube (Metal Gear Solid: the Twin Snakes). And it is NOT possible for Sony to own the rights to Metal Gear, otherwise there would never be a Metal Gear for the Xbox, yet there is a Metal Gear Xbox title. In the past, Super Smash Bros featured only characters from Nintendo published titles, yet a character from a third-party developer and publisher will be playable in this game. This is why people are more hopeful than ever to have a third-party developer's characters in the game, like Sega's Sonic and Capcom's Megaman. But I also have my doubts, Metal Gear Solid, The Twin Snakes was a remake of the original and was remade with the help of Silicon Knights (the company that made Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem) and was also aided in development by Shigeru Miyamoto (the genius who created Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Star Fox, and Pikmin). So it is very possible that it will only feature characters from games originally released for Nintendo video game systems. And just because you see at the beginning of every game "licensed by Nintendo" it only means Nintendo has given the publisher permission to release the game on their system. The same goes with Sony and Microsoft. Now that I've set everyone's minds straight, go do some actual research while I take a nap.

drew_crocker
Sonic was owned by sega, not sony. There are plenty of sonic games on gamecube. Snake was also on gamecube on the twin snakes, which was a remake of metal gear solid. There will not be any ps2 or xbox exclusive characters in the game.

greatqueenfan
Banjo and Kazooie can not appear because they are owned by rare. Microsoft owns rare. Keep only first party characters for smash. They should have custom character download mode, then Mega Man, Banjo, Sonic, Splinter Cell and co could be in game through their publishers uploading their characters.

Keayu_the_Keaton
You know who I think should appear in SSBB? Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia. Maybe Genis too.

Ja-Mez
Come on SEGA! We want SONIC! I've got ideas for his moves already: Jump: X BUTTON (He jumps). Double Jump: 2X X BUTTON (He flips into a ball}. RETURN JUMP: UP+B BUTTONS(Flips with blue aura and can hurt people like samus can). He will obviously be the fastest runner. Ring Throw: Press B and he throws a ring. Sonic Spin:DOWN+B BUTTONS (Will roll around like Yoshi's Egg Roll). Sonic strike: B+LEFT/RIGHT (Must charge and then ram an opponent). Punch Punch Kick: Press A three times. Scissor Kick: UP+A BUTTONS (Flips backwards while kicking his legs). Spin Kick: A+LEFT/RIGHT (Quickly spins around to kick an opponent) Can Charge. Sonic Blast: A+DOWN (Crosses his arms over his face then smacks the crap out of enemies near him sending them skyward). Well, that would be if you can plug in gamecube controls or the new controls if they have the same butons.

kahfkdahk
The splinter cell idea was all me, now if they could just get Conker in the game.

supersmashboy
Actually metroid lover it was confirmed by the French.

crapman
Banjo and Kazooie are owned by Nintendo!

Zar
Banjo and Kazooie is a Rare original series, and thus unaffiliated with Nintendo.

kahfkdahk
There has been a rumor that Ubisoft may be adding characters to the roster, which includes Rayman, the prince and (drumroll), Sam Fisher! I went bezerk when I found this out. This is no joke either.

Flamic
Sony does not own the majority of sonic rights, Nintendo does.

Flamic
I like how zero suit Samus looks sexy, smooth, flexible and hot.

Ja-Mez
I'm agreeing with flamic there. I've now written down what Shadow's moves would be, next will be tails: A: Punch Punch Kick(tap A 3 times). A+LEFT/RIGHT: Rocket kick (Shadow whops someone with a fiery kick). A+UP: Rocket Blast (Shadow slams his foe with an explosive kick). A+DOWN: Bazooka (Shadow blasts people with rockets but drops his item that he's holding - It's from shadow the game). B: Ring toss (Like Sonic, except throws 3 rings but doesn't make foe flinch). B+LEFT/RIGHT: Shadow Ball (Shadow rolls around like Sonic except with fire around him). B+UP: Chaos Control (Shadow will turn blue and zoom back as a return move but doesn't hurt people). B+DOWN: Chaos Blast (Charge for three secs and whamo! All enemies around him are toast!). X: Jump (Shadow does a standard leg jump and he can wall jump). Tap X twice for double jump. He will flip twice quickly. X+A: Chaos Kick (Shadow kicks down hard to slam the crap out of an opponent). X+B: Chaos spear (Shadow fires 3 blue glowing spears at an enemy).

Ja-Mez
I'm glad they finally made an alternative character from Metroid: Zero Suit Samus, Ridley, Gravity Suit Samus and Kirby's Dream land: Kirby, Meta night and King Dedede. I wonder if Samurai Goroh or whatever his name is will be in it from F-Zero.

Ja-Mez
Ya know, Pit looks alot like Roy with wings.

SSBB Master
I heard that the maximum characters for this game would be 30-40. Also Sakurai said there would be 2-3 more 3rd party characters NOT including Snake.

greatqueenfan
No! SEGA owns Sonic!

Mr. Nintendo
Is it just me or should this game have a chain chomp character? Anyone who agrees?

Ja-Mez
I'd love to see Black Doom as a character. Jeez this is almost like talking on MSN!

Kirby Freak
Meta-knight is gonna kick ass.

Sark900
I think they should have Dyna blade as a sub-boss.

Someone cooler than you
I swear, why does everyone want Sonic? Seriously! Ok, you know what?! Lets add Tom Nook! A: Punch. A+Left/Right: Running Punch. A+Up: Upward Punch. A+Down: Downward Punch. B: Standing Kick. B+Left/Right: Running Kick. B+Up: Kinda Higher Kick. B+Down: Low Kick. X: Hop. X+A: Hopping Punch. X=B: Hopping Kick. Doesn't that sound great?! Let's add him! Since I figured out what his moves are, the programmers are guaranteed to add him! Now come on, I'm surprised no one wants more characters like Zero-Suit Samus, or cool classic characters like Wart from SMB2! Let's get a bit more creative!

king of the shark's
You know this maybe off topic but one time long ago I had a dream that the gorillaz were in ssbm. If you think that's a weird dream, one time I dreamed of sonic fighting zombies.

segaloyal
I would absolutely die to see Sonic characters in this game. I would also like to see new costumes like for Samus I would like to see zero helmet Samus and cooler suits, such as the phazon and the dark suit.

go sonic
Go to hell Somebody cooler than you, you're just jealous because Sonic would be a kick ass fighter.

Ja-Mez
Maybe they might introduce Pikmin characters like Captain Olimar and Louey. Mr Nintendo, have you noticed that most characters have legs?

Fishmon
We need more rival battles, e.g Mario vs Bowser, Link vs Ganondorf and Kirby vs Metaknight. For instance, Yoshi vs Kamek, DK vs King K Rool, Kirby vs King Dedede (also), Samus vs Ridley, Mewtwo vs Mew maybe? Something like that would be awesome. Aww come on! No one's commented my volvagia stage idea! Hey, maybe there could be a bongo bongo stage from zelda oot. You'd be on a giant drum about the size of final destination. Every once in a while bongo bongo would appear and bang on the drum with his hands. It doesn't hit you but the drum bounces you in the air! And there could be that acid below the stage (if I remember correctly) like in Samus's stage but it wouldn't move. It would just hurt you when you fall off.

ss4luigi12
I like the sora and riku idea but I would like them better if they were in the kingdom hearts 2 clothes, they look like such better fighters and plus it would be awesome to use a keyblade. It would be sweet if they had drive mode for sora lol.

king of the shark's
What is wrong with you people? Isn't Snake enough? Remember it's a Nintendo game, not a crazy all-console fighting game! Get it through your thick skulls.

Flamic
Greatqueenfan Sega does own Sonic that's correct, they obviously have the majority of rights to him. After that would be Nintendo, we were only talking about Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo.

SSBB Master
Hey Fishmon, I like your idea but those stages are from Ocarina of Time. It should be stages from Twilight Princess. And we shouldn't talk about characters that can't be in this game! The only reason Snake is in this game is because Kojima "begged" for Snake. Now there is a little chance Sonic will appear but like I said before the maximum 3rd party characters is 1-2. If we're gonna talk about characters how about talking about Nintendo characters? Also let's talk about items, stages, 1 player mode etc.

greatqueenfan
The Sonic ownership works like this: 50% SOA/E and 50% SOJ.

kahfkdahk
Enough of Sonic, how about some Crash? At least he was on a system that people actually played.

king of the shark's
I think it should have Tom Nook, Waluigi, Riachu, Mew, King Dedede , Andross and Shyguy. For stages I think it should have Mario's underground level, Yoshi's big baby bowser fight level, Andross's lair, a Warioware minigame level and the Wii system level. I pray to god they don't remove the ice climbers.

Someone cooler than you
Why in god's name would I be jealous of a character in a fighting game? That doesn't even make sense! I've heard better insults from a turkey sandwich! And turkey sandwiches are very frendly! So in conclusion, YOU are the one that should be going to hell. And here is an idea for a new mode: race mode! You race to the finish and beat up the other guys to slow them down!

Fishmon
What about a planet from Super Mario Galaxy? Asteroids could hit you and stuff.

Hino
People are all going crazy over 3rd party characters now. Snake's only in there since the Konami dude practically begged to have Snake in SSBB.

SSBB Master
Right you are Hino. Like I said BEFORE the maximum 3rd party character is 1-2 so stop posting so many 3rd party characters!

Fishmon
Actually it's 2-3 3rd party chars. They said that there's going to be 1-2 more EXCLUDING SNAKE! So it's 2-3 including Snake. This would take forever to make, but wouldn't it be awesome if each character had their own adventure mode? Or at least every character group. Mushroom Kingdom chars would go through a bunch of Mushroom Kingdom levels, Hylian chars could travel Hyrule, Metroid chars could go through a bunch of Metroid game levels etc. Comments?

MAZ
I can't wait for this game, it's going to be better than the one one GameCube!

ATrueNightmare
I seriously think that Ganondorf's super move should be him either turning into Ganon from Ocarina of Time OR he flies up into the air and fires tons of energy bolts. I hope that all the characters from SSBM are in SSBB because if they weren't then that would suck. Also SSB on N64 had 8 characters and 4 secret characters for a total of 12. In SSBM there are more than twice that. So I'm guessing there will be a lot of new characters. Wii is the best next-generation system without a doubt! If you disagree I'll hunt you down and kill you for being too stupid to deserve life.

SSBB Master
Your ideas are cool Fishmon, but who would be the boss? Giga Bowser? I also like your stage idea except most are from LoZ OoT. If Sakurai is going to put 30-40 characters, then he shouldn't remove any characters but he might. Anyway does anyone else have any stage or item ideas?

ds
Someone cooler than you should be shot for saying something messed up like that. Dude, all the times Tails and Knuckles had to spend with Sonic and they don't get crap.

Dory
I mean Sonic advance 1-3, Sonic pinball, Sonic battle and Sonic Rush. Team Sonic should be in this.

Ja-Mez
I just found out characters who are definitely gonna be in this game: Sonic because Sega and Nintendo are good friends now, PacMan from Namco, Bomber Man, Megaman from Capcom and Prince of Persia from PS2! It's all true, go to Google and then images, type in super smash bros brawl characters. It pops up with Sonic, Pacman and Bomberman. Click on Sonic or Pacman, Bomberman goes somewhere else.

Ja-Mez
I like Fishmon's idea. I know the perfect Sonic stage, Ice Cap Zone. It was my fave stage and it had the best music which compelled me to make a remix of it. Also Marble Zone or Scrap Brain Zone would be good too.

Ja-Mez
Hey I just read somewhere that Shadow and Knuckles might be unlockable characters with Tails and Sonic as starters! And I swear, if we have to unlock Jigglypuff again...

Ja-Mez
I wonder if you'll be able to select music from other stages to put it on another, for example Roy's music on the final destination stage.

RickyRex
It's gonna be sweet. Too bad they won't be using the WII-MOTE. But oh well. Sonic will probably be in this game, that would satisfy a large audience. It's good to hear they are going 3rd party, but bad also. It is becoming less of Super Smash Bros and more of an Ultimate Videogame Fun Death Match game. But it will be awesome, no doubt. Can't wait to get it, it will rock my world.

Ja-Mez
Someone cooler than you, you need to put the characters moves in better detail. I mean any character could do an upward punch, and don't copy my idea! By the way, who the hell is Tom Nook?

Ja-Mez
I watched this film that I think is the starting movie of SSBB and it shows Mario, Link, Pikachu and Kirby at the start. They sort of power up and their graphics become way better, except for Kirby, he gets a little pissed. Then it shows em fighting on the Meta-Knight stage and then the ship opens and Meta-Knight is on top. Then he fights with em and Pit shoots an angel arrow from the sky, Meta knight blocks it with his cape, they fight then Samus shoots this big blast and the force of it breaks her suit, she fights. Then Wario comes on his motorbike and farts in everyones face with his Wario Waft. Then Snake is talking to his commander and he tells him that he's invited to SSBB. He already happens to be there hiding under a box, then he jumps out in front of Mario and Link and says "It's showtime".

Ja-Mez
The real downer about SSBB is that it's released in 2007. That's what I hate, finding out about a mad ass game and you have to wait half a freaking year for it to come out.

SSBB Master
Hey Ja-mez, I went to google and when I clicked Sonic it was just a list of characters they WISH to see! Read carefully. Also there can only be 1-2 more 3rd party characters excluding Snake! Sonic and Tails as starters are just rumors! I won't believe it unless I see it on the ACTUAL SITE, Super Smash bros Dojo. Other sites are just trying to trick us!

Ja-Mez
I don't care how many characters there are, as long as there are over 26 I'm good. And I agree with RickyRex about Sonic pleasing a large audience, because I'm part of that audience.

Ja-Mez
Hey Nintendo! If some characters have the same fighting style like C. Falcon and Ganondorf, change them please? I hate players with the same style.

krnxboi012
HOLY CRAP this list is long. I believe super smash bros melee is the most antcipated game for the Nintendo platform. It's gonna be awesome because of the Wii's ability to connect to the net where you can battle your friends from the comfort of your own home. Plus mastering the characters all over again with the new setup of the Nintendo Wii would surely make this game for all people. Might be one of the video game legends.

Mr. Sakurai
Hi guys, I know you are all psyched up about this new game but I'm very sorry to say that it is postponed to 2008.

SSBB Master
Don't worry Ja-mez, like I said before, all the clones like Ganondorf and Dr. Mario will have different movesets. I hope Ganondorf will use his sword.

your mom
Yay I kicked butt on super smash bros since I was 5. Samus is one HOT chick. Sonic, Knuckles, Tails are all cool but sadly they aren't on the game.

Someone Cooler Than You
To ds: Tails and Knuckles don't get crap because they already are crap, so it would be pointless. Ja-Mez: You didn't "Find out" that those characters are definitely going to be in the game! And I doubt those are real pictures. If they WERE, they would be on every SSBB site, including this page. And just because you read something somewhere, doesn't mean it's true. Watch this: "The great wall of China is made out of swiss cheese". You read it. That must mean it's true! (end sarcasm). And that Tom Nook character move set was a joke. By the way, Tom Nook is a racoon in Animal Crossing Wild World that runs the town store. And that "film" you watched is not the starting film for the game. It's the preview shown at E3, and so far it's the only official video of SSBB.

Someone Cooler Than You
Hey, one thing that needs to stop happening is people posting rumors as facts. Unless you have pictures and/or game footage proving it, don't say it's true! By the way, there's over 200 posts here now!

SSBB Master
I agree with SCTY. Start posting something, anything but rumors! And Mr. Sakurai, you're not the real Sakurai and I have proof. If it really is postponed then this news would be on the real site and other game sites.

Someone Cooler Than You
Oh great. Not only are people pretending to be video game characters, but now "Mr. Sakurai" over there is pretending to be the guy who makes the game!

Halo god
Master Chief is the only character I need.

lawlopp
I don't think 'Master Chief' will be in it n00b.

Someone Cooler Than You
Hey, if there's Master Hand, then Master Chief has a chance!

Ja-Mez
My idiotic friend Jake is Mr Sakurai. I told him he was being stupid.

Fishmon
Microsoft and Nintendo are fierce rivals so Master Chief is not gonna be in.

Jake (Not Ja-Mez's friend)
Honestly, I hope to GOD this game is gonna be so much better than the last Super Smash Bros game. I'm sorry, but the last game was a HUGE disappointment for me. I'm sorry and forgive me if I sound too picky and what say you, but in my personal opinion, I want to see a cutscene when someone is doing a huge attack. Like, the new item that everyone does their greatest attack, I think there should be a huge graphical cutscene to where they are preparing the attack and they actually shoot it. Then it gets back to regular gameplay, kind of like Mario Tennis to where you would see a short cutscene on character attacks and stuff, THAT IS WHAT I WANT! I was expecting big graphical advances in Super Smash Brother Melee, unfortunately I see the same type of format used in the N64 version. Don't get me wrong, the backgrounds were good and so was everything else. I just think, especially with Wii, they better show at least games using Wii's highest potential. If not this game, then at least do it on Twilight Princess, that's all I'm saying. Plus, I think that one unlockable character has to be a Mario related character.

SCTY, that is the most ridiculous logic I've ever seen.

I see in one of the pics there is Solid Snake, has he moved from playstation and come to the real home of games? Hope Nintendo do bring out Snake games.

Austin
It would be cool if you could be Ganandorf's 2nd form from The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time!

no sonic
Nintendo hates Sega.

Someone Cooler Than You
To Jake (Not Ja-Mez's friend): Congratulations. You just proved you're as dumb as your not-friend. Basically, your post says: "I hate Smash Bros because the graphics aren't pretty enough and there isn't a cutscene every five seconds!". You only care about graphics and cutscenes? Go rent a movie and leave us real fans alone!

SaMuSFREAK!!
I like Zero Suit Samus, her breasts are huge.

Flamic
Nintendo does not hate Sega, they are best pals. But it's not Nintendo's descision if Sonic is in Smash Bros, it's SEGA's.

king of the shark's
SaMuSFREAK!! you're a pervert.

kiki itachi
So are there any girl gamers here?

Mud
There is no way in hell Master Chief will be in it, there is a large chance Sonic will be in it.

some guy
I hope King K Rool is in it, that would rock! Or Diddy Kong! Man I want a Wii so bad now! That game's gonna sell out instantly. Go to the Super Smash Bros Brawl official website, it's awesome.

some guy
I hope there are xbox people in the game. It would be awesome if you could be Mario with Fludd!

1 up Mushroom
I don't know, are you a girl kiki itachi? Yeah you must be, your name sounds like a girl. The rest here are guys, right?

Ja-Mez
To the Jake that is not my friend: There is an item that lets the characters use their best move and Nintendo isn't trying to focus on better graphics this time, they're focusing on better gameplay.

kiki itachi
No I'm not a girl gamer, dork.

king of the shark's
My mom plays Burnout Revenge.

Killer Ape
Well you are right SaMuSFREAK, she does have huge breasts. Anyway like mud said Sonic would be in it and it would be SWEET! They should have Ridley in it. Oh yea I forgot Toad!

Ja-Mez
Absolutely no women here. I wish they would upload more screenshots.

Killer Ape
It would be sweet if Conker could be in it. He would have an attack where he throws poop!

whotolducouldeatmycookies
This game will be awesome. I'm really hoping they will put Oni Link in as a playable character. That'd add to the awesomeness!

Killer Ape
I hope Roy and Marth will be in brawl because they're awesome.

Ja-Mez
Imagine they had Mr Do with his big hammer or those guys from Dig Dug. What classics! Oh and by the way, Killer Ape said I could eat your cookies.

segaloyal
You all are idiots Master Chief isn't on a Nintendo system so he isn't going to be in it. Sonic and Megaman are most likely the third party characters but I'd rather see Shadow than Sonic.

KillerHonke
This game is gonna be friggin sweet! Conker, Sonic, Banjo-Kazooie, Diddy Kong, Cpt Olimar, Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden, Knuckles, Tails, Sunshine Mario, Vacuum Luigi and some others. Also, recently Sakurai (the developer) said on a radio talk show that ice climbers, game and watch, and young link would be taken out. But in their places will be Ridley from metroid, Bowser Jr. and Wind Waker Link. Also he said there will be 2-3 more third party characters aside from Snake and he wants to include 30-40 characters. Finally, he said he will incorporate a more robust single player mode. This game is gonna be amazing!

Keayu_the_Keaton
Hey I'm a girl. I think also Keaton should appear, at least as an item or something.

Killer Ape
*RUMOR* *RUMOR*! I heard this rumor that Ubisoft game characters are going to be in brawl. Rayman, Prince (from Prince of Persia), Jade (from Beyond Good and Evil) and Sam Fisher. This might not be true but it's a rumor. But besides that what about SONIC! Nintendo and Sega are really close and everyone wants Sonic in it.

SSBB Master
I hate rumors but I hate it more when someone starts rumors. Yay a girl and for some reason, this discussion about girl gamers reminds me of my ex-girlfriend.

Killer Ape
If Wario is going to be in it they should have someone from Warioware like Jimmy T or that alien dude with the spiky boots.

Kool Kid
Man this game looks so awesome I can't wait to buy it! I hope Princess Daisy is a playable character.

MarcMan
Man, this game is going to be crazy! Poo from Earthbound and Shadow would be really cool, I honestly think they need to put more baddies in. As of now, Ganondorf, Bowser and Meta-Knight are the only ones but it would be cool if they put King K Rool, Ridley from Metroid or King Dedede. And an Animal Crossing item, like a fishing pole or something haha.

kiki itachi
Wait I always thought Meta Knight was a good guy, and I think they should have more playable Pokemon characters like Mew and Groudon.

Killer Ape
There's a game for the Wii called Bonk's Adventure I saw on this website. Does that mean Bonk is going to be in Super Smash Bros Brawl?

Ja-Mez
I agree with Segaloyal that Xbox master is an idiot but I disagree the fact that Shadow will be in SSBB instead of Sonic. Never put someone into a game like this if they're not the main character. I like Killeerhonkes rumors, if they were true that would be awesome. And no, Meta Knight is not a good guy and how would you use a giant Groudon on a smaller arena? Mew would be stupid being the same as Mewtwo except pink and small kiki itachi. If anything, Groudon would come out of a Pokeball. And I doubt that they will put Bonk in this game, hardly anyone knows who he is. Conker's a good idea, but Princess Daisy is a stupid idea! She would have the same fighting style as Peach. Maybe not the same moves, but twin sisters, I hate players with the same fighting style! Mario and Luigi are ok, they're Nintendo biggies and have a few different moves, but C. Falcon and Ganondorf, Fox and Falco, Pikachu and Pichu, Roy and Marth, Link and Young Link (And possibly wind waker Link). And MarcMan, you haven't realised that Wario is also an enemy and Mewtwo. Pikachu can be an enemy too because Pokemon battle in Pokemon battles (L0L).

Someone Cooler Than You
KillerHonke, that is SO fake. If it's real, show us some damn proof! And those are terrible characters! Luigi's vaccum and Mario's FLUDD would be items, if in the game at all. And why would the producer remove characters? Ice Climbers and G&W are staying. They are ADDING characters, not REMOVING them. So there.

Killer Ape
Hey someone cooler then you (not), the part Killerhonke said about vacuum Luigi and sunshine Mario, he just wants them to be in it. The other stuff about taking out ice climbers, game & watch and young link is a rumor.

Killer Ape
After brawl comes out they should make a super smash bros ds. They would have some character from melee, some character from brawl (when it comes out) and new characters that we never saw in a super smash bros game.

Schkauffel
If you didn't know or if you did know, I just wanted to inform that there are newcomers: Isaac, Ridley,Baby Bowser, Waluigi, Wind Waker Link, Dark Samus, Lion Scott Kenedy, Dante, Cadpig and Lucky.

wiisel
They should put Spawn in it totally and Nightmare. Forget Sonic, hell put a balrog in there. But scrap the stupid pokemon.

king of the shark's
Hey I just got a idea what if Kirby sucks someone and does their special move. I agree with kiki itachi, they should have more playable pokemon.

Omniferous
I doubt there will be a lot of 3rd party characters like Sonic etc. I'd like to see Boo though and I'm not sure we need any more FE characters than Marth and Roy, though I'd like em. Pit will own. Some of these characters will probably be less known characters from really old games (example: Pit, Ice Climbers, Mr Game and Watch). We might even see characters like Toad and Daisy. I'm hoping for but not expecting Banjo-Kazooie, two of my favorite characters from the N64.

king of the shark's
Well if Meta Knight is a bad guy then why did he give his sword to Kirby in the amazing mirror?

TehB0n5lyK1n9
Meta Knight is neutral. I find him more the help character, with a bit of "secret boss" mixed in. More like bass in megaman BN or mewtwo in pokemon, than complete and utter villain. And we need the pokemon like deoxys or charizard. Charizard's always good. Can't forget charizard. Hmm. Maybe claydol. Lasers go bzzt. Losers go B00M.

link2009
I can't wait for ssbb to come out. I'm gonna run the online gaming of it, noone is gonna beat me!

Omniferous
Meta Knight is Kirby's father if I remember right and he wears that mask over his face. He's blue. I could be wrong on my first statement, but it's my theory.

baker legate
I hope they get rid of a bunch of the unlockable characters in ssbm because a bunch of them sucked: Falco, Ice climbers, Young link, Pichu, Dr Mario. And I really love this guy he's my favorite thing in gaming but he just wasn't fit for SSB, goodbye Mr Game and Watch. The creator of SSB said that he's getting rid of all the secret characters that were in SSBM except for Luigi and Jigglypuff. I hate Jigglypuff.

SSBB Master
Please provide some proof baker legate. I doubt he will get rid of that many characters.

kiki itachi
Meta Knight is a bad ass, I will be playing as him a lot.

Craver531
I know some of those characters rocked like Roy, Marth, Ganondorf, Young Link (only because Up+B move kept the enemies inside the strike and then let them out in a final blow), Mewtwo. I also heard that if you get 20 kills on cruel melee in the multi man melee thing when you have every character (including unlockable), you get to fight Sonic and Tails from sega at the same time, and if you win the battle Sonic and Tails fill up the corners on the bottom row. If anyone happens to do that or if you've already done it please tell me if it's real or not.

'Cooler Than You
As I said before, he is going to ADD characters. Pray tell, who told you that "fact"? And to Onmiferous, I think Kirby and Meta Knight might be brothers. I haven't watched the show in a while, so I might be wrong.

Ja-Mez
Hey I agree with TehB0n5lyK1n9 about Deoxys. But maybe not Charizard. I doubt Pokemon that come out of a Pokeball as an item, will become playable. Deoxys would be mad. And if Megaman is in this, I'm hoping for ElecMan. Not the midget one from Megaman Powered up the game, but the cartoon series where he has those cool lightning rods on his back and all that.

Killer Ape
Cooler than you he is going to add and TAKE out some characters. I heard this rumor that he's taking out Game and watch, Young Link and Ice Climbers. Good thing he is, they should be out.

KillerHonke
Hey you know what "someone cooler than you", maybe you should research it a little bit before you state your facts. I have actually read a bunch of articles in a variety of websites. Check out a couple of other websites because you obviously have no idea what you are talking about.

kiki itachi
I think in Mario Hoops they're putting Final Fantasy guys, so maybe they're putting them in this game too.

Chuf
I really hope there are no more Pokemon. I don't even like 5. Mewtwo was alright, but Pichu and Jigglypuff are useless. At least in the first game Jigglypuff's lullaby did something, but it's useless in melee. I do like its rollout attack though. I am so glad there are no clones, but I disagree with baker lagate. Ice climbers sucked, and Dr. Mario wasn't great (Luigi is close enough to Mario). I don't mind the new characters except Snake. He's cool, but he doesn't really fit in. What's he going to do, snap Mario's neck
