Who's getting it? Who's a long-time fan? Who's excited that Snake has finally been included in the game?

I think it has a lot of potential, but the amount of new features worries me that it may be quite an unbalanced fighting game. I'm bound to get it any which way though. SSBM had a lot of flaws, but I still enjoyed it and put around 40 hours into it. I just hope that the idea of guaranteed sales hasn't made Nintendo too complacent about maintaining the quality of this game.

Nintendo doesn't "do the easy", remember? ;)

I suppose. SSB is completely first-party now, isn't it (i.e. not made by HAL?). It could have easily been a launch title if they simply wanted sales, rather than a quality game.

True. None of the previous Smash Bros. titles have disappointed me, or anyone I know for that matter. I honestly doubt this one will be any different. Besides, the game will sell a lot more if it ends up being amazing. People still bought Melee after it became a Greatest Hit.

I can't wait for Brawl, it looks great. And I was so happy when they had that huge presentation with Snake. Those codec calls were hillarious, and all the original voice actors! :cool:

Yea, I was pretty happy too. Also really suprised.

By the way, they pushed back the release date to February 10th. And the second third-party character, Sonic the Hedgehog, is in it now.

Here's some characters that are definately unlikely to be in the game:

Saw that last night. Thought it was so fucking funny. In the meantime, these are characters I'm hoping will be in the game:

I am considering not getting it solely because of their blasphemous decision of adding sonic. being a long time SEGA fan, that really hurt, right here.

Why would Sonic being in the game disappoint you? Everyone else is excited.

Is it possible that it might be because Sonic has been over-exposed to the billionth power ever since Sammy corp. took over Sega back in 2004?

So? What, just because Sammy took over Sega means he sucks now?

I think it's the fact that his audience has changed. Not everyone who plays the games can sit through that TV show after all...

I'll tell ya.

Ever since Sonic Adventure 2 Sonic stopped being good, it tried to sell itself to everything at the same time. The games became bland and his style vanished.

When that show came out, the one on Fox, I was all pumped, but I quickly realized it was total utter poop.

Now, he is appearing in a game alongside Mario? How much more can Sega sell him out?

They're just not the same company they used to be =C

Even Sakurai wants Gray Fox to be a playable character. I wish they'd go ahead and do it.

"Awww! It makes you want to use him as a playable character."
Wonder who'd voice him...

Spoilers for MPO.
Spoiler:
They'd probably use the voice actor who filled in the character in Portable Ops; Jun Fukuyama. As for the English voice over...well, they have three voice actors to choose from if they ever did.

They'd probably use Rob Paulsen again.

They could always use Leonard Nimoy. :lol:

I can care less that Sonic is in it. Once Snake was announced to be in the game I knew I was buying a Wii and a copy of the game no matter what. I'm a long-time fan of Smash Bros too so this is like a dream come true. If Gray Fox does end up becoming a playable they should get Greg Eagles to do his voice work.
