That was a special deal for that game, Mobius One. I'm pretty sure you aren't going to see Transformers or Barbie in SSBB because they aren't videogame characters.

You think there will be an english page? Or could someone translate the japanese one?

I'm sure there will be an English page up in the future. Unless you suddenly decide on learning and typing something in Japanese to submit. But I ran the page through Excite and basically it breaks it into 3 categories you can submit ideas for and those are characters, music, and I'm guessing items, levels, etc. as the other category. Then it asks you for details and you can type up to 1000 characters and for Japanese that is a lot of information that could be submitted so that's pretty awesome. Oh and the first field asks for your nickname or online handle I'm guessing. Just check it out yourself.

It seems he might publish ideas editted if need be on his smash bros website which is pretty cool. I really hope an English version of this is made and they hire some smart guy to look through them and send the best submissions to Sakurai.

Most amazing jew boots

Eh, he's Wario; it's expected. I loved how his ass became a plasma cannon before it finally went off though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I hope it has Megaman or Megaman X and Zero, Pacman, Bomberman, Master Higgins, Simon Belmont, Alucard, Sonic, Tails, Rayman, Viewtiful Joe, and Alex from River City Ransom (I can dream). I think my list is fairly realistic as these are fairly traditional characters. Square has been in good relations with Nintendo again so I don't see it improbable to have Crono or Cloud, Vincent, and Sephiroth. You win even if you hate FF7 because you'd get to beat the crap out of those characters. It would even seem possible to have The Prince roll a giant katamari by as an environmental kind of like the Nintendog. However, I don't think you're going to see characters like Kratos or The Prince of Persia.

God Pacman's super power could be hilarious. Turn everyone blue and eat them. Waka. Waka. Waka. ='D


Okay since you guys have been asking I decided to upload the high quality trailer and to two different locations just in case.

Enjoy! =D

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Uh maybe it is in Austrailia, but no, Castlevania is very successful everywhere else. At least when it's in 2D. What are you on, Grubdog?

Also, if there are a lot of 3rd party characters then Kirby is going to be ridiculously hilarious. ='D

Just think about it already with Snake Kirby. Pink puffball with a mullet and bandana. Now do that with Sonic and anyone else in my list. Oh man!

How ya doing, buddy?

Grub, PacMan could throw fruit like like Mr. Game & Watch throws bacon. He could roll around. Perhaps he could use the ghosts somehow like a shield or have them quickly spin around him. Dunno. But his special would be hilarious. Imagine a giant pacman just eating the entire screen full of flashing characters.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh goodness Goemon would be fantastic. I can't believe I forgot about him. His entire crew would work in really well.

NiGHTS would be an excellent Sega character as well.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Got any pics of Fox? I'm hoping he will look a lot better than he did in SF Assault

The only characters shown were Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu, Meta Knight, Pit, Samus, Zero Suit Samus, Wario, and Snake. But if the jump in quality for these characters is any indication you can feel at ease that Fox whose Melee model is still the best Fox model despite two newer Starfox games after will be even better.

I'm about 50% done uploading the 60fps high quality trailer. Expect two sources in about 30 minutes. =)

FELIPE NO

C'mon. It's Wario. Besides, that's probably just his super move.

Expect a full list of awesome moves from his games. He's going to be a great character. No doubt about it.

I'm really glad they used his Wario Ware model. The biker outfit is really cool. =)

How ya doing, buddy?

Dude, it's one move. Probably his super move. Get over it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Waluigi would be awesome purely because of his character design being so lanky offers a lot of interesting potential for fighting. I would love to see him in the game.


Okay guys, I'm done uploading. Here it is. 60 fps high quality trailer. This game is going to look and play incredible. HD era can bite me. 480p is obviously enough.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Probably because 1080 and Wave Race characters don't lend themselves to this kind of game as well as them, Rab. =/

But hey, you never know. It could happen.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Literally, eh?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

You aren't going to see Sly or Ratchet and Clank or Jak and Daxter because those are exclusive series to Sony. You also won't be seeing Ico or Wanda although I'd fucking love an Ico Kirby. Crash Bandicoot and Spyro are possible but since they aren't really that popular I don't see them making the list. At least they are definitely not very high on it.

No. You won't be seeing any Rare characters except those created by Rare for Nintendo franchises which Nintendo now owns. Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Krystal - yes. Banjo, Kazooie, Conker, Joanna Dark, Kameo - no.

And holy shit if I see someone mention Master Chief again they're getting banned from the thread for complete idiocy.

Guys, stop recommending tv and anime characters seriously. It's fucking retarded.

Also, you have to think hard. These characters have to be traditional videogame characters in order to work. I think the darkest you could get in that regard would be Simon Belmont or Alucard. Anything beyond that like Pyramid Head is ridiculous.


Here's an acceptable list of 3rd party characters: Megaman, Megaman X, Zero, Viewtiful Joe, Bomberman, Master Higgins, Simon Belmont, Alucard, Goemon, Ebisu, Sonic, Tails, NiGHTS, PacMan, Klonoa, Rayman, Bub and Bob

Slightly acceptable list of 3rd party characters: Crono, Cloud, Vincent, Sephiroth, Sora, Billy and Jimmy from Double Dragon, Alex from River City Ransom, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon

I was speaking idiomatically.

Er... don't get ahead of yourself, dude. The only character announced is Snake, but yeah those companies are likely candidates to have their characters in the game.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I think the reason the DS has friend codes is because of the limitations of the system. As it stands you can't even tell if your friends are online to play against in that thing unless you call them up on the phone, designate a time, or contact them by some means on the Internet. You can't even trade friend codes in-game. So far the closest thing to that is rivals in Hunters and that still isn't cutting it. Maybe it's not that the system can't go and talk to the server and see who is online and maybe it's Nintendo making lazy software. It could be a combination of both. I imagine that it is both because it seems their wifi service keeps getting better as time goes along. The new Tony Hawk game for DS will allow you to do voice chat while you play instead of in between games like Hunters so things must be improving.

Best case scenario: Nintendo sets up one friend code with your system that you can give out to people or trade in-game and when you decide to connect to the Nintendo Wifi Connection it will show you who in your friends list is online and allow you to talk to them and setup a game and/or if you insert a disc it'll show who is online in your friend list that is playing that game and of course it will only show who is online for your list which makes it much easier for selecting who you want to play with.

Worst case scenario: Individual friend codes for every game just like DS and you can't see who is online ever and you can't trade friend codes in-game.

If Nintendo isn't an idiot they'll figure out which is the better choice.


And who the hell is Ken?

FELIPE NO

Nope. We know nothing on how Wii's online system will work aside that friend codes will be involved. As I've stated Nintendo Wifi Connection and software that connects to it is constantly evolving as new software is released. We do not yet know how the friend code system will fall into the overall equation. The DS games have tested the waters and I'm sure Nintendo knows what we like and dislike about about how that works. I'm hopeful that the complaints will be addressed.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Another thing. Sakurai wants this game to be fun, full of options, and perfect. He isn't going to let SSBB have a sloppy online mode. If he feels the friend code system is sloppy then you can bet Nintendo will accomidate him. Nintendo has so much riding on this game. They can't afford not to.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, you'll still be able to play with random people. So even if you don't know them just like Mario Kart DS you'll at least always have someone to play. That's speculation by the way but if Mario Kart DS and Metroid Prime Hunters did it I wouldn't be surprised if SSBB did too. I just hope it's much more extensive.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well it won't be out until sometime in 2007, hopefully early 2007, so I hope the online system will have evolved to an acceptable level by then.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh man he'd be unbeatable. No matter what you do there he's be floating around laughing. Laughing at YOU!

YES!! It would freaking awesome if he was a boss in Starfox DS as well. ='D

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

We wouldn't yell third party. We'd yell stop recommending non-videogame characters. But since you aren't serious I guess it's okay.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Wow, you guys are dumb. In Kirby Super Star Kirby could get the cook ability from eating Chef Kawasaki. In a similar fashion you'd get it from Cookin' in the ability's return eight years later in Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. In both games you are rewarded by the one-time-only move by being able to suck all on-screen enemies into a hot cauldron, stir them around for a bit, and then turn them into food for Kirby to feast upon.



So no, of all Square-Enix characters you will not be seeing Quina in the game. Get real. =/

Cook ability is his "super" move. New feature for Brawl. I hope it puts more than one person in the stew. =)

Kirby has a copy ability for every character in the game. That means you'll be seeing Kirby with a mullet and a bandana when he copies Snake. Hopefully he'll get Snake's box move. ='D

FELIPE NO

Yeah, however my thoughts are that Snake's shield will be he quickly gets into the box, and whenever he does a shield shuffle left or right it'll be the box shuffling really quickly left or right. In that case I don't think it would be too hard to add that small little detail to Kirby's Snake ability. It's just a shield afterall.

However, the box may also end up becoming an item in the game so no matter.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Besides, most people would rather have Geno or Crono if there were to be any Square characters in the game.

How ya doing, buddy?
