Super Smash Bros. Brawl (spoilers inside!)

[Blademaster]

And Blade, Sonic Battle=Sonic fighting game=Sonic being my Ace in that=Gonna be my ace for Brawl=PWNS DA BLADEZZ :O!!

1. I've never heard of Sonic Battle. Is the blue blur's legacy so shitty that even his good games go unnoticed anymore? Or did Sonic Battle suck as well and you're one of the chosen few who liked it?

2. If you think I'm scared of Sonic, I have a certain orange-armored bounty huntress for him that I bet he'd just love to meet.

...So... Brawl's been pushed back another two months. ...Why? That's what I wanna know. Haven't they crammed enough into this game already? Or are they trying to build suspense (I call it irritation by this point...) by sneaking in one final surprise that nobody's expecting?

Maybe it's not so much cramming stuff in there as optimizing the game. The public hasn't been aloud to play the game once yet and online was just recently 100% confirmed so they might need the extra time for frame rate or lag issues or any other number of bugs.

Sonic is an awesome inclusion, whether you love him or hate him, since if you hate him, you can kick his ass! Personally, I love Sonic and thus am literally salivating at the prospect of spin-dashing the hell out of Mario.

Hopefully, the delay means they're only sticking in lots more cool stuff for us to play with. A confirmed character list would be nice - since clearly they already know who they're going to include, but I am already predicting who is going to make a comeback...

Out of the original 12, I reckon the only character who might get the chop is Ness, considering that Lucas will probably be a clone of him, but I reckon Ness will be put in the final product. As for Luigi...I really do hope he is more than a Mario clone this time. Possibly something based off Luigi's Mansion.

Out of the expanded 25, I reckon that Young Link, Dr Mario, Mr Game & Watch, Pichu, Marth and Roy all face the chop.

I'd also like to know whether Falco and Ganondorf will make a reappearance, and if they have unique movesets this time, instead of just being clones of other characters. Ganondorf transforming into Ganon as a final smash would be pretty sweet.

There were rumours that cel-shaded Link were going to make an appearance. I hope that this is definitely not the case. Speaking of Link, I wonder if he can transform into a wolf, since they're using the Twilight Princess model of Link. Also, if Zelda is based on the Twilight Princess model, chances could be that she has lost the power to transform in Sheik...of course, only time can tell.

Possible new characters are Zant and Midna, although probably very unlikely. Midna with the fused shadow transformation as a final smash though - very appealing.

Now Bowser Jr. has had more appearances in the recent Mario games, it could be the case that the son of King Koopa himself could possibly make an appearance. While I am not the little git's biggest fan, a smaller, faster Bowser could be an interesting addition.

Of course, I think everyone knows I'm waiting for Waluigi to be included, although this is incredibly unlikely. Sakurai, if you're reading this...PLEASE PUT WALUIGI IN.

Otherwise, I have no other real speculations. I doubt they'll include any more new playable Pokemon. I'd like to see Banjo-Kazooie, but since they're owned by Microsoft now, that'll be very unlikely. Plus, they seem to have dropped off the radar for the meantime anyway...sniff.

That's all the speculation I have. I eagerly await new challengers on the website, although after Sonic, I reckon there will be a news-drought of sorts.

Oh, it's on now.
