The Death Egg zone with the stage music from Sonic & Knuckles along with the Doomsday Zone music would pwn. It would be interesting to see either the original MegaMan or Arcard(Alucard) from SOTN in the game.

I don't think Castevania's popular enough to get a character in Brawl. The old-school gamers know Alucard and Simon well, but the majority of Wii owners probably aren't retro gamers.

I'd prefer anything from Sonic 1-3/Knuckles, because they were the only good ones.

The new vid (not the Sonic one) is fine. The one with Sonic's arrival really made me drool/pee my pants. (my sister along with me, cuz I showed her the video. )

Wow. I'm not really surprised he's in. All the fan hype paid off.

Also, I approve of the theme in Sonic's vid. I hope they use that as his theme.

[Plissken]

Uh oh, possible US delay. Japan was delayed and now US date has changed to TBD...Damn.

[The Satellite]

That sucks.

Ah well. It's not like everybody will have a Wii by then, anyways.

[lucas92]

Darn delay date. They said that developement phase was almost finished yesterday and now they bring that delay date.

It sucks...

[Plissken]

Well, the brought the delay on Japan because they don't want it to release at the same time as Super Mario Galaxy. They haven't said anything for the US yet but they did change the date on dojo. It might have been a mistake or a reaction to the Japan delay. But it might be real.

[Zenith]

I can only hope it's not pushed back more...but hey, remember that TP was delayed a year. Anyone care? (silence) Didn't think so.

Can't believe I didn't see Sonic coming. And I sniped Ike a month before he was released. Ah well.

...Which makes me wonder if other characters in the series are in Brawl. Eggman or Shadow as Assist Trophies?

You can count on it.

I had been parading the "NO SONIC" thing for a while... guess I'll have to eat my words. Mmm... tastes like .

I don't see why you hate Sonic. It isn't like it is a bad thing for SSBB. You just don't have to pick him, and it is a bonus for us fans! I can say the same thing for Game and Watch. He really didn't have to be in SSBM, but he didn't make the game worse, he actually pleased some people. So Sonic is a Win Win, in my opinion.

[Mitchfork]

It's not that I hate him... it's just that all of the characters in past SSB's have been straight Nintendo, and I don't like seeing that tradition broken.

First, I'd like to say that Ebola claimed the 1000th post for this thread.

Agreed with all that's quoted.

Also, from what I've been hearing, the main complaint (whine, bawl, whatever) seems to be about Sonic's probable popularity and Wifi play. That and the idea that he might be a broken character (after some people said he was going to be weak as a fighter. ). The second sentence was said about Fox, too (although I have yet to see how he is broken).

So let me present reality to the naysayers: 1) Do you honestly think Nintendo will make a broken character and release it, not knowing about its brokenness? 2) Everything game-related is susceptible to the psychological case of boredom. Expanding on #2, we have all been bored of games before, right? The same OMGIT'SSOAWESOMEIWILLPLAYTHISGAMEFOREVERANDEVER game that you got after saving enough money to buy that "perfect game" (note, this is reflecting on my personal experience, when I first bought SMRPG). A few months later, "I'm booooooooooooooooooooooored." I've said the same thing after playing out Phantom Hourglass and Metroid Prime 3. It's an inevitable end. Now the point I'm trying to make: Will Sonic be used by everyone in Brawl's Wifi? Maybe at first (I won't. I prefer Ike. ). But sooner or later, all of the gamers will settle down with characters they control the best, and it will not necessarily be Sonic. Some people may be so suicidal with Sonic, they won't even dare to think about using him in Wifi. Heck, I'll no doubt be using Sonic (there hasn't been a Smash fighter I haven't used, trust me), but I will settle with someone. It might be Falco. It might be Ike. It might be Meta Knight. Heck, it might even be Pit.

[Shoelace]

I agree 100% with you Animus. But Ebola, Sonic didn't break the tradition. Snake did. I see your point but Snake should be the one that you should have been worried about. Since Snake was in SSBB, it broke the tradition and now the flood gates are opened for anyone to join. And since that gate was open, that is why we wanted Sonic so much. Because us people in our younger days talked about Sonic vs. Mario (That was your topic in the schoolyard). 16 years later, we are finally going to see it. That is why I am so excited.

[Mitchfork]

Also the first.

I see where you're coming from, Shoelace. I guess I got used to the fact that Snake was an inevitable occurence after I saw that first trailer. Sonic, on the other hand, I didn't think had a snowball's chance in hell of appearing. So naturally, when people brought it up, I shot it down, German flak gun style. I don't want too many third party characters in... I just hope there won't be any past this.
