I am now no longer sure what characters to expect. As far as I know, Captain Olimar was the last remaining "most requested" character for SSBB.

Here's hoping that Geno and Mallow will make secret character appearances.

So with the Pokemon Trainer . . . we'd have Pikmins vs. Pokemans.

I can dig it.

It's interesting to see that only two of Captain Olimar's special attacks seem to do actual damage. Although of course, the up attack may do some damage. I guess a lot of his strategy will be slowing sapping away other players' energy. But I would think that that might make it easy to steal KO's off of him. I guess we'll just have to wait a month and see.

They'll likely balance that out by making the Pikmin rather heinously powerful.

Likewise, I ran outside and screamed, "CAPTAIN OLIMAR IS IN BRAWL!!!!!!!!!!"

Just add WW Link and the Ouendan in some manner, and Brawl is officially the best game of the decade for me.

I agree to both of these comments. Sheik was completely awesome in the last game hope to see him again.

Hey, who were the people telling me that the Zelda in Brawl was based on Twilight Princess and therefore wouldn't transform into Shiek?

I'm too lazy to look it up. But for whoever told me that, all I have to say is...

Maybe they'll pull a Twilight Princess on it and delay it so far that it gets put on the next Nintendo system, the Moogly. :D

I originally didn't think Sheik would appear in the game, but when they showed that her move set didn't really seem to be more powerful than last game, I changed my mind.

I think he's going to be in Brawl, but I think they're going to keep it under wraps to surprise people.

Yes, take them by surprise when their back is turned with a repeat stock character.

They'll never know what hit them.

Not sure if this has been taken up previously in this thread. However DK Junior *Diddy* seems to be a character, at least if I got this commercial right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKYL1_yl0Ro

I also see Ike and Lucas.

I've been amazed at how many people honestly seem to think that since he hasn't appeared so far he might not be in the game.

Okay. Confession time.

I think Nintendo is going a little overboard here; the game is shaping up to be needlessly complicated, half a dozen game modes and functions. I'm sure it'll still be excellent fun, but sheesh people.

I've always been a big fan of KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid.

I also don't like the concept of unlockable content being based on luck, sorry. This sticker thing is also way too out there for me.
