Yep. You're right. It's just four stars. It was a joke statement btw. I wish it was true. lol I wonder if we'd even get to listen to some ST music, since it seems there will be a LOT of music to choose from.

If Mike is at least featured as a trophy, then one of the next potential steps I think would be a piece of music.
It would be really cool if, for every trophy, Brawl had a special theme played, but that would require, of course, a separate theme for 200+ likely trophies. This is, unless they use the same theme for each trophy from a particular series. In this case, Mario's theme would play for the probably 50 or whatever trophies he'd have, and if ST had 1 trophy, the ST theme could be composed just for that trophy. Though, that would seem like a waste of time, having a song composed to be heard in only one spot.
So my own version of climbing the SSB Brawl ladder for ST?
Sticker Trophy Assist Trophy (it says on the site there will be some only the most dedicated fans will recognize) Music Stage Playable Character
The countdown has started! 2 months to go...

It would be quite a waste of a character to not include Mike.
I know the guy Sakurai didn't include some characters cause it was just impossible to make up a good moveset, like Urban Champion for example.
But the case of Mike is the same as Link's. And not including him would really feel like a waste (specially if you get to see other non-fighting characters in before him).
Before a Mike Jones Assist Trophy, I would really like to listen to a Startropics medley.
Man... I dream on seeing the palmtree icon on that site every day... XD

Man... I dream on seeing the palmtree icon on that site every day... XD Why does that sound familiar?? Whenever I go to the SSBB English page, my eyes immediately focus in on the icon square in the upper left, looking out for a palm tree... ;D Then, of course, I check on what the update is. My heart fluttered when I saw Excitebike yesterday, thinking of how many NES tributes there will be on the game, and thinking one of those mystery numbered icons will have been revealed (needless to say, I was wrong on that last one).

The second BGM in this video makes me think of the obscure (but unique) Nintendo characters (including Michael Jones) trying to race toward the slowly-closing wormhole that leads to the world of Super Smash Bros., before it closes. Some probably made it in.
I have a feeling that not even a single mention of anyone or anything from the StarTropics series will be in SSBB. Why? Nintendo is a Japanese company, while the StarTropics series was only released in America and Europe, and didn't become very popular (which is why this forum doesn't have many members). However, Mike probably was one of the most requested obscure characters in Nintendo of America's and Nintendo of Europe's online forums (both now defunct), which Sakurai said he will check them out along with the Japanese poll. If no one or nothing from the StarTropics series doesn't appear in SSBB, and if neither StarTropics title doesn't become available for the Wii's Virtual Console, then I guess this means that the StarTropics series is D-E-A-D.
Perhaps the number of one-nation characters in SSBB will be equal to the number of 3RD-Party characters in SSBB.

SONIC!! SONIC!! YOWWWW! WOOT! WOOHOO!!!! ;D I nearly had a heart attack seeing the word "Sonic" on the page. The other people in the room thought I was having a panic attack or something. Nintendo, once again, has appeased it fans, and has shown it "gets it." I said it before, if Sonic wasn't in Brawl, it would've been the biggest mistake Nintendo could've made, b/c for pete's sake, he was the most requested character, and if they're gonna pair Sonic and Mario in the Olympics, how in the hell are you gonna tell me he couldn't be in Smash Bros? This is a great day! I have a feeling that not even a single mention of anyone or anything from the StarTropics series will be in SSBB. Why? Nintendo is a Japanese company, while the StarTropics series was only released in America and Europe, and didn't become very popular (which is why this forum doesn't have many members). However, Mike probably was one of the most requested obscure characters in Nintendo of America's and Nintendo of Europe's online forums (both now defunct), which Sakurai said he will check them out along with the Japanese poll. If no one or nothing from the StarTropics series doesn't appear in SSBB, and if neither StarTropics title doesn't become available for the Wii's Virtual Console, then I guess this means that the StarTropics series is D-E-A-D. My oh my this is the most depressing post I've ever read on this forum. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed today? You are being overly pessimistic. It has been discussed multiple times that even though Nintendo is a Japan-only company, they'd consider America only games, it's only logical that they do so, given America IS their biggest market, and that hasn't been just at this forum. Many fans here have been fans of ST since the mid 90's or earlier, and most of us have never expected any new games in the series to come out no matter what we did (me included). So in respect, any talk and any news ST-related IS GOOD. The fact that we have an established active forum (no matter how small somebody might consider it, or that 99% of online forums could be considered small compared to certain Nintendo forums) about ST, with a group of dedicated posters regularly chiming in, along with other fans on other forums (starman, i.e.) shows the game will not "DIE" anytime soon. Your comments, if I didn't know better and I'm beginning to think twice, seem to be reflecting some sort of ill will towards ST, and this isn't the first time I've thought this. I think you need to chill with the "SERIES IS D-E-A-D OMG!!!!11!!!" comments.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! SONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now all I REALLY need is Mike. PH, that's a terrible way to look at things. I know it's the worst case scenario... But we were promised some outside-japan characters as well.. And there's really not many to point at. Maybe Lark from Pilotwings, being the image of retro games in america. But Pilotwings has great ties with Startropics, due to the fact that it has a whole stage based on ST. ST could also be considered if Smash Bros creator ever comes close to Punch Out! I mean.. Sakurai and Takeda have GOT to have talked about the other of Takeda's creations while they were at it. And Mike Jones isn't some dude limited to punch left, punch right. Even though I adore the Punch OUt series. The only thing that gave me a bad feeling from the start was the fact that Y.Hirai was not among the composers.... oh well..

I want Mike Jones, even if it's just an Assist Trophy. If they have the Devil from Demon World, they can easily have Mike.

Today Sonic's special moves!! I knew it! At first I was like... WTF? 2 moves are the same thing... But now I realize that the Side B is kinda imitating Sonic's new gen signature move, the Homing Attack (only it's not really homing in Brawl) And there's the Spin Dash which works a lot faster than Jigglypuff's rollout. I still have mixed feelings for the Spring move... I think Sonic Heroes' Blue Tornado move could've been a better choice... but whatever. I'm looking forward to knowing what his Neutral B move is. Oh and Super Sonic was confirmed to be controllable. The bad news: Brawl has been rumored to be released on February 10th... -_- The good news: Mike's been given more time to get into an update in any shape or form. Go Mike! Hurry, hurry. Run, run Hurry, hurry. Run, run Hurry, hurry. Run, run Hurry, hurry. Run, run *You arrive exhausted, but you just made everyone in this forum happy*

Bad news is that it is CONFIRMED for February 10th instead of December 3rd. More time for the MOTHER 3 translation to be released... And for more news to come!

WHAT!? Where have you heard this? Holy hell... *EDIT* I found it on IGN... This is the umpteenth time it's been delayed. What's the reason now? If it's for more characters, I may understand, but for much else, I am totally unsupportive of this development. I've said it before, I truly believe if Nintendo delays SSBB too many times, it will be very detrimental to how the games sells or how popular it will be. This is especially so in that the game will now not be on shelves for XMAS, the best time for new games to be on the shelf in the first place! *EDIT* I am in agreement that this gives Mike more of a chance of being in there, since my idea is that this was most likely done to take full advantage of the online capabilities and add more stages/characters.

Latest Brawl, Flash News: NEW STAGE CONFIRMED: Norfair (Metroid) NEW ASSIST TROPHIES CONFIRMED: -Pixelized Tanks (Advance Wars) -Little Mac (Punch Out!) ... Whoo... boy... Little Mac just got Nintendowned. Little Mac, guys... A very deserving and unique character.... They turned him into a Knuckle Joe 2. I fear the worst for Mike now... Oh well... if he's at least an Assist Trophy... then joy. But there's also rumor that they still have ways to go with the showing of new characters...

Little Mac was confirmed? Only an Assist Trophy? D: Well, better than nothing. Also, different character costumes confirmed. It's not just colors. You can take Link and give him a red tunic and whatnot, but you can also change his exterior completely to give him a Dark Link look. Won't affect gameplay, you'll only look different, but that's still sweet!
