The entire game basically got leaked. So far no StarTropics playable characters. Basically there's so much new info that I can't contain it all into the first post anymore!

Sorry everyone... Apparently the final character unlocked was Wolf... -_- And a message saying "you can now play as all characters, the true battle begins now" appeared afterwards... Hate to say it... but Smash Bros. Brawl might not be the place to see our Mike kicking butt again. The roster was a big let down to the majority... And there's been no sign of Mike being an Assist Trophy either... We can at least keep our fingers crossed for him to achieve the 2nd best way to represent ST.. and that some music gets in as well.

Wolf from Star Wolf squad from the Star Fox 64. I got this info from Nsider 2... The roster is unfortunatley complete... There is however one newcomer who you'll hate at first, but will surely remind you of one of Mike's partners during his whole journey. I'm planning on maining that character cause it's the closest thing to a Startropics representative at this point. I'm trying to keep this spoiler free though.

Sounds to me like *CENSORED* Oop, sorry, apparently, the forum won't let me reveal who it is either... But, I'm certain who it must be, if what you say is true shinigami...

I got this info from Nsider 2... The roster is unfortunatley complete... Here's another question I just thought of. How are we sure this is the AMERICAN roster? According to sources, IIRC, the character list for the American and Japanese games will be different, supposedly. No, I'm not saying Mike's chances are any better, but it was just a thought...

There's always that little glimpse of hope.

That would be great although if it's true then it would be kind of weird facing someone online who is using a secret character you can't use...

I'm planning on maining that character cause it's the closest thing to a Startropics representative at this point. I'm trying to keep this spoiler free though. True. StarTropics 1 was the first Nintendo title to feature a cameo appearance of R.O.B., known as Navigational Computer (Nav-Com). I believe that StarTropics isn't represented in SSBB (excluding the NES Chronicle list), because Nintendo of Japan doesn't care about Nintendo titles not released in Japan. I also believe that no matter how many very good Mike requests you send to Sakurai (if the poll was open), Sakurai will never add him. Look at Geno, a bunch of requests for him didn't make him playable. Despite being a Mario character, Geno is 3RD-Party, due to the M&L: Superstar Saga credits saying that Geno belongs to Square-Enix. Also, look at Krystal and Takamaru, they were also two of the most-wanted characters for SSBB, but neither of them became playable. It's so sick to see a bunch of clones after Sakurai said he will not create clones for SSBB. On the bright side, I interested in the Assist Trophies, music choices, stickers and regular Trophies.

I guess selling is all that matters to Nintendo. They sure did one heck of a job hyping the game. So Sakurai couldn't think up moves for Little Mac, but he could think one for Wolf? And a decloned one for Falco? I know who should be in charge of the next Smash Bros. GENYO TAKEDA. Hands down.

I heard that the Kid Icarus stage in SSBB doesn't include a single song from "Kid Icarus: Of Myths & Monsters" for the original Game Boy, most likely because Nintendo of Japan doesn't care much about Nintendo titles released outside of Japan. Gumshoe, Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge (sequel to Battle Clash), Nester's Funky Bowling, Tin Star, Uniracers (Unirally in Europe), Geist (was going to be released in Japan, but then got cancelled) and other Nintendo titles not released in Japan are also very unlikely to be represented in SSBB other than being listed in the Chronicle lists.
I believe the reason why Little Mac became an Assist Trophy instead of a playable character is that I heard that grabbing and throwing opponents in boxing is illegal. The SNES boxer (who shinigamihedgehog referred to him as "Super Mac") from the SNES Super Punch-Out!! has more potential. For example, the SNES boxer can do a Knockout Punch, a Rapid Punch, a Counterpunch and a Power Up (which increases his speed and attack power). He also has a better winning taunt than Little Mac. If Kirby copied the SNES boxer, it would be easier to tell who he is imitating than if Kirby copied Little Mac, because Little Mac's hair is just plain, round, black hair, while the SNES boxer's hair is blonde with just a couple of cow licks. Several people like Little Mac more than the SNES boxer, because they often picture him as "Super Saiyan Brian Peppers", which that's bull crap.

Well, boxers "Clinche" instead of actually grabbing. The clinche would be a grab that resembles a hug, usually seen as a cowardly move and often used to gettin gout of difficult situations. As for throwing, they could always use the pounding away, instead of actual throwing. Pushing away is legal I believe. Or Mac's grab could make it look like his opponent is grabbing HIM instead (like Snake has that slit-throat maneuver).... But I guess it's no use going over spilt milk... Anyways, I had an idea for a new "Smash name". I mean, until now my name's always been ECHI. (No real reason, I just thought it sounded kinda catchy.. Ecchi). But since I'm in need of some ST representation in Brawl, I've decided to use a Startropics-themed name. The names are supposed to be 4-letter long (though I once heard they increased the max number...) So I thought of a few names to use... - SubC - 747 - COLA - Mike (duh, it's even a default name) - Nova - Yoyo - Star - Zoda - Bell (for Captain Bell) - Dr.J -NavC -nCOM What do you guys think? I personally like "747", "SubC" and "Dr.J"

Zoda, if I don't grab that one first... I would do Coralcola if I could, but if it's 4 or 5 max, something like Zoda, SubC, STMJ or the sort would be what I'd go with...

Guys...this could be big! This site has dug up a rumor about a SSBB WiiWare channel that will allow for added content downloads such as characters and maps that aren't already in the original release of the game! If this is true...there's still a big possibility that Mike still has a chance! www.nintendic.com/news/1825

What??? And miss the chance of making SSB 4 by adding only 10 more Clones and 5 Landmasters? No thanks. This would be awesome if true.. But in my mind this is more like waiting for a micarle to happen.
