Super Smash Brothers Brawl
This is Jimothy.
This is the official thread for the Wii game Super Smash Bros. Brawl, debuting
December 3, 2007. Sakurai is working with all his might, so please wait just a little longer! Here is where you can discuss possibilities for characters, stages, items, etc. that may be included. We will also be discussing Sakurai's blogposts, updated every weekday on
smashbros.comPlease don't argue about casual play and tournament play. I think most people are tired of it. Go ahead and poke fun if you must.
Last year Sakurai allowed Japanese fans to send in character and music suggestions, as well as ask questions about the game. SamuraiPanda's translations of these letters and responses can be found here:

This is a precious item, indeed.
These characters have been confirmed as playable:
Mario
Link
Pikachu
Kirby
Samus*
Zero Suit Samus*
Pit
Meta Knight
Wario
Snake
Fox
Zelda
Bowser
Donkey Kong
Yoshi
Ike
* Samus will become Zero Suit Samus after using her final smash.
There are also several stages that you can battle on. You may find that they are some of your favorite game locations!
Battlefield
Delfino Plaza
Yoshi's Island
Lylat Cruise
Bridge of Eldin
Smashville
Shadow Moses
Mario Circuit
Angel Land
Halberd
Pokemon Stadium
Rumble Falls
Skyworld
Castle Siege
Items add a little more hectic feeling to the match. The Smash Ball is an item that unleashes the Final Smash, a very powerful move. Bowser's Final Smash, for instance, is the Giga Bowser Transformation.
Smash Ball
Gooey Bomb
Super Scope
Cracker Launcher
Pokeball
Crates and Barrels
Banana Peel
Assist Trophy
Bumper
Pitfall
Pokemon:
Groudon
Goldeen
Chikorita

What’s an Assist Trophy?! Basically, they’re guest characters separate from Smash’s playable roster! Take the capsule and hold it high!
Hammer Bro
Nintendog
Samurai Goroh
Dr. Wright
Knuckle Joe
Also, some pretty cool people are making music for this game:

There will be four methods of controlling the game (all with customizable button configurations), so choose your favorite:
Wii Remote (on its side)
Wii Remote + Nunchuk
Classic Controller
GameCube controller
This is dangerous. It's a little risky.
If you're wondering what I'm talking about, snoop around the site and check the information on the series icons. You'll find that they all have numbers attached to them. From this, we can gather that there are at least eighteen series represented in this game:
1.Smash Brothers
2. DK
3. StarFox
4. Kirby
5. F-Zero
6. Metroid
7. Earthbound/Mother
8.Pokemon
9.Zelda
10. Mario
11.Yoshi
12. Fire Emblem
13.
14.
15. Animal Crossing
16. Wario
17.
18. Kid Icarus
I will be updating the thread periodically, but if I can't make that happen, I apologize.
It's enough to make a guy cry at the end.

Just clarrifying....
And by 2D critical hit I don't mean Ike's, just the general style of the 2D game compared to the blandness of the GC game's animations.
did you ever watch the critical animation in path of radiance? they were sweet.
They're outclassed by everything since at least the SNES days.

I want this to happen. A catwalk stage with Under Pressure playing and David Bowie writing on his hand in the background. Please.
Unless they announe something even bigger.
I'm also guessing the update will come about 3:42.

Letr's see if I'm right.
I'm guessing the castle stage we've seen in the trailers that seems to be from Fire Emblem.
