Hello, my name is Arcibi and I'll be taking over this OP

Sonic the fucking Hedgehog is in the game! You knew that already but its still damn exciting!

Sonic the Hedgehog Joins the Brawl!
Nintendo Conference Fall 2007 Movie
There was an announcement at this conference that Sonic the Hedgehog has joined the fray. I’d like to provide you with the short movie that was shown there.
There’s still a little more development to be done... I’m hoping to complete it without incident.
FUN FACT
The second video hints at so many things. Future pokemon, new character moves, a new stage, and maybe a new item.
TheSonicRetard provides some great insight on the Sonic model:
Also, the game has been delayed until February 10, 2008. (Lots of swearing)
On the plus side we have a ton of new gameplay videos:
Mario VS Samus, Sonic VS Link, 4-Player (Meta, Mario, Peach, Diddy), Stage Select Menu, and Various IGN videos. Combination of the first two videos with added footage here.
Super Smash Bros Brawl Hands-on Impressions:
1up.com, IGN.com, and GameSpot
Observations of many new game elements from various posters and sources:

Latest Update - King Dedede
The self-proclaimed king of Dream Land formally joins the brawl! Mechanizing his wooden mallet, he delivers a mighty, earth-shaking blow!
He joins as a member of the heavyweight class alongside Bowser and Donkey Kong. Can he defeat Kirby?!

TheSonicRetard provides some great insight on the Sonic model:
TheSonicRetard wrote: »This is a very composite sonic the hedgehog. Parts of him have been drawn from Sonic 1, Sonic CD, Sonic Adventure, Sonic the Fighters, and even the recent sonic 360.
Pretty awesome of them to make a truly timeless sonic model.
Improvolone wrote: »So this Sonic is a composite of other Sonics, eh?
Mind pointing out what is from where?
TheSonicRetard wrote: »Well...
his straight up model looks like it was taken from Sonic and the Secret rings, which is an adaptation of the Sonic Heroes model. His running animation uses the super peelout motions from sonic cd. his skidding and jumping sound effects range somewhere between sonic 1 and sonic 2. his fighting stance is from sonic the fighters, as are his punching and kicking animations. his spring bouncing noise is from sonic adventure, as is his spindash noise. his breakdancing move is from sonic 360. his ledge animation are from sonic 1 and sonic CD.
I'd say that's a pretty rounded list of characteristics that spans his entire career.
Also, the game has been delayed until February 10, 2008. (Lots of swearing)

New Toys:
Crates and Barrels: What better to start with than basics. These item containers have been revamped to support the themes of certain levels.
Assist Trophy: This is the Pokeball of the Nintendo Universe. Any kind of cameo you could think of comes from within...
Known Assist trophies:
Known Pokemon:
Cracker Launcher: This projectile launcher isn't as racist as it sounds. It might be more recognizable as a 'Roman Candle'. We saw it briefly in the short clip from Min-E3.
Banana Peel: Because Cliche's work.
Bumper: A return from the 64, relatable to Melee's Flipper item. A new twist leaves this possible to plant mid-air.
Pitfall: The item from Animal Crossing. Surprisingly, it caries its ability from Animal Crossing over very well. Simply making characters fall thru holes or thru platforms.
Smoke Ball: An original item, soley based on obscurity. This item deals no damage, but rather actually just blinds the player from the screen.
Franklin Badge: Debuting from the Mother Series (Earthbound), this relates to Fox's Reflector, like the Screw Attack Ball relates to Samus' Screw Attack. Basically, it reflects projectiles.
Spicy Curry: When a Fire Flower just can't suit your flaming needs.
Golden Hammer: A coat of paint works wonders.
Assist Trophy: This is the Pokeball of the Nintendo Universe. Any kind of cameo you could think of comes from within...

Series Represented:
So far, we've been given a list of series that have been represented, but as we get this list, its come to us out of order. We currently have gaps as shown:
1. Smash Brothers
2. Donkey Kong
3. StarFox
4. Kirby
5. F-Zero
6. Metroid
7. EarthBound/Mother
8. Pokemon
9. Zelda
10. Mario

12. Fire Emblem
13. ???
14. Ice Climbers
15. Animal Crossing
16. Wario
17. Metal Gear
18. Kid Icarus
19. ???
20. Sonic the Hedgehog
21. Nintendo DS
*21 Is the highest number we're aware of, it in no way indicates that it is the final number
Another Interesting Fact: By smash tradition, there has never been a stage from a game without a character from that series representing this. That and an interview on the subject lead many to believe that an Animal Crossing character is all but confirmed.
However the Pictochat stage has thrown a monkey wrench into this theory! This is because Sakurai is insane.

Discussion (Read: Bitchings)
These are some things to expect in regards to the updates. The type of updated listed, and the expected discussion that can follow.
Music update - Next day spent argueing about MIDI files vs Orchestrated.
Item update - Someone inevitably pisses off the competitve players with the "Why no items" arguement. Other than that, everyone is generally happy.
B Moves update - People are generally meh about this towards returning characters, pretty happy about it towards new characters.
Final Smash update - 1 of 2 updates that have universal appeal. Except Diddy apparently.
New/Old Character update - Pretty cool to see old characters revamped. Pretty awesome to see brand new characters.
Stage update - Next day spent arguing about gimmick levels vs. Battlefield/Final Destination.
Tutorial update - Boring tutorials, but spectacular mode discussions.
Movie update - Dicks cumming, all of them, simultaneously, with super mushroom power-ups.

Smash Brothers Community Terminology, Parts 1 and 2
Brought to you by Chopper Dave. Very thorough look at advanced Smash terms.
About that:
Part 1
Here is something that could be seen as Part 3 of the Smash Bros Terminology. It goes over common misconceptions about tournament players and seeks to help end the SmashBoards versus casual play arguments which always seem to pop up in these threads. Everyone should take a look at these discussions:
More talk about the competitive community by Chopper Dave
Joshua368 who is also a member of SmashBoards tries to straighten things out
Customizable signatures that display user names and friend codes.
And last but not least, here is something that mntorankusu and Geod have been working on.
About that:
And here is what they look like:

Anyway, here is hoping for a new character tonight.
DK Rap
Euro Trance Mix
Definitely.
They need Bowser's Castle from Paper Mario as a stage.
This must happen.

I'm invoking a new rule.

I needs to kick some Shabutie booty ;P.
Even if you're like me and just slide the words "blue dot" into a real post because it's more fun that way?
It reminds me of that one cutscene in Twilight Princess.
I don't think I ever made one of those type of posts so,
Screw you Rehab? Does that work?
Oh god, it took me a moment to remember what you were talking about. That was terrifying.
an F-zero racecar would make an excellent assist trophy, sailing across the stage. Probably won't happen due to the massive likelihood of an F-zero themed stage, but it would still be interesting.
Get twice as much Tail!
I still think something related to Trauma Center will be announced tonight.
Not likely, but possible.
Ah, I see.
They really seem to be going all out with that feature.
Speaking of alt outfits. Was Mario's Wario color scheme changed to Fire Mario or was I just seeing things?
I think I heard that both those costumes are in.
Dr. Wright has been the biggest suprise for me so far.
Probably for everyone. I don't think that anyone had seen that coming.
