Thats taken out of context, they were talking about Trophies.
They were, but Sakurai uses playable characters from WW and TP as an example of borrowing assets from other games. Theoretically it's possible to interpret it as trophies but it doesn't really make sense.
He never says Playable in any way in his response to a question about Trophies. Characters does not mean playable, it could refer to static models of said characters like the Wind Waker Tingle trophy. The entire section was about trophies and stickers.
I wouldn't call a trophy a "Smash Bros character," would you? And it's awfully coincidental that he singled out Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, one of which has playable characters and the other is very heavily rumored to.
The context is confusing, but the actual quote itself sounds pretty clear.
I hope to god that WW Link is not a clone. There is so much potential for him to have awesome moves.
But I also feel that anyone who is expecting a completely different character is kidding themselvs.
People are saying Dedede, Bowser, and Wario are being brainwashed/tricked into doing this, which makes my idea of you being able to select ANYONE for the final level/boss idea more and more plausible
Waitwaitwait.
DEDEDE? When did this happpen?
Linky Linky.
Well, I assume Dedede, based on the fact he's an asshole. He's usually more of a misunderstood hero a la Kirby's Dreamland 3 with preemptively breaking up the Star Rod to avoid Nightmare from controlling it, though.
Most probably, Metaknight is the Kirby villain
Aha, that fills in a missing link. So here's the plot of the start of SSE, as far as we know:
Mario and Kirby fight in the stadium for fun as Zelda and Peach watch. At the end of the fight, the subspace guys arrive and a squad of ROBs set a bomb. Mario tries to stop them, but gets blown into the stratosphere. Making matters worse, the princesses get captured by Petey Piranha. Kirby manages to free one, but Wario shows up, trophies the other with a big gun, and (presumably) escapes. Kirby and the remaining princess have to fight their way through a mob of subspace guys to barely escape before the bomb blows. Soaring through the sky, they see Fox in his arwing get shot down by the Halberd. The two land on the ship, fighting their way toward... what?
Pit watches all this from above, grabs his bow from Palutena and flies off to help. He meets up with Mario in the clouds as he comes to, and the two fight their way toward....?
Meanwhile, a bunch of Koopas and Goombas make the mistake of their lives and steal a bunch of bananas from the Kong's jungle. Royally pissed, Donkey and Diddy make turtle and mushroom gumbo out of the crowd until Bowser shows up with another big gun. Donkey, knowing they're outmatched, quickly punches Diddy away moments before Bowser trophyizes him. Diddy lands, followed soon by Fox's crash-landing near a pond. Suddenly, Rayquaza emerges to fight them.
Also, Pikachu teams up with Samus, Yoshi teams up with Link and Metaknight teams up with the Ice Climbers for some reason.
Goddamn, this reads like fanfiction. This whole damn game is fanfiction. In a good way.
He's only coy if there's a chance he's wrong(HE didn't get the info) or he's making stuff up to get people excited.
Which was it in the case of the PBR special codes for magmortar and electivire? I remember him showing the screens of the unlocks and being like "lol tell you guys how to do it later, suckers, but here's a hint: you will never figure it out".
More than likely? He hadn't heard it yet.
My theory is that a friend unlocked it and he hadn't gotten the code for it yet. But seeing as how he only ever plays coy with stuff he doesn't have immediate info on, (he updates new info on games almost as soon as he gets it) I really don't trust him.
So either HIS source(i.e the person he's stealing it from) is being coy, or he has no actual info.
It seems like knowing whether he's being coy or just hasn't heard more from his sources is impossible, and you just say he knows nothing because you hates him so hard.
There's always the possibility that he actually knows things AND he's a dick.
This would mean it's not confirmed, then.
Well, nothing's confirmed, but why would him being a dick make it less plausible? Has he been flat-out wrong before, or just a dick with the info? Having access to insider information could make less savory types want to lord it over everyone else, after all.
Actually yes.
He passed off fake pokemon as "Confirmed", then claimed it was an April Fools joke.
Neither the reveal, nor the "joke" were in April.
didn't I hear you say he did some year-long charade and spun it as an april fool's?
Yep.
I'm not POSITIVE, so this parts just "I think, I heard, etc" but I've heard that the creator stepped up first, and said they were fake before Serebii Joe said anything.

Assuming Luigi is pretty different from Mario this time around, I expect atleast a Mario/Luigi difference between Link and WW Link.
Holy shit the story mode of this looks like the biggest, greatest fanwank ever.
Please have a villain for every series. Don't just let this be Bowser, Metaknight and Wario. I need Ridley, Wolf, K. Rool and most importantly Robotnik to be involved in the evil plot, even if they're NPCs. Especially Robotnik. Robotnik + Bowser vs Sonic + Mario = Childhood Dreams come true.

Ridley is most likely in as a boss at the very least -- hell, we've got his music.
A couple of the leaks focused on by the Smashboards crowd say Robotnik (Eggman has always been a dumb name) is a boss as well.
And if the 35-ish character leaks are to be believed, Wolf is in the game. Not to mention DeDeDe. So thar ya go.

fixed ?
Marx was more of a oneshot guy. Meta's more of an antihero, as almost every time he fights Kirby he has more noble intentions behind his actions (Helping Dedede protect the Star Rod, prevent Kirby from accidentally awakening some great evil, etc.) with the exception of Revenge of Metaknight, where the justification of his actions was to end Popstar's laziness or some such silliness.
Dark Matter's probably the most recurring villain, being in both Kirby's Dream Land 2 and 3 (02 from Kirby 64, while having a different name, bears a close resemblence to Dark Matter's second form in KDL3, too). Nightmare from Kirby's Adventure might have a shot, too, as it had a remake for the GBA and Nightmare was the main villain of the Kirby Anime.

I hope Wolf is like ganondorf to Falcon, where he's a big slow guy.
Also, when the hell are we getting the Everybody's Nintendo channel.
So, I would definitely be disappointed if we don't see Eggman in SSE.
Can you imagine Link riding Yoshi into battle in a cutscene?
I'm imagining it..and its glorious
Link should be about to ride into battle and play Epona's song on his ocarina or that thing he used in TP and Yoshi should show up instead. Confusion follows.

I just noticed that in that one video you see Diddy and Fox dodge a shot from one of the trophy guns. So some villain shows up and tries to capture them after they fight Rayquaza.
I was just looking at Wiki's WarioWare character list. I wanted Kat and Ana before, but Ashley and Red would be great. Sort of like Ice Climbers, only Red turns into a wand for some attacks.
Really though, 9-Volt needs to be in the game. He'd be like the rookie that's so amazed and honored to be competing with all these stars. He has a hoverboard that could function like Wario's motorcycle, he could use the NES Zapper, other moves based on old games, a Final Smash involving 18-Volt, etc.
He's the spokesperson for Nintendo nostalgia, he'd be perfect for Smash.
Also, Pyoro should be an Assist.
One last thought, Crygor and Mike as a boss. Make it happen Sakurai.
One other last thought, I've said it before, but the Metal Box turning Sonic into Metal Sonic would be the best thing ever. It's exactly the kind of joke that would work in a noncanon game like this.
Or at least replace the "Metal Bros." boss from the last game with Metal Mario and Metal Sonic.
Sigh.. I'm also considering importing, being in the UK.
But then again, the PAL version of Melee features many bugfixes and character edits that aren't in the Japanese or US versions, and (while I've never played non-PAL melee to know this), supposedly is the best version. If they do the same with Brawl I'll be glad of the wait. But then again, I think I'm gonna implode if I don't get this game right away.
But then again, Rock band is just around the corner over here and can distract.. grr..
Or how about Super Smash Bros. DS? I'd much rather have that - if they can make a smash for N64 they can easily make one for DS, or port over the 64 bit version, with Wifi please!

It looks like Diddy gets his ass saved by two different smashers in the span of 5 minutes.

That is what Zelda needs to be revived into a fresh franchise! YES!

They did that to the first batch on purpose, to prevent leaks.

Also 128 blocks for the game save.
Havok is a commonly used physics engine. Sora Ltd. is Sakurai's company.
OMG!! KINGDOM HEARTS CONFI--- oh wait, no.
Sora is the name of Sakurai's development team, and Havok is the physics engine.
I'll smile if, january 30th at 11:59, a patch goes out to fix this.
With a note "Next time, wait."
So, Kingdom hearts and Cyclops' little brother confirmed
Yes who cares about people with no internet connection.
Smash Tactics.
I'd play the SHIT out of a game like that.
Any smash DS needs to be sprite-based.
