Look at the right corner. We already know how Bald Bull* looks, so it must be Soda. The guy in downright is most likely Mr. Sandman.
The right corner guy looks like he could easily be Ryan to me. I see no indication of Sandman. In any case that's a terrible picture to try to gain anything from (it's not just all blurry and artifacted on my end, is it?).

Except that the dude is clearly bald, something that Ryan certainly isn't. Furthermore, he has different pants (Ryan's pants are green, red, blue, while this dude's pants are gray). But yeah, picture is horribly blurry. It is from Gamestop email ad, which was in quite small resolution.

I'm going to have to raise my hand and dispute this. We still don't know for sure it's Aran Ryan, all we have to go on are a few seconds of some boxer who might vaguely look like Aran Ryan if you squint real hard and ignore the mustache. He could very well be a new boxer. Also, where did Super Macho Man come from?
As a survivor of years of "dude, this guy is totally in Smash Bros. Brawl!", I know it pays to be skeptical. :P

He has clover on his pants (can be seen for very short while), he does Ryan's trademark rush, and does it with grunt sample that seems to be directly lifted from Super Punch Out. Not to mention that this dude uses colours typically associated with irish.
ESRB rating says that one of the boxers flexes his pectoral muscles as a taunt. Which has always been Super Macho-Man's signature, even during his arcade day.

I'm glad that is over. I'm still bummed that out of all the Smash Bros rumors, Mega Man never made his appearance in the game.

While that's pretty strong evidence that both of them are in, that's a far cry from "confirmed." The developers could very well have made a brand-new Irish boxer. "Confirmed" means we hear either directly or indirectly from the developers themselves that they're in.

Aren't you picky today? :P Designers have clearly stated that there is only one new boxer in basic roster.
And what's Ryan's schtick? I'd figure from the name he'd bee some big blonde-haired blue-eyes stereotypical german, but he's looking pretty drat normal in that shot.

Is a boxer not entitled to the gloves on his hands?

Nah, just in a line of work where I have to confirm facts. So I'm regularly dealing with what's "confirmed" and what isn't.

Ryan doesn't have schtick outside being irish and being bullied at elementary school. He is just goddamn tough boxer that practically was vulnerable only to special attacks.
The commercial posted 2 pages ago clearly says "12 classic characters plus new ones." Plural.
The press release and developer says that there is 13 boxers in basic roster with one being new. Of course, the Dream Fight guy will be also new, as Mr. Dream won't be in the game (this was leaked by dude who had review copy).

...unless the "13 boxers" bit is just a sneaky half-truth designed to disguise the fact that there are more in bonus games or whatnot.
Again, I lived through the Brawl prediction period. It pays to wait and see. Ridley was "confirmed" over and over, as were several dozen characters that aren't inf the final game.
I don't think we'd have to separate out Bald Bull and Don Flamenco since promo material/big-name game site info counts as solid confirmation, but yeah, that works for me. Nothing wrong with saying "Super Macho Man is suggested/speculated to be in the game," but he ain't confirmed yet.
Shut up! Mega Man is totally in the game because the profile of the sticky bomb came out at exactly the same day some random Capcom blogger mentioned Mega Man 2 in a list of classic games he liked, and that game includes a sticky bomb! There's no way he wouldn't do that if he didn't want to confirm Mega Man in Brawl therefore he's 117% confirmed argle bargle bargle
Man, you guys are totally going through Brawl Dojo withdrawal, aren't you? :P
It looks like that. This is even more hilarious than people envisioning large April's Fool conspiracy between Nintendo, SEGA, International Olympic Commitee and Seiko.

Staying up until three in the morning to find the update and then go nuts about it was good times.
If only this game had come out in time for Little Mac to get into Brawl as a proper fighter!
Oh jeez now I'm just imagining Doc giving him advise on how to fight the different characters.
I was so happy when the game was out, since it meant I could actually get some sleep. Staying up till three in the morning every week day and then getting up for work in the morning for almost a year about killed me.
This looks fun. It comes out soon, right? Have there been any pre-reviews? I want it to be good. Please tell me it is good.
Nintendo Power gave it an 8.5. Since I'm already sold on the game, I didn't actually read the text of the article, but 8.5 sounds good to me. They gave Excitebots an 8.0, and it kicks ass.

I swear it took me 10+ years to finally take down Tyson. One day I was fed up and just kept pounding his code in over and over. Now I can do 14-0 while semi-drunk(pats self on back, offers reach around) so I guess it's like riding a bike.
I totally made this post to show how wicked awesome I am.
I remember being absolutely amazed as a little kid that I knew two people who could destroy Tyson like nothing. Seemed so unreal and impossible at the time.

I haven't read Nintendo Power in a long time. How trustworthy are they be to review games they're putting out?

I don't think Nintendo Power is directly owned by Nintendo anymore.
Toward the start they screwed up and showed the fight select screen for the World Circuit: see http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1498911 , around 1:30 in. (edit: this recording has since been removed.)
They showed Mr. Sandman and Super Macho Man, and you could pretty clearly see the back of Soda Popinski.
Haha, they wanted to show off title defense mode, but they can't. Not because of any restrictions from Nintendo...but because they can't beat the game.
That, right there, makes me feel much better about this game.

EDIT: Had we seen Don Flamenco in action before?
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/49130.html
Except that the dude is clearly bald, something that Ryan certainly isn't.
The guy with black trunks and gloves, and dark skin. Of course, it might be Don Flamenco's title defense form.

It is out next monday, hands-on have been very positive with everyone praising animation and motion controls.

Character burps -> Soda Popinski confirmed!?
Character seen with green shorts -> Aran Ryan confirmed!?
Character is black -> Mr. Sandman confirmed!?
Really, for right now, the only sure-fire confirmed characters (via the official website) are:
Confirmed by name via extended gameplay video or promo material:
Other highly speculated fighters:
I do miss the Brawl Dojo.

I won't.
EDIT: Is "will" in "If you will" the verb willing or being?
Because my pun might make no sense.
It's true I have friends at Nintendo/Capcom.
I think it's the first one. Like "if you will" is short for "if you will allow that."
But I guess I don't know for sure?

Of course, that'll be in "Super Smash Bros.: Battle Royale".

I should get around to beating the NES Punch-Out. I still can't beat Sandman or Super Macho Man. Whoever comes first.

In City Hunter, they changed E. Honda's name to E. Honde because Jacky Chan had a deal with Toyota, I think.

That, right there, makes me feel much better about this game.
