I'm all for Nintendo branching out. Granted they have a huge history with many characters, but Snake? That's awesome. And I think Iwata/whoever was lying when he said there would be another 2 more non-Nintendo characters.
I'm predicting, in order of likeliness-
Megaman
Dracula from Castlevania
Someone from Streets of Rage
NiGHTS chap
At least one reference to Bubble Ghost
Bomberman
Someone from Street Fighter

Iwata
Jesus
A giant crab
Sonic
From Nintendo series I'm predicting- Advance Wars people. At least 3 Fire Emblem people (going off how popular it is over here now). An arena based on Tetris. Dry Bones or Koopa. King DeDeDe. Soma Cruz. Toad. Tingle as a trophy. Golden Sun references.
Pokemon trainers final smash? It has to be a legendary
I'll eat a hat lookalike cake if it's otherwise!

I want Bill Gates as a character so I can smash him
But dude, don't let your personal preferences interfere, unless you're going to call that a wish list. Sonic is NOT the least likely to appear; in fact, since Nintendo has openly acknowledge that Sonic is the most requested Smash Bros character and individuals at Sega have been instructed not to talk about Smash Bros, and on top of that Sega is making Sonic/Mario crossover games, AND Nintendo is having Sega musicians work on Smash Bros, Sonic is probably at the top of the "most likely" list, despite the fact that you don't want him on it.
The Pokemon Trainer's Final Smash'll probably either be something with all three Pokemon put together, or summoning some hyper-rare legendary (Mew? Arceus? Diagla/Palkia?). Mew seems most likely, considering that this is clearly the trainer from Red/Blue (aka Ash) judging from appearance and the Pokemon he carries (the Red/Blue starters not obtainable in other games). If Mewtwo is no longer playable, it could be him, too...
BTW, anyone notice how many Pokemon have been playable in Smash Bros? After Brawl, we'll have had...Pikachu, Pichu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Charizard, Squirtle, and Ivysaur. They might as well make a Pokemon fighting game with the Smash Bros engine as they already have over a half dozen playable and several dozen as Pokeball summons already modelled.
I tend to agree. I can't think of a single other character not already in the game that would get people as pumped up as Sonic. I can also think of no reason why Nintendo or Sega would not want Sonic in the game.
I've been wanting that for a long time.
Conveniently, the number of attacks a Pokémon can learn is the same as the number of special attacks in Smash Bros.
I say make a new Pokémon game for the Wii and make it a real Pokémon RPG (Not simply another stadium game) and use the Smash Bros engine for battles. Make some attacks standard for all Pokémon (meaning that they don't forget them and they don't count as one of their four moves) such as Tackle, Pound, etc. and these would be their normal attacks.
That wouldn't be an RPG then... It'd be like a fighting game with RPG elements of viceversa. It would be way too hard to make 150+ characters with individual movesets and stats. Moves could be generic, but then you gotta account for wieght, toughness, and all those goody physics mechanics that are found in smash. Unless you categorize everyone, which would then dumb down the game to a generic, dumbed down pokemon/smash game. I don't think it's a good idea, I think that was the point I was tryin' to make, heh. Sorry not to bash your idea, but that's just my thoughts.
I don't play Pokemon, but I think they should make their next Pokemon concentrated totally on online gameplay, with tourny's and everything. I know they won't though... Oh Ninnty.
Except that Pokemon already have stats for health, defense, attack, speed, etc etc...
Yea but i'm talkin about the smash physics and how it will be tied into that.
Well, look at the Tales games. They are RPGs with a real-time fighting system.
Also, I honestly don't think every Pokémon should be in this game. Why not just have 100 or maybe even less than that? I wouldn't be too disappointed if not every single one was in the game.
I hope Ike's grabs are as fast as Marth's...his grab and throws made for some awesome combos in Melee
And for online matches!
Care to provide links where they've said online play will not be included? So far what little information I can find on the web says that online play will be there. It hasn't been mentioned recently but that doesn't mean it's not there.
If Madden 08 can go online on the Wii, why can't this?
What is it that keeps making people think/fear that it wont be online? When it was first introduced, Iwata said there would be online battles, and there's been nothing since then to suggest otherwise... aside from them not repeating it 800,000,000 times...
As for reggie not mentioning it during his online speech at E3; I think I might be the only person on earth to have noticed this, but the video montage of "online games" had a smash bros. battle in it.

hey, if SSBB is online I will be very very happy indeed. It's just a lot of the stuff people are reading as confirmation is old speculative stuff from the start of 2006 or some fan site proclaiming it's there ("Metroid Prime 3 is online! Reggie said so!").
If it was in that E3 presentation I didn't see it.

A lot of times officials say things that are mistaken in small interviews; like Iwata said in 2004 that the Revolution could use a VGA monitor.
But generally, if something is said on stage it's accurate. And Smash Bros was stated to be "the first online game" for the Wii on stage in E3 2005.
Yea, like I said, I don't think anyone saw it except me.
scroll to about 48:00. He just finished introducing Mario Kart and wrapping up his speech about how nintendo is serious about online, and shows behind him a montage of online games, including in addition to Smash Bros, other confirmed online titles such as madden, fifa, mario kart etc...

Look to the far right.
