Rumortoid: Three new characters for Smash Bros. Brawl accidentally revealed

Last week, Smash Bros. DOJO!! revealed that stickers you collect in the single player campaign of Super Smash Bros. Brawl would act as power-ups when applied. However, the website may have inadvertently revealed something much, much bigger.

The stickers can be stuck to the bottom of a character's statue to grant that character certain powers in Subspace Emissary, the single player portion of the game. When viewing the stickers in your sticker book, the bottom of the screen shows what the sticker does and who the power is applied to.

Last week on the Japanese Wii web site, a preview video of Brawl was released. That preview though had been modified at some point so up until about an hour ago, the stickers segment showed Jigglypuff , Ness and a Pokemon known as Lucario as possible playable characters in Brawl.

(That's not Ness, that's Pokemon trainer)

[Intrepid]

If you look at it carefully, you'll see that when the Groudon (the big red Pokemon) is selected, the four following Playable Characters are shown: Pikachu, Pokemon Trainer, Lucario, and Jigglypuff. The Groudon sticker is compatable with all characters related to pokemon.

Next, the sticker of Lucas is selected. On the bottom, you can see Ness and Lucas. If you look carefully, Ness' eyes are long and hollow. Pokemon Trainer's are dots. The Lucas sticker is compatable with Earthbound/ Mother characters. It makes sense.

Yea Thats Definitly Pokemon trainer.

Does that rule out Ness as unlockable, probably not. And maybe its just me but I kinda just assumed Jigglypuff was gonna be around, its probably the first unlock again. Same with Luigi, I'm just assuming he is gonna be an unlockable too.

Look at the first picture, and it's no doubt PT. Now, look at the second picture, the circled one, and that pic is different. Ness. This was one of the first things said last night when this came out on the gamfaqs boards.

[Blank1017]

maybe my eyes suck, but I cant really see a difference on those damned tiny picture. But I can make out the word "PSI" as part of the upgrade, and I dont see how that would help the poke trainer. So maybe you are right.

not that I was really ever a fan of playing as Ness.

[iceman2929]

im pretty sure that lucario isnt playable, i rember reading a while back that he is one of the pokemon from the pokeballs ( just like the groudon we also saw in the video)

[abbottry]

near or around the time of this leak. A leading Pok'e'mon developer named Serebii, who has his own website, revealed that Lucario and Jiggs will be unlockable. He would know. Case closed.

[Kami]

im pretty sure he is playable. and the socond game mew2 sucked balls and lucaorio is going be ok because its a fighting pokemon with powers like hadukens(aka energy balls in the game, so think ryu)i think if its a playable character its going to work pretty well.

[TwissT]

I disagree Mewtwo was an awesome character, not as a championship high tier character but I found him really fun to play as, and he also had the most kick @ss throws.

[blynx182]

No megaman here...

[Omegasyde]

$^$#^$#$^B# I am still going to get the game, but man megaman would be icing on the cake!

Hopefully Capcom puts him on the corner for Nintendo to pick up.

[mr_potato]

Well they couldn't possibly cut Jiglypuff.

As for the other 2 im sceptic.

[InMyOpinion]

Does anyone know if Square's clown dog be playable in this game?

[ChickeyCantor]

Thats LUCAS not NESS
NEss has black hair?

[abbottry]

Lucas is next to Ness. Everybody, it's Pt in the first pic, and Ness in the second. It's also Lucario and Jiggs in the first.

[bootsielon]

Even though Wii has last-gen architecture, the game does look impressive when compared to most Wii games. It also looks Epic. It might be worth getting a Wii for, but.... friends codes suck.

[Omegasyde]

Yea this smash brothers has fighter of year all over it and definately would be in the consideration of GOTY.

Namco's Tekken/Soul cablibur will have to up the ante.

[RecSpec]

There's a leaked list floating around from the Japanese version, but I'll let you all find it for yourself, I haven't read the whole list of secret characters. But I will say that according to the list, everyone revealed from dojo minus Snake and Sonic make up the starting roster plus Captain Falcon.

And for some proof of said list, Pokemon Rival is supposedly a character.

Edit: Okay, couldn't resist. Said list is fake haha. Sorry

[abbottry]

I heard this on the gamespot.com boards. The topics must have gotten modded though. Luigi was in I remember. WW/PH Link is in. Jiggs, Lucario and Ness are in(confirmed in this story). No more thrid party characters. Ridley is not in. This info was posted by a kid who has a friend who bought the Japanese guide. It's not necessaruly true, but it's pretty believable. It's also only 35 characters.

[TruthbeTold]

The resurrection of Ness. He may not be top-tier, but it's all about the bat.

[Omegasyde]

and yo-yo.

I came across a list dated awhile back, seeing as how a couple of these have been confirmed. It's worth a look

1. Falco is returning.

2. Ganondorf is returning.

3. Captain Falcon is returning.

4. Lucario is taking Mewtwo's Place.

5. Ness is returning.

6. Zelda can turn into Sheik. (confirmed)

7. And there are these items called "Dragoon Parts" I did some research and apparently they're from Kirby's Air Ride. Supposedly, if you collect all three parts you can do some devastating move where you control a crosshair and do a crazy rush or something. (confirmed)

8. Oh and Final Destination is back.
