Final Roster Revealed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl?

If the following screens are true gamers, be prepared to be blown away. As if we needed any more reason to feed our need for this game how about 44 of them! 44 looks to be the magic number of characters playable in the new Smash Bros. Brawl, although none of the screens are confirmed as of this point.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is going to be the pinnacle of what the Wii can truly do and is on everyone's most wanted list. For now enjoy the RUMORED screens and I will keep you updated if anything changes gamers. March seems so far away now doesn't it?

[RecSpec]

Given the recent events this one seems pretty legit, although I can't make out some of the people.

Hmm Black Shadow and K. Rool are surprising, Cel Link was rumored, Krystal? C'mon, now. Now I'm just looking for who the hell the rest of these people are. And what's with the trio thing they got going here. A lot of series have 3 reps in it. (Kirby, DK, Starfox, earthbound?)

[KidMakeshift]

Yay, I didn't know Midna was on the roster.

[Intrepid]

marths pic is terrible and dark samus would never happen. idk what to say about some of the other ones. just... no.

[Foliage]

This looks fake. The character images have no artistic direction at all. Just random images pulled from random locations.

[PMR_21]

OVERRATED

[Prismo_Fillusion]

According to my sources a lot of the character models in those screenshots are old. Also, the fact that they exactly mock each other (even with the pointer) is extremely fishy. 95% sure it's a fake.

[CaptMorganstern]

months ago i read an interview with some important nintendo blah blah guy, (could have been from Hal Laboratories, i cant remember.) anyway, this was before any real news had come out about smash bros except for the fact that snake was in it. the guy said that they were aiming for around 40 characters, a couple more from outside nintendo, and it was going to have Ridley and Kid Bowser in it. this image supports most of that, but there is one HUGE flaw in it. There is no Zero Suit Samus in the roster, which was confirmed from day effing one.

[Blank1017]

I agree in that I think this is a fake, but I was under the impression that zero suit Samus was analagous to the whole Zelda / Sheik thing. So that Samus can end up as zero suit but not as a completely different and selectable character.

of course I may be wrong

(and how can there be no tails or knuckles!?!?)

[desolationstorm]

Stevesim you are correct Zero Suit is not her own character but a little differnt then zelda/sheik. Since you turn into her after your final smash and cannot change back atleast not that poeple have confirmed.

[ChickeyCantor]

When selecting zelda you could start as Sheik when holding down a Button so i dont think they are Making a new character button just for her i think it will work in the same way zelda works for starting with sheik

Zero suit = Samus with suit.
She will change intoo Zero suit if you use the Final smash.

[MMX1031]

If you look at Jigglypuffs ear really closely you'll see that it extends the bounding box for the characters images. Obviously this photo was doctored.

[wiizy]

smash bros will be the best and biggest game of 08.. so fanboys can stop with their dumb comments..

[Bubble Buddy]

I agree the Brawl will be one of the best games of the year and maybe the best, we'll see about that. GTA4, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, MGS4, Alan Wake, Too Human and DMC4 are strong contenders.
But i definitely say it is going to be the best game on the wii this year.

[MACHone]

Damn them to hell! The roster has been my biggest concern about this game from day one! To heck with online play! To heck with items! If Capt. Falcon, Gannondorf, and Mewtwo miss the brawl, I'm gonna be sorely disappointed! This shot is highly suspect, but I'd be quite happy if that's what the final roster looked like. One would be quite foolhardy to blindly believe it, though -- just look at all the mock fan-made roster pictures on Google.

[yamamoto114]

Fake.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Who cares?

Just go buy a Dreamcast and Power Stone 2 for a better time.

EDIT: Still though...it's more fun overall. Super Smash Brothers is fun, yes. However, it's missing the combos of Tekken and fun-factor of Street Fighter. I guess I'm just one of those rare cases that dislikes a series that everyone else seems to love. The same is true of me and Halo. Super Mario Galaxy is the same way. I have a Wii...and Brawl is the ONLY game making me keep that peice of crap! If it isn't as good as I hope it is, that's it. It'll be Ebay for me!

[ShadoWulf]

(Haha, he just asked who cared about Smash the Bros Brawl roster!) Well, sir, probably more people than you can count.

[ChickeyCantor]

you really have to stop saying Powerstone is better then smashbros really.
Because it isn't.
Powerstone is a good game but is nothing without the environment and items while smash bros is still a solid game on just one flat platform and no items.

So no Powerstone is a good game but certainly not better then Smashbros.

[ShadoWulf]

Absolutely fake. There's no way they could come up with original or workable fighting styles for these characters. Also, they used widely available character models and pictures for the icons, some of which are quite dated. Considering every character so far has a new, updated look, putting in old art from games for a character icon is just plain unbelievable. Especially since it's only the proposed 'new characters' that have them.

[TheFireTruck]

One more confirmation that this is fake is that a lot of the character art is simply official art from the game (for example Micaiah is just the official 2D image from hero own game).

[TwissT]

I think this is fake, but who knows the gaming industry is full of rumours so for what all we know this could be real...

[mintaro]

i think ill reserve judgement until i hear confirmation, but to me these pics looks fake, they just dont seem to have the artistry that was presnt in the other SMB games (namely melee)
btw who is that character that is derectly over the writing in the last row? looks kinda like batman lol

[fox_mccloud07]

is maybe fake but Roy not in man hate Sakuri now LOL aint supposed to be 48 charcters

[tapdis]

this is going to be the best game of 08 and on...lol you know what would be mad hot if they put in naruto lol, and goku. lllolll

[Amagai Shuusuke]

Wait, is that Batman?

[Tyrael]

Is it just me or did that look like Solid Snake in the bottom right?

[Intrepid]

Snake was confirmed for this game a LONG time ago.

[Iron Man 2]

I will be buying a Wii just for this game,PSWii FTW!;)

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Best game of 2008?

You guys honestly want to compare a game that Insomniac could create with their hands tied behind their backs to masterpieces like Metal Gear Solid 4, GTAIV, DMC4, Fallout 3, Ninja Gaiden 2, Resistance 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Too Human, Spore, and Alan Wake? Are you kidding me?

Get lives!!!

(I know they're not out yet, but how can you even compare them?)

It makes no sense to compare a brawler to games that took years of emotion, programming, and tedious detail to immerse you into them. Do you think a game like Tekken should beat out Shadow of the Colossus for game of the year...just because it's a great fighter?

[DarkSniper]

It's unfortunate that Mega Man did not make the final roster.

$niper

[smashballs]

I'd say don't believe it for now, but instead brace yourselves for the torrent of confirmed information coming your way in about 75 hours.

And who the he11 is that next to Lucas? Does that say "Mathman?" Oh no wait..that's "Masked Man" MOTHER 3? Holy Mothra.. That would be 100% black tar radicalility
