Comment by Cameron on 25 January 2008:
So awesome. I can’t wait. At least 44 playable characters!
Comment by The Wiitard on 25 January 2008:
We agree, this list looks awesome!

Comment by Embryonic on 26 January 2008:
LOL! R-tard doesn’t even know what Game and Watch is. Besides, Bomberman is of the homosexual orientation, thats why hes not in SSBB

Comment by Chris on 26 January 2008:
Anyone know whos below Peach and to the right of Diddy kong? i cant make it out.
Comment by Mike on 26 January 2008:
It’s Ridley from Metroid
To fill in the gaps from the list:
Ridley (of Metroid)
Fusion Suit Samus
Star Wolf (of Star Fox)
Micaiah (of Fire Emblem)
Black Bull (of F-Zero)
Masked Man (of Earthbound/Mother)

The 2 Samus make me think it’s a fake
Comment by ROSSMAN on 26 January 2008:
I’m guessing the character to the left of Fox is StarWolf.
Comment by logoseph on 26 January 2008:
This makes me wonder-the melee screen was a plain rectangle until you unlocked all the secret characters. 4 in original, 11 in melee. Brawl: who knows?
Comment by a on 27 January 2008:
That’s not fusion suit Samus, it’s Dark Samus.
Comment by Vyperchild on 27 January 2008:
second samus is not fusion suit- its dark samus/metroid prime. This is probably a fake though, however i would be pleased with this list
Comment by dad on 27 January 2008:
This has been proven fake numerous times. Notice how there are drawing of some characters instead of 3d models. Also, charizards wing is in the pokemon trainers select box, where as in the demo stations there is no wing.
Comment by The Wiitard on 27 January 2008:
@dad
Other than your opinion what proof do you have, who says they can’t have different art styles in the menu?
Comment by Rikka on 27 January 2008:
There using art from other games for the unconfirmed characters. And why would they decide not to use the character’s model in Smash for all the ones we know, but decide not to for every unlockable?
Comment by The Wiitard on 27 January 2008:
All I am saying is that a lot of the fake arguments are based only on speculation. Maybe the gametrailers.com video is using a fake graphic but it looked pretty convincing and this pic is a screen from that video.
Comment by Scraps on 29 January 2008:
Umm… if I’m right, there was a video which screened donkey kong and diddy kong’s intro. If that’s the case, why is it that the koopa soldiers stole donkey kong’s hoard and not K. Rool or his troops himself? Doesn’t that seem suss?
Comment by The Wiitard on 29 January 2008:
I guess that could create some speculation, but the whole video was all about how all these epics games are being mashed up not to confirm or deny who is going to be in the game.
Comment by Kinan Eldari on 29 January 2008:
It’s been proven that this is a fake. Just look at Jigglypuff’s ear. it’s on top of the name instead of underneath, WW Link is a drawing, Midna and Ganondorf’s images are from TP game art and the name bars should be black, not gray.
Yeah while I wish this were real (I really want Midna in, among others), it’s not. Sorry folks.
Comment by The Wiitard on 29 January 2008:
@Kinan
I have heard people give their personal opinions on why this is fake already. Do you have a credible link that proves this is a farce?
Comment by fgddf on 29 January 2008:
It’s now proven FAKE because of all the leaked info. The roster has 35 characters…all the confirmed ones and obvious ones + toon link, ROB, Wolf, and Falco.
Comment by The Wiitard on 29 January 2008:
@fgddf
Give a link to “all the leaked info”.
Comment by IcyStorm on 30 January 2008:
This is false.
http://ranobe.com/up/src/up254065.jpg <- current character screen (probably one more Star Fox character to be revealed, judging by the alignment of the characters. A Star Fox character inserted after Dedede would push Lucario under PKMN Trainer for the Pokemon column, Koopa to the next row under Peach for the Mario column, etc.)
Comment by The Wiitard on 30 January 2008:
@icystorm
Thank you for that screen, I will be posting that info tomorrow.
Comment by Flash4Life on 31 January 2008:
The main thing I noticed was that Zelda is on her own in this screen, when obviously Shiek is in the Character select box with her. (See SSBB Dojo) The video posted, has MANY pictures from the main site and could have easily been created. Why not have game play of the other characters, or even having them at least selected….
Comment by MikeJones898 on 31 January 2008:
It’s a fake.
Ridley was confrimed as a boss and not playable.
Comment by Samusfan96 on 31 January 2008:
MikeJones898 is right it was confirmed:(but it is still possible :)
