Welcome to Gaia! ::

I hope they git rid of clones OR they change the clones to have original moves.

Oh yeah a Super Mario Galaxy Stage mrgreen

A Wario Ware stage would be awesome! It could be the hotel with the elevator you see between minigames, and you all have to fight, but then when the music gets to a certain point, you have to jump into the elevator, or jump up to the next floor or something or you get a bunch of damage or killed.

On the whole Sonic thing, I'm really unsure. I mean, he could be in so far, but I would think that we'd have heard something. With the Fire Emblem characters, we knew someone from their game would be in, due to the copyright that was at the bottom of the site for awhile. With Sonic we literally have nothing to grasp onto. We could say the Olympics game, but maybe they're doing that so that Sonic doesn't have to be in Brawl. I really want him in this game, and pretty much the rest of the gaming world wants him in the game. Every mockup boxart I've seen has Sonic on it. Every preorder advertisment has Sonic on it. Nearly everyone wants him in the game. The Nintendo poll in Japan for characters they wanted had Sonic at the top. Typing all this out, I do feel a bit better. He has to be in the game. He just has to.

Anyway, everyone's doing predictions now, thanks to Seaphron, so I'll do one as well?

-The Subspace Emissary is only one of the adventure modes.
-There will not be alternate costumes. While the idea is great, and they could do a lot with it, the opportunity may be missed.
-Tingle will be in this game in more than just a stage. Assist trophy, cool. Playable character, and I'll crap bricks.
-There will be fifty+ stages. (How many where in Melee...?)
-Ganondorf will be given his sword, and will be similar to Ike in the fact that they are both slow swordsman.
-One of the Metroid Hunters will be playable.
-New Super Mario Bros stage.
-..... Mega mushroom as an item. o_o
-I'm thinking more wind effects in this game. Something more than just Whispy Woods. Maybe flying on the Great Fox or something will make you get pushed back.
-Dr. Mario will not make the cut. In the first video with gameplay in it, Mario does a meteor smash, that sends someone (I believe Pikachu) flying upward. This alone tells me the Doc has been taken out, and Mario has been kind of fused with him.
-King god-damn Dedede! Seriously! I remember reading an interview I believe, that said he was supposed to be in the original, but Sakurai didn't want too many of his own characters in the game. We have Meta Knight, we better get Dedede.
-Baby Mario and Wigi. They just keep appearing in games, and they've been in Partners in Time as of late. Ice Climbers may or may not make it back, and if they don't, we've got two hammer wielding lightweights to replace 'em.
-Shadow Mario and Bowser Junior. They would have a Shiek/Zelda transformation. 'Nuff said, really.

Things I'd LOVE to see:

-Phoenix ******** Wright. Assist trophy, playable character, just get him in the game. He may be Capcom made, but he's only ever been on a Nintendo system, and right now, he's pretty popular.
-Mega Man. Call him a Samus clone if you want, but Mega Man would be pretty unique. I don't know which Mega Man they'd use, but I'd hope for the first one.
-Snow Bros as a team of two. Few people played this NES masterpiece, but I know some did, and it's really a cult hit (pun not intended). If Capcom allows Phoenix Wright and Mega Man, I'll always want Nick and Tom.
-Ryu Hayabusa. Team Ninja is making a new Ninja Gaiden for DS, so they've got some love for Nintendo. He's already been in fighting games, and putting him in Brawl would be awesome, because he was an NES icon. I'd really love to see a Pokeball with Pidgey in it, that just totally annihilates him, as well.
-Little Mac. He's gotta be one of the most requested first party characters. I'd rather see his NES incarnation than his SNES one, but either would be cool. Perhaps he'll be an assist trophy, where he unleashes ZEE UPPERCUT!
-The guy from Startropics would make a versatile character. I forget his name, but he has a Yo-yo and many other weapons. Actually, nevermind, that seems kind of like Ness.
-Dr. Kawashima as an assist trophy or an item. "Your brain is 84, Wario!" So maybe Wario would get 84%?
-More expression. The screenshots show the characters with facial expressions, and I want to see that in the game itself. Dr. Kawashima says you're dumb, I want to see the character's sad face, or maybe infuriation.
-DK Bongos as an item. I know DK's final smash uses them, but how about an item as well? They could imitate DK's down and B attack, and when you throw them, they could react like they were getting hit with a baseball bat.
-More real life items in general. Let's see a Wiimote as an item. How about the game disc as a stage (Final Destination?)
-Online play. I really hope that there is some online play, just so all of the Smash community can shut the ******** up (reminds me of my next point). I'm so sick of people talking about Melee or posting videos, and then people just saying "I could kick your a** with *character*" I want that gone. The thing that has me worried is that Melee was a very fast paced game, and Brawl will be, too. Nintendo already set rules for Strikers, that you can only play with people around the world if they're your friend just to reduce lag. Strikers is fast paced, yes, but Brawl even moreso. Lag will make or break battles, and this game is four player, as well. Four players, from across the globe, smashing on insane stages, and throwing items every which way will lag a lot. I want online, yet I'm afraid for it.
-Wavedashing needs to be taken out. The Smash community is saying they won't buy the game if Wavedashing is taken out, because they "won't be able to compete." ******** 'em. They've got the rest of the Nintendo fans, and even some of the Smash community.
-Miis as playable characters. I proposed this a long time ago. Whenever someone says Miis should be playable, someone jumps onto the idea that they'd be custom characters and would make the gameplay unfair. That's not what I'm suggesting. I'm suggesting that there is a spot on the characters that is a Mii. You choose it, and then you get to choose any Mii you have. They'd probably all be the same height, or near it, and all have identical attacks. Special attacks could include sports items, or a gun from Wii Play, or a tank or anything. I'd love to see myself fighting alongside Meta Knight. The only thing that has me worried is the storyline driven adventure mode.
-I'd like to see a Galaxy stage, and a MP3 stage, but I think those games will be too new. It will probably (or from what we've seen) be based on things already out and not also in development right now.
-Viewtiful Joe. Captain Falcon clone/costume or not, he's an iconic figure that needs to live on in some way now that Clover is finished.
-Captain Olimaaaaaaaar! Who helped launch the GameCube beside Melee? That's right, Captain ********' Olimar. Throwing Pikmin, his signature headbutt, whatever, I want him in this game. He'll probably be an assist trophy, but I don't care.
-Pac Man. Say what you will, but Pac Man deserves it. He may not be the best in 3D, but he's been in good relations with Mario from MKAGP and Pac Man VS. I'd just love to see Pac Man, Mario, and Sonic all fighting side by side in 2007.
-Nintendo, I just want this game ******** with stuff. I want to be laughing as I notice things, playing the game for the first time. The thing that made me love Melee early on was that I didn't know anything about it. I hadn't seen any videos online, or anything, and it was totally fresh with me. I almost didn't check the updates nightly, because I wanted it fresh, but I know with a game of this caliber, it would be impossible to keep away from it.

Anyway, I'll stop. I don't want to type too much. xd

I'm afraid you don't have your facts right. sweatdrop You can play against a random person in Strikers. AND I rarely experience lag in that.

Oh ok, I just misread it. Well then I agree, if they don't do online correctly, it'll suck and people will be up in arms.

When I said if they don't do it correctly, I meant if it's lag heavy, then it will suck.
