You guys need to clam down. Just because they don't announce a character before the game comes out doesn't mean they won't be in. There's no way that Sakurai is giving away all of Brawl's secrets.

Ninjas will. But yeah, chances are Takamru will be a hidden character, and we'll find out with the Japanese launch. |

Nerrrr.
The good news is that this highly questionable pair of characters gets their return cemented, putting to rest a shitload of speculation and finally killing that Ridley/Bowser Jr/Wind Waker Link rumor.
The bad news? Allow me to paraphrase Christopher "The Awesome" Walken:
"I've got a fever...and the only prescription is more Falcon Punching."
God, I don't have much GOING for me in Brawl so far! My favorite character from Melee is teetering on the edge of being cut from the roster, so at least put my jittery nerves to rest and show my second favorite, Sakurai! X( TEi's inner F-Zero nerd needs satiating!
But this puts a fitting capper on a flimsy week. I never cared much for Ice Climbers in the first place...so this doesn't do anything for me. Bleh. X(

This makes me a very happy panda. This basically confirms Game and Watch, and we can infer the less crappy clones may be coming back. I'm seeing this as an indicator of a very huge roster...
Oh, and one more character to hit that magic 20. Funnily enough, I'm thinking we'll break that. Why would they ditch Falcon and a Mother character when they clearly have been revealed to be in the game?
EDIT: This does confirm a theory that somebody had going on Gamefaqs for a while. No, it's not another rumor... The kid said that Ice Climbers would be next if only because it made a neat little square of the four Melee newbies in the bottom right, while the rest of the veterans were Smash originals. Good for him he was right.
I can't really see Falcon fitting in there unless they don't care about leaving a mostly empty row. And one more newcomer will make that a perfect square again as well. 20 characters...

I ain't saying Falcon's been cut...to me, he's always been a shoe-in for Brawl. I just want to actually see him. X(

While the Ice Climbers weren't my favourite Melee characters by a long shot, they were easily the most exciting for me before its release - seeing as I had just started NinDB and was absorbing myself in Nintendo's forgotten NES classics at the time. Hopefully Nana's AI has been improved over the original as well. Especially as we now have a load more moving/scrolling stages. She always fell off those. That would make them more usable. But they're so CUTE! And now they're joined by Pit for most impressive design update for NES characters |

Based on the screens, it looks as though Nana stays closer to Popo. Anyone think that the supposed "IceTop" will be their stage?

Well Fryguy hoped for a surprise and look at that...
We got one.
This also kills the Dixie and Diddy Team up...

I think Diddy's update killed that.

I think the "Diddy Kong" update pretty much did that on its own  I hoped for a surprise... this isn't a surprise. It's good to see them back, but this isn't... like... a new character, or a game mode or something. It'd be like an update about collectable (non-Assist) trophies being back. Great, and will make me a happy panda... but simply something from the last game brought across. |

I'm so relieved. When I saw "アイスクライマー", I peeked into the icon to the right, praying "it's not an Assist"... Whew. It's actually a chatacter entry.

Balloon Fighter was never supposed to be in Melee. If he was supposed to be in Melee, then Bubbles, Urban Champion, and Excitebike were supposed to be in Melee because Sakurai considered them all including Balloon Fighter before settling on Ice Climbers.

Dixie's barrel appears and Dixie breaks out to temporarily join Diddy in brawl. That would be cooler than the lame Diddy's Guitar Final Smash. |

Daddy Brain will be back.
