Also icon #13 right below Sonic's is still unknown.... Come onnnnn Megaman...! No, 13 is Mr. Game & Watch. It's already been proven, icons are in order of Smash game, and Ice Climbers is 14. I'm curious though, what's 19? Golden Sun please? Whoops, yeah I meant 19. Pretty obvious that 13 will be G&W. Even though it's seems to be highly unlikely, I'm still holding out for da Blue Bomba |

Nifty! I won't say Olimar's inclusion is unsurprising, but seeing a new character certainly is. in any case, I'm not against the idea, so I approve!
The fact that there are all different sorts of characters to master really makes this game feel huge, you know?

Best update in like a month, I say.
I can't wait to see how they work with Olimar

Yeah, there are currently 26 playable characters (I included Red's Pokemon individually and not Red himself), each with their own unique movesets.. Compared to Melee's 20 unique characters and 6 clones, Brawl is HUGE!

Best update in a while, that this is. A very intriguing character that looks like a blast and a challenge to play. Awesome.  |

People keep asking why Falcon isn't up yet... probably because no one that was ever an unlockable is on the Dojo yet.... so yeah.
ashjfgfa OLIMAR. JUST saw this, I'm so happy. Now I need to go buy Pikmin 2 and give it another shot (without rental!)
I love the detail on his space suit, too.

This game is really beefing up the "unusual" characters. The original, you could argue, had JPuff, Ness, and Yoshi who lacked true thrid jumps. But it got weirder in Melee with the Ice Climbers and Zelda/Sheik. Now we have Pokemon Trainer, Zero Suit Samus, and OLIMAR. What other crazy ass things can Sakurai come up with?
Also, I'm calling it now: tomorrow's update is some of Olimar's moves, at the very least an explanation of how he uses Pikmin.
And the stage would be The Impact Site or Forest of Hope. I can see Forest Navel or Final Challenge, but the other two capture the essence of Pikmin moreso. Especially when I see the stage being oversized cans, flowers, and rocks abounding. Maybe players fight on giant lilypads?

So what franchise number is the Pikmin symbol? Does it come in #19 (between Kid Icarus #18 and Sonic #20) or #22 (after DS #21)? It's 22. Honestly, I wasn't expecting more franchises after the DS one. That one seemed kinda... final to me. Unless there was a Wii one also. Another assumption blown out of the water! EDIT: Also, while I'd love to see Wind Waker Link, I think the "graphics don't fit" argument is at least partially valid. People want him to be cel-shaded, which likely wouldn't be possible. You'd be surprised just how much processing power cel-shading takes. It's actually fairly hard for a computer to do. With the amount going on in Smash already, I doubt it'd be possible. Still, a Wind Waker Link shaded regularly is something I see no problem with. ;D Did we forget about Tingle?  Also features a creature from Pikmin! |

Some friend of mine from another message board came up with the idea of a Stork from Yoshi games carrying the babies from the Mario universe. Stork as the name, and an egg as the icon. However, it was too wacky and I think it'd be better if the babies had something to do with the actual playable character Yoshi. We need more updates about Yoshi! |

At one point I thought the Yoshi's Island stage meant Yoshi would appear with Baby Mario riding on his back. It would serve as a mere decoration until a Smash Ball rolled around, and the Final Smash would be Superstar Mario with the shiny cape and Yoshi hiding in an egg and everything. |

I just loled imagining the Pikmin screams being smashed away by Falcon. That so needs to happen. *imagines Pikmin whimpering as they turn into ghosts* And Johans, I had this weird thought that Yoshi wasn't being unveiled for a while because his moveset was being changed to include the various babies from Yoshi's Island DS. Luckily that never happened ;p |

While this update was interesting alright (managing to make me go WTF? as soon as I saw it), I can't shake the feeling that Olimar is going to end up as Brawl's version of pichu.
Only time will tell, I guess.
