Snake and Sonic?  It's just a joke. I believe those characters made the game over 9000 times more awesome than it would have without them. Sonic maybe. Snake, nah. Not iconic enough for my taste. Anyway, back on topic. I really thing that Tracey is an original character for the game, not all the characters hae to be taken from other games, even Smash had their own for example if a crossover project most be mentioned. |

All Mario games are jump - run - jump some more - repeat. All Zelda games are etcetra etcetra blah blah blah. Snake might not be Konami's mascot (though I'd say unofficially he's right up there), but he's notable as hell, and is a better addition than pretty much every other character added to Brawl.
So, in summary - FAILURE.

Seriously though, why all this hostility? I thought we were all joking around, but you guys seem intent on driving me into the dirt! The constant :Ps should've let you now I wasn't being entirely serious. |

So, in summary - FAILURE. The Metal Gear games are hardly games. They are more movies with a little bit of poor sneaking.  But still, Snake really brings nothing besides the codecs. Beyond that, he's really out of place and no one really wanted him. He's there, and in some ways, really shouldn't be. Sonic was actually a character people wanted and his trophies actually relate to a Nintendo game. Not that he isn't a fun and unique character, but he's so out of place that there are other third party characters that could work better. And with Wario, Meta-Knight, Pit, Dedede, Diddy, Sonic and Olimar, Snake isn't the thing that makes this game awesome. |

Yeah, more like Cutscene-sneak-cutscene some more, repeat Every single game on the planet falls in the "Lather, rinse, repeat" category. Sonic just runs, rolls, repeats. Samus shoots, explores, repeat. Et cetera, et cetera. |

I wasn't even aware Mario games had a story aside from rescue the princess! |

Yeah, if there's one thing Metal Gear knows how to do, it's story. Even if they do sometimes forget to put the game in.

And with Wario, Meta-Knight, Pit, Dedede, Diddy, Sonic and Olimar, Snake isn't the thing that makes this game awesome. Exactly! You took the words out of my mind Smashchu! It's not that Snake wasn't a good character, I think that his move set is quite original, it's just that to be the first game that features outsider characters Snake was a bad decision prompted by the tears of Kojima and the too good soul of Sakurai. Old members might or might not remember that I went in an anger tantrum not because of the inclusion of Snake, but because of the inclusion of Snake BEFORE characters that might actually deserve the spot like Sonic (that at the time was not confirmed), Mega Man, Bomber Man, Ryu, Goemon, etc, etc. AND THAT SHOULD FINISH THIS DISCUSSION ON THIS TOPIC! This is about Captain Rainbow, not Smash Bros. There is another board for that and this has been discused a lot before. Anyway, back to my ignored comment, Tracy might be an all original character fitting the need of a female role or something, there might even be a town of some sort of normal humans that want wishes granted but are not references to past Nintendo games. BTW, I have just noticed, why is Birdo the only non human featured? Aren't we in due for another creature? The game is less than a month away! |

I doubt they'll reveal all the islanders before release.

You want to talk about Captain Rainbow? Alright... Mappo. Now back to the important discussion at hand. I consider myself a hardcore gamer. I like the games that few people understand. Therefore I couldn't care less about Pit, Lucas, Diddy, and all those Nintendo characters that are scraped out of the barrel in hopes that they won't have to resort to adding more third parties (I'm looking at you R.O.B.). Snake was an excellent decision to add to the game. As anyone who's played a Metal Gear Solid game can tell you, he could probably fit perfectly into that wacky and crazy universe you folks call Nintendo. And another thing... lol, wut? When Snake was revealed, people orgasmed. Snake was the reason millions of Wii's were sold. He was also the reason I bought a Wii (and damn him, I wish I hadn't now). So you go ahead and say your little pleas of "He don't fit!" and I'll respond with "It's not a puzzle. He doesn't need to fit in order to be an amazing choice of character." |

It's just a joke.
