Regardless, Petey as a playable character would be fucking awkward. How would he attack? Headbutts?
Besides, it's like DM said. If you saw a trailer of the Adventure mode in SSBM, would you instantly assume Koopas and Redeads would be playable?

The difference is that Petey is a specific character. He has a first name for P

God's sake. He's a much bigger deal than just some random grunt enemies, and he's been a boss in at least a couple of major games that I know of. I also think that there has been some degree of support for him being in the game. The only reason I think there has been for him not to be in the game has to do with there being a whole lot of Mario characters in the game already, but that's no big deal. And as for a moveset, yes, Captain Falcon, Fox, etc.

I do expect Petey to be in the game, and I wouldn't be surprised if the next update pertains directly to him.

My question is this though... what is Metaknight doing trolling around with the Ancient Minister? I mean, it did fly back to the Halbeard.

It does rather seem that Sakurai is putting quite a lot of emphasis on his own characters this time around, doesn't it? What with the Halberd, the assist trophy, not to mention Kirby being the last one standing in the last video, against a Mario-exclusive villain, no less.

On the other hand, Meta Knight seems to be acting as a villain of sorts in this game, so I'm not sure if that actually bodes well for Dedede being in the game.

ok I'll stop over-analyzing now
 
A question: Does anyone still hold the preconcieved notion that these Primids, and their minister work for the hands/higher power?

In the beginning, it seemed as if by resurrecting Kirby, Mario had doomed the world, reversed rules, etc.

However, now it seems like these guys just do it. Maybe a cultist cleansing thing?

Enough of baseless speculation--i'm betting that the 'subspace bombs' will be the time limit you'll have to cater to, to finish each level/battle.

Thoughts?
 
OO OO OO AAH AAH!!

Out of nowhere, an EPIC development. Definately worth staying up the extra 2.5 hours.

It's about time they implemented another DK character, and of course it would have to be Diddy.

A small, light character with speed and agility to put Pikachu to shame? Also just what we needed. This is shaping up to be one HELL of a fight.
 
"He scrambles around the battle, using whimsical fighting moves while wielding both his Rocketbarrel Boost and Peanut Pop Gun!"

Oh heck yeah, I've always loved Diddy. The good old Jet Pack should make for awesome recovery and it's always fun to launch peanuts at your enemy.

As far as Nintendo characters go, I was really hoping to see this dude.

I actually started to like Diddy because of Mario Strikers Charged, I was never a fan of him before that, but this could turn out awesome.

If they keep this pace of 1 character per week, we'll see about 12 more together with the 20 revealed so far thats about 32, a fair number. But what I do expect that they do is not reveal Sonic and/or Tails until after launch and keep them from having a ? box (all speculation) and make the total an even 34, two rows of 12 characters and one row of ten.

Though if they do only had 12/14 more they will leave out at least a few that haven't been confirmed for Brawl but have been in the previous games:

Ganondorf
Young Link
Ice Climbers
Mr. Game & Watch
Luigi
Dr. Mario
Falco
Pichu
Jigglypuff
Mewtwo
Marth
Roy
Ness
Captain Falcon
14 Total

So while 34 seems like a realistic number (which can be done without adding a single new character and just adding old repeats), I actually expect a few more newcomers, and while anything more than 34 seems like the screen would be packed, this (fake) screen shows that even a large number like 50 could be done if necessary:

I'm honestly getting more and more pumped each week wondering who will be in it and I can't wait to play it.
 
Ganon wasn't confirmed, but...

...I've loved Diddy since DKC, and I'm ecstatic that he's in Brawl. There is a high chance of me maining him, despite the possibility of him being low on the tier list. (I main Kirby now, i doubt it gets much worse.)

If Petey's playable, then Ridley sure as hell better be playable.

(He has his own song, after all.)

More likely, though, will be that they'll make Assist Trophies out of them.

Unlike Petey, Ridley has a lot going for him to be playable.

1. Ridley had 4 recomondations, tieing with characters such as Ike and Diddy Kong who are now confirmed.
2. Sakurai wanted more villains.
3. Sakurai wanted more aerial-oriented fighters.

Also, YES DIDDY KONG.
 
Well there's Diddy Kong... And he comes without Dixie..... Guitar for Final Smash?

1. I forgot how many Petey had.... Probably less than Ridley, but still.
2. Petey Piranha is a villain.
3. Petey Piranha can fly.
 
I think the DK Franchise should be built upon. I'm happy about Diddy, but where's the Funky Kong!?

Bah, at least he isn't a clone. I like the idea of a presumed Rocketbarrel UpB and a Peanut Neutral, from the sounds of it.
 
ganondorf has to be in the game, the triforce, man! the triforce!! and in an interview some guy stated that he gave sakurai some concept art for ganondorf and sheik, which probably means theyll be in.

i don't know what to say about diddy kong, though. i'm not too familiar with the DK franchise. :(
 
I know what to say about Diddy Kong.
He is going to be a ranged light person (presumably anyway. He has a peanut launcher for his neutral, and is known for being a fast kong). This update is awesome!
 
I am getting PUMPED for this game!
First Ike, then the Subspace Emissary, PT, and now Diddy!
Nintendo sure is making everyone drool over this game. In fact, I reserved my copy right after Ike was confirmed. XD

He's a monkey... right? lol

I first thought it would be stupid, but I guess it might have potential if he isn't a DK clone.

I want Ridley!1!! Also, Dark Samus would be awesome.

Diddy will not be a clone of DK; 100% Fact. Anyway I do wonder if we will get a new character or maybe a vet every week.( maybe more like the PT week)
 
C'mon, didn't you all see it coming?, Diddy was one of these that we all wanted to be along DK on the game to represent that franchise.

I'm happy, Diddy seems cool, i think he will be of the fast type, totally different to DK.

CasMat, as if petey will be a character... lol
Click to expand...

he's already confirmed to be in the game, and he isn't an original character like all other previously unplayable characters. I'd bet money he's playable.


PS: I cried when I saw this update, I hate Diddy Kong so much
