Does anyone know how close to release the last Brawl and/or Melee newcomers were revealed?

I mean how close to release were they still revealing characters, besides the hidden ones they didn't mention until release. Basically I want to know if they're going to reveal anyone else before it comes out.

The last character they revealed was Sheik, on January 16, 2008 and the game came out on January 31, 2008. They then immediately revealed Ness the day after, but obviously, it was pointless by then anyway.

So, like, two weeks before the game came out.

Re. Dark Pit: Wasn't he confirmed as a boss character on Palutena's Temple? Well, not confirmed, but I heard one of the footage for the stage has Dark Pit on it for a split sec on. It even makes sense, given the stages size and Dark Pits hit n run-tactics in Chapter 5.

Olimar was a month or two before release, Lucario, Wolf, Tink, and Rob were sometime after IIRC

According to this, Olimar was announced January 9, and the game came out in Japan on January 31.


edit: Looking at one of the old Brawl threads, the Olimar announcement was used as proof Ridley could be in the game. Good to know some things never change.

I believe someone spotted a debug HP bar in the top left corner. The Dark Pit thing was purely conjecture, though.

Also, the first Famitsu page for Meta Knight is up. His specials seem to work the same as in Brawl, apart from his up-B losing the glide. [Custom] Side B being a shield breaker looks fun.

I wonder if Speed Drill's extra range is worth the trade of not being able to shoot diagonally. Right now I'm leaning towards "yes", if only because it might make Meta Knight even more invincible. Considering how long-range some of the recoveries now are, Speed Drill could be ridiculously good.

I hope the Wii U version retains the Mach Tornado's visual effect from Brawl, because the 3DS version's just looks like a generic particle effect.

I think that's from Sticker Star, but it's still cool.

Bowser's Paper Mario castle on the 64 had the head at the bottom and it was stone instead of metal.

Erupting Plug looks more useful and I can never say no to fire, but Exploding Plug looks hilarious. I see myself changing between both depending entirely on how I feel that day and never seeing the normal Fire Hydrant because that's just boring.

Since we only get one every few years I'm always bummed when it happens with Smash. But I always love when this happens for a new Pokemon gen because more than any other franchise there will always be an varying array of disappointment from gamers. There's the ones who freak out about game length whenever the first reports about someone "beating" the game come in. The ones who call the latest batch of legendary 'mons the worst ones yet.

My favorite are the ones who will vehemently deny that the final forms for the starters are real when the actual final evolutions are leaked through text descriptions amidst a bevvy of false ones.

My favourite Pokemon leaks are when people try to draw the evolutions of the new starters and end up being completely wrong in every way.

Some of those fake evolutions come off as way better than the originals, admittedly. Like the wise old bubblebeard fake Froakie versus Strider Hiryu as a frog or just about anything versus Chesnaught (I like the big guy, but he's just not anywhere near what he could be).

I liked Wolf, and would be disappointed if he was cut in favor of... Doctor Mario again.

If the leak is false, and Wolf does make his way back, I hope he sounds less like Foghorn Leghorn and more like he did in SF64.

Wolf was one of my most played characters. I'd be ok with him not returning as long as some character gets his A moves.
I don't care if it's wolf or not, I just want his move set to return.

It's only been confirmed for 3DS so far, so I wouldn't necessarily expect it for Wii U. The concept is that it will be a transforming stage where settings from all four PM games will pop up at intervals.
