Oh Liquid Snake would be an amazing character to go in that game he is amazing.
Also Riley I would love to see.

This game is going to be amazing.

All i know is brawl will kick ass, even though i have a ps3.

Ehh..Considering they've allready got 24 characters they're pretty much done. Most likely they'll throw in four or five characters and no more. Balloon Fighter was really old, but i don't think they'll put him in. He doesn't really have a move to base off of, unlike Captain Falcon (who had falcon punch in the anime.) Same goes for the others, and Black Shadow will probably be a clone.

For the veterans, Ness is probably going to be replaced by Lucas. Luigi, Captain Falcon and Jigglypuff have a chance. I too, feel those three are going to be in.

Your bosses make alot of sense. Ridley would defenitley serve as a fun boss to go agaisnt. Who doesn't love flying bosses? Liquid Snake. Another must. And who doesn't love Stealth bosses? Robotinik.. Well, you know. Who doesn't love machine swapping bosses. My guess is he'll be in different machines in different areas. GO BRAWL!

Well actually, Ness is leaving. Lucas is proof of that. Sakurai said he would remove clones, and Lucas has a very similar moveset to Lucas. I'm putting my money on his leaving. Also, since Roy was simply put in for advertisement reasons, and he is a clone of Marth, he should be going. Marth may return because it's been revealed that Ike is a totally different character-type with a completely differen t moveset. I see you didn't include either.
While nothing is straight-down confirmed, there's been talk from the developers about how they love Sheik's Twilight-Princess style render. I hate sheik, but she's pretty much returning.
Just thought I'd share my thoughts.

^^ I'm happy that you said that.

FIFTY!? ARE YOU CRAZY!? Have you even looked at the Character Selection Screen?

Look how tiny that is! Melee didn't even have Fifty. And the Secret Characters we're shown and confirmed, but not known how to unlock them. Melee had 30 (i think) anyways.

Sheik was already shown, i don't remember the site but it's one dedicated to Brawl. I believe it was shown at JumpFiesta.

The mystery is over, I just told you every character that will be in it.

Heres all the proof you need. Look at that tiny screen!

Theres no way they're going to merge Melee with newcomers. Undoubtly, they are going to kick some characters... Theres too many characters! Ahh! OVERFLOW!

Ah. Carbonwater..have you ever noticed that Mortal Kombat Armageddon / Marvel vs Capcom 2 WAS NOT FOUR PLAYER!?

Both of them were TWO player. Brawl is FOUR player. Think, Marvel vs Capcom 2. Fifty characters. Except with FOUR selectors. Everything would be SQUASHED.

Im not going to back down just yet. And http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b Zpiw1CPNw&feature=related turned out to be a malformed video ID. What the?

'That was a demo of the game, lol.
The real character screen could change drastically.'.

Oh really? 24 characters is alot. They're pretty much near finished you know. Besides. Check out www.brawlcentral.com. They get translations from Whobby 2008 (People who host a tournament in Japan every day.) and then, translate them to real info. Japan's brawl releases on the 24th (Janurary), and its getting nearer and nearer to the 24th. I don't they're going to totally change the real character selection screen into hardcore black or something.

So does this mean i win?

-sigh-
I might as well give up too. We can only wait and see.
But i still think im right. :P

Mostly all of these characters won't be in the game.
(Ballon FIght? Come on!)

Well, check it out! :D

You forget my old prediction: Resident Evil 4's Dr. Salvador (http://ltmcmuffin.newgrounds.com/news /post/6924)
And there will be an enormous amount, MooMooFoot. They won't show and confirm all characters in advance! What's his name of SmashBros.com said that they worried online play would be ruining the surprise of unlockable characters (they allowed it anyway)... but this implies he is worried hidden characters will be discovered before one has the chance to unlock them, meaning he won't announce everything.
Glad I found someone else who checks the site religiously haha ^^
I always wanted a Majora's Mask link. One whose Down B would let him transform between Deku, Goron, or Zora... it would kick ass but I doubt it will ever happen.

I would like to see E. Gadd from Luigi's Mansion. I think he would be rather good in it. I think the Pikmin characters will be good aswell.

They're going to push back the date again. There's no way they'll get everything done by Feb.

I stopped going to dojo when they announced snakes final smash

1. Robotnik is so much better then the moronic "Eggman" name...
2. Balloon Fighter might be better of as an AT.
3. Tails and Knuckles as ATs, and we get a Paper Mario stage.

Sometimes, I doubt if my life is interesting...

My prediction is Carbonwater.

They're using twilight princess Zelda, so I don't think sheik will appear, especially considering that zero suit samus is pretty much a replacement (whip, agile, chargeable projectile attack, etc.)

jigglypuff is a great character fu. I used him (or her.. or it) as a sandbag. His/Her/Its stats say that he lost 1045 times. I used to be quite a player back in 03.

Jigglypuff was actually a really powerful character. A lot of people will be let down if she's not in.

Sheik definitely not. All time most cheap. You don't have to be good to win with her. Also, she can't be Twilight Princess Zelda's b-down...it's two separate people. It would never work. I want them to retry ganondorf, not as a falcon clone with new moves and his twlight Princess look. Game and watch, idc, I don't want him, wasn't that great in Melee, not many people loved him.

can't wait for this game, less than a month away!

Since they already have Sonic, Knuckles would be cool. But he probably won't make it. I agrey with the robotnik thing. But balloon fighters probably won't happen. Also Lil'mac and Exite bike deserve to be full chactors not assist.

I heard there were going to be a shit load of characters. lol. I always felt so...optionless when it came to the characters on Melee, and it's be awesome to see a hell of a lot more. I'm glad Sonic's in it though. (STFU, furry haters!) As well as Snake. I think Olimar and Pokemon Trainer's gonna be confusing though. And yeah, I agree that they haven't listed the secret characters. I mean what's the point of calling them secret characters if we're TOLD what they are? Lol. Anywway, I agree with your predictions. Especially with Liquid being a boss. It'd feel so right.

If they create a character model for a boss battle, why wouldn't they just include that same character in the game? It would require almost no effort. Master Hand would be the exception of course.

lmao

Brawl Dev: Hey Sakurai, we really want to add in these characters, I think people would enjoy them a lot.

Sakurai: Can't do it.

Brawl Dev: Why not?

Sakurai: The character select screen can't handle them.

Brawl Dev: WOOOAH. I completely forgot about the CHARACTER SELECT SCREEN. It's SOOO important to the fun of the game. I mean, I had great ideas for these extra 10 or so characters, but we can't compromise the quality and consistency of the CHARACTER SELECT SCREEN. It simple couldn't HANDLE 50 or so characters.

Sakurai: That's exactly what I was thinking. I guess people won't be seeing Mega Man and WindWaker Link this time around.

Brawl Dev: Rightfully so, boss.

pretty neat predictions there....though i do have one problem with it
you said Ness would probably be in, but on the Brawl website, they state explicitly enough that Ness will not be in Brawl

"Wow, you just went to Wikipedia and copyed the character list.
You must feel so proud."

That's exactly what I did.

they'd be more likely to add samarai goro as a player but he's a A.S. They wont put in mewtwo or pichu like u said because their from older movies and stuff. Luigi would work because instead of the F.L.U.DD he'd have a vacume. Ganondorf wouldn't be a clone and his final smash would be ganon.

I'm look at the site every day too and I play melee after that (yes i have a lot of spare time.).

my prediction is definitely paper mario (not the new one from super paper mario the other one) he would have a completely different moveset with his numerous hammer techniques and spring jump, but anyhow you're right im sure your predictions will become true (or most of them)

Balloon Fighter seems like a better AT than playable. I would like to see more Earthbound and Fire Emblem characters in Brawl. If you can have a Mario v Bowser, a Link v Ganondorf, and a Kirby v Dedede, what's stopping you from having an Ike v Black Knight? And a Heavily Armed Pokey would be an awesome boss fight. Liquid would have to be in REX or he'd be a Snake alternate costume. Back to Earthbound, I would LOVE to see Paula and Poo in Brawl (even as an alt costume for Ness or Lucas) and if Jeff were playable, I would crap my pants, take a picture, and put it on the internet. No arguement over your boss fight and returning veteran picks. And although I would prefer Bomberman over Megaman in Brawl, putting the Blue Bomber in Brawl would fail to disappoint me.

What exactly is so bad about Jigglypuff? It was one of the most powerful characters in either game. And I don't understand how Balloon Fighter can possibly be a character. The only way to make him work is to turn him into a extremely light Kirby! I highly doubt Sheik will be in it either for what I hope are obvious reasons.

By the way, thanks for giving Eggman's first name. I've been wondering that for a while.

I agree with some of what you said, heres what

balloon fighter, no (assist trophy mybe, but not playable)

Mega Man, mixed (i never liked the thought nor fact that there will be 3rd party
stuff in Smash, but i'll not complain)

King K Rool, yes (as a boss, not playable)

Ridley, definitly (again as a boss charcter or assist trophy)

Black Shadow, yes( i'd like him more as a playable character then Goro)

Cell-Shaded Link, mixed (i think instead they should create a mode that would let you play in certain graphics like 8-bit, epic n64, cell shaded, ect)

Eggman and Liquid Snake, no (again, i don't like the third party but i'm not arguing)

My veteran list
All characters return as playable characters with their own move set ( no clones) except, get rid of Pichu, Jigglypuff and make Game and Watch a Assist trophy.

Charcters i'd like to see

Kalas-Baten Kaitos Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean (i don't necessarily deem him as third party cuz his game was only released on the gamecube)

Sagi and Guillo- Baten Kaitos Origins (Ditto)

Link able to transform into wolf

Isaac and Felix-Golden Sun series (again, only released on a nintendo system so i don't see those as third party compared to sonic and snake but hey, thats me)

you cant kill liquid...
