A Hoax, but cool anyways.

[Hi no Seijin]

Heh heh, the moon was made a character to play as.  Wonder how that would work out.  Up+B--Crash.  Everyone on the field flies off.  All their lives are taken away. :P

It would be neat if they had Skull Kid wearing Majora's Mask and a Gerudo as playable characters in the Smash series, though.  I think I'd be switching between the two.  And maybe Roy.

[DW]

heh, you can tell which ones are fake because the graphics are way off...I wish the rumor about sonic and tails on Melee was true...

[LadyNintendo]

A Gerudo IS a playable character! What do you think Ganondorf is?

It's a nice list, but I hope the real thing is gonna have a few lesser known individuals. I've gotten Geist a few days ago and I'd love to see Raimi in the new SSB. Pauline and Stan would be funny and I really hope Dedede is gonna be in it. Maybe Mike Jones or R.O.B. or Takamaru.

Or Tom Nook :):

I'm a little scared the introduction of "not-nintendo characters" is gonna make it a lot less likely the lesser known stuff gets any attention.

They forgot SNAKE!!  >:( >:( >:(

ITS TINGLE, HEAD FOR THE HILLS!!!

HULK SMASH!

[Gamefreak]

That's good.  

The picture's ok, but I wonder what if any attacks some of the characters would have, like Navi.  She's going to tell you who your enemy is.

[oh-how-unreal]

i like the fake pic

[DW]

anybody realize James Bond and SPiderman was there? yeah, you can tell it's fake. I hope Megaman really is there though.

[darkphantomime]

Too bad they're only planning to include two or three third party characters besides Snake. James Bond has too many license problems to have this kind of thing sooo...

What would be really nice is to have some capcom characters like Megaman and Maybe X or Zero. Square's Moogle would be rather interesting too...

[MagmarFire]

It would be so awesome if you could play as Master Hand without resorting to a cheating device. It would surely be deadly if you mastered it. :P

I heard somewhere that they were planning to use Sora from the KH series in the next installment. I hope that this is true. :D

[JDog]

It would be sweet to play as luke skywalker and darth vader... didn't nintendo make some start wars games for the gamecube?

[darkphantomime]

LUCASARTS made the games. Rogue squadron 2 and 3, both really detailed space fighters in the  vein of starfox. Haven't played either though...

ANd  140 characters? Isn't that a bit much? I mean... they had enough trouble cramming 26. I estimate that they'll likely go to about 40 or maybe even 45. But they'll probably drop a few of the clones and pokemon. One idea that's been going around is including Cel shaded Link and dropping young link. We don't need anymore freakin' clones.

Also, I heard that they were completely redesigning the way the characters attack, even making air battles a more functional feature...

[JDog]

You know what would be cool, is to have tingle in this game, so link could get revenge on him!

[DW]

umm....no.The Star wars gamecube games were great. adn I don't think cel-shaded Link will be in it, it's just too weird. I heard there may be a character called laughing dog...I doubt they are going to drop any characters though.

[Hi no Seijin]

You know what would be cool, is to have tingle in this game, so link could get revenge on him!

What is there to get revenge on?  Sure, he's a bit pricey in TWW, but Tingle can economically justify his prices if you stop to think about it (probably wouldn't hurt to learn about economics if you haven't learned about it).  And how do you explain Zelda whooping on Link?  What wrong has Link done to her?
