If they evened every franchise's representatives, then the game would be 100+ characters just to match the Mario Franchise.
They might decide that Kirby and Metanight are good enough representatives for the Kirby series.
i think those two are enough now and Dedede should be saved for next time.
mario will always have the largest group of characters to rep the series, followed by pokemon.
Maybe.
Pokemon will be the second biggest but it will never be as big as the amount of Mario characters.
well yea, in SSB it was equal, and in Melee it was 5 to 4
spider man in brawl FTW! and maybe venom too!

jk
i'm actualllt gonna see spider-man 3 at the midnight release.
on topic: manga characters have already been said will not be in Brawl.
They were just kidding about the whole Spiderman thing, although i wouldn't mind if he really was.
OT: I got tickets already for Friday-night.
I'd prefer Ike in SSBB. He's stronger than all of the other lords, and not only was he on the GC but he's going to be on the Wii, I can almost be sure in myself when I say that he will be in SSBB.

i know they were kidding, but i waas just saying ahead of time for any other suggestions that would include characters under that category. DBZ characters for instance
DBZ Already have there baller games, so they shouldnt be in this one. =P
yea like jumper, which i wanna try. hope the bring it to NA.
but anyways, now that i think about it 40 characters is a lot.
I think Sigurd is more deserving than Ike.
But I think there's room for Marth, Roy, Ike and Sigurd.
what the male and female lords that were on the same box arrt together?
What?
Marth (FE1+3) - NES
Sigurd (FE4) - SNES
Roy (FE6) - GBA
Ike (FE9+10) - GCN/Wii
They cover all console generations. And are good characters.
seems to me like sigurd should have been in the game first due to when they came out. the oldest have more of a privilage
OT: i saw spider man 3! and **************************** dies
im not mean enough to spoil it for u guys

then use a spoiler
anyway its May, so a new charecter will be revealed soon.
Hopefully, I'm really anxious to see who it is.
when it was posted, the it was the april/may issue so it should be in the may/june issue.
