Well here you have it folks! We all knew Ness was in, but this pic is just pure badassery!!
And then the one we were all questioning about returning is HERE!
Oh, and that's not all! Here's one more beauty for you all!
And last but not least, a new vid (possibly the game's intro?)!
EDIT: CONFIRMATION THAT MARTH AND NESS IS NOT AN EMISSARY ASSIST CHARACTER!
This image matches up with the previously shown leaked vid of the starting roster, so I am inclined to believe it This also confirms the return of the dark menu background! Perhaps you can customize that option (I always loved Melee's dark background)?
When you compare these two, they match up VERY well. Also note that this roster mockup was made LONG before today's developments. This may be the final roster. And yes, there are some moved to different spots, but that happened in Melee as well. Characters move around when new ones are unlocked. This follows up with the 35-character roster as well.
LUIGI!!! I am inclined to believe this because it matches up with the old leaked roster vid.
EDIT: Replaced the Olimar Kirby pic with the unshoop'd pic.
ZOMG FINAL CUTSCENE SCREEN!!!!
NEGATIVE NANCY: No Capt. to be seen??? Also, they COULD just be Emissary assists and not playable in the main game (didn't include that a sec ago because I wanted to get this post out quickly XP)
Capcom and Squeenix are not listed in the credits and therefore, they are not in Brawl. Also, there will most likely not be another 3rd party character for Brawl as there is not another big 3rd party one listed here. ALTHOUGH they COULD do another one from Sega or Konami, but that would debunk the roster shot above.
EDIT: Okay, DanielMachine just brought up a great point. Apparently, Sega and Konami may only be in the credits shown above because they are shown in the intro vid. He says that INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS wasn't in the credits until Marth was unlocked, so it's possible that those characters will be unlocked later. HOWEVER. This still conflicts with the roster mock-up shown above.
I almost posted this - luckily I checked. I'll give it a "meh," mainly because I would have preferred Hector over Marth - but that never would have happened.
Beat me to it Genki, I was just going to mention the Red Alloy.
But with all this confirmation, are we still led to believe this infamous 35 character roster is true. With the 23 already shown on the dojo and now Ness and Marth, we can assume Falco, Luigi, Jiggly, Cpt. Falcon, Lucario, Game & Watch, and Gannondorf are likely shoe-ins. So does that mean only 3 left?
Man that music is so epic! Does anyone know what language they are speaking? Sounds Latin, certainly not Japanese, but I could be wrong. God stop the tease!
now say viewtiful joe or leon S. Kennedy confirmed and I'll blow up in amazement.
They're singing in Latin. Sakurai said so in an early DOJO update. Also, this delicious info comes from the anals of 4chan's /v/. They say it's on some JP site that requires login. If I can find the link, I will post it.
I wouldn't be so set on that just because Square and Capcom are listed in the video that there will be no character representation from them. The licenses could just cover for who is in the video.
For instance, Intelligent Systems weren't in the Melee opening until Marth was unlocked, and Intelligent Systems are second party.
Okay DanielMachine, you can post whatever else comes up (preferably in here--just want to minimize c-log clogging--I'd definitely update it all into the post in the morning and give you credit, but if you want your own clog, go ahead). I need to rest from all this excitement! @_@
But let me say this before I go to bed to everyone. Most likely, the mock-up list in my post is the real deal.
based on the character select screen, it looks like 35 is going to be the total amount of characters. We've got three rows, seven wide, that's 21. Fill out the bottom row, minus the random spot, and that's 27. Now add four in a column on the left and four in a column on the right and you've got 35.

Also, I liked Lucas more than Ness so far. But sexy SSBB intro is sexy.

THIS VID PROVES IT.

Oh yeah, I fergot to mention that XD
I don't even want this game, but the suspense is killing me.
For instance, Intelligent Systems weren't in the Melee opening until Marth was unlocked, and Intelligent Systems are second party.
This art is way to real to be faked, not blurred, and new.
It's all new art, and I read that that Marth might be from some artwork for Fire Emblem DS.

Not sure if that BBcode worked or not but, yeah. Also sorry dude for barging in on your post, but I figure since you beat me I might as well help out.
Already been posting that stuff, man. XP But thanks anyway.
Lets all f+b are asses off for Marth's return.
But let me say this before I go to bed to everyone. Most likely, the mock-up list in my post is the real deal.
