If I recall correctly, Sakurai said there would be a max of three third-party characters in Brawl since he wanted to keep the focus on Nintendo. We already have two characters that are pretty epic...will there be a third? Personally, I'm skeptical.
If my vote counted I would give it to one of the epic vampire slayers from the Castlevania series, though the popular vote seems to be Mega Man. Inafune said he wasn't in Brawl a few months ago...I doubt they had enough time to put him in, and why they would wait so long to add him would be beyond me. Mega Man is probably out, in my opinion. If it isn't Mega Man, who do you think the most likely candidate is for that third slot, or do you think they just stuck with Snake and Sonic in the end?

If I had to guess I suppose I would go with megaman like everyone else.
I mean who else could it be? If it's not him, Megaman deserves to go shootin everyone up at Nintendo....cept Miyamoto.
I had serious SERIOUS thoughts of a revamped Simon Belmont. or at least the Simon design from the PS1 Remake Castlevania Chronicles.
I think there are at least six unlockable characters, four of which will be returning from Smash 64/Melee.
That leaves at least two more...in my opinion, possibly even more. Melee had 26, though some of those were clones. Right now Brawl has 24 original characters so it's still a lot but Sakurai loves putting in secret characters, so I don't see why he would reveal the whole roster.
Also, he said that playing online will reveal secret characters you haven't unlocked yet...so we know there is more to see.
I know that just sounds stupid but how many times was Sonic denied? They say no cause they have to cause afradadums that I can't spell and legal agreements on who gets to announce what and when.
Good points.
There are third-party assist trophies. So far we have:
Saki Amamiya
Stafy
Dr. Wright
Gray Fox
and gaz from COD4.....
Trust me i have very reliable sources.
I meant to type "some more 3rd party assist trophies". Unfortunately, my fingers were uncooperative. I've had assist trophies on mind since last weekend when my friend and I were discussing what we thought some interesting ones would be.
I'm sure he probably saved a few surprise third-party assist trophies for us...hopefully! Either way I'm pretty damn pleased with the game as it is, not counting all the levels, characters, Pokemon, trophies, etc. that we have yet to see. This game is epic through and through.
and i'm sure most of the online expanding is mainly cause of those damn long ass friend codes.
I think the generic mode where you have no contact with anyone and can't even tell if you're playing with a CPU is made of fail.
However I know a ton of people getting Brawl (everyone should) so I'll be adding lots of friends, and that should allow full/normal functionality. I'll just use my Xbox 360 or PC to set up voice chat with my friends ahead of time. Is it a pain in the ass? Yes...but better than nothing!
But really...as much as I don't want people to be like "I told you Mega Man was in it," I have to say Mega Man.
I mean, do you expect Cloud or something?
God I hope Cloud is not in it...that would be horrible.
I did not forgot to add who I thought it'd be outside of MM, I didn't even comment on this blog.
MegaMan would be cool though...
On the realistic side of things, I think Mega Man is still a safe bet, however if all the "He's not in it" talk is true, then I'd go with Viewtiful Joe.
I.e., Sonic has speed, and Snake has stealth and explosives.
I'm with Snail. My money's on Viewtiful Joe.
