Rumorbot: A Torrent of SSBB Leaked Info

Looks like I was being something of a stick-in-the-mud yesterday, waiting for more certain confirmation of new characters and stages in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. New screens that sure seem to be legit have surfaced that have not only confirmed the items I was hesitant to confirm yesterday, but have also confirmed a slew of other SSBB info. Here's some shots below:



You'll notice some unannounced characters in the screenshot above, including:
Jigglypuff
Ganondorf
Falco
Windwaker Link (Toon Link)
Luigi
Mr Game & Watch
Captain Falcon
R.O.B. (Robotic Operating Buddy)

Unless Nintendo isn't nearly as OCD as I am, it looks like there's room for one more in that bottom row of characters, but, assuming these are all reliable, this accounts for just about everybody in the game.

As for stages:

Green Hill Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog)


Link's Ship (Windwaker)


Port City (F-Zero)


Mario Bros.


If you're done drooling you can check out Kotaku's article on the new info over here.

Rumorbot: New Smash Bros Info revealed in leaked intro?

If you're one of those failures at life that think learning some information that you would have found out within the first 12 seconds of playing the game counts as a spoiler, you'd do well to skip this bit. For all the rest of us:

A new trailer has set the Super Smash Bros Brawl (SSBB) fan community aflame today as the interwebs are flooded with nearly baseless speculation flying from all directions. Here's a few:

Ness and Marth are returning to Smash Bros!!



Though there is no SSBB update I'd like to hear more, Ness is still unconfirmed. Unfortunately, so is Marth. I hate to urinate on your picnic but, yes, the video does make it look like they're playable, but it's possible that Ness and Marth will simply be assist trophies or parts of the game's new storyline - not playable. Until we hear otherwise from the SSBB Dojo, it's all just speculation. After all, these guys are in the video too and they aren't playable:



Green Hill Zone is a playable stage!!


Like above, nothing has been confirmed in regards to Green Hill Zone being a playable stage. Though it would be nice, and downright likely, there's still no confirmation. The shot of Green Hill in the intro could simply have been rendered for the movie to show Sonic in his natural habitat.

Those are the big ones - check out the video below and I'm sure you'll be able to find more to get yourself excited over.
