    Guess this will add to the chances of having an animal crossing character in brawl.

    Hmm looks like it might be a bit tall for an Animal Crosser. Great find though MuffinMan.

    Lol, I was thinking the same thing with the Yellow alloy, Muffin. xD
    This pretty much shifted my opinion with an Animal Crosser joining Brawl.

    EDIT:
    Now I'm not so sure, smashboards made an excellent point when they said that Yellow Alloy resembles Mario except for the horns, maybe the horns are there as a definitive feature? Red has the shoulder pads, Blue has the girlish looks and ponytail, and green has, well, a Kirby feel to him. If Yellow is supposed to simply resemble Mario, and Mario is simply just a person with no definitive features, (except his nose, but that would get in the way of his face) maybe that's all they really could think of...
    Also, if it was supposed to be an Animal Crosser, wouldn't they give him a bigger head?
    Another thing is this:

    Notice how the Yellow Alloy is falling in that pic when compared to Mario falling in Brawl:
    [​IMG]
    Similarity?

    EDIT: EDIT:
    Another intriguing thing I found:
    [​IMG]
    That is the cover of another game Sakurai made, see any resemblance with Yellow Alloy? Maybe Sakurai just wanted to throw him in there as a cameo.

    Smashboard's speculation is ******ed half the time, they were disputing the angles at which the Blue Allow's wrist was in order to ascertain if it had a similar falling animation to Zelda or to ZSS or Peach. They were disputing arm angles in falling animations from still screenshots

    And the Yellow's head is very large, it's much bigger than Mario's in the same screenshot

    I'm not saying your theory is wrong, I just believe their theory more, it's only retarted because you don't believe it. I think it would make sense, just as much as your Animal Crosser theory.

    No, I meant that they try and analyze and ascertain things we can't even tell with the information we're given. How can you dispute wrist angles of a falling animation in a still screenshot

    We have a still screenshot of Yellow Alloy, and several characters share the same falling animation in Super Smash Bros, until we see Yellow Alloy in action we can't say he has Mario's falling animation, because it's a still screenshot of Yellow Alloy...what, does his arm position make it Mario?

    Edit 5 hour later:

    >.> I dunno, I'm usually the biggest pessimist about Brawl among Smash fans, I'm always the one to tell everyone not to go out with outrageous hopes for the game, convincing people to lower their expectations and have more realistic outlook on what probably will/won't be in the game.

    However, Animal Crosser as a character is one of the few things I've actually let myself have hope for <.< so when something like this raises my hopes for that actually happening only to have to accept that it's referencing something else >.> it just makes me have a more pessimistic outlook

    *lowers his predicted Brawl roster from 30 to 25 characters* ;_;

    So, Pikmin is Icon #22, and we still have no idea wtf Icon #19 and Icon #13 are, hmm.

    The Dojo has 10 updates until the Japanese release to reveal them to me >=D

    Olimar is pretty awesome. I'm just wondering what his fighting style will be though.

    Probably using the Pikmin as weapons like a bat. =P

    Seems very un-Pikmin-like (lol making up words) but I guess it would work. :P

    The bottom left one has him holding one like he is about to use it for something, so it was just a guess. XD

    Well, just taking an excerpt from the actual update: "Without Pikmin, Olimar can’t even do a Smash Attack."

    I think it's safe to say that Olimar uses them in some manner to attack (at least for his smashes). DA's statement of using one as a bat is quite possible. It might be his forward smash (and by the looks of it, Olimar might use Pikmin for his NAir or FAir).

    I'm expecting a bit of Ice Climbers in Olimar

    Outside of Smash Attacks and B-moves (besides neutral-B) being reliant on Pikmin, I think that normal A combos will be able to be performed as Olimar without Pikmin, however they are just significantly weaker, smaller range, less priority, etc. than if you had 1 or more Pikmin with you (Like Ice Climbers, stronger with the other, weaker [but capable] without)

    So like, Dash-A for Olimar might be a head-first dive/slide into the opponent (Like SlipnSlide =P), that atleast gets the job done as Olimar without Pikmin, but if you've got 1 or more Pikmin (Does more Pikmin = more damage, I wonder?), then the Pikmin slide with you for more damage, or they sit on your back as you slide for a bigger hit, or maybe Olimar caries 2 Pikmin in each hand and swipes with them like swords as he's sliding forward, etc.

    Woo Snakes Final Smash.

    Seems like a good idea, nothing spectacular, but I can't wait to use it. =D

    Hmm interesting. I was half expecting Olimar's moves or a Pikmin stage today. >.> Oh well, this will do.
