Sonic Appearing in Smash Bros. Brawl?

Rumors have been flying since the announcement of Smash Bros. Brawl that Sonic the Hedgehog would finally be joining the ranks of the popular fighting game. Unfortunately, it’s been hard to take them seriously since the same rumors cropped up for Smash Bros. Melee. However now it seems an EB Games in Woodbridge, NJ is displaying a pre-order ad for the game that shows Sonic standing shoulder to shoulder with Nintendo’s finest. The image also show Birdo from Super Mario Bros. 2 and K.K. Slider from Animal Crossing. A store employee was quick to point out that it’s just a mock-up for the game’s box art, but that looks pretty professional for something someone would’ve just slapped together. Usually these sorts of things look like cheap color print outs. And with Sonic and Mario already confirmed to be sharing the spotlight in a game based on the 2008 Olympics, this seems more plausible this time around.

    considering brawl isn’t suposed to come out in places like the uk till early 2008 this is a good theory. Think about it; when the rest of the world finds out that sonic is suposed to be in the game it would increase there anticipation and force them to sit on their money until the games release.
    Like I’ve been doing for a year and a bit…

    Ps. Lucas is in the game, I think he’s replacing ness aswell, although he’d probably have a similar moveset.

  2. Joey says:

    HAH! My brother edited wikipedia today so that sonic was part of the smash bros character list, someone seems to have removed it now though…

  3. omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omfg george i clicked on ur username and it sent me to smash bros .com so tell me this are u the creator of smash bros. ps. if u are let me no if sega aggreed :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz:

  4. I cant wait to see mario getting the shit beaten out of em by espio and sonic :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: please add sonic and espio to brawl :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

  5. Razgriz says:

    Espio? Nah. If they added a second Sonic universe character then it would have to be Shadow. Also George isn’t the creator, he just linked to it if you want to check the news that is posted.

  6. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: b-but i-i l-like Espio :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: are u sure because espio and shadow are pretty evenly matched

  7. cause i’m sure GEorge would aggree

  8. Razgriz says:

    Not that I hate Espio or anything. I really like him though honestly in terms of popularity(as far I as know) Shadow is ranked higher than Espio. I mean Shadow got his game though Espio didn’t. So yeah if Nintendo allowed a clone character of Sonic, then it would be Shadow. Though Shadow wouldn’t be a clone exactly. He could have a moveset similar to Mewtwo’s from Melee.

  9. seriously doesent anybody like espio

  10. a ninja chameleon gets outranked by a stupid lifeform hedgehog between u all and me the only type of pets I HAVE ARE REPTILES :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

  11. Joey says:

    i personaly hope sonic is the only sonic character in it…

  12. sorry guys i sort of got outta hand ps. why only sonic joey i mean how many mushroom people are going to be in it so that wouldnt be fair

  13. @ Naruto the Chemeleon

    I’m not the creator…(I wiss I was though :cry: )

    Plus on the Sonic thing There will only be three 3rd parties…

    Takeaway Snake and you have two left :???:

    So I would’nt count on more than Sonic to be in Brawl (maybe it will happen in the next SMash bros but IDK)

    I would expect Sonic and Megaman…

  14. sorry bout that george i was getting too excited but still it isn’t fair that sonic will be the only sonic team character i mean i still will always want espio rather than shadow

  15. and take away Lucas that only leads to one character.and theres only one person to take that spot :???: :shock: :???: :shock: :shock: :???: :shock: :???: :shock: :???: :shock:

  16. oh and sorry dude[george]the second part was taken by Lucas

  17. Nicholas Long says:

    I cant belive that gamespot fell for this ruse.
    THIS IS NOT,REPAET,NOT THE BOX ART!
    Its a god dam fake.
    This is easily confirmed…
    Firstly, K.K. IS NOT A GOD DAM PLAYABLE CHARETER.
    Secondly, Rayman was never confirmed.
    Thirdly…
    That was a preeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    eeeeeeeeeee
    eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    eeeeeeeeeeeeeetty god dam pathic effort to add sonic right there. I mean come on, they just riped it form elsewhere.
    Fourthly…
    THATS NOT WHAT NON ZERO SUIT SAMUS LOOKS LIKE IN BRAWL!
    And lastly…
    Peety is NOT a chareter.

  18. Joey says:

    Lucas isn’t a third party character, but the third space (if there actually is one(which I doubt)) will probably be filled by megaman. As for other sonic characters narutothecameleon, Smash bros is a nintendo game and even if sonic isn’t in it it will still be awesome, I just don’t think people truly appriciate how lucky they would be if sonic is in the game. People are getting a little greedy with all the characters they think are going to be in the game. I mean, masahiro sakurai likes to be careful with the Nintendo characters he puts in, let alone third party ones…

  19. Joey says:

    Nicholas long, before you start making coments like that consider the facts:
    FIRSTLY-Petety is a character ya dumbass.
    SECONDLY-the reason all the pictures of characters are taken from other games is because the creators of this boxart have already admitted that this was to stir up intrest in the game for preorders, which you already would have known if you bothered to read the information at the top of the page.
    AND LASTLY-That’s some preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeety bad spelling you got there!

    ps. I’ll let you make sucky comments like that when you go and find me some real proof that sonic is, or is not, in the game.

  20. blader says:

    ok people you know what im tired of, ” shadow and silver should be in brawl to” or stuff like “sonic and shadow hould be in brawl” wtf? why does shadow need to be in brawl,
    shadow is sonic segas masot. shadow is not mario’s rival, shadow has’nt been a video game legend for about 16 years,Sonic deserves to be in brawl. if anyone else should be a third party charecter in brawl it should be (and don’t hate me for this) tails,beccause (beside’s eggman) tails is the first other charecter of the game serise. plus tails should have a chance to shine,

    clossing comments: look all im saying is big time charecters thrid party charecters should be in brawl, i really hope the thrid party cast is, snake,sonic,megaman

  21. blader says:

    crap, i know mest up the grammar on my last comment but you get the piont right

  22. Joey says:

    blader pretty much hit the nail on the head

  23. :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?: :mrgreen: :neutral: :twisted: :arrow: :shock: :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :idea: :oops: :razz: :roll: :wink: :cry: :eek: :lol: :mad: :sad: :!: :?:

    WHew… (that took me about 5 Hrs…) Sorry i was bored

  24. wat are you talking about ya stupid prick[joey] if ya dont believe me on Lucas as a third party character look on the brawl website and petey is a boss on adventure mode oh and blader why should tails he never had his own game we should hold a contest between espio shadow tails and silver. and besides i put my difficulty on super hard in sonic heroes and i kicked shadows ass with espio bout like 15 times

  25. Ummmm… Naruto the Chameleon…. Do you know what a 3rd party character is?

    Lucas is from earthbound AkA from the Ness series… HE is with Nintendo.

    SO therefore he is not 3rd party…

  26. Nicholas Long says:

    Joey, firstly your a idiot. Petety is a boss.
    Secondly, i was posting my 2 cents.
    Thirdly, LRN2TROLLPROPERLY!

  27. hey i now wat we can do we can sing nancey’s mom is a stupid bitch in D minor

  28. Joey says:

    If you had made your point more clear Nicholas Long by saying something like “uh, Petey isn’t in the playable roster, but I’m gunna make a point of somethin’ that has been made blatantly obvious anyway,” I might not have got so pissed off.

  29. Joey says:

    Naruto the chameleon, blader’s completely right about the whole Sonic clone situation thing. Also, Tails has had a couple of his own games, both of which were alot better than Shadow the hedgehog, don’t get me wrong though, they were still crappy games.
    I’m not trying to start an argument, I just don’t think other sonic characters are as deserving as sonic himself…

    ps. I never managed to get superhard difficulty on heroes, is it worth getting all those A’s? ’cause if not i’d rather play on Sa2

  30. ur lucky i only have sa1 and sa3 and yes it was worth it because u can play on super difficulty and u can play as m-sonic’s team and don’t believe people on some websites joey the members are metal sonic mecha knux and metal tails

  31. cmon lets sing it negative nancey’s mom is a stupid bitch

  32. yo guys u wanna play sonic robo blast 2 if u hav it u wanna know where to get it go to srb2 .org go to download
    pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssse my server is srb2 server

  33. RedIcarus says:

    Confirmed!

    Sonic officially joins the Brawl!

    http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/sonic.html

  34. Joelteon7 says:

    Wow, things to wonder:

    1) From the ending of the clip…I think it’s pretty easy to guess what his special attack will be. Sweet. (…Super Sonic)

    2) What will his themed level be? Will he get one? If so, my betting is on Green Hill.

    3) Sonic is in Brawl. Yay. Yay. Yay. Yay. Yay.

    Found this one out only 5 minutes before I saw that comment, but, no, the fact he’s been added to the Dojo and been given a 55 second trailer probably certifies him in there.

  35. yes says:

    sonic i s in brwl i knewq it

  36. jokestar says:

    sonic finally in brawl

  37. Joey says:

    HAHAHA…
    Now we can rename this page “megaman in brawl?”… just kidding, I suppose it dosn’t take 3 guesses to work out what his final smash is…

  38. YAH

    SONIC 4 BRAWL = ALot of $ for nintendo… If ya now waht i mean :lol:

    IM GOING TO CELEBRATE!
    :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

  39. Chris says:

    Well, it has been confirmed by smashbros.com that sonic WILL be on SSBB

  40. jacob says:

    IT’S TRUE! I saw him on the smash website! IT AIN’T NO FAKE! IT’S REAL! unlike Waluigi in Super Mario 64 DS.

  41. blader says:

    sonic is in brawl YES i just hope to god that sonic is the only charecter from the sonic universe thats in it, Yes i mean no shadow no silver no knuckelsno tails no anybody just sonic, well mabye tails and im not sayign this becuse i really liek tails (to be honest i don’t) but i think tails deserves a chance to shine

  42. Razgriz says:

    Whoo hoo! Yes it’s been confirmed and announced. Sonic is ready to kick butt in Brawl. Now I wonder if Megaman becomes playable in Brawl.

  43. jon says:

    :evil: SONIC IS STUPID.

    jk, Nah, pretty exciting right people? February…is the release date right..?

  44. Sonic is right-period says:

    Tails and Knuckles maybe assist trophies!Shadow will probably be a clone of sonic but will not be able to turn super as a supershadow!
