Indeed... I mean, Pikmin is going to show in Brawl one way or the other - no doubt. I don't think Olimar will be a playable character though, but rather an assist trophy. His size kind of... well... defeats any hope for him as a playable.
OMG HE CUD BE RESIZED!!!!1
Ridley was like top 3 most requested character. Boss or not, he WILL be in.
I think people are forgetting that Smash Bros' theme is supposed to be that all the characters are toys. If you ask me, the trophies all look about the same size. Also, Ice Climbers were probably originally meant at normal-sized inuit people, but theyre munchkins in Smash Bros. Size doesn't matter.
One more thing, Kirby can suck up Dedede and take his power. That means Sakurai is willing to make changes to the characters from their original games, in sight of the bigger picture.
I'm assuming Olimar will be in too, I always thought of him has having a "waddle-dee" type pikmin move, throwing pikmin around. Since he and Ray 01 (Custom Robo) are main characters from two of the biggest unused franchises that Nintendo has, I'm really hoping they both make it. Sure, bringing back oldass video game characters is cool, and we all like the 3rd party characters, but I appreciate the "Nintendo AllStars" feel a lot.Krystal would be good too. As good as it is to have another girl character, I'd rather have one that isn't just female-fox.
