This was taken from the previously mentioned Japanese blog, and translated by one of the 2ch users into English (so the English isn't perfect). Enjoy.

First of all, I want to say the characters which have been cut from the Melee roster and will not appear in Brawl as playable.
Spoiler Below

- Pichu (Cut completely, returns only as Trophy and Sticker)
- Dr. Mario (Returns as Assist Trophy)

Sorry to all that enjoyed playing as the above characters, but I hope you will be satisfied with the rest of the Brawl roster.

This is the list of the initial roster, who you can play as right when you first start the game.
- Mario
- Bowser
- Peach
- Wario
- Yoshi
- Link
- Zelda
- Pikachu
- Pokemon Trainer
- Samus
- Kirby
- King Dedede
- Meta Knight
- Fox
- Pit
- Ike
- Donkey Kong
- Diddy Kong
- Captain Falcon
- Ice Climbers
- Lucas
- Pikmin & Olimar
- Sonic
- Snake

As you can see from the above list, Captain Falcon is the only character that is not shown on the website yet and every character shown is default. Spoiler Below

Zero Suit Samus is first only playable when using Samus Final Smash, but can later be unlocked to be played at any time.

The below list is a list of all characters that must be unlocked, this is the final roster, and we are sorry if your favorite character did not make the cut.

Spoiler Below

- Luigi
- Bowser Jr./Shadow Mario (Changes like Zelda in SSBM)
- Baby Mario & Luigi
- Geno
- Young Link (Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass version, is not a clone of default Link)
- Wolf Link & Midna
- Ganondorf (Has own moveset, is not a clone)
- Shiek (Seperate character from Zelda)
- Vaati
- Mewtwo
- Pokemon Rival (Turtwig, Croconaw and Blaziken)
- Lucario
- Jigglypuff
- Zero Suit Samus (Unlocked to be selected apart from Samus)
- Ridley
- Falco (Has own moveset, is not a clone)
- Krystal
- Ness (Has own moveset, is not a clone)
- Animal Crosser
- Marth
- Roy
- K.Rool
- Black Shadow
- Sukapon
- Mr. Game & Watch
- Takamaru
- Ray 01
- Andy
- Mii (Looks like your Mii! Weight and size differ, but attacks are always same)

What do you think of this? I think its a reasonable roster, although some of the characters seem a little odd.

Perrin Aybara · 01-09-2008, 08:19 PM

Holy ****.

That's one hell of a list.

I almost find it too hard to believe some of them.

Spoiler Below

Geno??? Talk about out of left field. Wow.

-jay

**Valigarmander** · 01-09-2008, 08:26 PM

Spoiler Below

If Geno's in the game, I will need a new pair of pants.

Probably several.

Eagle Eye · 01-09-2008, 08:32 PM

I shouldn't have read that cause now I want this game even more.

Spoiler Below

Geno, Vaati and Krystal are the three that interest me the most

Perrin Aybara · 01-09-2008, 08:35 PM

I may need to borrow some of yours.-jay

**Valigarmander** · 01-09-2008, 08:43 PM

I highly distrust the authenticity of the list, though.

The game's released in Japan on the 24th. When that happens, there are no more secrets.

Microphone_Kirby · 01-09-2008, 08:44 PM

Well, I'm more interested in what some of those character's moves would be,

Spoiler Below

like Vatti, Wolf Link & Midna, Baby Mario and Luigi, the Mii, and Black Shadow.

Although for some of those Characters, I went: YEAH!!!!!!! ^_^

ZeldaGirl · 01-09-2008, 08:51 PM

I'm not buying into this.

Spoiler Below

Um, HOW many Zelda characters was that? Sorry, it seems a little bit excessive...

And Luigi is listed TWICE.

And sorry, with the inclusion of Ike, I have a hard time believe Roy and Marth are in...I mean, Ike looks like the two of them in one body.

Again, HOW MANY ZELDA CHARACTERS? Really excessive.

I dunno, I don't believe it.

Perrin Aybara · 01-09-2008, 08:55 PM

I saw him only listed once.

But yeah, I kinda agree with you that there are things about this which makes the list too hard to believe. They added enough to make it seem believable, but...

Spoiler Below

Geno? Come on... No way.

And yeah, some of the Zelda characters seem too hard to believe. Vaati?

-jay

**Valigarmander** · 01-09-2008, 08:56 PM

^^
Spoiler Below

Luigi is only mentioned once, and again with Baby Mario & Luigi.

ZeldaGirl · 01-09-2008, 08:57 PM

^Ah, sorry, I misread that.

But then again... Spoiler Below

BABY Mario and Luigi? You kidding me?

Perrin Aybara · 01-09-2008, 09:00 PM

^

Spoiler Below

I can sort of see that. Sort of like the Ice Climbers. Plus, Nintendo seems obsessed with Baby Mario and Luigi. (For some odd reason...)

But Geno??? No effing way.

-jay

**Valigarmander** · 01-09-2008, 09:00 PM

^^
Spoiler Below

What's so hard to believe about that? They'd probably be a team like Ice Climbers.

And if they can drive a racing kart and play sport games, they should be able to whoop arse.

Damn it, Jay.

Perrin Aybara · 01-09-2008, 09:13 PM

Anyway, I think the main problem with this list is...50 characters??? I donno... Seems a bit of a stretch. I'm expecting something more like 30.

Sounds like someone just made a list of every fanboy's dream.

Yeah, I think I'm now fully on the side of "doubt it".

-jay

Plus...

Spoiler Below

Geno??? No effing way.

-jay

Totally Kennerson · 01-09-2008, 09:26 PM

Even if it is fake, its still a very good list. All the newcomers I wanted are on it.

Spoiler Below

Ridley, K. Rool, Animal Crosser, and Mii

Yeah sure, some of it may be hard to believe, but who took the Melee roster seriously when it was first leaked?

"Why would there be Mario AND Dr. Mario?"
"I'm sure they would choose a different Pokemon. They're not going to put in Pichu when we already have Pikachu."
"Mr. Game & Watch?? Who the **** is that??"

SephirothKirby · 01-09-2008, 09:38 PM

I do seriously doubt this list.

But really, who the hell are

Spoiler Below

Black Shadow
Sukapon
Takamaru
Ray 01

?

Kargath · 01-09-2008, 09:51 PM

(Though I do expect a Mii inclusion.)

Exactly:

Ganondorf, Young Link, Mewtwo was unbelievable to some people, Ice Climbers, and Peach.

Auron · 01-09-2008, 10:03 PM

^^^^Black Shadow is from the F-Zero series, Ray 01 is from the Custom Robo series, Sukapon is from a Japanese only game called Joi Meka Faito (Joy Mech Fight), and Takamaru is from another Japanese only game called Nazo no Murasame-jō (The Mystery of Murasame Castle).

As for the list itself, I don't really believe any of it. It seems like just another stunt to get fanboys to wet themselves, kinda like all the fake character menu pics that people through out there.
