Chickens don't get rabies

[Ritz]

I was actually looking forward to Diddy making an appearance long before he was even announced. You're all just racist.

[gr4yJ4Y]

I'd rather have him than Ike or Ice Climbers.

Same here, seeing as I've actually played games with Diddy in it.

[Locit]

So have I! He was lame then, he's lame now. And cheap as hell in Strikers Charged.

[One Classy Bloke]

Diddy is a lame-o. I would prefer one of Sonic's endless collection of friends. Bar Silver.

[Team Mecha]

Obviously this has to be the Megaman in the game.

[Dasher]

Oh man, that show was so ghetto.

[Isuka]

"Mega-Awesome!"

[Zeta]

Wonderfulicus!

[G.Silver]

Again, I'm suggesting Simon Belmont to round this out.

[Team Mecha]

Megaman
Simon
Pit
Samus (was in the comic book)
Link (reoccurring)
Zelda (reoccurring)
It would be a nice N team reunion. Now if only the cap' had a chance in hell.

Anyway, there's apparently some hints towards Megie. Capcom has a cryptic message on their site. Some people have have translated it as
"THE NEXT DEMONSTRATION WILL SAY MEGAMAN'S A BONUS 4 CAPCOM.

PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A BRAWL!"

But more likely it'll be Battle Network on mobile phones.

[MiraiTails]

Megaman
...Some people have have translated it as...

I'm pretty sure those are just question marks, not some messed up text encoding.

[Shadow Hog]

No duh. It's the way they're laid out that's important; the people who made that translation wrote it assuming each question mark corresponded to exactly one letter.

Either way, the translation's a stretch. 4? What company would seriously use 4 as shorthand in an official announcement? Unless it's part of the game's title (eg: <i>Left 4 Dead</i>)...

[Arcade]

Megaman, Sonic and Mario in the same game? Wow!

[Yami CJMErl]

I'd hit that.

WITH THE ANGRY FIST OF GOD.

[jenkins]

I'd hit it, no matter the cost.

But hang on, how long until the Dojo updates? Because the timer at Capcom says <10 hours...

[Shadow Hog]

Let's assume it really involves <i>Brawl</i>. If this is true, then chances are, today's update will be filler (or at least, completely unrelated to this announcement), and tomorrow's update will be related to it - much like how Sonic's announcement came at that show of Nintendo's first, THEN went up on the Dojo.

But, seriously, this soon? They really can't be playing all their cards so early... I mean, the game's a million seller either way, but certainly they'd like to keep the Dojo running for as long as possible between now and January/February?

To answer your question, though, it updates at 3AM EST, 12AM PST, 8AM GMT, etc.

[jenkins]

Hmm...Capcom changed the counter. It's set to Noon EST, so...I guess not.

Oh well. I'm still not ruling out Megaman.

[Yami CJMErl]

But more likely it'll be Battle Network on mobile phones.

Heh, I only just noticed this in the post. It'd be nice, but whoever Capcom has working on localization for ANYTHING Battle Network / StarForce related is too shitty/lazy to want to bother with the one (maybe two) MMBN games that were on Japanese cellphones a ways back. Hell, they never even bothered to localize BN4.5, and that was a GBA game!

[Shadow Hog]

Looks like it was <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/10/17/capcom-announces-street-fighter-4/"><i>Street Fighter IV</i>.</a>

Which, while very much good news, isn't very <i>Brawl</i>-related, and certainly isn't <i>Mega Man</i>-related.

[Yami CJMErl]

Weak.

[Isuka]

Yeah... though I still dig Cammy's ecchi dee booty.

[Arcade]

Im still waiting for a Game of Capcom vs Capcom, you know, all Capcom famous characters fight to see who becomes the company symbol.

Ah that was a great dream…not as awesome as my recurrent dream of an Evil super Sonic killing Shadow, but it was good…

[Tsuyoshi-kun]

There was supposed to be Capcom Fighting All-Stars or something on PS2, a 3-D fighting game, but it was cancelled.

[Yami CJMErl]

Well, at least we know what the "4" in the message was for, but I'm not liking them using what's supposed to be their primary mascot, as well as possibly SSBB, as red herrings.

Hell, none of the Capcom news from yesterday even excited me all that much--SF4 will probably be PS3/360 only, I have no idea what this "Void" thing is all about, and Lost Planet stays on consoles I don't own.

=/

Thanks god, 3D? it would have sucked!
