As Super Smash Bros. Brawl die-hards are likely well aware, a bevy of spoiler-filled images have crept out onto the internet over the past 24 hours, revealing nearly the entirety of the Wii game's fighting roster and stages. Fan favorites and a few surprises have returned in the third Super Smash Bros. release, all of which we'll be talking about in this post.
