I heard this story today from a girl who was with this guy. They went on a field trip of sorts to a printing place and they were handed this. At the end they were told to give them back because it was confidential information. Well, this jack off didn't and now all sorts of people are in trouble.

What a douche.

@Type-R:
TOON Link? Lol, I guess he doesn't have an official name, but really? TOON?

Oh, and where the eff is Ray Mk III (from Custom Robo Arena). He should have been in the game, Soulboost has his final smash.

I wish I could update: 33 characters so far, with Sonic not listed on that roster, but we KNOW he is in the game - so, 2 more characters to go? I'm betting we will get 40 characters instead of 35 - from what I understand, this roster isn't even from a completed SSE...

Snake wasn't available at E for all, but Sonic was hehe. I fuckin hate diddy kong, but he's the only character I won a 4 player match with.

@Marios_shadow: While I agree that keeping a real secret hidden is nice, it's hard to ignore the fact that officially revealed characters aren't up there whatsoever. Saving money on paper and ink maybe, but is there really a point to keeping secrets that aren't really secrets out of the manual for the game?

As long as Jigglypuff's "fall asleep and you die attack" is still there I am happy.

A close-up of Marth, a new F-Zero stage (another good sign of Capt. Falcon returning!) and Mother boss.

Is it just me, or do all non-plumber human Nintendo characters look pretty much the same?

"But there's a fever amongst you for all things Super Smash Bros Brawl, and you'll take anything and everything you can get."

You're completely right about that one.

@pyrokiller117: you don't start out with Snake unlocked, in fact, none of the demo station videos show snake as selectable...

all the more reason to buy the game and unlock him yourself

*obligatory sarcastic answer*: Oh, you didn't hear? They decided to use the extra delay months to unprogram Snake from the game, NINTENDO IS SOOOOOOO GAYYYYY

*Obligatory response to my own sarcastic comment*: Go get a life, asshole, it's people like you who make the internet suck

You know, for the briefest second, I thought the Kotaku watermark was actually in the manual, and thought to myself, "Wow, Kotaku's really made it big!" Then I realized my error, and am ashamed. I hope you're happy, Mr. Plunkett.

"...if you lean close enough to the screen I'm sure you can conjure up that new-manual smell."

Lol, call me weird, but I love the smell of the insides of a brand-new game! Something about that "factory fresh" smell I guess.

Seriously, it's like the hidden characters just don't get put onto manuals.
