4 new characters have already been announced for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, along with tons of new items and stages, among other things. I have a feeling that at least one more new character will be in SSBB, though. It might be Sonic, or maybe Ridley… but I think we’re going to see a character from Animal Crossing.
If no Animal Crossing character were to make it into Brawl, AC would be the only Nintendo franchise with both a stage (Smashville) and an item (the newly-revealed Pitfall) based off the series, but no character. But which AC character could hold his (or her) own in a SSB battle?
I don’t think it’d be a character in the background of a level, since it would be weird fighting with a character, and having them cheer you on at the same time… that rules out every character appearing in these screenshots. That means the playable AC character won’t be K.K. Slider or Tom Nook.
So who else from AC could really put on a show in Brawl? My best guess would either be Gulliver or Copper, since both are relatively popular, and neither appears in the background in the Smashville stage. Your guess is as good as mine if an AC character will make it into Brawl, and who it might be… I guess we’ll just have to wait and see who makes the cut.
Note: The “ABC” in the title stood for Animal Brawl Crossing.
