You can see pics of the presentation here.
All I want to say is...
1. If Snake's supposed to be a secret character why is Konami putting him on display everywhere? HUH? HUH? HUH?
2. Snake's profile will be revealed on the Brawl website tonight!
EDIT: In that last Brawl pic...DAMN is Snake having a massive wedgie!
EDIT 2: That last pic also confirms the return of the Homerun Bat and Mr. Saturn.

A friend of mine says it could be a CYPHER, a small, flying security bot from MGS 2. Either that's one of Snake's attacks or his entrance.

All I can guess is that because third party characters are unique in the fact that they are third party, Sakurai may choose to reveal them all before the game is released (or not)...And as I pointed out in a previous topic, he did say that BECAUSE they are guest characters that they will probably be unlockable... =)

Supposedly reports are saying that "Snake hovers in before battle" on it, so it APPEARS as if the intros from the first game are back!

Wait, does that mean the custom entrances are back? That would be awesome.

I suspect there is a theoretical maximum amount of safe exposure, yes.

Well, like Bill I distinctly remember Sakurai saying in an interview that you would have to unlock Snake, but I cannot remember where the interview is. Besides this is Kojima showing off his character in the game, not Sakurai. There may be some sort of agreement that we are unaware of.

Maybe, but I would not be surprised either way.

That is awesome news on both counts, but why would two earthbound related weapons be revealed(kind of, I mean there was not any evidence that they would not be back) with Snake?

If the reports are correct then my week has been made. The removal of the intros in Melee was my biggest cosmetic gripe (along with the removal of the cool little "ending" images for beating single player mode in SSB) with the game.

Yeah, the intros were small details that added a lot to the characters.

Yep! I rule...
Although it was disappointing to read that the cypher was his up-A attack.

Ewwww the day where a surprise cameo of SONIC competes for hype of Halo 3 is the day I quit being a gamer. Then again I really dont care much about Halo 3 I never believed that Nintendo needs to steal the thunder here. But do you hear what you are saying!? Why would you want to compete with hype with a game like Halo 3? Because consumers are going to buy a 360? So instead you sway them to the Wii with a Sonic Cameo in a fighting game. . . . . ?

QuoteIt's been a loooooooooooong time since I've played the original SSB. Does anyone have a YouTube link (or similar video) of the character intros?

"In this world, trophies fight"
And look at the screens:
They portray the characters as being trophies before the fight begins.
So, I suspect we are stuck with trophy intros for now...

I hope if they do that, it's ridiculously disproportional, and Snake gets to pilot it like a tank:

It's not necessarily competing with Halo for hype. It's offering a cheaper alternative, like when Nintendo pushed forward the release date of Majora's Mask to PS2's launch. There are a lot of people who are getting Halo 3 because everyone else is. Listen to a game store clerk push a pre-order and you'll see this happen. Then, there's always good ol' fashion peer pressure. "You're not getting Halo 3?! Why not?! Hey, Joey, isn't getting Halo 3!" That's when Joey asks his mom to get him Halo 3 for Christmas.
Online multiplayer and a 3rd party character shown in the same week is not a coincidence. WiFi and 3rd party characters are two hot topics about the game and both conveniently pop up the week before (arguably) the biggest game of the year is released. Nintendo can't beat Halo 3 hype, but they can get people more excited about their hot title.

Exactly.
It was as though the characters were arriving from their own games to do battle.
