It never ends - more Brawl characters revealed?

Brawl fans: give them an opening and they’ll be up there like a rat up a drainpipe. Perhaps that isn’t the most appropriate or evocative phrase to use, actually, but we use it anyway in reference to the discovery by the keen eyes of viewers of three unannounced characters during a preview of the all-new, quite possibly mega-selling, Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

During part of a trailer demonstrating the single player mode’s sticker power-up feature, icons for previous Smash characters Ness and Jigglypuff, plus another Pokemon, the dog-headed Lucario were noticed in the corner (as seen in the very blurry image above, no really). No footage of them in battle, though, just those static headshot pictures. Speculation, then, but fuelled further by Nintendo blanking out said icons in the next revision of the trailer.

At this point, we could only guess whether they’ll make an appearance or not, much less as playable characters. The game’s nearly out, yet it appears to be stuffed full of even more secrets than have consistently been revealed before. Then again, we’re reminded of previous shenanigans when a rogue voice-artist let out the news that she’d recorded the lines for Starfox Adventure’s Krystal for Brawl, which was promptly silenced, and nothing’s become of that…yet. Is this a smoke/fire story or are they just stickers?
