Yes, we all know and love super smash bros. We have all have to at least seen melee. but now the time has come when nintendo has come out with something better.

This is where Super Smash Bros Brawl comes into play.
Here are some facts about the game. -from wikipedia-

Brawl is a fighting game for Nintendo's newest console, the Wii. The third iteration of the Super Smash Bros. series. Brawl is the first Super Smash Bros. game that features at least one character from a franchise not owned by Nintendo with the inclusion of Solid Snake from Konami's Metal Gear series. Its official trailer was first unveiled at E³ 2006. It is currently slated for release sometime in 2007.

Confirmed Characters
Fox McCloud
Fox McCloud is the main protagonist of the Star Fox series. He appears in both Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee, and returns in Brawl as confirmed on November 3, 2006, the first day of the Nintendo World Tour. Little information has been released about Fox as of yet, but it is known that he will use his blaster as in the previous Smash Bros. games, which he now keeps out at all times, rather than drawing it to shoot and putting it away afterward. Whether this will affect his moveset is unknown. Fox's appearance in Brawl is similar to his Star Fox 64 and Command designs.

Kirby
Kirby is the star of the Kirby series, first appearing in Kirby's Dream Land for the Game Boy. Kirby appears in both the original Smash Bros. and Melee. Just like in his games, Kirby has the ability to inhale his opponents and copy an ability from them, as well as resemble them in appearance. This ability gives Kirby a wide range of possible moves. As seen in the E³ trailer, Kirby's "Super Smash" move is his "Cook" power from Kirby Super Star, which involves boiling enemies in a pot.

Link
Link is the protagonist of The Legend of Zelda series, is a legendary Hylian hero who appears in both previous Smash Bros. games. Link's swordplay is featured in the E³ trailer, as well as his Super Smash attack, in which he slashes at his opponent while he or she is trapped between two Triforces (see below). Link appears in a more detailed and realistic fashion in Brawl, as he does in Twilight Princess. The Master Sword serves as Link's primary weapon in Brawl.

Mario
Mario is Nintendo's official mascot as well as the star of his own series of games. He is one of the most well known video game characters, and is present in the first and second Smash Bros. games. Mario's signature fireball is shown in the E³ trailer, as well as his new Super Smash move, where he projects a massive blast of fire that moves across the entire stage.

Meta Knight
Meta Knight is a recurring enemy of the Kirby series, and is the second of the series after Kirby to become a Super Smash Bros. fighter. In the trailer shown at E³ 2006, he can be seen performing quick sword slashes and blocking an attack with his cloak, which blends into the background. He is also shown jumping multiple times in midair, an ability held previously only by Kirby and Jigglypuff in the first two Smash Bros. games. During the E³ trailer, Meta Knight's wings only appear while he is jumping in midair. Meta Knight is also able to glide in air as shown in the Nintendo World trailer. His symbol is the same as Kirby's, a warpstar. As stated in his Toukouken, Brawl's director, Masahiro Sakurai, plans to make Meta Knight's fanfare more of a "rock version" of Kirby's.

Pikachu
Pikachu is the famous and popular mascot in the Pokémon series. It became iconic in the Pokémon anime. Pikachu's first video game appearances were in Pokémon Red and Blue for the original Game Boy and then as the player's starting Pokémon in Pokémon Yellow for the Game Boy Color. Since then, it has been in every major Pokémon video game made to date. Pikachu’s Super Smash Bros. attacks are based on its own Electric attacks and other physical attacks in the Pokémon series.

Pit
Pit, the savior of the Kid Icarus series, head of the royal bodyguards for the goddess Palutena, makes his first playable appearance since the 1987 classic Kid Icarus and 1991's Game Boy game Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters. He is shown in the E³ trailer fighting again with the Sacred Bow of Palutena, which has the ability to separate into two short blades for close-range combat (a feature nonexistent in the Kid Icarus games). On Pit’s left arm rests a pair of glowing rings, which expand onto the Sacred Bow when he prepares to fire Light Arrows; the rings retract onto his arm after use. Pit is also shown in the trailer jumping multiple times midair as Meta Knight does. Pit’s symbol is a bow and arrow tilted at an angle.

Samus Aran
Samus Aran is the heroine of the Metroid series. She returns in Brawl, this time in her Power Suit and as Zero Suit Samus, based on her unsuited form from Metroid: Zero Mission. The official Brawl website states that Samus will remove her Power Suit "under certain conditions", but the means of which have not been released. Samus's "Super Smash" move could be the massive laser blast she projects at Meta Knight and Pit in the E³ trailer - however, the aura surrounding Mario, Link and Kirby while they perform their super attacks is not present around Samus while she performs this attack. In the E³ and Nintendo World trailers, Zero Suit Samus is shown wielding a gun that can transform into a laser whip. In addition, Zero Suit Samus is shown performing acrobatic moves in the Nintendo World Trailer.

Solid Snake
Snake is the first third-party character to appear in a Super Smash Bros. game. He is the main protagonist of Konami’s Metal Gear franchise. Snake appears in Brawl as he does in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Sakurai states on the official website that Snake will use a variety of explosives, including rocket launchers, and fight hand-to-hand. Snake will also use his trademark cardboard box, which he is seen hiding in near the end of the E³ trailer. In the Nintendo World trailer, Snake is shown performing his classic punch-punch-spin kick combo, and using an RPG from his series. Snake's symbol is that of the FOX organization in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, which is also the logo of Kojima Productions.

Wario
is the antagonist of Mario and is the star of the WarioWare, Inc. and Wario Land games. Brawl marks his first appearance in the series; he wears his WarioWare costume, possibly to avoid confusion with Mario's yellow alternate color scheme. In the E³ trailer, Wario projects an atomic flatulence, tentatively called the "Wario Waft" by the official website. In The Nintendo World trailer, Wario is shown performing various dance moves inspired by WarioWare before attacking his opponents. Wario’s moves are shown to have very quick and exaggerated motions. His symbol is the letter "W".

Stages
The E³ trailer suggests that new stages will include the interior and exterior of a gloomy castle, the Halberd, Meta Knight's airship from Kirby Super Star; and an island floating high above a rocky canyon, very similar in shape to Melee's Battlefield stage.

New stages shown in the Nintendo World trailer include an Angel Land stage from the Kid Icarus series that features fragile platforms, a stage in the style of the Yoshi's Island games that appears to change seasons, a Mario Kart stage styled after the "Mario Circuit" track theme (similar in platform arrangement to parts of Melee's Mute City, with kart-driving Shy Guys that seem to be similar to the F-Zero racers), a Pokemon Stadium stage similar to the one from Melee, and a Star Fox stage in outer space on on top of a nondescript spaceship that appears to come out of hyperspace and starts to free fall towards Fox's home planet, Corneria. The Star Fox 64 version of the Great Fox, along with Arwings and Wolfens were shown flying around in the background. A stage based on Shadow Moses Island from Metal Gear Solid was also shown.

In the first trailers for Super Smash Bros. Melee (originally shown at E³ 2001), a number of stages that turned out either to be heavily modified in the final game, or to not be in the final game at all, could be seen, and this may end up holding true for Brawl as well

Items and abilities
The video from E³ suggests the new ability to perform special moves, tentatively referred to as "Super Smash" moves in this article (there is yet to be an official name announced). These abilities are acquired through orb or emblem-shaped power-ups which bear the Smash Bros. symbol.

The trailer shows Mario's, Link's, and Kirby's Smash moves. Mario, who is the only one seen in the trailer actually grabbing an orb, invokes a large blast of fire, Link performs a barrage of sword slashes while Mario is trapped between two Triforce symbols, and Kirby uses his Cook ability from Kirby Super Star and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror to boil Mario in a pot.

The E³ trailer also shows footage of a puppy from Nintendogs attempting to climb the screen, blocking the view of the battle. Although Nintendo has confirmed that this is caused by an item, the actual item was not shown in the trailer.

In the Nintendo World trailer, Pikachu, Wario and Snake were shown with the ability to crawl. It is unknown if every character will have this ability as only a few characters had the "wall-jump" technique in Melee.

Music
The main theme for Brawl was revealed in the E³ trailer as the background song, and it was created by the Final Fantasy composer, Nobuo Uematsu. It is unknown whether he will be composing additional tracks. Additionally, opera singers Ken Nishikiori and Oriko Takahashi have also contributed to the vocal arrangement in this project. Sakurai stated that the game's music will be performed by a full orchestra with vocals in Latin. An arranged version of the main theme with no choir is present in the Nintendo World trailer, and it is possible that it will merely be used for the game menus.

In the E³ trailer, an orchestrated version of the game over jingle from Metal Gear Solid plays when Snake appears at the end of the trailer. It is unknown whether this will be used in the game or not.

The music from Super Smash Bros. Melee's Corneria stage was heard at the end of the second trailer. Although it is the only other music shown to go with this game, it is unknown whether it will be changed or not.

Inclusion of characters
The inclusion of Konami-created character Solid Snake may seem to conflict with the Super Smash Bros. paradigm — to only include characters from games made by Nintendo and its second parties (e.g. HAL Laboratory) — but Sakurai said that Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima "practically begged" for Snake to be included in the next Super Smash Bros. game (which, at the time of said "begging," was during the production of Super Smash Bros. Melee, but production of the game was already too far in research and development to make the addition viable). Incidentally, this is not the first time Snake would appear in a crossover fighting game, as he was previously featured as a secret character in DreamMix TV World Fighters.

When questioned about the inclusion of other characters, Shigeru Miyamoto alleged that discussions for possible other third-party characters are underway, but nothing has been confirmed. If a third party character does appear in Brawl, the character must have been on a Nintendo console. Additionally, the character must originate from a video game (as written in a response to one fan requesting several anime and manga characters). Japanese fans were asked to submit their desired characters and musical themes via a forum on the game's official Japanese site, with some possibly appearing in the game. Likewise, fans from other countries were asked to submit ideas on Nintendo's official forums. It is currently unknown if Nintendo will ask fans outside of Japan to request characters or musical themes.

As of 9 June 2006, suggestions were no longer being taken. In Toukoken, the portion on the Japanese site chronicling character and music suggestion updates, Sakurai has stated that some of the characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee may not return. He also states that he may not want to put much emphasis on Japan-only characters, but is not opposed to them entirely, noting the success that the Fire Emblem characters enjoyed internationally thanks to their inclusion in Melee. He also said that third party characters will amount to one or two, excluding Snake. Also, each of the guest characters (including Snake) will be unlockable.

Sonic the Hedgehog?
In August 2006, Sakurai and Miyamoto stated that Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog was the most requested third-party character to be included. Around the same period of time, Tips & Tricks reported that Miyamoto has stated Nintendo has actually contacted Sega regarding this, and that they're awaiting a final decision. Then, in the October 2006 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, he mentioned that "Sega's hedgehog would be the perfect addition to Brawl's cast." An article in the first issue of a Swedish Nintendo Magazine named "+N" makes a report that the known confirmed characters will be in Brawl, along with Sonic the Hedgehog as a playable character, though the magazine's credibility is questioned. Yojiro Ogawa, the director and producer of Sonic and the Secret Rings was asked by the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine about to see Sonic appear in Nintendo's upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl and he said: "In my personal opinion, it would be great to have Sonic in it. But that would really involve Sonic and Nintendo's management, it's nothing to do with me!" Yuji Naka, former head of Sonic Team and the chief of PROPE has said that he wants to see Sonic in the next game. At this point, it is unknown who can give the rights to Sonic.
