That Brawl image floating around...

Hey guys, there seems to be a lot of buzz about this image. I wanted to set the record straight. The image above, is, as far as we know, not real. This image popped up early this week, but GameTrailers used it in one of their Smash videos. It never crossed my mind that people would take this as the real deal. As far as we know, this image is 100% fake. One dead giveaway is the Young Link placeholder. Nintendo wouldn’t use Young Link art from a previous game as the headshot for his Brawl icon. While the characters in this list may make it into the game, this image above is 99.9% fake. Thanks to everyone that sent this in!
