Well, what do you know?! The good folks at Smash Bros. Dojo revealed a new character today (FINALLY!). It’s Captain Olimar and his Pikmin. Should be interesting to see the moves he has.
Is this the end of the lull? Do we now get the final, big updates we’ve been waiting for? The Japanese release date is only two weeks away!


awesome! I knew he was going to show up, this update owns.
if anything, this makes me more optimistic about Krystal as a PC, as this update is a further indication that Sakurai’s poll is heavily influencing the character roster.
Krystal was pretty high on the list, and almost everbody above her was been confirmed. For that reason, I will keep my fingers crossed!
You misspelled “Pikmin”.
I agree with Procrasticritter.
there is only one character before her that hasn’t been confirmed yet right?
@Some_guy
Thanks! Fixed.
@Gamer18
No, the characters above Krystal, but still unconfirmed are Geno and Ridley.
@Mr. Krystal
Geno,I forgot about him.Thanks!
right now, honestly, I think that Krystal is more plausible than Geno, even though he got 1 more vote. Reason being that Geno being in Brawl is a big legal/liscencing mess, and its dependant on whether Nintendo went and got the rights from Squre-Enix or not. Krystal (and Ridley) are 1st party owned by Nintendo, so Sakurai is free to use them at will.
the other thing, is that Geno was only in 1 game, and there’s already 5 mario characters- counting Luigi, who we know is going to be in the game, even though not confirmed. I for some reason, don’t think they’d add yet another Mario character, as it already has more playable characters than any other nintendo series.
I dunno, that’s just my 2 cents.
Krystal for Brawl!
It’s a disappointment that Krystal hasn’t showed up yet! I’m happy that Capt. Olimar and his cute alien plant buddies are there.
Hmmm…and here I thought they were gonna’ stop announcing characters, leaving any more new ones to surprise the fans when the game came out. Well, I guess the nailbiting will have to start again. Curses!
Pikmin has been longer asked for SSBB than Krystal.But I still what Krystal for SSBB.
never seen that character
anyone knows if the game he is in was released in Europe???
and lets hope that when SSBB is released in Japan the character list includes クリスタル (Japanese for Krystal)
My brother and I subscribed to EGM (electronic gaming monthly), and they had a HUGE three page review for brawl. Unfortuanatly, they didn’t tell us anything that the Super Smash Bros. Dojo hasn’t told us already. So no Krysta in this month’s issue.
This character was better off left as a support trophy IMO. Course I never liked the Pikmin games which would explain why I am slightly bitter about this announcement but at least it wasn’t another 3rd party character.
I think he was kinda a retarted character to put in brawl. He will certinly have a wide and wierd ara of pikmin related attacks.
~~~~~PS. thiers a pikmin trophy in malay.
I really want to use Olimar. His moveset that they put up on Dojo reminds me of Game & Watch, in that he looks hard to learn but that it’ll pay off in the long run.
I was really happy with Olimar’s reveal, but I honestly wonder if anything of note will be revealed before the Japanese release at this point…Either way, in about a week to a week and a half we’ll know all and will hopefully be able to sigh of relief and celebrate the appearance of our favorite blue fox.
In SSBB I want to play Fox. His finishing landmaster move looks so cool!!
