Three characters confirmed! *SPOILERS*

Yesterday, Edible from the GameFaqs SSBB message boards was watching the How to Play video on the wii.com/jp website. Arond 4:20 his eye caught sight of this:

Look at the marked areas. In the first picture you can see small icons of Pikachu and the pokemon trainer followed by…wait, is that Lucario? Jigglypuff?! Now look at the second picture, you can see icons of Lucas and Ness!

 After friday’s update of sticker powerups, we learned that certain characters can equip certain stickers. Nintendo went back and edited the video (though not many noticed it) to show the faces of Lucario, Jigglypuff, and Ness. Quickly after it was discovered, Nintendo edited the video again, this time removing the icons. If you want video proof here is the video (taken right after the leak was discovered):

Look closely at 4:20

 Now, a few of you might have gone to the official trailer after it was edited, and you may be wondering why its not there. Well, guess what? I’m one of few people to discover a glitch. First of all go to the offical trailer here: http://wii.com/jp/movies/smashbros-movie1/

 When the timer hits 4:20 PAUSE, then UNPAUSE. You will see the icons. Also you can view the icons by dragging the bar to exactly 4:20.

 The big question is, why did Nintendo do this? First they edit the video and “accidentally” reveal the trio, then they edit it again to make it seem like there was nothing there. Was the leak intentional? Was someone that stupid to edit the video and not realize they were leaking information. Now they made the hundreds of people who saw it look like lunatics! Well, we have proof. Not only do we have pictures and video, but we have hundreds of witnesses. Hopefully Nintendo isn’t messing with us, ’cause if I find that Ness, Lucario, and Jigglypuff aren’t in brawl, then I’ll be upset.
