Is MegaMan in Super Smash Bros Brawl’s starter roster?

CoroCoro Comics has long featured MegaMan’s own manga, now the Super Smash Bros Brawl starter roster will appear in the Japanese magazine on December 15th! The magazine has announced that all characters will be revealed, in a separate booklet, this Saturday. The magazine is known for its Pokemon manga and revealing the 3 starter Pokemon from Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.

A translation from Japanese doesn’t clarify if CoroCoro is showing just the starting characters or all of the secret characters, which would include some surprises including a possible MegaMan reveal. This means that this week, we’ll either get the full roster from CoroCoro comics, or they’ll just give the starting roster, which will probably be on the on the official SmashBros Dojo website prior to the magazine’s announcement.

Having just the starting roster is by far more likely given what CoroCoro has pulled in the past in regards to Smash, and it would make sense that we’ll have the full starting lineup of characters soon since we’re already at 22 official Brawl characters, 23 if you count Zero Suit Samus. — Translation by Smashboards & Neogaf

What do you think? After Konami’s Snake and Sega’s Sonic, could Capcom’s MegaMan be next?

Update November 15: Bad news, Brawlcentral confirms this month’s CoroCoro issue only contains previously known characters that have been announced on the Dojo already.

Update December 22: Even more bad news, there’s now confirmation directly from Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune that Capcom’s Blue Bomber isn’t in Brawl. He said: “I really do love Super Smash Bros. It’s a great series… but, Nintendo hasn’t asked me yet if they can use Mega Man in their game,” he said in a podcast.

Hopefully the rumor is true because Mega Man would be a HUGE addition to the game and I think that he’d fit in well with the Nintendo roster (and make a nice addition after having Snake and Sonic).

The only thing is that Mega Man might play too similar to Samus, but regardless I hope they do include him cause the little guy deserves it!

HECK YES!!!!!!!!!

Im up for mega man in super smash bros. brawl.

He would be tight to play as.

I really dont think he’ll play simular to samus because they can give him a whole new fighting style, I mean theirs ALOT more to him than his mega buster you know.

But yeah, Mega man would be a killer addition for brawl. But mystery says that mega man is gay and he’s not good enough for brawl, but screw him. Mega man would be BEAST!!!!!

But the only thing that still puzzles me is which version of mega man will they use for brawl if he was added?

Their are alot of versions of mega man to choose from.

Like:

Old school Mega man
Mega Man X
Mega Man Zero
Mega Man EXE (NT Warrior form)

Those are the only ones I know for now, their are others but tat’s all I know so far.

They should just go with his EXE NT warrior form cause I’ve seen him fight in the mugen games with it. It suits him well for brawl.

mega man should be in super smash bros. brawl because there’s only 2 3rd party characters and you should make at least 5 of them in brawl snake and sonic is shown in brawl so mega man is next to appear as a playable character in super smash bros. brawl.
