Forum:Brawl lineup expectations

Well, it's been over a year and a half since this game's been out, and I was thinking about what I expected it to be like character-wise. I know it's been a long time, but this is what I expected it to be:
 * Original 12: Never doubted them not being in.
 * The 5 who got booted: Roy was the only one I thought had a chance.
 * The rest of the melee cast: Same as the original 12, minus the Ice Climbers.
 * Lucas: Had no idea who he was
 * Ike: Had no idea who he was
 * Sonic: Didn't surprise me
 * Dedede: Expected him too
 * Diddy: Expected him
 * Olimar: Didn't expect him.
 * Lucario: Kinda expected him
 * Toon Link: Kinda expected him, didn't expect that name
 * Wolf: Expected him

Now for the ones I expected but didn't join:
 * Mii: I really, honestly thought Miis would be in it.
 * Other Mario character (Geno or Paper Mario): No idea why, but I was kinda on the Geno bandwagon.
 * Plusle and Minun: Expected them to replace the Ice Climbers and Pichu
 * Phoenix Wright: lol, not really. Maybe next time, Nick.

What did you guys think at the time?  Cheez person  { talk } stuff ''' 06:00, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
