EDIT: From Brawlcentral.com:


A poster on 2ch supposedly has gotten a hold of the game disc and posted pictures as proof. He also took a picture of what he calls the official starting roster.

The picture was taken from his TV (notice the TV1 text on the top right). Either it's a good fake or it's the real deal! Stay tuned for more updates!

Stay up to the minute as I translate the 2chan discussion and keep everyone updated in the forums!

Looks pretty real, I'd say, but it's up to you to decide.

Maybe it's a temporary organization. That's really random.

Confirmation of the Video Being Real?
Shortfuse of SWF just contacted me and pointed out something very interesting. Here's what he had to say:

I started the "Japanese Forums" thread almost 3 weeks ago. It got some attention and was pretty popular. Gimpyfish grew interested in the way the SWF community was involved in this project of checking Japanese sites. He went to talk to a few friends who are major smash players in Japan. What happened later (and he announced on the SMYN podcast) is that he said he obtained some link to some great sites including what he though to be the Japanese Smashboards. It turned out it wasn't and the rest of the sites where just simple tournament sites. I didn't pay much attention to them. Gimpy did say since one of his friends would likely get the game early, since he hosts Melee tournaments. One of the tournament sites is http://ketubato.com . Interesting enough, this video surfaced: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VxrQi...

What's the correlation? Well, look at the user who uploaded the video. It's queensaki. Who is queensaki? It's none other than the webmaster of ketubato.com. What am I getting at? Yes, Gimpy's friend who he said was going to have Brawl early...who hosts tournaments is the one who uploaded the Brawl video to youtube. Yes guys, it's real.

I agree very much with what he said, and it looks like this video is indeed real, using the logic explained above. I'll let you be your own judge on the matter. We're still doing soem detective work to find out about the source of the video, so be patient. Don't go claiming that we're confirming the video, because we aren't.

If you look at the lower left corner of that image, Mario and Bowser are fighting on what appears to be Final Destination. The structure seems the same, as does the warping background.

Also, what's interesting is the list of characters. It seems to be telling how much damage is needed to KO a character under certain conditions. Basically, it gives the weight order for the entire starting roster! Notice how Zelda and Sheik now have different weights.

The kingdom you once knew has turned to ruins over the long years, and it is now your battlefield.
