Title: SSBB: New character...Petey Piranha?

I'm sure everyone's seen the latest video from Smash Bros. DOJO!! (If not, it's right here (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/movies/movie070821a.html?keepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=290&width=420)). I saw it last night as well, and much to my surprise it seems another Mario character has snuck their way into Super Smash Bros. Brawl (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/ssbb). No, it's not Toad, it's Petey Piranha! This leads to an ultimate, mind bending question: is he in fact a playable character, an assist trophy, or a level hazard much like those in Super Smash Bros. Melee (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/ssbm)? Personally, I'm leaning towards playable character, but that leads to yet another question: Who would want to play as him? 

Make sure to check out the video- you might be surprised by what other Nintendo characters show up...

I'm fairly certain that a creature that size (even when compared to Kirby) will not be a playable character. Still, I'm sure there's some crazy people that would like to play as him.

It is much more likely that he is a boss in the new single player adventure mode.

I hope not. I think that might be a waste, considering Petey is not all that important in Mario games as is.

I can think of quite a few who are far more deserving than Petey.

That's what I'm leaning toward.  When I first saw the video, I thought 'oh dear!  Petey?  He better not be playable!'  Even Waluigi is more deserving than Petey (okay, maybe not, but I'd still take Waluigi over Petey)

I'd take Waluigi over just about everyone. :P

I don't really dig Waluigi that much, he just seems pointless to me. I would kinda like Petey to be playable, I think he's a cool character.

I think Petey will be like Giga Bowser was in SSBM.

You mean like the final boss?

I think that Ancient minister guy will be the Final or Penultimate boss. I think Petey might be working for the Subspace army and will act as the first boss (maybe)

Also, is it just me, or is Petey a lot more... ferocious this time around? The way he clashes  those cages, that roar... definately more evil then stranding on top of a windmill and waiting for the hero to come kick his butt.

Not necessairly final. I meant that he will be a boss and not a playable character.

Whoah, that's a surprise... I saw the update, but not the vid, so this took me by shock.

He's probably a member of the Subspace gang, or whatever. Personally, I think that no matter how awkward, every new (or not) character in the Subspace Emissary mode will either be unlockable, or everyone will lie about how they are.

I am going to master Petey, and use only him to defeat the haters over and over.

Fear my polka-dot Speedo!

I was actually shocked when I saw R.O.B.

Giga Bowser is playable, remember?

And that second idea is doable. I still vote for BirdPerson's, however. A giant flying Kawashima head is the perfect boss. Then if you defeat Normal and up in a certain amount of time, you get to face him and Master and Crazy Hand.

"Giga Bowser" is only playable as a final smash.

I'd say that speedo suits Petey well.

I just hope Waluigi doesn't appear.

I'd like to see Waluigi as an Assist Trophy. tbh, I wouldn't really want him to be anything more than one.
