Mega Man is... asleep.

Sleeping has happened in past Smash games before, caused by Jigglypuff's Up+B, Luigi's Final Smash, Peach's Final Smash, Bellossom from a Poké Ball, Togepi from a Poké Ball (sometimes), and a combo move by Master Hand and Crazy Hand.

What do all of these things have in common? The fact that none of them are featured in the new game (yet)! So, it seems like we have confirmation that one of the above will return. But I bet they all do.

Also, I didn't mention it in Olimar's update, but it looks like the Pikmin that he uses are strictly those from Pikmin and Pikmin 2, none from Pikmin 3.

Not surprising, considering that it would involve drastic changes to his moveset from Brawl, but it does open the door to new Pikmin 3 characters potentially joining the fray.

Or it could be that Olimar DOES use Pikmin 3 Pikmin, but we haven't seen it yet. We just don't know yet.
