People have speculated for quite some time on what out-of-company characters would be joining Solid Snake in the upcoming Super Smash Bros: Brawl. Sonic was an obvious choice, of course, but check out the above picture, seen in the Swedish Nintendo mag +N.

Yes, readers, we know, it's still quite dubious. Still, we can't resist such a beauty of a rumor. Now we just need a NiGHTs 2 confirmation, Goldeneye on the virtual console, and the ability for the Wii to hack into our brains and overwrite our senses with direct input from the game.

I am a Wii owner and would love to see Sonic in SSB, but the odds of Sonic showing up are highly unlikely. Oh well.

Actually , to me , he was far more likely to appear than Solid Snake was and we all know Snake has been confirmed.
Now that Sega is a 3rd party developer , I wouldn't be suprised if a good portion of the non Nintendo characters actually came from other Sega franchises.

Also , don't forget that Nintendo and Sega worked together on the Triforce arcade system. Granted , it's not a valid argument for having Sonic appear in SSB:B but it brings me to my next point. Maybe we might see some Namco characters too?

I can live in hope! :D

I think it would be interesting to see Sonic in this game, but they shouldn't overflow the game with characters. Focus on gameplay.
