Sure, there's the "kung fu" hands of Phoenix Wright, but imagine the other attacks: Briefcase as main weapon - sure, there is the Kung Fu finger, but I'd see him beat people off with his briefcase more. Throwing a gavel (this is where you could hear him shout "Objection!". Red Tape Bind: A slew of red tape erupts from his fingers, binding his enemy temporarily so he can unlease attacks Turnabout Case Attack: His Ultimate attack (like we saw Link or Mario do from the trailer). His face drops as he becomes pale and despondant - but then he slicks back his hair, pops open the briefcase, and out comes a torrent of papers that flatten his opponents. I'd love to see it. Now, my choice for the other character? How about a Dragon Quest slime? It's been on Nintendo consoles for some time, and would add the total "kill, but cute" factor. Odds are, though, it will be the damn Monkey Ball monkeys. I’ve always throught that a lawyer could make an interesting choice with a brawl game.

But I swear, my gut is screaming out "Simon Belmont." Whip-n-whip! I, too, feel that Mega Man won’t be the character and that Sonic will be the shoo-in.
