It's a prototype of Super Smash Bros Brawl.
Appearantly, it is already older than the first two trailers, but still younger than the Sonic trailer. This is what I have found out:
*there are absolutely no references to anything related to Sonic whatsoever
*some Melee veterans finally use their Brawl voices, but not all of them
->such characters include Ganondorf and Falco
*some Melee veterans don't have functional Final Smashes
->such characters include Ganondorf
*some Melee veterans still use their original Melee renders
->such characters include Falco, Dr.Mario, Roy, Jigglypuff and Mr.Game and Watch
*Meta-Knight has half of his voices implemented, same with Pit
*Roy and Dr.Mario are actually in the roster
->however, Roy and Dr.Mario are only modelswaps of Marth and Mario, respectively
->announcer voice clips for them are still the same like from Melee
*Mewtwo is in the roster namewise, but it's just a Lucario duplicate slot
->Mewtwo doesn't even use his Melee render or annoucer voice clips, using Lucario's render and Mario's announcer voice clip instead, but with his name actually being displayed
*there is one empty slot, which makes you just play as Mario
->this could possibly either be the debug character or a placeholder for the infamous pra_mai character
*Wolf still has many Fox leftovers functional, such as Fox' rapid kick normal or Fox' voice
*Diddy Kong is playable, albeit with Dixie Kong (so the tag team idea was scrapped early on)
*there is no slot for Toon Zelda and Toon Shiek either, not even a placeholder slot, so they are probably scrapped early on as well or were simply not considered yet
*many of the later Subspace Emmisary levels are devoid of objects or even actual textures
*every Subspace Emmisary level is avaible right from the start
*the Mr. Resetti trophy pose is actually based on the Smash Dojo render, same deal with Lyndis
*some now unused songs are actually there
->the unused songs of the Mother series are mere rips of the original games
->the title theme of Mario&Luigi Partner's in Time was actually planned to appear in the game and not the boss theme from the same game
->neither Toadwood Forest nor Beware the Forest Mushrooms appear as songs, so the true identity of "MORINOKINOKO" is still unknown
->"Chosen Ones" is also just a direct rip of FE Monshou no Nazo
I might come back with more, but no promises. I mean, I'm not even sure, how true that is, because many things sound either very vague or suggest a different time line of implementations and cancellations.
I mean, why would they suddenly remove Roy and Dr.Mario, if they already have models which are compatible with the other character's animation files? And why did Roy and Dr.Mario had models, but not Mewtwo?
Without meaning to come across as horrible, this sounds like absolute rubbish of the highest order. Where did you hear about it? Did somebody send you pictures & information? Was this posted on a website (reputable or otherwise)? Was it on some remote corner of the internet? How did you find this quite METICULOUS stack of information out, but don't remember where it comes from or have so much as a single picture to back it up? I hate to be so abrasive, but for a series as absolutely huge as Smash Bros, a prototype of any kind would be an absolutely humongous deal, but this is the first time I and many other TCRF members have even heard about it. This applies 100X more for Brawl - a game which has such an extensive modding community and penchant for fake rumours that they could conceivably fake anything and make it look convincing (remember the "Lucina on Outset Island" picture made using model hacks?). I'm sorry but until I get evidence of any kind (pictures that aren't bad hacks, website link, ANYTHING), I'm assuming this is just **** stirring.
