As of [[9 June]] [[2006]], suggestions were no longer being taken. In Toukoken, the portion on the Japanese site chronicling character and music suggestion updates, Sakurai has stated that some of the characters in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' may not return. <!-- But we do not know who - the rumor about Young Link, the Ice Climbers, and G&W getting dropped has not been shown to be anything more than a rumor, so do not add it. Another rumor with this contains three new characters coming to the series: Cel-shaded Link, Ridley, and Bowser Junior --> He also states that he may not want to put much emphasis on Japan-only characters, but is not opposed to them entirely, noting the success that the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' characters enjoyed internationally thanks to their inclusion in ''Melee''. He also said that third party characters will amount to one or two, excluding Snake.<ref>[http://www.joystiq.com/2006/06/05/sakurai-reveals-new-smash-bros-brawl-details/ Sakurai reveals new Smash Bros Brawl details]</ref> Also, each of the guest characters (including Snake) will be unlockable. <ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=72642</ref>
In [[August 2006]], Sakurai and Miyamoto stated that [[Sega]]'s [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] was the most requested third-party character to be included.<ref>{{cite web| author=Wowzer |url=http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/08/20/0531202&from=rss |title=Smash Bros.
