According to this spanish magazine:
"Sakurai: Good... It's a difficult question. ... Sonic finds himself in the videogame, but even ... the ultimate confirmation of Sega. Due to the next one of exit, the date limits so that Sega sends it with ... the 26 of this month, on that day he [Sega?] thinks to give an actual ... official on him [Sega?] including or not the mascot of Sega ... game. I in the personal I am crossing my fingers. "
Rumors are rumors, but this is extremely exciting details! The possibility of Sonic making his appearance in brawl have been greatly increased!!
Not ONLY is he already programmed in, whilst waiting for final confirmation, but now from what I've seen, Shigeru Miyamoto, Yuji Naka (Sonic creator) AND Sakurai want sonic in brawl, not to mention the thousands of fans!
At this point, it's all up to Sega to say yes or no, and it would not do Sega any good at all to deny Sonic of a true battle with Mario, unlike the Olympics.
