And my question earlier wasn't "was sakurai making a real single player game",
I was asking about how much emphasis he put on how deep it would be. From the updates, we can barely tell what the story is, let alone how deep it is
Fix'd the typo.
And to be honest, a deep story for a multi-combat game?
When has that ever happened?
*everyone glares at Wrestlemania*
....... KIDDING! JEEZ!
But yeah, there are many games in the fighting genre with deep stories. One of course being Soul Calibur, among others.

I recall an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto that said that while Sakurai wanted a better single-player experience for Melee, he was instructed to expand the multiplayer first. With the time/budget for Brawl, he was able to do both this time.
If there's anything Famitsu doesn't usually do, it's overrate games. It might happen once in a long while, like with Nintendogs and (depending on your taste) Final Fantasy XII, but otherwise they can be rather harsh. Getting a really high score out of them, especially a perfect score of 40/40, isn't something to just ignore. Unless you hate/distrust them for a handful of undeserving reviews, or even just for their popularity, but that's a matter of opinion and a different issue altogether.
It is a different voice from Melee and will probably be the one for the game. I don't exactly remember how it was in Melee, but I'm fairly sure both the english and japanese versions did have the same announcer, just different phrases and character names. So we'll probably have this announcer, as well.

Olimar's Final Smash "End of Day", one of the few final smashes where you can't stop it when it starts. If you played Pikmin you know at the end of the day you head back to your ship so that you don't get destroyed by the monsters. Well that's the idea behind his final smash.
Used his "up" B to snake the FS Ball, nice.
Leaves the whole fight
Crash landing on them MF'S!!
This final smash is really only useful in a multi Brawl it says, but the ship landing at the end may be more helpful than the whole FS during a one-on-one.
Here's another commercials with Olimar at the end performing his FS, plus Snake getting kicked in the face.

NO ONE CARES???
Anyways, today they talk in more detail about the stickers.
As you can see at the bottom of the screen, it says a "category", and a number. These stickers can be placed underneath "trophy" bases of our character, and they upgrade your character's abilities.
The bigger the sticker, the greater the power-up.
Some power ups even have special abilities like being thrown less of a distance upon being damaged!
However, a few pointers:
1. Any sticker you attach, can't be taken off.
2. Any sticker you attach, CAN be "adjusted" and moved around.
3. Certain stickers can only be used by certain characters.
4. No "point merging"! Here's the example they posted:
"So, for example, if you had [Leg] Attack +4 and [Leg] Attack +6 stickers on the same trophy base, the added [Leg] Attack bonus wouldn’t be +10—it’d simply be treated as if you’d only put down the +6 sticker."
And if you don't like placing them, but want some on, THEY GOT 2 WORDS FOR YA: RANDOM BUTTON!
An example of a "finished" product's abilities.
You apply a sticker, it's gone forever. HOWEVER, if you only place "doubles" etc., you'll never be short a certain sticker.
Depending on the difficulty, you will find rarer and rarer stickers.
WHAT HAPPENED TO "VERY EASY"???
If you complete a level, you can re-play it on a harder difficulty immediately, to up your sticker count and rare-sticker amounts! However...
If you get game over... you lose HALF the stickers you added.
And one last thing: Sticker "upgrades" Apply to The Subspace Emissary's mode ONLY, so... no, you can't face off against your newb friend with a super-powerful Capt. Olimar.
WRESTLEMANIA'S OPINION:
Wow... this SEEMS like I've seen it before, but... hmm......
The idea for this seems... cheap. I'd prefer to just go into the mode, "clean" trophy base, beat the game, and reap rewards, but... meh, Sakurai knows what e's doin', eh?

It seems that this recent "date change" has actually caused a lot of people to lose interest (from what I can see anyways...)

But seriously, I probably won't use this unless it's with the Random feature. I don't like spending time doing this sort of thing (case in point: building Gummy ships in the KH games... just no).

I really don't like the direction this is heading :x Single player is cool, but power-ups outside of the actual single player game is stupid for a fighter. I don't like this at all.

But it isn't. As Sakurai said, the stickers won't work outside of Subspace Emmisary. So actually, you have nothing to fear about :)

I meant outside of the gameplay. Meaning, I'm fine with in-game powerups a la Super Mario and mushrooms, but I've never been a fan of having to upgrade items and weapons outside of the actual game a la Soul Caliber.

I don't know, I only played SC2 a few times.
My basic point is that upgrading characters in a fighter outside of the gameplay itself sucks, in my opinion. I'm sure it'll be fun, but I'll utilize the stickers as sparingly as possible.
Hahahaha no.

Considering the amount of characters on that screen is exactly 14 and that's how many characters Melee started with, I have reason to believe that this is the starting roster. If there is evidence that this is not the case, then I'd like to see it, and if this isn't the starting roster, what is it?

One thing is for certain: this screen is not from the final Japanese build; if it were, they'd be calling him Koopa instead of Bowser.

That, and I think Kirby wouldn't be picked over Meta Knight. And I think you have to unlock Sonic.

And I found the contradictory evidence myself this time round. Whoops. :P
Apparently that last link is from the WHobby demo, so then the question is, as I asked before: what is that Gametrailers demo based on??
As for the starting roster:
1) 11 of the roster are effectively confirmed simply by the offical US box art, although it's not concrete proof. I've made a copy of it here if you want to refer to it. It doesn't make sense for a character to be on the boxart and then not playable when you first play the game.
2) The second demo footage shows what looks like the most likely starter roster to me, to be frank. Bearing in mind all twelve characters from the original were starters in Melee (except Luigi) but that some of them appear to have been dropped, chances are the four former unlockables are unlockable once more, or axed. I find it hard to believe Captain Falcon has been kept quiet this long for no reason.
Based on past experience with SSB, SSB:M, and the screenshots provided, chances are the final roster has only 23 characters unless they employ a graphics cheat to worm another line in for characters; three rows of eight minus one for the random selection icon.
Excluding in-game character changes (ZSS and Sheik), 23 characters have been announced so far. In which case, perhaps all the characters have been announced already and a large portion of the Melee roster was axed, or they're going to be crafty and shoehorn in up to eight extra characters and keep quiet about them until release (I'm guessing they'll stop at 30 at the absolute most), or Sora and Nintendo are being deliberately deceptive to keep everyone guessing.
We'll know soon enough.

We already expect Sonic and Snake to be unlockable, that roster was old, it was shown way back at the E for all event.
At another event Sonic was replaced by Kirby and another character was replaced by another. I think that incident was Jump Festa.

As for the roster we don't know, just going to have to wait. I also think there's going to be other 30 characters, if they threw in characters like Olimar I think we have to look forward to.

On a side note, there's a rumor going around that brawl will have about 48 characters total. Did anyone else hear anything about this, because that seems like too many characters

LIES!!
there's no such thing as too may characters!!
LOLZ J/K
Well, that does seem like a bit much. It's a rumor, I have not heard about his, and we need a source. If it were true however, more hours of gameplay for me.

EDIT: Screw it. It's already been de-confirmed.
