SUPER SMAAAAAASH BROTHEEEEEEEEEERS!!!!!!!!!

[MetalPredat0r]

I agree. Generally, clones are my least favorites for obvious reasons.

I don't mind clones as long as there are differences and the characters being clones makes sense to a degree.

This video shows all the Final Smashes. If it isn't obvious, this spoils them and their associated characters!
There's a lot of spoiler tags, but I've hidden
A) New details on Final Smashes,
B) Outright new Final Smashes and
C) Names of any characters that had not been officially revealed before leaks/release/whathaveyou.

(Returners)
I'm glad to see Luigi has a different FS, because his old one really came from left field in a bad way. Sure maybe it makes sense when you look at his character, but until then you're all "wut."
It's also nice to see that Peach's FS has bigger peaches (let's not get all gutterminded now) and there aren't so many, the animation's a nice touch, too.
Kirby and Dedede I'm happy to see changed - especially Kirby's, because his was semi-useless.
Even though ZSS was essentially given a Smash similar to Snake's, it looks pretty nice, fits her char, and doesn't block a third of the screen in the process.
Jigglypuff still has Puff Up, though. Perhaps it's me, but they really could've given her something else; I think Perish Song would've been nice for her. But meh.
Dr. Mario could've done something BESIDES shoot pills for his FS if you ask me...
(Newcomers)
DHD's FS is oddly hilarious, probably because it's a little odd to see an 8-bit cinematic smash. (Just me though)
I find Dark Pit's HIGHLY disappointing, though, mostly because it looks like they basically gave him Zelda/Sheik's FS and modded the hitbox.

In general, it seems like most Final Smashes are now much more focused in range (e.g. Pit's, Dedede's), or otherwise made much more usable (e.g. Peach's, Kirby's)

I'm starting to like Duck Hunt Dog more and more! Look at that final smash, with all those shout-outs to 8-bit games (i.e. Wild Gunman, Hogan's Alley, etc.)
For ROB's new FS, I couldn't help saying "Behold! Optic Blast!"
Samus still has what I like to call "Proton Cannon!"
I said this a ComiCon San Diego when I saw Kirby's... "O brilliant blade of coldest steel...rend the infinite darkness...and crush my enemies to nothing! You're dead! SAVAGE WOLF FURY!!!"
Dedede's final smash is better, but I'm going to miss the funniness of the BIG GAY DANCE!!! XD
I always think Ragnarok (as in Strider Hiryu) with Greninja's FS.
Ness's PK Starstorm looks a lot more useful this time around.
Gunner Mii's looks like one of Morrigan's hypers from MvC.

[MetalPredat0r]

Gotta say that my favorite new ones are Kirby, Luigi, R.O.B., Duck Hunt, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Dr. Mario, Zero Suit Samus, and Lucario.

Though some choices I absolutely hate. FALCO STILL HAS A LANDMASTER! And yet he STILL says he prefers the air! Then we get to Dark Pit who, while completely different from Pit, is still just a copy-paste of Zelda/Shiek's Light Arrows. Wow, Dark Pit is slowly becoming my least favorite addition to this roster. Which is absolutely depressing considering that I actually wanted him playable as his own character just.....not like this, man...

In other news, GANONDORF CAN USE HIS SWORD VIA CUSTOM MOVES!!!

[DeviantProtagonist]

Speaking of custom moves, it turns out Ness can use Lucas' B moves upon switching to them, which does ease the amount of salt in one's wound.

Oh my god, I saw him, and that was EXACTLY the kind of Final Boss I imagined for Smash! Is Sakurai reading my head? O_o?

It definitely harkens back to Giygas, what with nightmare fuel. If that weren't enough, the first form of Master Core GOES RIGHT AHEAD AND PICKS UP FINAL DESTINATION. People totally lost their shit there, holy balls.

In the event I do buy a Wii U, I'll be maining Lucina based on the logic I whored Marth in Melee and because lol animu girls. Also Kirby because N64 glory. :3

Another thing... ;~;

YOU'RE TEARING ME APART, SAKURAI.

Join the Wii U Master Race. We have eShop sales!

Really, I have so many characters I wanna main: Sonic, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Lucina, Duck Hunt, Bowser Jr., Shulk, even Dr. Mario!

Also, those who register both versions of the game on Club Nintendo get a two disc soundtrack of the game's OST for free. Thank god I own both systems AND a Club Nintendo account! !

[ChocoCats]

I'm planning to main Yoshi and Greninja. Time to do loads of stuff in that game! Oh yeah, the demo is coming this week.

[MetalPredat0r]

Oh yeah, the demo is coming this week.

The 19th if I'm not mistaken. That is such great timing for me. It'd be a great one-day-late birthday gift to me! !

[Yui]

I'm surprised AKB48 does not yet have their own fighting game...

On an unrelated note, this gallery's supposedly Famitsu scans, and shows palettes of the characters. It saddens me to see that, at least from looking at the image, modelswap characters (Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Robin) seem to be tied to colors. But it's just from first impression. Palutena's colors appear fairly impressive, but then Palutena herself is a detailed character design.

im@s character pls

Let's see...

For General Ike, there's: Greil, Sigurd, Black Knight and... Chrom (Hahaha...) palettes.
For Lucina: Original, Nowi, Cherche, Cordelia, Tiki, Lissa (or Mist?), Tharja and Sumia palettes.

And the Avatar moves looks interesting. I can't imagine how he's going to use Thunder, Elthunder, Arcthunder and Thoron. Looks like he's not going to use Rexcalibur and Bolganone like the thunder magics. And using Bronze Sword and changing to Levin Sword as normal attack... this looks like fun.

[MetalPredat0r]

I can't imagine how he's going to use Thunder, Elthunder, Arcthunder and Thoron.

It's a chargeable move. The longer you hold down the button, the stronger the attack is gonna be. For example, just pressing it will unleash Thunder, but holding it down will unleash Elthunder and holding it longer than that unleashes Arcthunder.

I am disappointed that Sonic is reduced to shades of blue again, but at least his shoes change color this time.

Also, Toon Link has CD-i Link colors................ Life! Made!

Oh, I see. Very nice.

Just played the special demo and here are my impressions:
1. Controls are alright. The only really confusing parts are the shoulder buttons (L for grabs and R for shield).
2. Characters move pretty smoothly, (except Megaman =P) especially Link.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to the release. Please don't ask me for the codes. I got them from a friend of mine.

[MetalPredat0r]

This seems fun.

Because I did NOT have the luxury of finding somebody with a code, I have to wait until tomorrow to get the public demo. I'll give my personal thoughts once I have had time with the demo.

What, you opting to beat Brokendorf and all his three stocks?

It never kills to experiment like this, my friend.

Though I pity my GameCube Controller.
