Okay lets see, where to begin.
Alright, after watching the trailer I noticed that although it was brief Metaknight DID have lag after his roll (plus it was a roll grab anyway, if it wasn't a grab then WOW this game is at fault). Pit on the other hand looks like he's going to be the secret God of this game as was Marth for SSBM. That guy had NO lag whatsoever and is waaay faster than I expected. He has sandals and a bow he shouldn't be that fast... it doesn't hurt me though. I found my character.
Not enough lag to punish, I see Metaknight and Pit being the two most broken characters from the announced SSBB line up to date. They are both incredibly fast (attack wise and running wise), they can glide and they have possibly the fasted dodge rolls I've ever seen in SSB.
Wario... Eh... Well, he was sort of weird. Ran weird. Fought weird. Looked weird. That's Wario for you.
Maybe Wario could be the G&W replacement? He has similar movement, and his moveset kinda reminded my of G&W.
ZS Samus? I LOVE how she fought and jumped with finesse and grace! I thought she was going to be more of a sloppy character, but they did REALLY well with her. It looks like she'll be my female fighter for this game. (Unless Zelda surprises me). Although she isn't confirmed we can pretty much expect her.
Same goes for me, ZSSamus is lookin' awesome. And I believe she could be Sheik's replacement. Just look at some of her moves, and also does she have automatic low gravity? Because she looked floaty as hell when she jumped into the air 01:24, maybe it was just slo-mo? Anyway ZSSamus just got added to my character list. But I still am interested in whether she is the same character as regular Samus or whether she has been seperated.
I also like how Mario is more fit for fighting in the air now. Awesome.
I agree, in fact the aerial combat reminds me more of SSB64 now... I think its a result of the slowed down action.
Thank goodness for slowing down Fox! Now people can control that thing. It also looked like he had a MS bomb strapped to him.. can he use those now? If so, he's going to be a character to watch out for.
Fox looks like he won't have changed much attributse wise, he'll be slowed down but I reckon that he'll be just as powerful. I just wanna see how his shining works, because if that is still in tact I can continue using him into SSBB.
snake has a rocket launcher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and he can crawl?!?!?!?!?!?! hows that gonna work?
Well considering Wario crawled and Pikachu was crawling its going to be a new movement type, should be handy for ducking under laser spamming Fox's but I can see myself not really using it much. Unless there are special crawling tilts... in which case, awesome.
edit: did i see metaknight wavedash, or was that just a short-hop backwards?
There is heavy debate over this, its happening over at SmashBoards. Some say it was a WD but others say it wa his dodge roll. I myself think it was his dodge roll but if it is a WD and Nintendo is showing it in the trailer then they must have accepted it as a fair move. But we don't know yet, from the looks of it he did the dodge roll though.
I'm surprised everyone is talking about the characters, and not the stages!
Mario Kart stage looks okay... I think the Shy Guys on the track will get annoying, I'd say its already going to be banned from tournies.
The Yoshi level gurantees that Yoshi is going to be back, and also looks very fun... and from Yoshi's Island which is an awesome game.
The Pit level is a little something for the KI fans and its going to be great to get onto that level.
Stil the presence of the Fire Emblem castle (00:37 is its first appearence) but no Fire Emblem characters to speak of... stop teasing me Nintendo!
Metaknight's level looks like insane amounts of fun, I am hoping the Halberd plays more of a part though.
YAY!!! POKEMON STADIUM IS BACK!!! <333
Hehe Solid Snake's level........ can hardly wait, its that snow place from MGS:TS I think, can't remember its name though, someone on SmashBoards posted it *goes hunting*
All in all I want this game right now, but we have just been teased and who knows when they'll throw us another bone.
