She was revealed on the anniversary of Super Mario Bros. 1 in Japan, but yeah, technically her reveal had nothing to do with any new games, I believe.

Huzzah! My main has returned!
Now I just need De De De and I'll be set! But, so much for that theory...
Sonic is another one that came off looking great from the minor Art Evolution.
It looks like most of his moves are the same, though his dodge animation is different (I think) and it seems a bit easier to combo/chain some of his moves together.
I've never really paid attention to the theme of Sonic Heroes, is that the actual song or is it a rearrangement. I'm kind of hoping they avert the "most of Sonic's songs are brought in from other games" bit and give us more rearrangements and covers, especially now that he's actually in mid-development rather than last minute.

At this rate, they just seem to be revealing characters whenever. This is second reveal we've had in two weeks.
The real question is, will "You're too slow" make a return?

pearlina brainrot affects millions of people worldwide. if you or a loved one are suffering from pearlina brainrot, call 1-800-GAY-NERDSEh, this is the first model revamp I'm pretty disappointed with, actually. His grin looks like it's just pasted on his mouth now (oddly contrasting with his portrait where there's way too much emphasis put into it), and they don't seem to have changed the Spin Dash at all, which was the one thing that I did wish they would renovate.
Still, I openly welcome Sonic being made into a more combo-oriented character, and at the very least this hopefully puts all those silly "what business does Sonic have getting back in?" arguments to rest. This also seems to be a stealth confirmation of multiple taunts as well, so hooray.

It's the original. Just heavily edited, somewhat like his Brawl trailer.

Well, one
◊ of the screenshots is of his old taunt (and he even looks more smug this time!), but he has his newest voice actor in this game, so maybe it won't be as annoying.

Sonic is still the only one that wasn't shown on a release date of a game in their series.
All I can gather is that he likes to announce them during an exact release date, or when an announcement for a major game in the series exist. Both work pretty well. And it would explain Peach's exact reveal, since she had no game besides the VC one to look at for that date.
Of course, that's just what it currently is. He could show off characters entirely regardless of a related game that is either announced or released. But so far, that's exactly what's happened so far.
I'm liking what Sonic looks like so far. I'm not surprised he's still got his Brawl moveset at the moment, but I'm sure he'll be reworked before the release of SSB For.
Shadow?Apparently there's a Lost World stage.

Yep.
Makes sense. I'm kind of hoping the Zeti provide the stage hazards for it.
I have a feeling the Bounce Attack itself could become seriously broken, but the lack of Sonic Wave/Storm was appalling. His Spin Dash and Spin Charge were too similar. -_-
He did appear to be added last minute, so him having two near identical moves isn't that odd. Not enough time to make him better, I guess?
Shadow?

I thought Peach already wasn't on a release day.
