Rosalina is actually the tallest humanoid.
Also, wifebeaters are white. Not a race joke, I swear.
Also also, isn't it more sexist to accuse the trailer of being sexist simply because Mac punches Samus? As if, in a fighting game, it's wrong to hit the female characters, and they're incapable of taking care of themselves?
I dunno why, but the fact that Little Mac's Final Smash is basically him turning into a Titan cracks me up.

My various fanfics.Punch Out's all about fighting oversize boxing caricatures with exaggerated moves and silly tells, but it wouldn't really be true to form to have both Macs play giant hulked out dudes the whole time, so they tied it to a fun game mechanic that more or less lets each player take turns being the "enemy".
Which takes care of his Final Smash neatly, too.
Little Mac is a good addition. He reminds me of a boxer character that I play in Street Fighter.
Oh yeah, even though his appearance was no real surprise to me, this does help prove that Sakurai is not just listening to Japanese fans, but also to Western demands.

Also; it's a fairly small thing, but I really like how quick and focused Samus' melee attacks
◊ look in this installment. That, along with earlier comments Sakurai's made about the increased damage of her weaponry, give me some hope for her overall power this time around.

Ah, that could be it, too.
Regardless, Mac has a lot of very unusual properties- The Power Meter, at least one close-the-gap move with plenty of super armor, his low-profile dash, and evidently being terribad in the air.
Though, one thing I noticed was that his air attack when Doc Louis was admonishing him for not taking Smash seriously enough had a weaker visual effect than his ground attacks, he at one point uses a downward sweep that has as much of a flourish as the rest of his punches.
And I'm pretty sure his body blow is his grab/pummel.

I sure said that!He might be Balrog(boxer) too. He's playable in a lot of the games.
Anyway, I'm glad we got a new combo character. Meta Knight was our only other one, but he had way too powerful of a recovery(if he didn't, I think he might've been much more balanced). Little Mac has apparently a really bad one, so he looks like he's going to be a really fun yet balanced character now.
Shadow?Glad to see good old Mac as an Ascended Extra. I'm very excited now. ^-^
This and the Mario Kart confirmation have made my morning.
EDIT: Not sure if this got mentioned already (too many pages to read @_@), but this year is the 30th anniversary of Punch-Out.

135 -> 180 -> 273 -> 191 -> 188 -> 230 -> 300 -> 311

And that, ladies and gentlement, is why we lost our chance of having Princess Peach as the Bonus Boss in Punch Out!! instead of DK.
'Tis a good page-topper.
