Well, the supposed leak didn't actually say anything about his speed, although it did claim he would be the heaviest character in the roster. For all we know, he'd be slower than Ganondorf.

So is Dedede the only big and slow character now? (I don't think Snake or Ganondorf really count)

I think so, Cassidy. Bowser's obviously a heck of a lot faster, and DK has always been a Lightning Bruiser.

Hmm... Zelda fits the "slow and powerful" part, but not the "big" part.

[up][up]I can understand not counting Snake, but why wouldn't you count Ganondorf? He's pretty big and he's most certainly slow.

He doesn't really fit my definition of "big". He's not really wide around. If he had his Wind Waker design I would count him, though.

He was deceptively fast in Melee, from what I remember. Brawl made him much slower.

Wind Waker Ganon is big because the Sacred Realm was stocked with tons of junk food for his centuries of imprisonment.

I like to think he's just wearing like 50 pounds of kimono.

I remember reading a post that explained that WW Ganon wasn't "fat", but instead just had a bit of muscle and his body merely looked that way because of his standing position.

But for the purposes of everyone's jokes, he probably felt like reinventing himself, and there was a lot of Moblin at the Forsaken Fortress...

I think I read somewhere that while there are dozens of Links and Zelda is a name that's been carried down through the royal family, there's only one Ganon.

That he always looks so different between games is probably due to atmospheric conditions changing his face, body, and hairstyles in every era. tongue

[up][up]I'll admit, it's less punny, but I love the idea of Ganondorf dual wielding in a major fight while weighed down by a few hundred extra layers of clothing.

Anything that isn't a copy of Falcon's moves will do fine for me.

At this point, I'd be fine with his current moveset just continuing to evolve away from Falcon, rather than changing wholesale.

Just change his specials, so he has he earthquake punch, dark energy ball, flight mode, and Flame Choke.

I have a message from another time...

I would probably have less of an issue with a playable Mii if we didn't already have someone who looks almost identical to a Mii, complete with the same hands.

Just what I guessed. You can change the stage's skins(confirmed at least for Wii U?).

Also, he confirmed the name as "Boxing Ring", or that's just a description. Close enough, meh.

When Smash Bros. Logo joins the Smash, W.V.B.A. Logo is in charge of the boxing arena. W.V.B.A. Logo: "Leave it to me!"

So, how about other playable mon ideas than just Lucario and Mewtwo?

How about Eevee? Though they would need to get clever. Eevee needs its own set of moves and some way to evolve into any of its forms, but it would not be able to revert. Sort of like a Zelda/Sheik deal that doesn't revert, but instead of just Sheik, you get a bunch of options.

The evolution shouldn't be something you can do from the get go, but shouldn't be something limited to final smash only, as that would hinder Eevee too much in itemless matches. Lil Mac got a special gauge for himself, so why not give Eevee an Ev-O-Meter?

Dunsparce.

It's clearly got the best shot of being playable.

What if Eevee evolved based on your playstyle? That way, everyone loves Eevee!

(By this I mean each Eeveelution is tailored to a specific style/method of fighting.)
