I feel like assist trophy is still a pretty big honor.

Sure, you're randomly generated and share the same glass dome as all the other assist trophies, but being animated kind of makes you like a fighter.

It's like they're all second-string. Way better than a lot of characters who would never show up.

We also know that it's possible to make the jump from Assist to fully playable!

I sure said that!

Not often, but possible.

I wonder how Little Mac made the cut. May just be that he's already pretty much a fighter.

I was kind of disappointed that Saki is still an Assist Trophy.

Greninja was the first unexpected character to me since Wii Fit Trainer, honestly. Rosalina was a bit too easy to guess with the constant push on her to be in games. But him? I didn't think a regular starter would be solo(Pikachu aside, respectively, due to Pokemon Yellow). But hey, fair enough. Outside of Jigglypuff returning(please do so), I'm not sure who I want for the last slot. Sceptile or Mewtwo. Both are great options, though.

I'm sad we won't get another PT since that helps rep characters via playable status specifically. I don't find Assists etc. nearly as great for representation, mind you. But eh, two versions, reasonable decision.

Despite what Sakurai said (very) early into development, I get the feeling Smash for will have a pretty huge character roster. Who knows, maybe Sceptile, Jigglypuff AND Mewtwo are all in.

Ive seen the Greninja trailer now. Cool stuff.
I still want Mewtwo (and Ridley).
The roster looks really good so far, though. Im satisfied.

That reveal was FREAKING AMAZING!

I'm glad transformations are gone. They felt clunky to me and were unnecessary in my eyes.

By the way, was there something in the Direct that either implied or outright stated that Ridley wouldn't be playable. There was according to some people but I sure didn't catch it.

I was amused by Villager pocketing Zelda's Phantom.

I know when I'm playing as Villager I'm going to be saying "Mine!" in the Rubberfruit Soldier voice.

With these new reveals, I've got two almost-complete rows on my bingo sheet...If they reveal Takamaru or Falco, I'll win.

They were mentioning fighting bosses on certain stages and Ridley's shadow flew over the Pyrosphere.

Everyone be like WHO DAT? And the idea is that if you're a boss on a stage you're not likely to be a fighter attacking yourself.

[up]People are "assuming" and assuming Ridley will or will not be playable due to Sakurai saying that boss characters will be appearing in other stages too, while having Ridley off screen following Pikachu in the Metroid stage.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.

I'm actually feeling really bummed out about the staggered releases now. The Wii U version just isn't going to feel new and fresh since the 3DS version will have been out far longer. Not to mention it would have been nice to have during the summer.

Some people are clinging onto hope by pointing out we didn't see Ridley directly except for his wing/tail and that he wasn't mentioned by name. He's still dead to me, no matter what I want to believe. Sakurai, please just shoot him quickly and let this false hope be over with.

Ridley supporters, time to go for King K. Rool, the last big villain that's plausible. He'd be a better consolation prize than Greninja ever will be.

I like how almost no one is focusing on Greninja.

I play my 3DS way more anyway. I've been itching for a new Smash. I just hope we get a few more interesting guys. Mega Man and Villager is the only ones that really piqued my interest ultimately. But my mind may change later.

Rewatching the stuff about custom moves, I do notice that it seems they're all changes made to existing moves, rather than being wholly original attacks. So my guess is you'll be able to assign stickers, or something along those lines, to a specific move and change its effects. I wonder if you'll be able to mix and match multiple unique effects...Should be quite interesting.

The 3DS version should build hype! Everyone would be playing in the summer and waiting for the Wii U version in winter to get a leg up on training. ;p

Yeah, but then we'll know the full roster already, and it'll feel sorta disappointing just unlocking the same characters and knowing in advance. Not to mention, assuming the general gameplay isn't too different, we'll have already gotten used to it instead of starting fresh.

Starting up Brawl for the first time was a very fun experience, and now I've basically been robbed of having that for the Wii U version. I knew two versions was just going to cause trouble for me.

The Wii U version being released later is worrying. And now I'm worried that it'll be delayed to 2015. I'm guessing the 3DS version will be out in August. We'll likely know that by E3.
