Hehe, r/smashbros is gushing about both Bowser and the winner right now.
And arguing about if Smash 4 = Brawl 2.0. But mostly gushing about Bowser.
Bowser seems to be enough of a narcissist to enjoy anything based on him as long as it's awesome.
Anyway, now that we've had a look at both 3DS and Wii U versions, I think it's safe to say that the 3DS version will match the Wii U version in terms of being competitively viable. Since most of the stages are different, the respective tier lists will be different, even if the characters play the same.
Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!
Most stages will still be different, and thanks to the footage, I can already guess at some 3DS stages that could be set up as either awailable or counterpick stages. (It's a bit harder when it comes to the Wii U version.)

Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!It probably was abbreviated a bit- The original version is a four-minute loop counting the Ominously Chanted version of the Fire Emblem Main Theme that bridges it.
I sure said that!Remember my idea for Flynn as a fighter? Well, an idea is that he could have Isabeau as an alternate costume.
Also, he only uses his sword for basic attacks. His specials should all involve summoning demons to use a spell.
Off the top of my head we've seen Mario, Fox, Olimar, Pit, Kirby, Link, Samus, Toon Link, Luigi, DK, Sonic, Zelda, Marth, Zero Suit Samus, and Yoshi.
Some might have had their properties changed but only Pit, Kirby, Luigi, and Zero Suit Samus have entirely new ones.

Lessee...
Off the top of my head, Mario, Link, Samus, DK, Bowser, Yoshi, Zelda, Sheik, Marth, Sonic, Olimar, Captain Falcon, Fox, and Pikachu retain their Brawl Final Smash attacks.
The rest of the veterans either have new ones- Pit uses the Three Sacred Treasures, Uprising flavor, Luigi uses the Poltergust, Charizard and Lucario go Mega, ZSS calls in her gunship and seems to handle at least a bit like Snake's FS, and Kirby uses Ultra Sword- Or else have neither been playable or had a picture of their FS uploaded yet.
It's a safe bet that Ike and Diddy will probably have their Brawl Final Smashes while Dedede probably won't.

I sure said that!We know most of them.
- Mario, Link, Samus, Fox, Pikachu, Bowser, Olimar, Toon Link, Sonic, Marth, Zelda, Sheik, Yoshi, and Captain Falcon have the same ones.
- Donkey Kong also has the same one, but now there's a bar/staff above him that clearly shows when you need to hit A to the beat.
- Kirby's is the Ultra Sword, Pit's is the Three Sacred Treasures, Luigi's is Poltergust 3000, Zero Suit Samus's is the Gunship, and Charizard's is Mega Charizard X.
- It's safe to assume Mega Lucario is Lucario's Final Smash but it hasn't been flat-out stated yet.
- We have yet to see the Final Smashes of Peach, King Dedede, Diddy Kong or Ike.
They do still have some balancing to do, it seems. Zelda still seems terrible, and I saw Bowser just rolling right out of Toon Link's up-B... I don't want to go too far and say that I'm worried about Bowser and other heavyweights being overpowered now. Was it actually possible to change characters during the tournament, or did you have to stick with one? It feels like a lot of people picked Bowser because he's great for free-for-alls.

Now let's rewatch that Bowsercide.
