What do you wanna bet that not even one more character, veteran or otherwise, will be revealed before the Japanese release?

[up]We knew about this since E3, though, long before most of the items and even Palutena were revealed.

Two new themes have been added to the site: Bath Time Theme (Vocal Mix) and Mega Man 2 Medley.

[up]...when I read "vocal mix", I couldn't imagine anything but a huge, epic, dramatic opera about the struggles of getting Fido to take a bath.

Also, Sakurai taking mechanics from his previous games is something he's been doing since Melee.

Melee had All-Star Mode, which had the progression (and music) of Kirby Superstar's Arena.
Brawl had menus reminiscent of Meteos, Kirby Air Ride's achievement board, and all-star mode again.
Kid Icarus uprising had the achievement board, Meteos-esque menus, Brawl-style waiting rooms for online play (beat up this guy while waiting), another Kirby-style arena mode, and an equivalent of Melee's trophy vending machine.
And now Smash For is adding the Powers menu and Intensity system from KIU, as well as an equivalent of City Trial from Kirby Air Ride.

Sakurai has a style that grows in number of features with every game he makes.

Not to mention a lot of move sets (especially in the first 2 games) used abilities from the Kirby series.

Ness's yo-yo attacks are Kirby yo-yo ability.

Bowser and Charizards flamethrowers are the fire ability.

Samus's charge shot is basically recycled from UFO Kirby.

I think i'm liking Bath Time more actually, it sounds like it would be right at home in a Nintendogs-inspired track for Mario Kart.

[up][up][up][up] Not really, all of those attacks function basically the same way they do in the Kirby games they came from, except mayber the charge shot. Stretching it would be saying that the egg roll is just the wheel ability or something.

Personally, I like the change to using Intensity instead of the regular difficulty settings. It's easier to find exactly how much of a challenge you can handle.

Agreed with Baffle Blend. That's stretching it a bit.

That said, Intensity looks really useful.

Also, I think it'll be Crazy Hand as usual for going under more intense options. However, the ability to actually change what direction you go could make it possible for other end bosses(like Tabuu) to show up. Even ones seen in Smash Run, I'd say.

The Megaman 2 Medley sounds a lot like a more rocking version of the end credits theme.

The Bath Tim Vocals are catchy.

Full channel.

Yeah, I had little doubts, but a lot of this looks next to impossible to fake. Images are one thing, but full gameplay is another. We aren't talking about some costumes that is not severely hard to do(like that Metal Sonic rumor).

I'm okay with this entirely. But I did have Bowser Jr. on my personally wanted Character Screen, so... besides him, Little Mac, Mega Man(I did want him well before the first trailer that told us the first 3 new characters came out), Miis(I did not predict Mii Fighters, but that's kind of hard to do when they were just created for Smash), and that's really it from what I can remember. Most were Assist Trophy'd(like Tingle) or not chosen(I.E. Medusa).
