I for one am hoping for Psystrike rather than a mega. Sphere of Destruction and call it a day.
The mode.
Fortunately Ganondorf is great to play in All-Star mode. ;p He's got so many powerful smash attacks that I didn't even have to use all the healing items on hard.
The easier characters to use seem to be the ones with very direct smashes, because your opponents will just keep coming at you unless you really get at them.
You gotta believe me when I scare you away, all that I wish for is that you would stayReverse Falcon punch is always a one hit K.O. on easy All-Star.

Call me butter, because I am on a roll! 3ds friend code: 5258-0885-3903 Wii U: Bowser CharizardSo, little brother gets up and decides to start playing Brawl today. It's a little weird hearing the latin singing of the into after I've been used to Smash 3DS for a while now!
Also he's playing through the abandoned playground levels of Subspace Emissary, so now I've got Lucas feels (his cutscenes made me want to give him a hug before I knew Mother 3 was a thing)... Run, boy, run! Don't let the giant Porky statue catch you!
There is a Smash Bros. Guide available at Game Stop, Walmart, and possibly any other store that sells Smash. It lists every single attack and the range of damage it can do. It also says how many hits the move is capable of connecting with. For example it says Greninja's Water Shuriken hits up to a maximum of six times.

It's worth noting that overall, Greninja has the best mobility out of all characters. Having the 3rd highest falling speed, 4th highest fast fall speed, 6th highest running speed and 4th highest walking speed. Being slightly above Sheik in all categories.
EDIT: Oh wait, that would be Fox actually.

Hey look: Air Speed Rankings
Jigglypuff and Yoshi tie for fastest air speed, Wario comes in third, followed by Zero Suit Samus and Greninja. After the top 5 comes Mario at 6th place.
King Dedede has the slowest air speed, followed by Luigi, then Ganondorf. After that comes Kirby, then Olimar.

Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!Welp, goes to show how often I play the frog, I guess...
And Yoshi being tied with Jiggles explains a lot and is part of why I like playing him so much. I'm always jumping around. Can't stand playing characters with low sideways movement in mid-air. I'm cool with middling speed in my characters, but I need to be able to flyyyyy!
... and now I'm really surprised by how low Pikachu ranks. Huh.

Third party characters are quite harder to deal with than something you own...
And I bet the moveset will be a retouched Melee one, rather than a new one, because creating a brand new character may be a bit too much now.
