Just now in the stream, the guy was crawling with Shiek. Shiek's crawl animation is the most freaky thing I've ever seen in a Nintendo game.

EDIT: Shiek's chain is a tether recovery!

Luigi has the best taunts. That's all.

Damn it. Isaac could have been there. It's nice to see him as an AT, but damn it he had yards of material to work with.

Wait, so ALL Isaac does is use Move? But... what about Ragnarok? Quake? Spire? Cure!

They literally chose the most boring move possible for him. Even a simple attack would have been cooler.

Snake seems interesting. Very very slow with his explosives but quick otherwise. His Up-B sucks for attack but he has no-flinch frames in there, which is really cool.

Olimar and Pikmin seems pretty...cheap. Like, if you just up-throw them and do his Uair it'll damage the crap out of them and do good knockback. Fox all over again, kinda, though not nearly as bad.

Fox seems to me too light in comparison to Melee, which is for me a good thing. Pikmin and Olimar kind of have a metagame too complicated to work right now, but eventually someone will use them well and I imagine they will dominate the battlefield, as you say. As for Snake, what I like more than anything is his weight. I'm a medium/heavy fighter, and the way he sets up his traps works perfectly to counterbalance his lack of speed.

Who I'm really looking forward to is Ike and Bowser and Ganondorf.

I've always been a heavy/medium, in that order, kind of fighter. Why I liked Roy and Doctor Mario and Link, you only need to hit a few times to really send them flying. Zelda's just wonderful because she's extremely light but her attacks hit more than once. I consider her my oddball fighter.

Dedede looks just brutal.

One thing I've definitely noticed; the Final Smash attacks (For the most part) mostly entail whatever the character needs to balance themselves out. Marth is quick but has a hard time landing sweetspot (especially now that Wavedashing is gone), so he can rack up damage and use a FS to eliminate the enemy. Dedede and Ike can finish whenever they damn well please but they have an impossible time racking up % to make that easier, hence their FS.

I don't know how the newly balanced Star Fox/Wolf characters operate in this agenda but I'm curious to find out.

I'm glad to see someone using the guest characters competently, though I'm baffled at the fact that nobody has recorded a Sonic VS Mario battle yet.
