In his defense, I can totally see Lucas joining an anime club.

It seems all too disappointing that Ms. Pac-Man and Metal Sonic weren't made alts. We should have had more different-character alts than Alph and the Koopalings.

I'm disappointed that Daisy and Blood Falcon remained as colors. In fact, they seem to have made yellow Peach look more different from Daisy than before, lightening up her hair by a lot here. I wonder if they removed the Blood Falcon skull on red Falcon's back?

Fierce Deity (proper alt)

Fierce Deity can't be a proper identified as such while keeping the sword and shield.
 
Even looking at Miiverse snake is more forgotten than anything.
It's like his inclusion in brawl never happened.

Eh, I wouldn't say that. People still talk about him a lot, you always see people talking about how much they preferred Lucas to Ness because of his standard moves, and that includes his grab.

What's Lucas' background? I'm actually curious now.
Play MOTHER 3.
Mom killed by T-Rex pet gone crazy due to technology, brother disappeared, neglected by his father for years, and at the end of the game he has to fight his brainwashed brother and possibly bring the apocalypse.

Holy Starstorm.

The dark side of Nintendo.

... looks like I'm switching my main

Oh boy :( That's sad to hear. I hope he doesn't have Young Link levels of damage or I really won't be able to use him anymore...

He's not awful by any stretch of the imagination, he's still really good. It's just a couple of traits I really liked in brawl are no longer present, like spamming back air after a short hop, or pogo bouncing. The rest of him is the same, if not better. His down air spikes faster, I think, and doesn't ever stop (so it's really dangerous off screen).

Is Samus the best character as Sakurai claimed during E3? I guess things have changed now though but still she must be pretty good.

That is really dark for a NIntendo game.

There are a lot of dark Nintendo games. Many just look at the art style and judge it from there and think it's impossible that a dark story can be a part of a cutesy style.

If we want to get into some lore like territory you could take 0² from the Kirby series as Satan since he looks like a fallen angel and he feeds on negative energy. He lives to corrupt others and sends out his minions to posses people.

About as dark as it gets for a Nintendo game here and yet they still try and have enough comedy to come close to matching Mother 2/EarthBound. To be fair Nintendo has quite a few dark games to their name if you look deep enough, it's just that the Mother series is a pretty big outlier compared to everything else other than some of the older FE games.

So what I'm reading is some of you haven't played Mother 3. You should fix that as soon as possible. You've got time before October 3rd.

Yeah, he was surprised nobody had picked her. And I don't think she's too great. Lost her amazing nair and she can only do one super missile at a time (second one fails).

And then considering
just how tragic the final battle is, with said brother beating down his own father, then finally coming to his senses... and promptly killing himself with electricity and dying in your arms.
Lucas must be one messed-up kid.

It doesn't look like anything has changed about her since the E3 build, to me. She still has a really strong final hit on her Up B (like a lot of characters seem to...) and that was the main thing they highlighted about her that was "really good". But because there was no context given to Sakurai's statement about Samus (whether he was talking 1v1, FFA, or doubles and items on or off) I'd take what he said with some skepticism and not take it at face value. Maybe Samus was "the best" among the playtesters but they left her alone for whatever reason.

Is there any practical problem with a 2 stock tournament? It seems fair enough to me, even if a bit short.

People who are playing the game and are used to 3 stock basically want to keep 3 stocks because there's no "huge lead" you can have if it's 2 stocks. That and if you SD, you don't really have "another chance" like you do in 3 stocks (in 3 stocks you'd have 2 stocks still while in 2 stocks you only have one more chance). But honestly, those two things aren't enough to outweigh the benefits 2 stocks offers (spectator friendly, matches are quicker overall, tournaments will go more smoothly because of it and allow more side events to be possible, etc. etc).

There's nothing inherently wrong with 2 stocks.
 
My only criticism is that they look rather lifeless in their idle position, even as Bowser Jr. Don't know why they couldn't animate them slightly better in that regard.

The moment I saw Bowser Jr./Koopalings in action for the first time post the leak video, I immediately noticed and hated it. It's... fucking eerie dude. They're just sitting there. Not moving at all. Just shaking. Subtly. Ugh.

Well this just makes his trophy description at tad hopeful but also weird
