That freakin' trailer. First I was like, "KIRBY AIR RIDE", then "Mario Kart?", then "Nintendo Kart?????!!!", then out comes Rosie with the title card.
Awesome reveal, but seriously Nintendo?!?!? XD

You're a pretty disappointing Smash reveal, Mr. Misty is a great/unique character.
Haha right? Sakurai was trolling hard.
yeah that was an odd way to tease an unrelated character for smash
Looks like Rosalina is gonna be one of my two mains. I like zoning characters.
Yeah it really was.
Yeah it really was.
more fodder for the game's perverted fans

As in "Heathcliff"
I got pretty hyped by Rosalina trailer. She really brought a lot of things to the table and her moveset is just amazing.
Sakurai, come on and show us the obvious characters and save the surprise characters later.

Sakurai got you good bro
Aw yiss!! That horrible theory that Villager/Mega Man/Wii Fit Trainer/Mii/ Little Mac/ Pac-Man were the only newcomers has been debunked!
Also I hope that the trailer is indication that we finally get Rainbow Road as a stage in Smash. As far as Rosalina & Luma I admit that the character is incredible looking in motion, so far well done Sakurai!
Now we begin another 6 month wait until the next newcomer right guys?

I still don't forgive you for Toad.

DK was the best part of that trailer for me. Freakin' so bewildered by everything.
Maybe so, but Rosalina is a legitametely good character choice.
Hm, might be her run or crawl animation. She kinda looks like she's hiding behind the luma while doing it.

Well she is a heavy.
Yeah, the mix of Mario Kart and Kirby on his Warp Star sent me straight to Smash. If it was going to be some kind of Nintendo All Stars Racing the other vehicles would've been less Mario Kart-y.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Go to the website, they updated movelists.
So far we don't know WFT's B and Down B (her projectile is actually Side B). And that BALANCING! pic is her taunt.
And now we confirm that Villager's Down B is planting a tree.

Still waiting on Palutena

Guessing since Rainbow Road was shown, it's likely to be the new Mario Kart stage.
I guess her silhouette was different enough.
Someone is going to do the letter thing and its going to say " confused dong" or something to that picture.

Still leading the prediction thread.
Yep. I guess this means no Waluigi. Excuse me while I laugh at the suffering. >
Let me join in with you!

Congratulations to all the Rosalina fans out there!
I made this post in a separate thread, but I thought I'd copy it here to share my thoughts with you fellows:
Besides the unnecessary trolling in the trailer, I was really pleased with this reveal. Rosalina was by far the best fifth representative for the Mario Bros. franchise. (or sixth or seventh, counting Yoshi and Wario). Sakurai also did surprisingly well with her moveset, from what we've been shown. Her model and play style seem to fit in just fine with the Smash cast.
From a very, very, very premature competitive standpoint, here are some general thoughts:
+ Luma acts as a dispensable Nana that offers (seemingly retarded) range and presence. Can be revived an infinite (?) amount of times with the wave of a wand, but seems easy to kill off.
+ Juggling and follow ups seem to be a natural part of her moveset
+ Her recovery is above average in both horizontal and vertical planes
+ Utility is granted in being able to block/repel projectiles
+ They give the chick a meteor smash... Oh boy!
- A little floaty
- Seemingly lightweight
- Her knockback seems to be produced only from Lumas, whereas the hitbox on her person is much less powerful as far as launching is concerned
And to anyone who's worrying that she's going to "replace the Ice Climbers": Nope. She won't play much anything like them. Their only similarity is that they have a dual presence on the map. But this duo will likely have no grab game (Luma is more of an tool than its own entity) and will likely focus much more heavily on combos and zoning and the like.
Anyway, I'll say again that I'm very pleased! Sakurai chose a great character and executed her adaption into the series flawlessly. This also means no Bowser Jr. or Waluigi, which I'm just as giddy about.
GGWP everyone
