It most likely isn't.But is this really coming out in the spring? I feel like we know almost nothing besides the new characters.

Uhmmm... I thought Rosalina was too big compared to Mario and Peach to make her presence make sense.
sakurai needs to prepare for the trailers for his next two newcomers now:
Ridley confirmed!Uhmmm... I thought Rosalina was too big compared to Mario and Peach to make her presence make sense.
Poor Daisy. Rosalina's only been around for a few years and she's already in Smash.
Rosalina looks like she plays pretty differently than the other fighters, so that's awesome.

Her profile is partly up on the website, and curiously the url is http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/rosetta.html
I wonder if they're using fake character names temporarily so people can't just guess newcomers before they're uploaded?
Edit: now its a broken link, hmmm.
Still think we're getting Alph as a Olimar clone too, not sure about Jimmy but we may get some kinda Wario rep.
Not really a character you'd get hyped for but I appreciate the fact that Sakurai introduced a puppet-style fighting game character to Smash. She plays nothing like ICs, their only similarity begins and ends as a duo character.
Uhmmm... I thought Rosalina was too big compared to Mario and Peach to make her presence make sense.
Well she is "god" right?She seems to be able to size herself for different situations. She is about Peach-sized when Mario meets her in Galaxy. But at the end,when she sends Mario back to the Mushroom Kingdom, she is TITANIC. Like maybe 20x larger than Mario.
DK seems to have gone from being the coolest dude around to a bit of a dimwitted ape. Sad times.
Needs more boom box!
Gotta see how many people guessed Rosalina in the prediction contest thread. I know I didn't.

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
Still leading the prediction thread.
Rosalina - 4.21%
Uhmmm... I thought Rosalina was too big compared to Mario and Peach to make her presence make sense.
No instant airdodge pit?
...WOMBO COMBO?!?
Holy shit I just realised. Playable God in Smash?
Palutena confirmed?
Great minds think alike.Call me crazy, but I feel like Rosalina's announcement improves Palutena's chances. It shows that Sakurai thinks it's important to add more female characters, because Rosalina definitely did not get in solely on merit.
Poor Daisy. Rosalina's only been around for a few years and she's already in Smash.
link?
You have to realize that when they showed Brawl trailers, characters also didn't air dodge when they were getting combo'd -- or that is to say, the character/player getting combo'd didn't make a conscious effort to air dodge/press L or R.
They want the game to look good, the game won't look good if Pit air dodged out of that combo.
We won't know if you can cancel hitstun with an air dodge like Brawl until we have it in our hands. There's no point in analyzing the footage for hitstun or when hitstun ends lol.
I still don't see it.in the main site. Click the character and it will show moveset + taunt with appropriate (revealed) miiverse screenshot
Rosalina looks fantastic for 1 on 1, but since she goes into an animation whenever she gets Luma to do anything it seems like she might fall apart in 4 player free-for-alls. Really looking forward to using her regardless; she seems tricky and has a lot of potential.

I also noticed this at 1:48-1:49 she has super armor, possibly when the white luma is out or super armor on the move. Also at 1:50 possible float cancel.
I still don't see it.
Now Marina never being in smash is gonna make me sad ;_;
I caught that too, but I didn't know what to make of it. Even after watching it a few more times, still don't understand fully what's going on.
Her (neutral aerial?) spin also gravitates items nearer to her. A pretty cool gimmick, albeit likely irrelevant in competitive. (Check the scene with Marth on Battlefield.)

Also at 2:16 pit does Brawls air dodge , so still as of now brawl dodge confirmed (no wave dash)
