Will he just spend the whole fight complaining?

Yes, about bad graphics and how we don't care. Nintendo should have a New Super Mario Bros. Wii level and have Cassamassina only playable on that level.

So we got one actual new character reveal, and the information that Shiek and Zero Suit Samus will be taking up their own character slots now...

While the rest of the direct was awesome, it's really starting to make me fear for some of the returning characters. We're up to 29 already with still so many from the old roster not announced yet D:

Greninja! That was unexpected.

Also: the 3DS game is releasing before the Wii U version? And this summer??? HYPE!

My quick impressions: nearly 40 minutes of sheer awesomeness topped with a kind of underwhelming character reveal. Too much Pokemon!

I'm loving all the additions and refinements to the series, though. Looking forward to custom movesets, online modes, and the glorious return of City Trial!

Smash Bros. 3DS coming out in Summer 2014. Hell yes.

Smash Bros. Wii U coming out in Winter 2014. (I'm okay with this as I expected it and it'll give me time to get the 3DS out of my system before a new Smash).

Lots of stages it looks like and two songs a stage is nice. Hopefully that's a minimum. I love that stages have a Final Destination-mode. (most of them anyway) Should give those "Fox. No Items. Final Destination" people a bit more variety.

I like that they are catering more to people who like to play like that as well as people who don't. I suspect the online mode will be very good in terms of matchmaking and having players find satisfying matches. Linking to the Nintendo Network ID is perfect and I totally expect great use of Miiverse, at least for bragging.

I'm fully expecting to like these more than their predecessors.

I'm excited about Zero-Suit Samus returning and as a separate character. Nice character model too. Sheik returning separate is also appreciated. New moves should make both of them a bit more unique. I love Zelda's new down B move, which no-longer brings Sheik in but instead utilizes a phantom iron knuckle or whatever it's called. Rosalina looks to be fun to use too with that gravitational move and the like.

The info we received on known returning characters was all around great news. New moves. New subtleties. It seems each character will play different from each other more than ever before. Yoshi's return is an epic one because he looks so good. I like his new character model.

CUSTOM MOVE SETS! I'm excited but I know many others who will be WAY more excited than me. And they alluded to different outfits for characters (like the male Wii Fit Trainer and Little Mac's old-school mode). I wonder if Custom Taunts will exist too.

Smash Run seems like a lot of fun. Hey GameDadGrant this is one fighting game I can't wait to play online with you!

Charizard as a separate pokemon fighter is good news IMO. Since the Sheik and Zero-Suit Samus rule, I wonder if we can later expect Squirtle and Ivysaur.. but I doubt it for some reason. I definitely think Greninja is a spicy move and I'm all for it. They totally trolled us about Mewtwo though. So with Pikachu, Greninja, Charizard, and Lucario, that's four Pokemon fighters. Jigglypuff may return too which might make five. I wonder if this is a good thing in terms of roster. I would hope they would keep it some what proportional so the series didn't feel like it had too much Pokemon.

I fully expect to lose my mind in the best way when these two games return. I am totally getting both.

Maybe it's the new uniform, but it sorta looks like Zero Suit Samus got a boob job to go with those new stilettos...

I think I'd be way more welcoming of Greninja if he was this game's replacement for Lucario. But having both him and Lucario in almost feels a little bit like Poke-overkill!

@nate38

Yeah I picked up on that. Could just be new lighting.

@TriforceBun

I wouldn't have minded that. I wonder why they're putting in so much Pokemon.

Having the 3DS one come out first is smart, it'll get people like me who were just going to skip it interested.

I wasn't expecting much, but I feel like even less than what I expected was shown.

My feed was cutting out like crazy but are you FUCKING serious the 3DS version releases first??

Why are they doing this, exactly?

Not buying, sorry. Oh and I love how the 3DS Version gets an awesome looking adventure mode thingy. Fuck that.

-Zero Suit Samus looks pretty cool. Glad she's being reworked (along with everyone else)
-2 Pokemon reveals did next to nothing for me, though it's probably good for sales and others (Wtf is a Greninja?) I mean, the Greninja thing looks cool, I'll give it that
-My feed cut out JUST as Megaman was doing his final smash. Was that X (or Maverick whatever his name is) and a bunch of other Megamen I saw??
