I know it's old by now, but I don't care. I'm just reading it.
Impressions and observations from invitational players:

Sounds like it could be the worst Smash game yet, or at least in contention. Hopefully the team at Nintendo is really listening to feedback. The grand finals of the invitational didn't look to hot either. And Sakurai's comment at today's roundtable inspires 0 confidence:
"When creating a game, we cannot just appeal to traditional fanbases. We need to reach out to new gamers, and cater to many target users."
Also, this is awful news if either point is remotely true:
Brawl was his idea of that too, right? Sounds like his plan to 'appeal to everyone' is to try and make the game play worse for the people that enjoy it most.
We'll see though. Even if it's the worst Smash, it will probably be great. And I'm probably just jumping to conclusions. We still know so little about this game.
