You're right. I'm awesome.

But seriously, that stupid anime trailer is giving people the wrong impression of Palutena (the strip taunt doesn't help either lol) when she's actually an amazing character

I was worried Doc would make Mario obsolete, but now I'm not so sure, regular Mario seems damn good.
Hell, everybody in this demo seems damn good.

Oh man, it's going to be so much fun to see how Doc and Luigi compare. Whoever balanced Mario did a very good job. It looks like he can follow up on any given attack.

Have you played Uprising? If not, then the booty and boobs scene really makes the wrong impression of Palutena to people :( Daaaamn you animeee!

Apparently being titillating is the greatest aspiration of the roster of Smash, but I agree. I never got the feeling from Kid Icarus NES or Uprising 3DS that Palutena was some sort of risque demi-god who'd earned her place by exotic dancing all over the place.

Making characters "sexy" for no reason just panders to the creepy/alienating "Waifu" playerbase.

You guys are getting a little carried away. We've seen 5 characters out of a potential +50. It would be nice if Mario and Link were actually good this time, though.

I agree with this sentiment. Palutena was one of my most anticipated characters, yet her trailer ended up being the most disappointing for me. Still excited to use her in battle, though!

thought the trailer was great, not sure anybody would have received a strange impression of Palutena based on what they saw especially with the dialogue before and after SHAFT signature moves
 
yeah i'm loving the variety to these streams. 4 on screen at once and it's like

Mega Man vs. Mario
Mega Man vs. Link
Mega Man vs. Villager
Villager vs. Link

who coincidentally are the only four characters I've seen literally any of these streamers play since I caught wind of em

edit: sweet Mario vs. Mario

loving it just loving it

edit 2: most characters are locked?! didn't even realize

The things we've seen so far (camera focus in the reveal, the taunt) don't seem to be out-of-character at all - playfulness and flirting are characteristics Palutena's exhibited constantly since Uprising. She's never been seen to be a dour, serious character, and this is just an extension of her existing traits.

Well.....Palutena is based off of Aphrodite who is the goddess of love which makes her super sexual, so maybe you heard that from her backstory
Please tell me you're joking.

Jesus Christ, Other M Ridley is fucking horrifying.
The steroid-abusing demon mallard from outer space. I'd have loved to hear what Sakamoto specified to the designer of that abomination.

You know people who don't know about Uprising and don't watch anime won't care about her dialogue and just focus on the fanservice scene and treat her as "lol animu"".

That was Shaft being Shaft for all of 5 seconds tops.
And what can you even expect people to learn from a trailer as opposed to their real game. Not to mention the Uprising cast has had animated features done before.
Case in point, the Lucina/Robin trailer where even Chrom and Lucina had difficulty dealing with Captain Falcon and were losing. Do you think giving people the impression that they were weak characters was a good thing? People aren't gonna check out Awakening then. Sakurai done goofed.

I still haven't seen a credible source for this other than to use as fuel against the "waifu" fans.
 
Pulling off the Villager's down-B is so satisfying.

And, after 4 games, Mario is finally fun to play as.

And the Mother Brain AT look great and is a great reference. As is Dark Samus.

Isabelle animates adorably. She looked super sad when I got knocked out while she was helping me.
