I liked his dialog, even if he was a bad villain. He'd be amazing for Smash though.
Especially his brawler form from the third fight

I guess that's your opinion. I didn't find him as wacky as Zant, lol. Ghirahim was more about anger.

Skull kid isn't exciting, he is much too old and not a lot of people played Majora's Mask as other Zelda games.
Girahim has the most smash potential I've got to say.
Also I hope they keep final smashes, they are a fun thing for casual play and they can be turned off.

at the end of the sixth sense, turns out the main character is the dead one.
I could see that being his Final Smash.
Yeah, meant to say that would be his FS.
Why?

Ghirahim could be an awesome Smash character. He'd have a move that would steal other characters' weapons and use them for a brief amount of time. And also teleport around the stage.

Oh and Ghirahim's taunts would be the best thing since Luigi's.
He'd also have a charge and shoot arcane knives move like he did a hundred times in the first two boss fights.

You are now aware that we are going to get an SS-style Ganondorf for SSBU.
All of my money.
All of my money.
And he's still going to be a Captain Falcon clone :'(
Ganondorf is my favorite character in Smash. I'm fine with this.

TP-style Shiek says, "Hi!"
No, we're going to get Zelda 3DS Ganondorf...
There were plans to have Sheik in Twilight Princess. Not saying you're wrong to say this but there was way more precedent for having a Twilight Princess-styled Sheik.

I know, I'm just having a bit of fun (and I would kill for a TP style Ganny).
Slippy and/or Krystal will make SSBU but be Fox clones with Landmasters. Believe.

On the topic of movesets, honestly, I hope they deviate more. Brawl tried that but the hard-clones from Melee are hard to get over. No reason Wolf should have been so similar. If he's around for the Wii U, he should be very different.
I think he's a perfect candidate from a moveset perspective. But I think it's a good idea to remember that the amount of Zelda games he's in, and the amount he's likely going to be in for the franchise's enitre lifetime, is 1. And that one game will probably have been out for at least two years by the time SSB4 comes out. He's super relevant right now, but he's kind of a flavor of the week, and I don't think he'll be nearly as notable in two years. And yeah, he definitely wouldn't be the first character made playable who only has short-term relevance, but those other characters had release windows much closer to the release of the Smash game in question.
I wouldn't mind seeing him in, but I don't think he's the "sure thing" that everyone's assuming.

His only clone move is Landmaster. The rest comes from the fact that he's a pilot like Fox, but even then they're very different. He's essentially a space werewolf.
HE HAS A BLASTER AND REFLECTOR
TOTALLY THE SAME
JUST LIKE HOW EVERY CHARACTER IN STREET FIGHTER IS A CLONE BECAUSE THEY HAVE FIREBALLS
Ok, so I've been thinking of how they could improve on Brawl.
- Adventure mode. I can see what they were trying to do with Subspace Emissary and it was nice that they put that effort into it (some of those cut-scenes were awesome), but it just didn't really work that well IMO. The controls just aren't suited for a platforming beat-em-up type of game. I still like the idea of a campaign mode with a story linking all the characters together and letting you unlock stuff, but it should be in a different form.
- Characters. I don't care if we don't get a big increase in characters, as long as we get good characters. Let's get Megaman, Toad, Ridley and King K. Rule. Oh and Paper Mario is a personal favourite of mine, so it'd be nice to have him!
- Online. Kinda obvious. Competitions, no lag, rankings, etc.
Also looking forward to how they use the WiiU controller and the 3DS compatibility.

I've heard Super Smash Bros. Royale flying around and I like that as a name for the Wii U version.
The 3DS one should be called Super Smash Bros. Scuffle.
Edit: Alternately for consoles, Super Smash Bros. Showdown.
Super Smash Bros Kerfuffle
Not gonna happen, Sakurai has said characters have to originate from video games.

We need playable Braviary!
Man makes me wonder if they'd play older fighting games
OMG RUGAL AND GEESE HAVE REPPUUKENS! THEY'RE CLONES!

You bring up a good point, but I'm one of those who believes Smash Bros is like a snapshot of where Nintendo's is currently at character/game-wise, in a way. The icons and veterans will always be there but the current, popular characters like Roy, Pichu, Ike, and Lucario are there to give new players familiar faces and really deserve to be there because of their success and uniqeness. They're a pretty good balance of newcomers/vets so its a good thing. Also some characters like Sheik haven't been relevant for awhile either but they stay relevant to Smash.
Same. The wait is too long + no info.

So will we actually see tripping removed from WiiU SSB? I hope there's some interviews saying this was removed...
R.O.B? Anyway, maybe they call him "Epic Mickey" and kmake him always be holding a paitbrush. Boom. Differentiated b/w video game character and corporate mascot.

For the Melee vs Brawl physics debate, I'd be ok with a "turbo" option ala Street Fighter that increases the game speed to around Melee-level. As long as the core movement is snappy, I think it could satisfy everyone. Of course, it would be integrated into playlists:
Unranked playlists (default settings, all stages)
Brawl - 4 man FFA (1 or 4 man parties only)
Singles - 1v1
Doubles - 2v2
Ranked playlists (turbo mode, no items, neutral and counterpick stages only)
Singles Pro - 1v1
Doubles Pro - 2v2
And of course, unranked double XP events! Including Smash Ball Saturday and Mushroom Monday!

Brawl already has something like this, it's in the Special Brawl options. You have Slow/Fast options, Melee had this too. This doesn't solve the core problems in Brawl's fighting engine that heavily favor a defensive playstyle, it merely makes everything happen faster. I really don't see why anyone would have a problem with building the next Smash to be closer to Melee. Casual players loved Melee, and they love Brawl because it has a shit ton of new content but pay no mind to the intricate changes in the fighting engine. Basically, they're pretty easy to please. I guarantee you, had Brawl played like Melee but with all the new content nobody would be saying "I wish Brawl was floatier" or "this game would be great with 10 frames of buffer on all my actions!" or "I wish my shieldstun was much lower so I could shieldgrab everything" or "man it'd be hilarious if characters just randomly fell over every now and then!" etc, etc.
Because I never heard anyone say anything like that in the 6 years and few months of Melee before Brawl's release.

Good point about the other stuff. Even at a slower movement speed, hitstun and shieldstun should be higher.
And definitely axe tripping.

Agreed. I still play the game aggressively, and as a result I hate shield grabbing more than tripping. I could play defensively but that's no fun, my friends feel otherwise though.
If nothing else, I hope they shift the favorability back to offensive styles, I don't care how fast it is or if the mechanics are as deep as Melee. I just want to be able to attack without being at disadvantage for not stalling until my opponent gets impatient and rushes me.
Well, R.O.B's origin is at least game related, and if I'm not mistaken Gyromite is just as old as the peripheral, so it could be argued that R.O.B did originate as a character in a game. And honestly the Mickey suggestion just reminds me of some of the worst Brawl suggestions from way back, like people wanting Harry Potter in the game. I mean, I'm hesitant even of wanting any additional 3rd party characters, let alone non-gaming ones. It would make the roster convoluted, it's supposed to be Nintendo mascots fighting.

There's so many options it's just flat out funny to think that NOW we have just the right amount of "deserving" characters.
Here's a simple list with a few reasons splashed in ...
Common list ...
Lil Mac
Ridley
Krystal
Toad
Some FE character
Bring back Mewtwo
Some characters that can actually get in that arnt ON that list?
LoZImpa
She's been in enough LoZ games to get in. At the very least she should replace Sheik ... GG Sakurai, let go of OoT >_>
Isa and Kachi S&P
"But it's not a successful hit series!!!" w/e, it's an unique fan favorite Game and Nintendo has taken notice of it. They would be great characters for the "not so well known" series.
Medusa and Palutena Kid Icarus
Need I explain the nepotism?
Princess Rosalina Mario
Nintendo seems to want her in the Mario Club seeing as she's in the kart series now so ... why not?
Matthew &/ Or Young/ Old Isaac Golden Sun
/
Golden Sun has 3 games and apparently it aint gonna stop there (Rumor has it that there's a 3DS game coming ...). If EB/ Mother can get 2 characters then why not?
Betty battalion wars
It's one of those series that seem to show up once a gen and I'm sure there's gonna be a game for WU. That my be reaching but hell, why not add in a character from an army Nintendo game?
There's also ...
2nd party and New Ips
Those IPs need love to.
There's a ton of fish in this barrel, just cause brawl got a lot of giv-me/ common sense picks doesn't mean they're all spoken for.
