I really, really wanted Rosie too. All that's left for my requests are Mike Jones and Little Mac (and Mona or Jimmy wouldn't hurt either).
Indeed. I was floored by this one; the setup was perfect.
Hey, anyone up for making a gif of the Launch Star going crazy?
she has been robbed so often that she doesn't give a damn anymore.
SSB clearly needs more female characters. it's been a sausagefest for a while.

Daily pic up, but her profile isn't yet.

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
- 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.

Here's her render
Rosetta?

As in "Heathcliff"
It seem to be broken but we don't know if it's actually broken until we try the game first. I'm excited.

Luigi needs a lady.
Because Rosalina is more unique than Daisy.
the answer is easy,
SM3DW and she was made in a mainline game (Daisy was created in a spin-off)
japanese name.
just like how Bowser is "King Koopa" in japan.

Because Daisy has nothing to differentiate herself from Peach besides different coloring.
If anything, she has *less* character than Peach, except for what the Mario Sports games did for her, and that wasn't anything to build a Smash character out of.

not sure how i feel about another Mario character, especially one that from a distance is basically just Blue Peach. however, she seems to have a unique fighting style and that's probably the most important thing here.
Rosetta Stone confirmed for Smash?

Hi res render:

Rosetta is her JP name. Which is odd, because Mega Man's page URL isn't rockman. But whatever.
She is the superior Princess, honestly. Not a "shitty space princess" in any way, shape or form. How would you draw that conclusion? Princess is not even in Mario games except for when she has to be rescued. But Rosalina? She is associated with Super Mario Galaxy, the atmosphere, the songs (just listen at the main theme), her Lumas, they all ooze style.
Finally, a good character announcement.
Granted, Rosalina was a totally obvious pick,
but it's still nice to have her confirmed.
Topic title made me think Luma might be a separate character for a second. Glad to see that's not the case, although I still think they should have tooled the Baby Luma into Mario's moveset.

How do you complain about Rosalina not being a character in a game that contains Peach?
That picture would be more awesome if it had Air Ride Kirby instead of Trainer. Cool nevertheless.
This Direct was too much for me, I'm gonna find me a WiiU right now!

Smash GAF predicts correctly again. At first I thought it was Kirby in Mario Kart and was like "Whoooa." then I thought it was Stafy in Smash and was like "What." then it was Rosalina and was like "W.H.A.T."
Super Mario Land was a spin off?

Best part of the poster.

Rosalina isn't replacing Ice Climbers. She plays more like a Jojo character summoning Stands
