Mario and Peach are more boring characters than Rosalina.

For those fighting about Daisy VS Rosie, consider this: Daisy has not been confirmed to not be in the game. She could have a song, or a new trophy, or a stage, or playability, or a kick-ass assist trophy.
It has curvature and gravity. It's gonna be awesome.
Besides look closely; the two seem to bee good enough friends to share motorcycles. There is really nothing that was confirmed against daisy with this reveal.

Holy shit did anyone see her spike move.
All the major mario characters are boring, lets not dance around it. Only Luigi and Wario have any sort of developed personality and even then its paper thin.

i'm not necessarily saying they can't come up with some kind of fighting style for Daisy or Waluigi. i'm saying it probably wouldn't be half as interesting as what they've done with Rosalina.

Mario and Luigi have completely different body shapes. I think they're easier to tell apart than Rosalina and Peach, who are the exact same base model with different dresses. Oh, and Rosalina's blonde hair is a slightly different shade of yellow.
Imagine you made a basic nude barbie doll body of Mario. Could you change the clothes on that doll and make it Luigi? No, you couldn't. Now imagine a barbie doll body of Peach. The conversion to Rosalina is simple. New dress, new wig.
If Rosalina were shorter, that would work. She's sort of a magic fairy or something anyway so it would have even made sense!
This is kinda funny considering there was a thread made that identified Rosalina as a playable character in 3D World from a partial silhouette of a sticker, before she was offfically revealed. Granted there were other clues that made the theory stronger, but Rosalina can be easily distinguished from Peach. I don't think you will find people confusing Link, Ike, and Marth because they are humanoid sword fighters, so there shouldn't be any trouble distinguishing Peach, Zelda, and Rosalina because they wear dresses.

No, please elaborate.
Clothing is part of a character's design so it seems a bit unfair to remove it from the equation regarding identifying character silhouettes. Furthermore, to my eyes, Rosalina has always looked taller and more slender than Peach. I agree that they could be more distinct but I don't see how they are any less distinct than the Mario Brothers and I don't think they are that hard to tell apart.

Looked like she had a ring below her.
We get next to zero news about it, six months and no video, but we get two Wii U clips at least.
Oh well, I'm prepared to lower my hype now. So no release date?

Well there are enough minor differences that hardcore fans will obviously be able to tell the difference. I also remember when Mario Galaxy was first revealed everyone thought Rosalina was just Peach with a new haircut. Anecdotes!
Honestly, I feel the same way about Ike and Marth. Their designs are incredibly boring. I hate those characters purely because of how visually boring I find them.
Actually, I like Rosalina's design, and she looks like she plays well. I'm glad she's a new Smash character. I just wish she were a LITTLE more visually distinct from Peach.
Also, I'm crossing my fingers for Palutena.... Now there's a visually distinct anime princess.

Well, space princess peach is not as boring as the the blank faced instruction manual character WiiFit Trainer, so she has that going for her.
Now that they have a certain demographic of fans covered it would be great if they reveal some new characters that long time Nintendo fans would appreciate. Knowing Nintendo though it's probably going to be baby versions of their characters.

It's like you keep switching on and off from making some kind of statement you're too lazy to actually bring up or are just making a terrible argument for gameplay implications that's barely there. What's the relevance of anything other than their outward appearance?
You said it yourself, Mario and Luigi are basically actually the same, just slightly skewed in proportions. They're literally wearing the same thing in different colours, and as you pointed out, colours are irrelevant apparently.
Look at this too!

All the complaining about Rosalina, but her combo potential looks amazing! Her and Luma look like a poor man's Eddie/Zato-1.

I am making no statements about gameplay. I think Rosalina looks incredibly fun and unique to play! You're right, I'm just talking about their outward appearances.
Color is not irrelevant, it just shouldn't be the only difference between characters. Mario and Luigi are more than color swaps. Peach and Rosalina are too, but just barely. Mario and Luigi are still more distinct from each other than Peach and Rosalina and Daisy.
Now those are some unique character designs! Too bad none of them are in Smash
The point is that all of the Mario princesses have the exact same body. Like, they might even copy/paste the base model. Compare that to Mario and Luigi, or Wario, or Waluigi. They basically managed to clone Mario 4 times and still make the characters more visually distinct than the two Princess Peach clones.
I think it might just be an issue with anime style characters in general, though. There's a tendency for anime characters to have identical bodies with slightly different hair. This actually applies to male characters too, like Ike and Marth. Obviously there are exceptions to everything, but that doesn't change the fact that Rosalina is Peach is Daisy with a different dress and wig.

The shape of Peach and Rosalina's dresses and hair are completely different. You can easily tell them apart from silhouettes. You're reaching pretty hard.

Peach and Rosie looking a little like each other makes perfect sense; if you played SMG, you can deduce that Rosie is Peach's great great great great great great great great great grand aunt. Peach and Daisy however look nothing a like; different facial shape, different body shape, and even different height.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Isn't her recovery move the Star ring thingie?
Farting galaxies seems to be no problem for her.
Hey, remember how Rosalina rebooted the galaxy in SMG1? Looks like her flip-kick births another galaxy -- look at what's coming out of her dress:
Farting galaxies seems to be no problem for her.
For some reason I've never liked Rosalina. I don't dislike her, she's just meh to me, I guess. I hope she's popular so I can spank her with Peach online >
Amen to that...Not that I hate rosa or anything lol.

Really dont care what games you play, I play fighting games too boo hoo. For the sake of other people having some sort of audacity to complain is the issue here kind of pointless.

It looks like Rosalina and Luma have interesting playstyle.
Loved Galaxy and she's a cool character, so I'll give a spin.

I didn't even know that there was such a substantial hatedom for Rosalina. She's the mascot of the two biggest and most critically acclaimed Mario games of the past four years or so. So... she's kind of a big deal. A hell of a lot more people would find her more immediately recognizable than Daisy at least, who is probably too busy with her wrestling career to fuss with Smash anyways.
But she looks amazing in Smash, I really, really like how her playstyle looks with Luma, looks insanely fun to set-up moves with Luma. Really excited to see more of her play-style, definitely unconventional by the standards of the franchise. I wouldn't say it resembles the Ice Climbers more than the superficial aspects in any case.

The pun was honestly unintentional.

She's either going to be the most ineffective fighter, or the most beatsly mofo ever to hit Smash Bros, mark my words.
On another note, With a complicated 2 model character like Rosalina confirmed that means that the 3DS can most likely handle 4 of her in a screen at once without slowdown. I know of some people who are afraid that Ice Climbers will be cut because of the 3DS's hardware limitations.

She's getting tons of attention now. Just playing her in 3d world, and now is going to appear in both smash and Mario Kart? Can't wait to see her in the next Mario Party game.

The thing that got me was in the sidebar chat during the Nintendo Direct... so many posts of people going bonkers over this, stuff like X1 AND PS4 DEAD!!!, NINTENDO WINS!! and it all came off serious, not tongue-in-cheek. Gotta admit the star looks cute as hell.
I'm just glad Nintendo added a character that was introduced from their best game (imo) in the past decade. She also looks like a unique character to play as. I would have never thought her play style would be that interesting if she got in, but the Luma is a nice touch. Also more female representation is a good thing, I see nothing wrong with this at ALL.
