Wolf was a much more unique and interesting character in smash though.
Best solution would be to turn Fox into Wolf and keep Falco as the speedier variant

It does, and it's still goooooodI played against Megaman a bunch a couple of days ago, and never noticed them even try to use the hard knuckle. Last night I was off the stage and Megaman jumped off and missed me with a hard knuckle, but it was scary to see him try to do it.
On an item note, can someone please confirm that the aluminum homerun bat still has the classic "ping" sound even outside of homerun mode? I haven't found any video of it yet, and I didn't get any homerun bats in a bunch of demo games today.
That's why I actually prefer Gekkoga nowGreninja is a funny name, because it's a play on words in several languages (French, Spanish, probably other Latin based ones), but not in English.
Yes. The thunder cloud when you use Thunder.Also, does pikachu have a meteor? Mario has f-air, Megaman has d-air (I think, haven't played him yet), Link has d-air, but I don't know one for Pikachu and Villager.

Ike can't stay much longer. His inclusion in this game is nothing short of a miracle, truth be told. He's from a low selling duology of games that are several years old at this point and now that FE is turning a new page with new faces, someone will surely either inherit his moves down the line or he'll just be lost to the ages. I'm completely fine with this, as long as we continue to get good FE representation.
I'm honestly still AMAZED he didn't get cut in this one. Like.. Amazed.
I think his inclusion comes down to several factors:
1. Unique moveset. Until they give Ganondorf a sword, Ike fills the role of a heavy swordsman. I think this just hits a niche playstyle of a strong, disjointed hitbox that Sakurai wants to keep in the game for the time being.
2. I think Ike is internally popular at Nintendo. There was a decent amount of Ike fan service in Awakening, and he stays high in FE popularity polls (likely due to smash). Sakurai is a big FE fan, if you couldn't tell, and he probably just has a soft spot for Ike.
3. He's Guts (from berserk). I can only imagine that Sakurai and team are huge anime fans, and Ike is so incredibly Guts it's not even funny. He even has a color alt in this game that is basically Guts. I wouldn't put it past them to include him just so they could have someone like Guts in there.

Yeah, you can.
Wait, the cloud only, so you would have to be way underneath them? I was trying to hit them with the actual impact point from thunder, but that, or the bolt, seems to send them sideways instead.Yes. The thunder cloud when you use Thunder.
Good luck actually getting that meteor though. :V
Villager's DAir meteors if you're lucky. (If you get three turnips)
Ike took down a god. Getting cut from Smash is impossible for him.
You forgot the most obvious reason thought.

Do you see my avatar? I just assumed it was obvious to everyone.
Greninja is a funny name, because it's a play on words in several languages (French, Spanish, probably other Latin based ones), but not in English.
But Gekkoga makes more sense and sounds cooler to my uncultured American brain :V"Greninja" is a play on words, though. It's just that the word in question isn't an English word.
Wait, the cloud only, so you would have to be way underneath them? I was trying to hit them with the actual impact point from thunder, but that, or the bolt, seems to send them sideways instead.
Also if you use thunder off-stage, you're nearly suiciding unless you get the two-direction up-B off properly.
Or vice versa, just give Fox all of Falco's old specials through customization and turn Falco into a more feral fighter, like a true bird of prey. Mesh together a lot of his old properties and some of Wolf's fiercer moves.
Could've been cool, anyway.
But Falco's a dickhead, not a feral fighter.

huh that's not Nephenee
Any place to get Capture for 3DS XL? I know the 3DScapture site, but they only do regular systems.
What about Amphinobi?It does, and it's still gooooood

Level 9 CPUs seem WAY smarter than in any other Smash before.

Ike is way less 'safe' than Robin is, and I say that confident that Ike is going to return to the next game. Robin offers a completely new playstyle from any other FE character (so getting rid of him/her would be incredibly baffling given how different he is from any other character), and Awakening itself represents the most popular franchise that the franchise has ever seen, as well as being major turning point in terms of its' overall success. It literally saved the franchise, after all. FE13 is going to be remembered as a big event for the series, and characters like Robin and Lucina strike me as anything but 'flavour of the month' - definitely not to the same extent Sheik or Ike were. You might have a case for Lucina, but while there are definitely 'other' easy clones you could make off Marth's base, few are as ridiculously popular as Lucina and she's the only female FE representative (which frankly, the series deserves). Her best shot at being 'knocked out' is if she's replaced by the next game's Lord, and even then I'd doubt it. I expect her to come back, anyways, likely with a little more differentiation in animations/properties.Lucina is probably the least safe. She was easy to make, but she's really flavor-of-the-month (moreso than any other character added in Smash like... ever) and if they needed to make another quick clone I'm sure there are other potential Fire Emblem characters in the future that could fit.
Dark Pit and Dr. Mario are always going to be low hanging fruit.
The third party characters will likely never be completely safe due to their very nature, so don't get too attached to them.
Greninja is probably the next most likely. He really feels like he's in it just for the sake of having a new Pokemon playable. He's not really a series mascot like Pikachu, Lucario, and Charizard are, and he doesn't have Jigglypuff's eternal veteran status. He's easily the weakest link there.
Otherwise, I dunno. There's always other possibilities but none of the others strike me as obviously unsafe. Either Rosalina or Bowser Jr. could go (probably Bowser Jr.). Robin is probably the least safe Fire Emblem character after Lucina, but he does a good job of representing tacticians and My Units from FE, so I dunno.
You know who I haven't seen online at all? Both charizard and Pac man. Do they suck or what?
They seem a lot less offensively orientated to me, to a fault, almost. I had a Level 9 CPU Olimar do nothing but roll back and fourth around me (while I stood still) for a minute straight once.
I thought he said Lord.

People are sleeping on Charizard really bad lolYou know who I haven't seen online at all? Both charizard and Pac man. Do they suck or what?

Don't underestimate his popularity in Japan.
Gotta abuse those generous invincibility frames. Speak of that, how fast is yoshi's roll now?
Guys...
Kirby basically replaced Ice Climbers...
Any place to get Capture for 3DS XL? I know the 3DScapture site, but they only do regular systems.
I think Zipzo said he was using an XL that was modded for capturing and didn't have the bulk of 3DScapture, but I don't remember what it was.
Also, Pikachu feels kind of bad in the demo. Thunder is completely useless now that you can't use it to KO people off the top of the stage. Up smash also feels really weak now. He racks up damage well enough, but nothing really felt like a solid kill move. Plus a lot of his moves have a ton of end lag.
Mario feels really good though. Love getting those KOs with fair and fsmash/usmash/uair are also good KO moves, or at least get the opponent out there to finish them with a fair.
Played a little Link. I have sucked at using him since Smash 64 and that didn't really change here. Never lost a match with him but I'm just bad at managing the projectiles. Haven't played Mega Man or Villager yet, I can't see myself enjoying Mega Man though.
By the way, did Ganondorf's move set get changed at all or does he still have Captain Falcon's moves?
Also, this t- shirt doesn't look too bad, although the wristband would never get worn:
Rockman is sooooo bad.
Little Mac not having an air game is painful. I can't play either of those characters because it's just so bad. Rockman especially...

Are you able to use items on the Final Destination forms of the levels, if you want? And for that matter, can you still toggle the frequency of items on an item-by-item basis?
I have one and it definitely makes a difference. I bought it when I first got my 3DS because when playing MK7 and KIU I was getting terrible cramps when playing. Been using it with the demo and I think I'd have the same problem if I wasn't to use it. Recommended.

His warlock punch has super armor and his customs are broken as hell. Its a good time to be a Ganon main.
Woohoo just beat classic on 9.0. Captain falcon all the way. That knee destroys everything.
