Those blast zones are absurd.

You guys think Lucina is based on what Roy was planned to be in Brawl?
They mentioned this on the tournament stream and I could see it possibly being the situation. Doc certainly seems like he has some changes he may have had in Brawl.

You're going to get so burn out of the game lol. I bet you've played like 20 hours of the game already!

GW should not be able to live until 150%.

maybe, I like what I'm seeing
Seriously, he's one of the lightest characters in the entire series. :/

Appreciate it. And Yaaaaaas with the bolded.
He also has very low kill potential.
Shulk though. I'll never forget the stream I saw earlier. Some dude brutalised a Little Mac player without trouble.
Most of the fighting was off-stage too.
Watching videos at Shofu's YouTube channel, Palutena is quite the beast. She can use Reflect to send Mega Man's Forward Smash back at him from halfway across Tortimer Island. Her Auto-Reticle hits fast and hard and repeatedly. And that Up Smash with the floor-to-ceiling pillar of light is not only incredible in its reach -- it's quite strong! As Shofu noted, Palutena is a rushdown character who gets in your face. Looking forward to playing as her. 
Also, at the same channel, I saw a Larry vs. Shulk match. I continue to be amazed by Bowser Jr. and his alts; what they lack in sheer KO power, they make up for in countless mix-up options that allow you to pressure your opponent. And the Shulk player impressed me with skillful use of the Speed and Shield arts. I thought people would mainly use Buster and Smash, but this player stuck mainly to Speed and Shield, and did well.

Not necessarily! Replacing the moves Ness took would be a simple process. Lucas could just have this:
B: PK Ground
Side B: Rope Snake
Up B: PK Teleport
Down B: Bomb
Final Smash: PK Love
Seeing as how his A moves are different, giving him these new B moves would do a helluva lot.
I already had more than that in the demo alone haha.
Also I'm seriously not joking about Samus, two homing missiles on screen at one? Bomb with a giant blast radius that stays on screen as long as one of Snake's (RIP) grenades? Charge shot that is basically Lucario's Spirit bomb from Project M but bigger? It's all there.
I'm going to enjoy testing these haha.

Did any melee pros make any public judgements of the game yet? Does it meet their standards? I don't want Smash 4 to die after Evo 2015.

I kinda like these two stocks. It makes every death feel meaningful, without having something stupid like one stock.

Awh, really? I was hoping that'd be all purple.
lol Luigi ignored
Can we take a moment to talk about Lucina?
Higher average damage than Marth (1-2% more damage on non-tipper hits) and her smash attacks are strong, regardless of where you hit.
She's fabulous.
Cheers

I don't think that Smash 4 will be able to replace Melee, but Brawl's problem wasn't that it couldn't replace Melee - it was the fact that it couldn't stand alongside it as a viable competitive experience. :v We'll honestly have to wait and see how much fun competing in Smash 4 ends up to be.
No, they just increased the model size of the regular bomb, even though there's a power bomb item in Smash Run :/
Random seems strange in the demo. I got Pikachu 7 times in a row!
Maybe the CPU wants to give you easy wins.

When the demo first dropped, I remember one of the Melee pros saying he was going to drop Melee for Smash 4 because he wanted to enter onto the Smash 4 scene while it was fresh. He said Smash 4 would be his priority.

Seems like top players not named Leffen are pretty optimistic about the game from what I've seen.
Coincidence surely, right?

Jigglypuff is actually pretty cute now. Before I thought she was ugly.
I think the AI's improved also.

The more I play with Megaman, more I have fun with him....seriously fun character to play as.
My only problem with him are his specials (except rush coil), but hopefully the customs fix them.

Kung Fu jiggs is BACK
She may not have the bandana, but she remembers her training
(dat back air)
I feel like Bowser Jr's hitboxes stay out there for like ever.
(and her hat game is better than ever regardless of her lack of bandana)
So good. ;_;

Jiggs looks vicious.
Man, thank you so much for this. It's awesome knowing so much about the game.

They're bigger, but its not like the matches are lasting too long or anything.
In general, if the hazards make the stage more about fighting the stage rather than fighting the opponent they are banned/not legal. Unfortunately, most of the new 3DS stages are pretty much like that so there's going to be a limited stage selection in tournaments.
For example, in Brawl, a stage like Halberd was legal but something like Big Blue wasn't. In Smash 4 3DS, a ton of the stages are either walk-offs, scrolling stages, or have too much going on that gets in the way. So most likely the guaranteed legal stages in this version will wind up being BF, FD, and YI:B. Some of the borderline ones are looking like Arena Ferox, Brinstar, and Prism Tower. So at the very least we might be looking at a 6 stage list, depending on how characters play on those last 3 stages. Who knows, we could find something with a character that makes Brinstar bannable or something.
That's another way to make a stage illegal. If a character can abuse something on it, it will get the stage banned. Things like DDD's chaingrab in Brawl got walk-offs banned (besides the tactic to blastzone camp on them being abundant lol) and wall infinites gets any stages with walls banned.
That's cool but I haven't played Smash seriously since the Melee days. I know I'll get better again but it's gonna take some time. I'm also kind of looking forward to either a 3ds XL or the New 3ds XL.
