Is this Samantha the same as Peachyhime? They do look kind of similar.

Apparently. Thanks to the absence of official-game credentials though, there's a bunch of dumbos asking why she got in
I was looking through various Smashers' twitters a month ago, and at one point she said on hers that she didn't get into or learn about competitive Smash until college when she saw some people playing Brawl without items (though I don't feel like finding the Tweet where she said this). So I would assume not.
Why does Luigi slide on his ass so far?

Being slippery has been Luigi's thing ever since SMB2.
I don't remember that happening in the other Smash games, even though he plays like he's covered in oil.
Butt oil reduces friction by 90%. But seriously, I have that same question.

I guess Bowser's F-tilt has just been buffed.
I'm part of the crowd and I like items. Is it OK to exclude me?

Dude has the best IRL DI.
It's a forced trip that a bunch of moves in Brawl had. While not as bad as random tripping is in general, it can lead to weird things if one expects one outcome and gets that instead.
Still the greatest video.
No, in Brawl every attack in the game has a % chance of inducing a trip on the person who got hit. That is what's happening in that .gif there, Bowser's Ftilt has induced Luigi to trip and thus, because of his friction he slides on the ground across the stage in his trip animation. I don't recall tripping ever taking into account your friction, though, so that might be new -- someone would have to check Brawl by doing the same thing (Bowser's Ftilt on Luigi until he trips).
That .gif basically confirms that attacks inducing trips are still in the game (or possibly leftover, they could be removing them slowly, the game is WIP after all. I'm HOPING this is the case). I really wouldn't want attacks to trip again, especially when aerials like Ganondorf's/Captain Falcon's Dairs can cause it to happen when they don't want it to and they're trying to go for follow-ups instead -- not an unintentional trip.
The most commonly intentionally used trip-inducing attacks in Brawl were Dtilts like Lucas, Ness, Meta Knight, Diddy Kong, etc. But every other attack in the game you can't feasibly plan for it to happen and that's why it's bad. It wouldn't be a good thing for Bowser's Ftilt to randomly trip characters like that.
No one really knows other than guesses, such as Nintendo probably wanted more diversity aka more female representation. Demographics and all that, you know?
I would have preferred someone like Admiral from Texas who mains ICs and probably has more notable accomplishments in terms of female Smashers, though.

Mario Kart 8 today!
I actually would find it great, if there are still tripping-effects on some moves. Slow characters like Bowser could really befit from it, since it gives him more time to catch up. Also it looks great, like in the gif, when the power of the attack makes characters slide on the ground.
Like you said, it being a random element, would really create some problems. But Sakruai already changed some random attacks already (like Dedede's Waddle Dee Toss), so it could very likely be, that the tripping-effect on Bowser's tilt isn't random.

PeachyHime deserves her spot.
This should've been the first post. I was pretty hype watching the video (even though I don't know half the players), but as soon as the rules hit my hype was gone.
1 step forward, 2 steps back
They're trying to show off as much of the game as possible for the E3 audience, and it's a fact that the majority of players play with items. You get your tournament rules in the Grand Finals.
The competitive community is very pleased with what they got.

I love the tournament rules. Items are the heart of Smash Bros. I also love that they're making them all pick different characters so we don't get like 16 Foxes battling it out.
I kinda hate items, but I'm totally with you on the character thing. I know at least 3 or 4 of these people would probably pick Marth if possible. It's great that we'll see a little of the game's variety. I do wish the rest of the revealed roster were up for grabs though.
It's too bad this won't be representative of high skill play since they have no way of practicing with a random character (even though they MIGHT get some time to practice before the actual tournament). I hope even with the small amount of time they have to use their character, we still see some cool stuff.

What kind of actual tournament only has 16 players and a limited roster with the competitors not advanced with the mechanics of the game? None.
This is a celebration of Smash and is supposed to show how amazingly fun the game is. The way they are proceeding with the event is great.

Inviting aMSa there and not making Yoshi playable should be illegal or something.

1v1 would have been better, not for fairness sake but for viewers sake. It's really not fun to watch a 4 person free for all because its honestly just extremely difficult to follow. I can live with everything else.

I love D1's charisma and passion. lol.
I'm looking forward to watching the smash bros. invitational if not only to get an inside view of the competitive Smash Bros. community. It appears to be a melting-pot of comedic personalities. I would so join if I didn't suck at competitive Smash haha
edit: does Yipes! play Smash?
I want to know what Robin Williams's response is.

I'm hoping Sakurai trolls the hell out of Geoff as host again like he did last year with the Wii Fit Trainer reveal.

Sorry, not sure if this got answered
Yeah, the competitive scene doesn't actually think that FD is the best stage. A few players do, most players prefer Battlefield or Pokemon Stadium. One of the issues the competitive scene has with Nintendo's For Glory mode is that it's possible certain characters will be straight up better without any platforms and will effect the For Glory tier list. Competitive players would actually want a variety of stages, we just don't want stages that are unplayable for competitive play.
Too bad, FD is so beautiful in Smash 4.
