Aww.. When I read Little Mac's update I was really exicted because I thought he was a playable character, then I found out he is only an assist trophy...

I didn't remember.

Goomba proposal

Those are good ideas.  But what could he do for just his A attacks?  You've already got him using a head butt for a special move.

I have another idea for Goomba - If he touches anyone, they instantly die, unless under the effect of a Super Mushroom.

Also, some news from the people at E for All:

-Fox can triple short hop laser.
-Fox's lasers have less range.
-Fox has a Starwolf outfit.
-Airdodging is now based on momentum and can't be controlled (ex. if you jump up and right and airdodge, you will continue going up and right).
-After airdodging, there's about a 1 second delay before you can do anything.
-Bowser is much, much better. Apparently he seems to be top tier. His claw attack is supposedly really powerful.
-Bowser has a golden costume.
-Samus has a dark suit with a red visor (Fusion Suit costume).
-Samus can't missile cancel and bomb jumping is much tougher to do.
-Samus's charged B isn't as strong.
-If you die as Zero Suit, you stay Zero Suit. Only way to change back is with another Smash Ball.
-Sonic's costumes are just different recolors of blue with different color wristbands.
-Sonic's moves don't have much knockback and he isn't as good as expected. Hardest learning curve.
-Diddy Kong has a Dixie Kong outfit.
-Link has a Dark Link costume (same as black link from Melee but with darker skin and red eyes).
-Ike's Final Smash-Must be right next to the opponent for it to hit but it's an almost guaranteed one hit KO. Does a barrage of slashes (think Omnislash).
-Meta Knight's Final Smash-Same as Ike's but with only one slash.
-Mario's FSmash is really slow.
-Peach is heavier. Her down smash was nerfed (not as much range) but can still do amazing damage if crouch cancelled.
-You can catch the edge even if you face the wrong way.


-Overall, the game feels much slower than Melee. Everyone is more floaty. Not much lag on individual moves.

I'm glad Bowser is better. Too bad about the airdodging though, at least for me... I'm excellent at airdodging in SSBM.

More news:

Ike:
-Slower than Marth and Roy.
-Forward Smash-->Huge two handed swing. Leaves you open for a while.
-Down + B-->Counter attack.
-Forward + B-->Rush attack (think Fox's illusion). Can be charged.
-Up + B-->Aether. Similar to Kirby's. Has the spiking effect as well if you hit your opponents while coming down.
-His spot dodge is really fast and good.
-His back roll isn't a role but is similar to Mewtwo's backdash (the one while charging his B attack).

Link:
Has a golden costume.

Mario:
Down + A in air does the Mario tornado. Doesn't look like it can be done while grounded.

Sonic:
-Sonic's spring (from his up + B) can be destroyed.

Nice vids, Tatsujinken. I've been wanting to see some good Ike gameplay. His recovery looks like it kinda sucks. Seems like it'd be easy to edgeguard against.
