A game in the middle of development tends to get that way.

Boss character? This game doesn't have a story mode... does it?

It has some sort of adventure mode, at least. But it also has bosses on some stages.

Hopefully we would get some kind of clarification with Palutena's Vanilla/Default moveset.

You're right, but at the same time, he sorta fits the same mold as Ness in the original Smash and Marth and Roy in Melee. Final secret character added/unlocked last from somewhat obscure RPG with a cult following.
I hope I'm wrong though.
About Dark Pit, I'm still thinking alt costume with different lines and victory poses like Nakoruru in the SS series.
About Ganondorf, I wonder if while being reworked as a more original character, Captain Falcon will get some of his moves as alternate moves. I mean what else are they going to replace his iconic moveset with?

I need that Smash tournament to happen, so I can destroy you all. :3
Welp.
But eh, as long as the game is noticeably faster than Brawl Im down.
Yeah it's faster than Brawl and genuinely feels more responsive than Brawl. There is a lot of lag on aerials and a lot of lag when you touch the ground from an Air dodge.
It's just a weird game currently because it feels like you "should" be able to follow up combos and apply aggressive pressure based off of how the moves connect and how fast certain characters can travel, but so many moves have such a degree of lag that in it's current state it's likely to play like high level Brawl in the competitive circles.
After playing about 14-16 two minute battles I think Villager, Link and Zero Suit Samus had the least lag after attacks and hope they represent what the game will play like post-release..
Hoping the coming months won't be like how they were after Greninja was announced.
They probably will

Honestly there is a lot of stuff we need clarification on like how that mode with the bomb works, what changes on the branching paths in classic mode, palutena's default move set, are there other bosses in the game?
Hahaha I love all this analysis people are doing and even some tier lists here and there. It'd be so funny if the final game has many changes and all this analysis is worthless!
That landing lag thing is curious though, it seems that some moves will be riskier since they'll have more lag, but they are also powerful so... it kind of makes sense.

Ganondorf is my main since Melee, I really hope they don't completely change his moveset but minor changes are welcomed. Like if he could use his sword instead of the Warlock Punch.

The only move from ganondorf's moveset he should keep is the dark choke slam, change everything else
I'm in the same boat. I really only want them to change his neutral B and his up tilt. If they get rid of his jab I'll be exceptionally sad.

Keep Dark Choke Slam and Stomp of Doom!
Played the game at Best Buy. I could do old Kirby Melee combos (those which required l-cancel speeds) easy. Kirby dair into up-tilt. Or Kirby bair into grab/dash/tilt/smash. Honestly some characters having lag after moves and others not could be a case of balancing.

They will change up everything for Ganondorf.

Palutena makes me a believer that he could have everything fans wanted and more. Choke slam, Sword, Magic and maybe even his Trident?
Makes me all giggly inside.
Yeah, a lot of characters have good low percentage combos that can utilize up-tilts, but after 30-40% there isn't really much there. But in all the matches I played I never played Kirby so it's possible he's a lot better than the rest. I actually would be totally fine with the game in it's current state if all the characters felt as fluid and responsive as villager, link and Zero Suit, but unfortunately that's not the case.
Too many characters have too much lag. I thought Mega Man felt disgustingly awkward to use. Why isn't neutral b his blaster? Why can't I hold neutral B to charge his blaster?
Do we know this as fact?

Of note is apparently Namco's supposed habit of frame buffering for inputs/animations

Well, Brawl had it too. within 10 frames inputs.
I was going to complain that he said the game was perfectly between Melee and Brawl and then he clarified his perspective. Definitely think it's like 70% like Brawl.
Thought this video was really good. I went in expecting something else.

It might make for the first rational case of play limits.
With how rapidly they must be iterating on these builds, I feel like giving a vocal community a snapshot of early development for them to comb over for a few months might be a bad idea if it ends up being unrepresentative of the final code.

AAAAAHHH just found out Palutena is in this! I just wish she wore open-toed shoes so that we could see her glorious emerald-green nails. <3

He always has great analysis videos. I pretty much feel exactly how he does. Don't dislike the game at all (in fact, I thought it was crazy fun), but I don't want to be, as he said, "afraid to push buttons." I'd like the game to be more offensive than defensive.

All that hate for the Chorus Men really confuses me. I think they'd be a FANTASTIC addition to the SmashBros series. There's so much possibility for a character that is three characters in one! Plus, they're so freaking adorable! =3
IntelliHeath

I don't really care about the franchise or so but I'm eager to see what kind of moveset Chorus Men would have. I'm very curious because I have no idea that they would be like.
I need to buy Wii game for my kids because I could see that they might like it.
It's weird that people are hating on a character that they have no idea how they'll work.
No doubt they're going to have some crazy gimmick that'll change people's mind.
It's probably more because they're taking up a "slot" that could be filled with someone else.

More like they are taking up a slot for their preferred character they would rather take said slot because reasons.

What aspect of it?
They don't play or give a crap about the series, and feel development time should be going to someone else.
Simple really
Wait what hate? Rhythm Heaven is fantastic and deserves some recognition. >:|
Some of the hate comes from the fact "it's not the character I wanted!" while others just don't really care for it. I personally am excited to see the Chorus Men.

Okay, this is much, much better then what Matt was saying in his video. Good job Max. Cant wait to hear your impressions on the 3DS version, even thought you said you saw lots of frame drops.
I honestly think that the Demo was just a old build....it makes the most sense.
I guess the purpose it serves if intentional at a system level?

That's me. Never saw the appeal of the game, but everyone's tastes are different.

Ah, I thought you meant you didn't understand what everyone was referring to. Yeah, it seems like a really odd feature that's been implemented to punish players on the offensive
