Pumped for the character. More pumped for the music to join the Smash playlist.

 

[Mazzo]

That was so cool! Wouldn't it be awesome if we could use this comic book filter in-game?

 

[Vitet]

The training theme.

And it's amazing

My Direct experience this evening:
"Starting off with Smash eh? Alright time for that Diddy/Dixie Kong trailer--"

Sakurai strikes when you never expect him to. And I love him for it.

Bulge alert!!!

This reveal reminded me of when Paulie Malignaggi was Little Mac in the Punch Out (Wii) TV commercial. He looked perfect on it. XD

Didn't know Doc was from the Wire either. Don't really care for Paulie

 

[foxuzamaki]

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but it's the 30th anniversary of the Punch-Out!! series. The first game was released in arcades in February 1984.

How did smashgaf miss this?

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Is it inappropriate to mention how attractive Mac is?

Cause he is.

[zma1013]

So i want the whole game to look like that comic art style.

 

[Neiteio]

Cause he is.

I like that they gave him a unique sculpt to his face. Prevents him from looking like every other 20-to-30-something Caucasian male.

 

[bon]

Badass trailer.

 

[Neiteio]

PSA: If you check out Little Mac's profile at smashbros.com, and click the link to go to the Punch-Out website, make sure your volume is turned DOWN. Startled the heck out of me. Great music, though.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Mac also looks super swole, especially in his render.

thanks for always updating

 

[Het_Nkik]

So hyped for this.

Song of hype: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSFGppy7EUE

 

[Mista Koo]

Surprised they actually made him "little," really wasn't expecting that.
Great production values on these trailers. Oh and the commentary is something (it has to be in the game, right?)

 

[J-Tier]

You have my favorite group pic of all that have been compiled. Great job!

 

[Raw64life]

Awesome. Was highly disappointed when he didn't make it into Brawl. Now just show Yoshi already.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Surprised they actually made him "little," really wasn't expecting that.

Glass Joe's official height is 5'10, and he already looks way taller than Mac.

 

[uberluigi]

So i want the whole game to look like that comic art style.

3ds version should of been like that oh well but glad he's in

 

[-Horizon-]

It was a very slick reveal trailer.

 

[TheLegendOfCap]

I am LOVING the subtle "STRIKE" under Little Mac's right fist hahah

 

[Whiskeymatt]

And my hype goes back down a bit, Mii does absolutely nothing for me and Pac Man ain't much better.

I'm kinda hyped for Mii being a playable character, if true. The fun of having a moveset you could customize should be evident, and if that's not how it plays out you still have the possibility of the Mii attacking with insane things like a trombone, frisbee, and bicycle. Sakurai and friends would have to be creatively bankrupt to not come up with a strong idea behind Mii inclusion if it happens.

 

[MYE]

So..yeah uh, now I want this filter choice in the final game.

 

[Spinluck]

SMASH AIN'T NO JOKE

HIT EM' BABY

 

[Balb]

The attention to detail for these new characters is incredible.

 

[Kinsei]

Is it inappropriate to mention how attractive Mac is?

Cause he is.

I don't see anything wrong in stating the obvious.

 

[Pociask]

Yo Little Mac! You did it! Good trailer, great music, not sure how I feel about his hulking out smash attack. Really hope there are some star punches in there somewhere.

 

[ryanofcall]

Hopes are up now for Shulk

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

So..yeah uh, now I want this filter choice in the final game.

Seriously. Even if its just the style of cutscenes for the final game.

 

[MYE]

He looks BADASS

 

[Mista Koo]

Glass Joe's official height is 5'10, and he already looks way taller than Mac.

I've never played any Punchout. Not like Smash proportions are anything to go by.

 

[Cody_D165]

How did smashgaf miss this?

We were all kinda fixating on the whole "fucking Donkey Kong" thing, since that's out today in Japan.

 

[Jagsrock]

Everything about this reveal was perfect and it breathes new life into the possibilities for the final roster. Little mac looks like he'll be hella fun to use. No amount of luke warm directs can kill the hype I have for this game.

 

[Drencrom]

Definitely the best character reveal so far

 

[Azzurri]

Little Mac is the greatest Manlet in a video game.

 

[Mit-]

That was great, but I don't know how I feel about that power meter that apparently gives you an instant KO attack (?) when charged.

Do you have a problem with Ike standing there charging his neutral B for ages and delivering a potential instant KO? It's not much different.

 

[PadWarrior]

Mario, Mega Man, and Mac, my 3 mains for this game. So can't wait.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Alright I'm going to post what I'm seeing from the trailer.

1. Do Little Mac's speed look fast as if it's melee speed? It seem so fast for me when I watched the trailer.

2. I think he might have combo mechanism which would allow him to make few different moves from one special attack I noticed that he have two running attack so I wonder if he can use running + Side B or so.

3. I like how they are going to reuse Punch Out Wii U stage for 3DS stage since he don't have any game on handheld if I remembered correctly.

4. Look like you have to hold CHARGE for Instant KO, instead of building up bar. I would rather to building up the bar over charging for instant ko.

5. I'm hyped, and I can't stop watching trailer for like 8th time.

 

[Neiteio]

We need a high-res render of his model.

And high-res Koopalings from MK8.

Honestly, their inclusion in MK8 is just as amazing to me as Little Mac in SSB.

 

[marink]

My hopes of Jigglypuff and Ice Climbers returning grow dimmer with each character reveal.

 

[NEO0MJ]

I have to admit, I've been replaying the video several times just for the music. So hype.

 

[PadWarrior]

So Mac is a rushdown character like say maybe Guy from SSF4?

 

[Vidiot]

Well with Mega man and Little Mac I have two of the four newcomers I wanted. Now I just need Ridley and Palutena announced and for Ganondorf and Mewtwo to return.

 

[Sciz]

My hopes of Jigglypuff and Ice Climbers returning grow dimmer with each character reveal.

There's no reason to assume either of them aren't returning.

 

[fredrancour]

My hopes of Jigglypuff and Ice Climbers returning grow dimmer with each character reveal.

There is no reason to think either of them will be cut. They're trickling out characters one at a time for a game with a lineup of dozens.

 

[Rlan]

He looks BADASS

For reference, here's Little Mac as an assist trophy in Brawl:

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Looks like I just found my main. This is the only character reveal that's hyped me up. Now we just need Isaac!

Spoiler

That won't happen

 

[Forever]

That said, I didn't know he was charging it manually, I thought it was something that slowly charged automatically over time. If it's "stand still and charge for a long time", then it's not a problem whatsoever.

It's neither. In the Punch-Out games your meter builds as you string together attacks, and it goes down when you get hit. It will almost certainly work the same way here, forcing you to play aggressive and combo.

You won't be able to just sit back and hold a button to charge.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Not really, though Ike's neutral B is by no means an instant KO on low to moderate damage and it doesn't really travel horizontally either. This one does both. That said, I didn't know he was charging it manually, I thought it was something that slowly charged automatically over time. If it's "stand still and charge for a long time", then it's not a problem whatsoever.

I'm not really judging the game at the moment though. I've only seen one scene of it being used and don't know the overall feel and speed of the gameplay. It's just something I'm going to keep an eye out for.

It's probably really easy to dodge and is situational and if it works like the games it will probably disappear or go down if he's hit
