I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I do think it's possible Punch-Out could get two characters (what's a boxing match without two boxers?), but since Doc Louis is seemingly Mac's announcer
, I'd say I'd expect one of the enemy combatants.
King Hippo seems the likeliest since he's probably the most well-known character and somewhat seen as the "villain" of the series among fans.
although I guess Alfonso could take over that role

Soda Popinski would be way more amazing.
Little Mac is too Mahvel for Smash.
I love it.

OWGOD!!!

The Punch is mightier than the sword.

The second character i'm actually hyped for out of the new additions. The first being Wii Fit Trainer.
Just need my Solid Snake now

I think the only we'd get Punch Out jumping from zero to two characters is if we get Melee-style model/stat swap clones.

I appreciate that he's in, I like that the NES characters get heed paid to them through Smash Bros, it's absolutely what the series should be about. Doesn't make much difference to me, not being a Punchout fan. I love his aesthetic too.
The more I read up on the Metal Gear series, the more it's baffling he was ever in Brawl in the first place. Will not mourn his inevitable cut. And no, it isn't inevitable like Lucario. Nintendo would look like a huge cuckold man... "Oh, that's a nice Metal Gear Solid V you gots there... oh... oh you don't like the Wii U... are you coming for Smash? ... please?"

Count me in as one of those who was fooled by this reveal. I'm usually not so gullible 
. Today actually marks the first time I am interested in Smash Bros. 4. I was VERY disappointed by Brawl after the excellent first two games (WAY too floaty). I am, however, still very lukewarm on these environments so far though. They have a chance to do some crazy things but most of the stages look very bland. I'm sure there is still a lot to reveal but it's looking like the first two games still reign supreme.

That was great. And I hope they will give us a new Super Punch Out soon.

From the Smash 4 Website:
Aaaand I have a new main.
Falcon punch!!!!!
I just looks like he is going to be so much fin to play with. You can just picture how much fun it is going to be to nail people with that fully charged punch.
For sure. Captain Falcon is the reason I loved Mele so much and his gimping was my single biggest disappointment with Brawl.
This character seems to capture that feeling.
[QUOTE="D";100753016]Absolutely LOVE Little Mac's over-exaggerated movements, especially with his hooks and uppercuts. Reminds me of this guy (which happens to be one of my favorite animes)
[/QUOTE]I got a huge Ippo vibe from the intro trailer. I can't wait to get my hands on this game.

As in "Heathcliff"
I still can't believe that we finally got Little Mac as playable character, and the trailer is still amazing when I watched it again this morning.
I have a good feeling that Captain Falcon is going to be good again since Little Mac seem to be strong, so I have a feeling that they are going to make everyone feel strong.
Someone caught the fact that Sakurai did flash forward the charge video, so it took 200% to get full charge for instant ko.

The more I watch the trailer the more I want Doc Louis's commentary in-game
which won't happen
which sucks
...

Actually wouldn't be surprised if it was in-game because Pokemon Trainer yelled out random stuff too. Plus Little Mac is mostly mute in the games.
Oh I thought his commentary was going to be in. I wish it could at least be turned on/off. Reminds me of the Pokemon Stadium announcer.
Honestly, I didn't think of this comparison originally but the move isn't so bad when you compare it to, say, Jigglypuff's Rest from Melee. The precedent for OHKOs already exists, in that sense (even if Jiggs' Rest isn't a real OHKO, it's about as close to one as can be). Now you have to hope that if Jigglypuff does make a return (which I don't see why not) that they make the Rest like Smash 64/Melee again and not the gimped Brawl version lol.
It would be seriously fucked up if they gave Mac this OHKO move but then kept Jigglypuff's Rest the same as Brawl. Totally ass backwards lol.
Those heathens, don't they realize Little Mac X Wii Fit Trainer is the OTP?
Even being taller and in a suit of armor Samus can't keep up with that boy - meanwhile, Trainer challenges him like even Doc Louis can't.
He doesn't even look OP. Most OP characters has a great air game. It makes it hard to knock off the edge. Don says even in the trailer that Mac's air game sucks. It doesn't appear he can control his fall from his Up+B and I haven't seen an air dash move yet.
I approve of this fanfic. A fitting match.
You gotta do what? Give'em the knee!!!!
One of my favorite gifs on the internet right there.
No one stops the knee.

So gonna happen in the next BitF.
That would look terribly jarring, and it wouldn't really make any sense.
*shrugs*
I'm not trying to argue against continuity of visual design, I just thought the style looked great during the reveal trailer.
I agree. His comments so far have been very encouraging. He seems to have a clear goal in mind for each character for making them fun to play with. I expect/hope that every character will have their own version of the Falcon Knee (so to speak).
He just updated today with something unrelated - can't wait for his take on this, whenever that is!

Had forgotten about him. I hope you end up right anyway.
But you can barely hear PT, Doc Louis would be up in your ears the whole time. =\
At the moment, I think the best implementation for Doc Louis would be as Little Mac's "voice." Since Mac himself isn't one to talk, Louis could chime in with quips here and there. Not as frequent as the trailer, mind you, but the equivalent of Mario's "yahoo!" and Link's "hyah!"
It would be a great way to represent the coach-trainee relationship in a non-visual way. (Although I certainly wouldn't mind Doc Louis popping up in the background, Pokémon Trainer-style!)
Although today's comic does have a pretty great Punch Out cameo.
