Hey guys! Sorry this took so long - those of you who follow GameXplain know we've been crazy busy nonstop every day of E3, and by the time I got home each night, all I could do was fall into bed.
Anyway, here's my promised Smash 4 impressions, observations, notes, etc. So settle in! I addressed as many of your questions as I could, though I do apologize in advance because I'm sure those of you who did ask questions got your answers some time ago. Still, better late than never!
...
Fox - Nerfed. Up smash and up air have lost much of their killing power, especially up air. Blaster still racks up damage quickly; Fox Illusion, Fire Fox, and Reflector seem unchanged.
Final Smash: Landmaster. They nerfed Fox's regular moves, but not this - still one of, if not the most overpowered FS in the game now. Lasts a long time, shots kill quickly, still easy to kill off the top of the screen, etc.
Alt colors: Blue, red, green
Sonic - Generally buffed. Moveset is almost exactly the same, but everything's been powered up to have more KO potential. Still doesn't seem overly powerful, but definitely better. Down air is much better.
Final Smash: Super Sonic. Thankfully nerfed. It still lasts too long, but it's far less powerful per hit and doesn't kill as quickly anymore. I saw several people use it and fail to get a single kill.
Alt colors: Blue with magenta gloves, lighter blue with sky blue gloves, Sonic 1 blue (pale blue) with white gloves

That's all for now! That's the bulk of it anyway, I'll update with items and ATs when I get the chance.
