Because Balloon Fight is a way better game than Punch-Out. Also, if Balloon Fighter were playable, why would they put elements from his game on another character's stage? Unless the Balloon Fighter himself doesn't have a stage, which would be strange because any Balloon Fight stage would work as-is as a Smash stage.

You obviously missed the jack-o-lantern in the first screenshot. As much as I would like to say this hints at a playable Balloon Fighter, Sakurai seems to group BF with IC in a "retro" category (see: BF music on Icicle Mountain in Melee), so the fish could just be along as part of that.

A single ladder. With "Snake Eater" playing in the background. EDIT: Or maybe

Almost surprised it wasn't banned, given the various fallthroughs (though admittedly, they are consistently in the same places).

damn furries

Daisy is awesome and Pokefloats is OK. It's better at some places than others. It doesn't really require people to pay that much attention, as it does follow a pretty easily memorized set pattern. I like it a little better than Rainbow Cruise, but I wasn't a fan of Rainbow Cruise. Dedede's moves look pretty cool. His up-b was obvious, his side-b is awesome, and his down-b is wtf. I assume his neutral-b will be a suck-and-blow attack like Kirby's (sans swallowing).

She hasn't been in any good games. If they're really itching for playable females, I'd much rather see Alice (Balloon Kid), Mona (WarioWare), Alex Roivas (Eternal Darkness), or Midna (Twilight Princess), among others. Hell, I'd rather have that archer chick from one of the GBA Fire Emblem games than Krystal.

I heard tales of a metroid AT in the demo, but never saw one in the videos, so I don't know how reliable the rumor is.

playable team of four waddle dees confirmed

Yeah. In another interview, that guy said that Mario Party DS would be the first portable entry in the series. I guess he never played Mario Party Advance.

Or G&W under the DS icon. It had two screens too, y'know.

omg tetris block confirmed as ds universe rep

In some of the demo matches, there have been three final smash balls in only two minutes.

Of course, that would only let you WD forward.

I'm a little disappointed that he won't be playable, but not really that much. I'm holding out hope for either Balloon Fighter or Alice from Balloon Kid though.

Choose Luigi, hold down-right, and press Y immediately followed by R. Once you get comfortable with Luigi, move onto Ice Climbers, etc.

I assume it's the same demo that was shown earlier, in which case Snake and Lucas are not available to play. I would personally like to see more Pit and Diddy. It didn't seem like their abilities were really showcased all that well in any of the videos. Definitely check out the costume options for the characters too.

I've heard tales that air-dodging is no longer directional, but you merely keep the trajectory you have as you dodge. This would make wavedashing impossible. Of course, this is just what I've heard. E4All starts tomorrow, so we'll know more then. As someone who wavedashed regularly in SSBM and really don't see what the big complaint is, I wouldn't mind wavedashing returning, but, at the same time, I would prefer this game to be more different from than similar to Melee. Part of the fun was learning how to play.

All other characters go to sleep and a bunch of peaches appear, which you can eat to restore health.

All of these things are retained in the WarioWare games. I like that they've actually given Wario a legitimate role in the universe beyond "hey its evli marrio!!!" And I dig the aspect of taking a character like Wario and putting him in a completely different context (some kind of absurd suburbia). Not to mention that the games and their characters ooze with personality.

Complete with full heal?

As far as I can tell, ZSS is not gimped, we don't know if ZSS' final smash is an attack or not, and Samus' superbeam has huuuuge knockback. Mario is at 0% and on one end of the stage when she first fires it, and this knocks him significantly off the other side of the stage.

So what alternate colors/costumes do we know so far from videos et al.? Mario - Fire, Inverse, Wario, Brown, Green Metaknight - White, Red, Green?, Dark Pikachu - Goggles Link - Dark DK - White Yoshi - Red, Blue, Yellow, Pink, Light Blue Did I miss any?

Yeah, but I probably wouldn't play Smash against most of you guys.
