All these updates are crazy. The internet exploded last night.

I was really excited for this game...until I realized that cloning is back in this game, and just as blatant as ever. Falco, Ness, Ganondorf, and WW Link all attack almost identical to their counterparts. I don't know what WW Link's final smash is, but so far Falco, Ness, and Ganondorf all have Final Smashes that are the same as their counterparts. Ganondorf's has slight variation..but it just in looks. It plays out exactly the same as Falcons.

By the way, when I say counterparts I mean Fox, Lucas, C Falcon, and Link respectively.

I just wish Sakurai spent more time on the character roster, making sure everyone was unique and amazing. We didn't need all of this bonus stuff in the game (stickers, demos, game archive, etc), what we needed was an amazing fighting game with great characters. I really am quite pissed off right now at Sakurai for neglecting these characters.

Especially considering that Ganondorf has magic and swords, he is NOTHING like C Falcon at all. It makes just as much sense making Ganondorf a clone of Falcon as it does making Link a Pikachu clone.

It just doesn't work.

Ganondorf had so much potential to be a great and unique smasher..but no.

I don't know what to think of this game anymore. I still love it and I'm sure it will be one of my favorite games of all time, but I feel so betrayed by Sakurai, especially after he gloated about how he "thought of everything for this game."

No he didn't. He has no right to gloat, no right.

(all of this is of course taken in my opinion)

 I think you're overreacting.  But honestly, it doesn't affect me at all.  If Ganondorf plays similarly like he did in Melee...well hell, I don't mind.  A sword would have been cool...but who knows, maybe a Ganondorf with a sword and crazy magic would have been too hard to balance.
