For those uncertain as to what the game is, it is an action adventure. It bears some superficial resemblance to Pikmin but only in the perspective and the fact that there are 100 characters under your control.
Pikmin is a strategy game at heart with plenty of exploration and adventure but it focuses on management of time and resources and affords you individual control over each of your units, even through the range of actions for each unit is limited.
Wonderful 101 does not (at least not in the demo) give you much, if any control over individual units. You are fighting essentially as a single entity with the individuals in the unit determining the group's strength and move set. You have a much more diverse range of moves than in Pikmin, including defensive, offensive, jumping and special moves with combos playing a prominent role. Like Viewtiful Joe there are exploration and puzzle solving sections interspersed with small, medium and large set-piece battles. At the end of each section you get a score based on how well you completed the section based on speed, combos, defense etc.
Not sure if that helps?

It seems that you can highlight different members of your team on the touchpad, changing the leader for example. Not sure if this makes a difference to moves you can pull off. There's a lot of stuff to figure out.

You can change your leader which changes the default special you have access to via the A button, doesn't stop you using the other specials though. I'm sure there's more to it than this through the game but that seemed to be the extent of it in the demo.
Demo was a little hard to get your head around at first go so take anything I say with a grain of salt.
