Everyone has been extremely positive so far with the game!
And at the head of that excitement is how balanced the characters feel this time around. Mario, Pikachu, and Link all seemed to be more viable to play as. Quicker, stronger, just great to use (and this is great, as Link was my main in 64!). Villager looks to be a great character as well (with absurd recover options) and Mega Man looks to be a unconventional character that focuses on spacing and air attacks. Will be interesting to see how folks will get a handle on him.
Ugh. So excited. @_@
