How many of the same characters do we need for the game. Ness is like Lucas and Marth is like Ike. So why would they put the same character types in the same game. That makes no sense and would wast space for a better different characters.

One other thing no one has pointed out Sonic is rolling on a Sonic themed stage which had not been revealed yet, and it looks to be green hill zone, go figure >_>.

I only want one clone and I think mny people feel like me.... we want falco :S

This is F***** amazing.... This has to be the best videogame of all time!!!(well I hope so...)

Wheres luigi? Is he a secret character?

hes not cool enough to be a secret character.

seriously, if i played through the game to unlock luigi id be pissed.

^Luigi is an unlockable character once more.

Concerning Marth: Did you people play Melee?  Marth is considered one of the best and most used players in the game.  There is no way they were going to get rid of Marth of Sheik when they are so widely used and loved.  

Secondly, Marth is absolutely nothing like Ike.  They are both from the same series and they both have swords and the similarities end there.  One is very quick and agile [Marth] and the other is very slow and heavy [Ike] with totally different move sets.

I can't speak about Ness and Lucas, but I think there will be at least a few differences.  The makers of the game shied away from clones on purpose because they were so heavily used in Melee and people wanted more real variety.

Great music but I still prefer SSBM video.

 Well from being VGC's #1 Earthbound fan I can say, Lucas is different from Ness, as Lucas doesn't have PK flash rather PK Ice, then he has the ropesnake to let him grab onto ledges while Ness doesnt, and he also has different A button moves, so while a couple moves are the same they play different, and there is still no official word on how Ness has changed, hopefully back to Original SSB where his PK lightning shot him up higher and also did more damage as he was not on par with most characters power or even speed to make up for the lack of power. (BTW Underpowered and I still stomped people with Ness =D )

i loved these characters from SSBM, glad they're back
