I'm not so sure she's that great, despite what Sakurai may say. She's certainly a bit faster, but it isn't melee speed, and it looks like her missiles and charge beam have roughly the same knockback as they did in Brawl, which was a big factor as to why she was so bad.

Srry if i didn't really express why. Sakurai stating she's top tier wasnt why i said it. As of all 24 characters shown through gameplay, i can safely say Kirby+Sheik and especially ZSS are going to be amoung the top tier (Bowser has a chance though i think its to early to claim). One ggood thing is i dont see tiers being a huge difference like previous installments (meaning more balanced!)

As for why i think she's much better is not her special atks (though her up special is much better and down special comes out faster) but her neutral air is very good, smash attacks arent garbage (use to be terribly worse) and overall Chain+Airs are buffed.

I think she wont be close to how bad she was in SSBB :)
