Let us hope so. If not sooner!

well IF Smash U release this Xmas, I can't see any problem. But... is Nintendo... '-'

But I don't want to be disappointed by Ninty!

Wait... Is it a 3D fighter like Tekken? Because it doesn't look like it.

Yes. At least, that's what it seems

Finally its announced, this is day one for me. makes me want to get a wii u before I get my ps4 next month

How so? I didn't see any strafing in the footage at all.

Not confirmed but from footage i say no (still too early to say intill we get a match or confirmation)

I love Tekken and Soul Calibur but I'm not sure what to think about this.

The is strafing, Lucario dodges one of the attacks by jumping to the side at 0:40, also look at the ground the is a pathway visable and they're not fighting at the default angle at certain points in the fight.
