Just thought I'd post a few comparison pics that I found.

I kinda like the Melee style of Samus better...

And yeah, all in-game models, or pretty dang close anyway. 

maybe from the snapshot mode?! (that would explain the other angles)

Great comparison shots Ben.

Guys... have you seen the new update to the site? This is actually the first new information we have, an item called the Gooey Bomb. It sticks to players, terrain etc, and if you're hit you can try to get it to stick to someone else. Pretty nifty.

Then someone pointed out to me something interesting.

Needless to say, I shat bricks.

In case you don't know them. 

A taste of things to come? 

OOOH....marios trousers are looking beautiful now thats what i call detailed denim... lol

Don't really know those characters, but the sticky bomb sure looks similar.

 New Pit pics:

Pit looks like a very interesting character to play. I'm guessing he'll have a decent ranged attack, very fast normal moves, and good aerial abilities, but be somewhat light, and won't have very good smash moves for getting opponents off the screen. There's also mention of the player being able to affect the trajectory of his arrows on the site, in case someone is interested, but too lazy to check it. This update sort of debunked my earlier assumption that they'd be updating the site with 2 characters per day, although it might still be a once-in-a-week in thing.

One character is certainly fine with me....I'm loving these daily updates.

New information every day til Novemberish? That's a lot of info.

i like the last pic of mario with the goeey bomb, he looks drunk!
