As we probably all heard, the new Super Smash Bros. trailer was shown today. Here it is:
Outside of Megaman and the Villager from Animal Crossing, we're seeing familiar faces with Mario, Link, Pikachu, Pit, Samus, Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Fox (and Kirby).
Mario returns looking snappy as he always does and he looks less "realistic" with his clothes as he did in Brawl, instead Mario has a Galaxy-feel to him.
Link. It seems like they fused his Twilight Princess appearance with his Skyward Sword appearance - not totally realistic nor painted/cel-shaded -, which to me is a shame since it appears so far that he'll more or less function as he did in Brawl. Remember when Fox always had his blaster out? Well, this might be a placeholder or it might be the final thing. Personally, I don't like it since his Skyward Sword form could have added a lot of interesting mechanics for Link. The Skyward Strike, the parachute, whip, bomb rolling, new bow model, and overall mobility since Link could sprint and wall run in Skyward Sword. With the tier list and Link constantly being on the bottom, I had hoped that a Skyward Sword influence could have made Link more capable, but hey, it's a game and when played for fun nothing matters except fun. And I wished that Link could move while using his bow...
Fox has no new appearance except for looking furrier. I can't say much since Fox hasn't had a recent game since Command and the 64 3DS remake.
Pikachu is Pikachu, do I need to say anything? Fine... Pika-pika.
Pit looks kind of looks like his Kid Icarus Uprising form, like more cartoony than his more realistic form in Brawl. Otherwise, Pit hasn't changed that much. His Up-B, the flying move, I think is faster now instead of the hiccup-y version in Brawl.
Bowser like Mario, appears to be based on his recent Galaxy, Super Mario Bros. U, etc. forms instead of that sort of creepy, realistic turtle in Brawl. And like some of the others, not much to say. After looking at his "section" in the video, Bowser seem more agile. He did a drop kick which I think Bowser was never capable of in the past Super Smash Bros. Animations have changed a bit too. This might mark the reign of Bowser... finally for him. After seeing what Bowser was capable of in Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi, Galaxy, his recent titles, I didn't like how Bowser was in Melee and Brawl, this slow, clunky villain who had terrible recoveries. So he's heavy, so what? Now Bowser appears to be more of a powerhouse similar to his Mario appearances instead of a walking boulder.
Donkey Kong, same as the others, less furry I think, there wasn't much video time and I think there are some images of him floating about. His Up-B is now angled instead of being parallel to the ground now.
Samus has changed a lot compared to the past Super Smash Bros. Her power suit looks like the one from Other M, her recent game. In the past Super Smash Bros. she always looked like she was from Super Metroid or something. None of her appearances were based on recent games, like Brawl could have used her Prime 3 Varia Suit or something, but nope, Samus was still in her Super Metroid suit. Reason I'm complaining is that her Prime suits were so sleek and slick. Not only that, Samus might be as quick as she was in Other M, maybe her move might be based on the combat that Team Ninja was a part of with Other M. In other words, Samus might be slow on foot, but her attacks will be quick and brutal. So yea to Samus getting a makeover with her Other M version of the Power Suit and maybe fighting style!
Edit: Forgot about our lovable, pink marshmallow: Kirby.

Also, the 3DS version seems more cel-shaded and cartoony compared to the Wii U version. So technically you're getting two, but similar games. One is more "fun" on the eyes and the other is your ol' regular Smash Bros.
