Any grab based character, like Ice Climbers and Triple D(not counting recovery)excel more on the ground than in the air. Ike as said. I mentioned Snake and Diddy Kong earlier. Thing is Smash is one of those games where people have access to both ground and air moves pretty much anywhere on the stage, so people like Falco are better in the air, but hang around near the ground to abuse it better. Little Mac could be as much of an air fighter as he needs to be, we don’t know yet. We also have no idea how much having a good ground game or bad air game will affect anyone in this next game
He’s got a rocket upper, it’s good enough.
Mac seems to be the new Ike: armor, charge strikes, a mostly upward Up+B, clumsy-ish in the air.
Lol
Love these Jojo’s pictures
Ah that is dope lol
Ultimately it’s all opinion. Not like this thread actually effects the roster. It’s just healthy debate fam.
Spoiler
People should keep in mind that a character’s size or similarity to another doesn’t guarantee that they’ll have the same move set. Hell, Ganondorf and Capt Falcon share moves and they’re completely different. Also, Dixie Kong has always been fundamentally different than Diddy, even in her debut game. To the guy who said Waluigi only shows up in party games, SSB is as canon as Mario Party, so I’m not seeing the problem there.
Easily the best character announcement since Megaman for me.
Pic of the day. Hey look, a bottle!! This is a special item that can even heal fighters who have accumulated over 100% damage.
INB4 “Items are banned!”
I would like to see more creative items like the Beetle. Ooooh! How about Hammer Bros. Suit!
Nah, on second thought, that would be too broken, even for Smash…
Cat suits for everyone.
When the fairy joins the battle, Alfonzo takes over being in a bottle and healing duties. ‘Leave it to me!’
I’d like to see multiple smash balls. Just imagine land master vs giga mac vs mega lucario vs samus beam 
On a more serious note im sure they won’t give 3 characters the same final smash… again.
3 Landmaster tanks and Giga Bowser…on Yoshi’s Island. So much bad idea.
At least it might make New Pork City Playable…PFTWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So, do you think the fairy is in addition to the heart container, or is in replacement of it?
I miss moving avatars…gives UnSaxon51 a like
It sounds like it’s in addition too. Heart Containers used to heal all damage in the first Smash and then they nerfed it to 100%. Fairy heals over that amount.
Falco “PERSONALLY I PREFER THE AIR” landmaster drops
I’m trying to dig through earlier posts to find where Sakurai talked about characters having their own systems and it’s proving difficult even though I found a post where Thancruz made mention about it on page 14. I’ll have to look some more later, I got some errands to do.
The only one I remember was something about how damage would affect how well fighters were able to perform in various ways (though it didn’t go into any detail about it) for part of one of the pic of the days, the one where Link and Pit were firing arrows at each other on the Pilotwings stage.
Other than that I don’t recall anything about other characters having their own systems.
I could have sworn sakurai said something of that nature in one of his interviews or a Nintendo direct… can’t remember 
That reminds me.
I just absolutely when people play this game without items, or only pick FD. Outside of tourneys and such of course.
Just feels like it’s cutting out a big portion of the fun in the game. The fun of figuring out creative set-ups and ways of using items, looking at all of the cool effects and easter eggs and references, and putting the developer’s hard work to good use.
I just hope they let you “host” your own games in multiplayer where you can set your own rules(displayed to the entire lobby, to avoid bullshit), so I can experience the joys of the ever so amazing “pokemon/assist trophy battle” online.
Speaking of that, I think it would an awesome idea to give the pokemon and assist trophies their own separate HP, making them attackable as another way to kind of counter act them.
