1) Ridley is not a character.
2) Pit and ZSS and zelda look A LOT better now. Shiek's chain being replaced with a bomb and her new down special look like great changes, i can already see bomb -> fish kick being a thing. Olimar seems like his changes are for the better. DDD only throwing gordo's now sounds incredibly OP even if you can just attack through them. Also wow @ sonic down air into up-B! Now he doesn't just die for it lol.
3) I enjoyed the fact that he mentioned the wii lan adapter. I didn't know it existed, and it shows he actually does care about competitive play. For glory mode sounded great until he told us he made final dest versions of all the stages. Now for glory mode sounds perfect. The new ranking system is extremely interesting as well.
4) There doesn't seem to be that many viable stages...i hope we at least get 3 no hazard maps in the 3DS version (final dest, battlefield, smashville) (excluding halberd since it's tolerable and already confirmed)
Suuuuuuuper hyped to get it for 3DS!
I'm right there with you on 3). It seems like the team developing the game has put A LOT of thought into providing competitive players with the best possible gaming experience, while still allowing newcomers and more casual players to enjoy the game.
I also liked how they are doing the rating. I'm not sure about some of the more competitive players here, but I personally would prefer seeing how many people I have scored higher than, rather than seeing how many are better than me. That's more of a personal preference than anything though.
