I think he has decent KO options, considering his throws kill and the neutral B can set up for KO's, but that's a different debate. The counters can be avoided based on positions. For instance, a well spaced up air (with certain characters) below a falling Shulk will activate the counter, but...

Because short hop U-Air is such an unsafe option? I think that counters in general are dumb in Smash 4 because it is one more reward for playing defensive in such a campy game in the first place. Other counters however can be avoided based on the angle of the attack and position of the counter...

Are you seriously comparing counter to oil panic? You can totally shut down that move by not throwing projectiles. With counter, one good read nets one kill as early as 25%. I went to a tourney last night where Yoshi got killed at 64% (Corrin had 79%) throwing an up air out of a short hop. This...

Dare I say some of the "customization" options could be choosing victory tunes and taunts etc. Similar to Playstation All-Stars.

Tyson would be awesome. How can you call this game Super Smash Brothers without any brothers?

I'm sure they could insert an interesting mechanic or two in order to make Little Mac fun to play, but I think it's a lot easier to breathe life into a robot than a guy with boxing gloves. But I guess that's all subjective. That being said, there aren't many interesting 1st party characters...

Well the Mii would most likely do things like drop bowling balls and use bats tools, etc to fight, a lot like the villager. The Mii is also not a distinct character, but more of a canvas character where you have a degree of customization. That's why I feel they would be similar. I also don't...

Why does a troll troll? I just don't understand how spreading rumors that have a 3% chance of being true helps anyone in any way. And I wouldn't imagine it's fun either. Is there a VSauce episode on this concept?

Oh god, I hope this rumor isn't 100% true. Pacman would be kinda cool I guess, but Little Mac and Mii's? Bleh. They don't bring anything to the table. Mii's would play like The Villager and I don't see what's super special about a guy who punches. They would make great assist trophies though.

He hasn't specified yet as far as I've heard over the internets. I honestly hope there isn't a huge amount of customization. Customization is for games about the player. This game is about the all stars of Nintendo franchises. Molding and manipulating them would distract you from the main focus...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ I love Sakurai trolling in this video. He introduces Wii Fit Trainer saying, "I get character requests everyday, but no one expected this one" Almost as if to say, "I get character requests everyday, so I thought, screw those guys. Let me add this...

You are correct sir. All of our speculation is pretty useless since we will likely never know what will truly happen unless they leave bread crumbs of cut characters like they did on brawl's disc.

I feel like he is more accurate to his character in Mario however. It looks like Bowser's Inside Story inspired his look, and that his moves fit in line with that incarnation of bowser, rather than Sakurai's interpretation of him. I'm pleased with the overall design, though, like you, I hope...

Lolz maybe this time Bowser will get a level. I don't know why they made him faster this time but I'll take it.
