Besides from needing a new Final Smash and adding rockets to her kick attacks what else has changed?

She has a new recovery but is is a replacement for her up or down B? And will her side B still help recovery?

New recovery definitely replaces the tether whip. Between Olimar, ZSS, and the seeming removal of Ivysaur, tether recoveries are a thing of the past.

I wouldn't say that for sure. Samus' Zair and Link's Zair could still be tether recoveries. (Providing Zairs are still in the game :))

Her B Down shows up in one of those press release photos, so that's the same.

One of her kick attacks is a reflector, if you watch closely.

^That.
Her Ftilt(?) reflected something in the Trailer.

Her Plasma Whip (Side Special) looks the same, at least on the ground. Tethering ledges is something we are yet to watch

The only thing I get from her new UpB is we now have a good OoS option!!!

I'm happy about this, because I doubt we'll get suit pieces back, which were a godlike OoS option, and this also makes her far less easy to gimp off stage, compared to Brawl. If she wasn't so easy to gimp in Brawl she would've been one of the best characters.

Have we seen her neutral special? I hope it gets buffed in some way,

Even better: I hope we get footage of actual matches, even if it's just the playtesters goofing around.

I liked her down-b.

But you know what would be cool? If it was jump-cancelable during the entire animation.

I've been scouring the internet to try to figure out what her moveset will be. Here's what I've got:

Jab: Same, there are pictures of the first and last hit
Grab: Same :/
Tilts: All the same
Up-Smash: No pictures yet, would not be surprised it if changed
Down Smash: Same
F-Smash: New spin-kick move
Aerials: All the same
Dash Attack: No pictures yet, but it might be this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/25792657@N00/13915550303/in/set-72157644096275264
Up-b: Canon Spike
Down-b: same
Side-b: same

I think the picture with her doing the Knee of Justice could possibly be her pummel. You can see some electricity besides her, but I'm not sure if it's just visual effects or part of her whip.

Also, free 40-50% combo down-smash is back!

With an Up B that travels up on its own (seems to go a decent distance and angle too), Side B still being the whip (and Link showing us that Zair tethers are still apparently a thing) and her Down B all back, she's going to be really hard to kill (unless she enters helpless state after using Down B).

Do you guys expect that her down-B will be faster this time around, with all that phantasm-like effect it has? It certainly could be interesting, imo.

It could also be the last hit of her jab.
Nope! There was a picture of jab 3 in the new photo album released by Nintendo. I'll try to find it for you.

Is there any indication that is part of her down-b outside of specuation?

Considering her pose, I think it's safe to say that it's part of her down-B. I think you can also see those flashes on another pic where she has a pose similar to her down-B.

But, to answer your question, no, there is concrete proof yet or any mention by Sakurai.

@9:50 we see link using zair at the ledge, so tether recoveries are returning, just not up special tethers. so zss side special will most likely still be a tether recovery, while up special will use her new rocket boots.

Hey guys, was this ever discussed?

Bad memory might be bad, but since when did ZSS have Captain Falcon's Knee of Justice? Any idea what attack this could be?

Could be her new forward Smash.

Isnt Fsmash that double spinning kick though? I can't watch the video atm, but iirc, she never knees during it I don't think. Also her heels seem to be indicating that she's being propelled forward atm.

Can't be a pummel, both her arms are behind her. All I can think of is Dash Attack, a Throw or some weird new Down B used on the ground only thing.

i could see it as a new fsmash. shorter ranged, but much more useful than a weak whip lash that does nothing
