Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

same, but Giga Bowser works too lol.
Some information on the controls, interesting..
Standard Attack - generally speedy
Strong Attack - have a greater reach than standard attacks and presumably stronger
Smash Attack - Powerful and can be charged

I find the controls for the B button a bit weird, were will the special moves button be?
The Wiimote only is looking interesting. I wonder how wavedashing and such will be handled.
Wavedashing might not even exist. It was reported a long time ago that the game was slower than Melee (probably to help the fact that it should include online play).
Even if the game is slow, it can still have Wavedashing.
Wavedashing is there cuz air dodging is there, without the wavedash, the airdodge would be too glitchy, and wavedashing made the game even more popular, so they could have let that in the game.
Wow, that sounds like such an expert opinion... How would you even know that the air dodge would be glitchy without wavedashing? Do you have exp with the game mechanics of Brawl?
Regardless I don't want to turn this into a wavedash debate; we'll see if it's in or not when Brawl comes out.
Sorry, just to explain: Nintendo said. Lolz
I don't think it really matters since it has customizable controls.
You don't need experience with the game mechanics of Brawl. You only need to understand physics. Wavedashing is the result of air dodging into the floor. An air dodge is like a rocket propelling you. When you airdodge diagonally down, it's like a rocket pushing you diagonally down. When you hit the ground, that force keeps going. The vertical force is transferred to horizontal force. You keep sliding due to that. The distance you travel depends on your characters traction and the friction of the ground. Some characters have more traction than others (compare say Peach to Luigi) while some areas have more friction than others (compare the UFO on Fourside to the buildings on Fourside).
Way to "fix" this? Allow air dodges to go through the ground. This would mean that you'd die every time you did an airdodge and were too close to the ground.
Edit: I might have gotten some of the physics a bit wrong. Forgot how exactly vectors add up and stuff. Someone correct me if so. I haven't taken a physics class in two years.
I'd love to see Spinni from Kirby's Squeak Squad get in. His chances number at about 0.5%, but I need a small and fast character. Kirby is awesome, my main man during Melee, but he falls to slowly and the only salvation for him was falling with his sword attack.
...atleast leave Ice Climbers in.

When was slower game play confirmed?
Note: Technically, online play hasn't been confirmed either (Oops, spoilers).
It was never confirmed, but apparently Sakurai was talking about doing something to that effect.
It's also visible in the few videos we've gotten. There are more freeze frames when a character lands an attack now. Not as many as ssb had, but noticeably more than melee.
The smash attack update made me wonder if the customizable controls referred to full customization, or simply choosing your control scheme (Wii mote, GCN controller, etc). Of course, this could just be default, but it's hard to tell at this point.
I've also noticed the significant stun on attacks. TO be honest it does have me worried to an extent, but also, my fingers worked too slowly in melee, restricting my play to slower characters such as Doc, or Ganondorf. I'm wondering if I'll be able to finally use the fast, technical characters such as Fox (If he's still top tier.) However, all I want is some love for Kirby. What? No. SSB64 wasn't enough. I'd just like him to be at least mid tier, to have something other than Kirbycides. In my opinion multiple jumps and hte ability to copy Neutral B moves are not enough to justigy makiong a character slow, weak and light.
The new flat stage was better than previous ones, still flat stages show were real skill comes into hand.
The king and his hog thing in Eldin are probably like the ships in Corneria.
