The duo has surpassed P. Trainer as my number one most played as of now. We'll see where that lands as I continue to get a feel for them, but I'm loving the experience so far!

I certainly hope so! Especially considering these points: The series is so heavily focused on music to begin with, from the character names to the collectibles to the dynamic soundtrack. Not having a taunt involving the banjo and the kazoo would be a bit of a missed opportunity. I could see it...

That is a possibility. Yoshi, Mewtwo, Peach, and the like prove that unique midair jump mechanics are not out of the question. It is noteworthy that Kazooie continues to flap her wings, and a stalled fall with extended distance would match the abilities of the Feathery Flap in the original...

I notice that Kazooie has her beak pointed up during the Shock Spring Jump, unlike the original games. I wonder if there will be a hitbox involved during the rising portion of the move. If nothing else, the midair jump at the peak of the leap indicates that you'll be able to attack afterwards...

Here's a question for the crowd: do you think attacks using Kazooie, like the Breegull Bash and (reverse) Rat-a-tat Rap, will be sword-like disjoints or will the bird have a hitbox?

Yeah, it seems that Talon Trot is the run animation but that Banjo is the initial dash. Kind of similar to how Inkling's run animation has them hidden in ink for the first portion even though they splash and leap once it progresses.

Are we doing the same THANK YOU that the K. Rool Kremlings did? I definitely offer my support for Sakurai and everyone at Nintendo, Microsoft, and Rare who helped to make this dream come true!

I was hopeful but guarded. I didn't want to be burned again, and I was losing faith. The Hero trailer right before I had to go perform teacher responsibilities was a bummer in spite of how fun they look, only because I thought it meant the rumors about the bear and bird were dead. Finally...

I only had time to watch the first 5 minutes of the Direct before I had to go proctor an exam. I saw the Hero, and I went off to do my duty disappointed. They looked cool even though I have no personal experience with the franchise, but I feared that would be our only reveal. I got a chance to...

This is my default theme for any and all Smash hype. Need to remember that whatever happens...win, lose, or draw with the bear and bird...we're probably going to have a lot of fun. Trust in Sakurai. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9al175InK1o Anything from the Banjo-Kazooie soundtrack is also...

Whatever tomorrow brings, it's been an exciting ride. I've been watching this all unfold with great anticipation. There's no doubt that our odds have never been better, even though we are still not out of the woods yet. So close, and yet so far. Here's hoping the presentation brings cause for...

As others had mentioned, Mega Man was in quite a slump prior to his reveal for Smash 4. The wildly enthusiastic response to his inclusion undoubtedly had an effect on the future of the IP. I'm still hoping for the best for the bear and bird, cautiously optimistic overall.

Well! Surviving those dash attacks is pretty impressive! Mewtwo is looking great all around in the footage I've seen so far.

I'm very curious to see how Pokemon Trainer performs on the competitive scene this time around. It's interesting that many of the first impression "tier lists" I've seen rank the different Pokemon separately. I suppose that helps to give an idea of their overall power levels, but it's important...

Crazy that it's been a year, and such an eventful year, of Mewtwo in Smash 4. What a roller coaster! Loved playing as him from Day 1, but the gradual improvement into the proper Legendary we have today has been well worth the wait.
