Favorite:
I really like Pac-Man's moveset, and have subliminally been a fan of Pac-Man ever since I played Pac-Man World on my mom's friend's PlayStation as a kid. The Pac-Man hate perplexes me though; general disinterest is certainly justified, but to imply that he isn't deserving of a slot on SSB4's roster is 100% wrong considering how iconic of a video game character he [still] is (and considering Namco is working on SSB4). On the bright side, the commonplace "I don't understand Pac-Man's relevance" narrative will make maining Pac-Man all the more enjoyable. R.O.B. had a similar problem with the community ("Wtf? Where's Geno???").
Honorable mention (favorite revamped veteran):
Technically not a newcomer, but the fact that it's by itself makes an actually viable character in this iteration of Smash Bros, and it's in position to receive a lot of buffs (I'm thinking the ones he gets in Minus, plus greater air mobility). I also really like Charizard's new moves, though I will miss Heat Wave as its f-air (if the claw attack we saw in its trailer is its new f-air).
Least favorites:
The Mii Fighters were inevitable, and probably the only characters that are universally unpopular. But they're the face of the 3DS and Wii U consoles, and are pretty relevant, so yeah. :<
Palutena wasn't a surprise either, but I don't like her much, and I fear she'll be the center of Sakurai's attention during development (evidenced by her plethora of unique custom special moves, whereas titular characters like Mario just get slight modifications).
Wii Fit Trainer was actually a surprise. It's not that I strongly dislike her, I'm just not interested in her at all; she looks really boring.
