Yes, you can plug in 2 NGC adapters; one in the front, one in the back.

How does she compare to Melee/PM Samus? Apparently she can't charge her beam in the air and that wonderful sex kick is gone. In her new neutral air good? What of her tilts?

Anyone have a link to his final smash?

I'm just so happy that Doctor Mario is back. He's always been better than Mario. Hopefully his pills retain their 45º trajectory.

Good stuff. I don't think anyone will be surprised if Snake doesn't return, and I'm not so sure about Ness. Lucas is almost assuredly out, I would think. I don't know anything about Shulk though.

This looks like a picture where Mario is in his "teetering on a ledge" animation, just facing the other way. Relax, internet. But blue flames would be nice for Ike.

i hope so, but I doubt it. Going straight to the ledge does have its advantages on floating platform stages (e.g. Smashville, Delfino Plaza) where there is little to no wall to grapple to. It's interesting that Sakurai hasn't mentioned anything about tether recovery at all though; I can't see...

Banjodorf: 36 characters seemed like a reasonable place to stop; I just wanted to form my argument for who would be included if there were only 7 slots left. If that increases to, say 10, then the next three in would probably be MK, ROB, and Falco. I find it odd that we're 29 characters in and...

Ryan.: If they de-cloned Ganondorf, then the traditional Dorf players would probably get mad. By dropping him and replacing him completely, they can avoid that kind of outcry (especially since no other characters are getting major makeovers). You make a good point on Meta Knight though; for some...

Gingerbread Man: I made my guesses based off of there only being 7 slots, but I think Meta Knight would be a good decision if he returns a bit more balanced. I'd also say that retro characters are part of what makes Smash unique, but I just feel like they would be a lower priority than others...

The most important part of any Smash Bros game is the roster. Stages are nice, items are fun, online modes are cool. But at the end of the day, we need to know who we're going to play. Currently, there are 29 on the roster. On the site, there are 7 empty boxes in the list view (on smashbros.com...

What do default colors have to do with anything? Splitting the characters makes sense for all but the players who mastered both Zelda and Sheik and switched between the two often in-game. Samus and Zero Suit were completely separate in Brawl, only (basically) linked by a Final Smash. If one...

Best way to break Samus: 5 bomb drop, Space Jump w/Screw Attack, and Wave + Plasma Beam. Love that Spiderball idea—Pit and Metaknight could eat their hearts out with their understate antics. How fun would it be to have her shots go through everything and still give 26% damage? Oh well...

This is great. Much appreciated.

So essentially, the fastest way to change direction in the air is using a charge shot? Good to know. I've been using homing missiles for that (especially great if using the Ice Beam), but it certainly does take up a lot of time.
