Well they didn't waste any time at all, Little Mac for Smash, and his Star Punch already looks OP

Sakurai still reigns supreme when it comes to character reveals, I don't think anyone expected Little Mac's reveal this direct!

I guess Sakurai didn't get the message the boxing ring was a generic Smash stage. :troll:

Little Mac! YES!

A Nintendo newcomer that doesn't change my roster!

if smash is both the opening AND the closer to the direct I'd be thrilled.
Maybe that is why the site hasn't been updated :eek:

Also, does anybody else get trouble from the direct site? I'm using Youtube's stream.

I knew we had reason to stand strong Mac brothers. We did well. I'm... *sniff* so proud of you all.

Doc Louis loves chocolate.

LOVES!!!!
Valentine's Day!!!

How did we not see that coming!

Also, Little Mac was one of the most wanted characters, so the fans would love him.

So, Little Mac has a power meter above his percentage meter, and his Final Smash is Giga Mac.

I said this for Rosalina already, but I love how Sakurai is going for the unique gameplay styles this time around. Is it like the star system in Punch Out Wii?

Mac, huh?

Looks like the "They're hiding the fact that it's a Punch-Out stage until Mac" theory was actually right. The Smash logo has now been replaced with the one from Punch-Out.

With this we have 5 new comers, is it me or all of the new characters look great and the mechanics seem fit for each character, for now all of them look unique and different than the rest of the cast.

To be honest, I almost forgot people were doubting Mac's chances because of Villager's gloves until I saw this pic. I guess I was too focused on people doubting Balloon Fighter's chances because of the balloons. Hopefully this will give Balloon Fighter fans a glimmer of hope.

Personally, I hope he gets in as a fellow "retro" to the Ice Climbers.

With the Boxing Ring being changed up to be Punch-Out themed now that Little Mac is revealed, it leaves me to wonder;

Is the "Smash" version even part of the game? Like as a cosmetic alt by button select?

I feel that, historically, Balloon Fighter is the most worthy retro newcomer.
Like Ice Climbers, he is one of the most memorable NES one-shot game.
Duck Hunt Dog and ExciteBiker come in a close second.

Though I predict and am hoping for Lip because I feel she has the most moveset potential.
Though a Balloon Gimmick with Static attacks, and throwing balloons would be pretty cool too.

I will love Sakurai if he restores my hope for the Balloon Fighter.

Little Mac is trained by Doc.

Doc loves chocolate.

What does everyone give out on Valentine's Day?

This reveal made perfect sense, guys! Perfect sense.

I really like the fact that the newcomers are all really unique. But in the same time, I'm a little upset that the old ones are still the sames. There will be a gameplay difference between newcomers and old ones. Too bad that they don't have time to make unique the majority of the actual casting.

Anyone else got a "Ridley's definitely getting in" vibe now?

Look at the way Sakurai toyed with us about that Punch-Out stage. Just look at that. Not only the stage, but Little Mac was in huge demand over here, just like another character.

Honestly doesn't look that exciting to me. Though I like the comments Doc Louis is making as the fight goes on.

Looks like the hype train is pulling back into the station, specifically Grand Central Station.

So should I be scared that Little Mac has literally every single Special Attack I said he would have?
