It is the animation, but it's the latter part of the animation, where he's about to fall on his back.No it's not. This is the taunt you're thinking of.
I don't think it's the same animation.

Wasn't there something similar?

I always thought they were the animations of when a character escaped a grab, but there's no one there ...

No, I don't think so. Look at this (2:00 for Mario)
They look different. Mario never staggers like he does in that picture.

Looks to me like Mario is kind of balancing since he is near a ledge.

It's the dodge animation, in Brawl there was no facial expression, you guys are just seeing Up/Down Dodge animation.
Tenchi Boom
Smash Apprentice
Mario nor Sonic's dodge animations looked nothing like that. Unless, of course, they've changed. But they still appear to be in the center of the stage.
Are you looking at the big picture from the site? I see no more platform behind Mario.
Tenchi Boom
Smash Apprentice
He does look a little off centre actually. But I don't get why they're both looking up, and not straight forward (where most attacks their height would hit).

More importantly, where the **** is my Gun Blade?
I think it is just the angle of the shot. Remember you can manipulate it some when taking pictures in previous games.

Worst-case scenario, tripping is toggleable. Sakurai knows how many of us loathe it.
Best case, it's just a debug mode for Sakurai to make Mario make funny faces.

So I was playing Fire Emblem Awakening and I decided to look at my roster. When I looked at Anna's profile, I realized something.
Anna's birthday is on June 11.
June 11.
Oh. My. God.

Yeah, we'll be seeing Anna as an AT on her birthday.

You know, you're awful pessimistic of her to have four icons for her in your signature.Yeah, we'll be seeing Anna as an AT on her birthday.

It shows how excited I would be if Anna was confirmed playable. I would be four times happy!

Then act like it, dammit.
I am tired of this pessimism everyone here shares. It's way better to show your support for something and be disappointed in the end than be sorely disappointed the entire time, in my opinion.

Or it's better to have your expectations in check to save yourself the disappointment instead of practically expecting a character to be in only to be disappointed.Then act like it, dammit.

That way, if the character you do like gets in, then the satisfaction of it would be even better.

Idk if I'd say it's pessimism.
Like, I have a lot of characters I like, but I only say to myself "It'd be really cool to see them, but I don't think they'll happen." Too bad this only applies to Chorus Kids out of the leaked list haha.

Tripping back? Neato, good thing Megaman doesn't rely on Smashes it looks like.

Tier-wise, wasn't Young Link just one spot above Link in Melee? I think Toon Link was over 20 spots ahead of Link in Brawl.

Seriously, if it is a tripping animation there is nothing random about it. We know forced (item) tripping is in, and it's not like Sakurai would be running back and forth constantly trying to force a trip and time it with Ike's eruption. The animations for tripping exist (once again, due to items) and as this is a staged photo I would imagine some debug tools are involved. So, once again, unless you think Sakurai was playing SSB with some other devs for hours trying to force a trip and time it perfectly for a throw away PotD, I can not fathom how you would come to the conclusion that this points at random tripping. Think people.*Ahem* I think we may have an issue by looking at today's pic of the day...
Is it just me...or does Mario's animation look like...random tripping?

I don't really think tier list placements matter much about clones. Ask a professional and they'll tell you Fox and Falco play nothing alike, and these two are literally the top 2.

Oh, I don't know if anyone noticed this, but in the direct, I'm pretty sure even though Goroh was shown, they never showed the F-Zero symbol. Well it's right here: http://wallpaper-games-maker.com/background/super-smash-bros-wiiu (found through the SSB Miiverse page)
I'm not saying I ever thought Falcon wasn't in, I was just posting this for the sake of posting it.
Oh also, the Earthbound symbol which was never shown is there as well.

That's a fan website, but I agree, Falcon and Ness will get in.

I wonder if there's a thread dedicated to video game characters that would never, ever get in. Not just in this iteration of Smash, but future titles.
Like, Ridley gets a ton of flak for his size, but would you seriously debate me on why Mother Brain, Kraid, Grima (as his dragon form), or Giygas (In his red mist form) would never be playable?

There's a lot of threads here about characters who would never get in already. <3

Don't you mean veterans? Or are we speculating on characters we haven't played yet?

Exactly my point... I'm just trying to figure out ways to avoid missing, or hitting in the wrong direction.

S'cool.Sorry, I meant Veterans.
Lapse of sanity.
Anyhow, Falcondorf has no need for explanation, and Toon Link deserves to represent more Zelda items like the magic rods or the Power Glove. (It's so bad)
Lucas deserves a new Final Smash. PK Love?.
Star Fox needs more Arwings and Wolfens and less Landmasters.
