'Cuz you got the C-Pad, Screen and Buttons right next to eachother so you can see what's going on + what you're doing with your hands, the Start/Select Buttons are close by and easy to press (instead of the hard-to-press-blocks all the way at the bottom of the system), the screen doesn't have the close-y-open-close-thing so it wont keep going OPEN-CLOSE-VIOLENTLY-SHAKING when you're being all seriouss & stuff, plus since the input buttons are way up at the top you won't accidentally open the Home Menu when trying to Pause or press the Select Button for no good reason (Seriously, what does it do in SSB4 XD), so I think that the 2DS will be pretty good among the SSB4 people. Your thoughts/opinions? (Let's not start flame wars, however.)

I can see it being a bit awkward for my hands, the buttons look too far up for me, personally.

I have the 3DS XL and I think it will be best due to the size of the screen alone. And, as a long time ds owner, its button layout works for me. But it's really up to personal preference.

I dislike the 3-D gimmick of recent games and movies (definitely thanks to Avatar), and the 2DS is fairly cheap, so the 2DS is the best option for me.

Both the 3DS, the 3DS XL, and the 2DS are all great options for those who want to play Smash 3DS. Some people might prefer the original, some people might prefer the XL, and some might prefer the 2DS. It's up to the player.

Everything is centralized. I went and got a 3ds XL though. I like 3d too much.

Can't fold and won't fit into my pockets for travel, so I'd still lean towards a regular 3DS. Plus, the "being able to see your hands" doesn't strike me as a relevant factor, since I've never wanted or needed to see my hands playing any previous edition of Smash.

The advantages you pointed out honestly don't seem that significant. Overall I don't really see why there would be an "ideal" system for Smash Bros, people are just going to play it on whatever model they happen to own when they get it.

The trigger buttons look nice, but seeing your hands while you play is not a benefit.

3ds xl will be the best.
Screen size and the ability to use the circle pad pro.

Certainly not for my absurdly tiny hands. The original 3DS layout would be the ideal for me, but I will play Smash 3DS on a XL. Unfortunately, the L/R buttons are a bit too far up for me to play the game with the d-pad, so I will have to adapt to playing with the circle pad.

If there is an option for using the Circle Pad Pro, 2DS owners will be at a disadvantage.

I just got a 3ds xl, the screen is pretty nice (even though my eyesight is crap and I can't actually see the 3d effect), but the 2ds buttons look more comfortable -shrugs-

Why would you need to see your hands? Like a regular controllers you don't stare at the buttons to do things, you just know lol.
And why would you be shaking your 3DS so much to the point where it opens/closes? Doesn't need that much force to play.

I've gotten used to the XL control scheme. Call it conditioning from playing game son handhelds for ten years or so now, but the 2DS button scheme just doesn't work for me and feels weird in my hands. Add in that you can't carry around the 2DS easily like the 3DS XL, and that's a deal breaker. If 2DS works best for you though go for it.

I'm imagining what the CCP would look like on the 2DS and it doesn't look amazing...
