How Giga Mac will function

[Pichu Guru]

We see Little Mac's Final Smash, Giga Mac (or as I like to call it, Big Mac) in his trailer. It must be something like Giga Bowser, but the bigger playstyle might be awkward for him. Tell me what you think.

This screenshot as well as his brief appearance in the trailer chasing Pikachu make me think he'll become a burly but slow heavy hitter.

I think it's gonna be like a very OP character with a small moveset.

Kinda like a Landmaster, but it will feel more like an actual character by how he walks and jump normally, and probably can't hurt just by walking into or jumping on somebody, you'll have to press a button for any attack, so it's also similar to Giga Bowser.
I expect 4 special moves as the total amount of moves he can perform as Giga Mac.

He does move slowly, but you don't see the dash animation by his feet. Makes me wonder if that's his walking speed.

 

[IsmaR]

That's assuming he can dash in the first place. Or use/hold items, jump, be grabbed, etc..

I made most of my assumption from how Giga Mac works in Head 2 Head mode for Punch-Out Wii. Basically Mac's Giga "meter" builds up/falls the more he gives/takes damage, similar to his Power Meters. At which point he'll transform until he takes sufficient damage, reverting him to normal size. Interestingly, Giga Mac can also use the Star Punch.

I just thought maybe he would function similarly to Giga Bowser, who can use the same moves as an ordinary character, if I remember correctly. (It's been ages since I had items turned on)

There HAS to be an event match where you fight Giga Bowser as Giga Mac, or you fight them both as a team.

I'm thinking he'll function like a slower running, but far stronger Little Mac.

I think instead of being fast and weak, like normal Mac, he'll be slow and strong.

 

[Tornado_Man]

I'm thinking that he'll be like Giga Bowser, with powered up attacks and much much slower travelling speed.

Little Mac becomes Ivan Drago, big and powerful.

Giga Mac: I must break you...
