Hopefully I'm wrong... But based on the fact that Palutena is the ONLY normal character with 12 unique special moves, and also sakurai's recent posts alluding to her power....
Her Up Smash:
Pic of the day. I talked about an attack with a far reach in yesterday's post, but it didn't compare to Palutena's up smash attack! No joke, it reaches really far. It reached so far in this shot that even the rocketbarrels got blown up.
Heavenly light ( probably a special ):
That said, if we're talking just about range, even that can't beat Palutena's power, Heavenly Light. It has quite a damage field. However, this is a no-flinch attack, which means the opponents won't react to the damage!
These two moves look incredibly OP, particularly "that up smash", I mean look at that range o.o
And remembering Sakurai's past favoritism to his characters Pit and Metaknight I am very concerned about Palutena's overall power. More Importantly though, If she is totally over powered what are we going to do about it? I've witnessed lots of people being very exciting and hopeful that Palutena was going to be in the game. What if she's "too good" for competitive play? Will we ban her from tournaments and upset all the people who've worked hard mastering her, possibly turning those players away from smash? or will we mod the game like PM in order to nerf her like we did for MK? What will happen to sm4sh if such a big, powerful character enters the game? what if she's even worse than MK???
I obviously don't know how the finished Palutena will work but based on what I've seen so far I'm not to excited.
