You've seen a lot of the pictures, some you likely haven't. We learn only a few tidbits from it that we wouldn't already know (you can duck under crash bomb with kirby, angled tilts are back, bowser's fair and mario's bair are still in, etc.), except for STAGES! :D
New "ring" stage we've already seen. Flat, small. New FD, or FD clone?
Fun fact: This stage has rumored the arrival of Little Mac as a playable character, although some thought it was teh Wii Fit girl's stage or a "new FD". The Wii Fit girl stage is shown in other screenshots, so we can cross that one out.
Smashville has what appears to be 3 platforms of varying height, a kind of inverse Battlefield. This will give many characters additional recovery options (going to top platform), allow for a large platform camping game against grab-happy characters, but boasts a fairly small looking stage size.
Smashville 2, or another segment of Smashville? If we look in the background, the characters have changed as has the angle of the camera. It is possible that Smashville is now a Delfino clone with ever-changing platform layouts.
Dr. Wily's castle with two far off floating platforms. Could be hell for approaching platform campers! I can't wait to throw metal blades from those platforms and laugh maniacally. If I recall correctly through, the stage appeared non-static in videos.
Battlefield during the day
Battlefield closing in on afternoon
Battlefield during dawn/dusk
Battlefield with LIGHTNING! KA-POW!
Neat looking rocks.
Guessing Battlefield has a moving background this time.
I wonder if the hue has something to do with the time of day?
Skyward Sword stage. From what I've seen in videos this is another Delfino clone with ever-changing platforms.
Wii Fit girl stage. Notice the hovering Wii Fit boards as platforms and their shadows. The one behind Bowser is in line with the Bowser's shadow.
Not a clue! 3DS version I believe. Possibly some single player esque thing?
Gerudo Valley, Ocarina of Time 3D
More 3DS. Those big spikes in the background can also come up through the platforms!
Nintendogs for 3DS! You can crouch under the orange block.
Train level for 3DS. Flying platform?
More train level. Notice Toon Link is the conductor... that could be bad for toon link being in the game. This is likely their way of still "including" him. We haven't had a Brawl character also in the stage yet save for G&W and DK (technically cranky kong).
Mario Bro's stage. Wonder if those platforms fall? On the right you can see there is no ground... but also an arrow. Scrolling stage I'd bet.
Chrom for Brawl?
Characters and moves:
I'm gonna post a few things that stand out to me and use the assumption that if it's in screenshot form, it won't change by release. I won't be posting things that have already been explicitly confirmed in an obvious manner. Things like Mega Man's moveset or Mario's moveset, for example. Knowing Fludd is still in doesn't matter, we already saw it on video!
Wii Fit girl has a special move that uses this ball, or this is an item.
The fair of both Link and Bowser seem to be returning
Final Smash, or up+B?
Both Link and Samus have their bombs back.
Samus' missile still can be a super missile.
Angled smashes and tilts seem to be back, as well as the crawling manuever if you hadn't seen that yet.
Kirby's moveset doesn't seem to have changed much. This is his rapid jab. Given Mario is in this pose whenever he's getting hit, someone might able to determine hitbox distance from some of these pics.
Like Kirby's up+B, for example.
Dair. Unknown if it's single or multiple but, spoiler alert, it's gonna be multiple hits.
Likely that Wii Fit lady can crawl.
Fox's dash attack is one of the best examples of the new animations. They seem to have a flash of light where the hitbox is, relatively speaking. Very similar to how Marth worked in previous games. You can also see Mario's spot dodge here moving him well into the Z-axis.
Fox's over-b.
I haven't checked to see if this is Link's forward smash or f-tilt yet, but the animation is different than we've seen in other games. While we haven't seen it used yet that I recall, you can see that Fox still clearly has his shine available during this roll animation.
His u-smash is back too. He seems happy about that.
The "Come on!" taunt has returned. Megaman's up+b doggy Rush as well.
Fox's up-taunt from Brawl, confirming multiple taunts for those that thought they might disappear.
Pit's over-b or dash attack. Likely the former. Notice how the light lines up nicely with the hitbox. Link is clearly being hit while megaman is just fine. Doesn't appear to be too much overlap. If we're lucky, it could be the end of janky hitboxes.
Pit's f-smash or a new move and Pika's over-b.
DK's neutral B.
The "welcome to Disney" u-tilt seems a bit more monstrous now. Given both character's locations, it may be faster too. Definitely hits in front of DK on the ground now.
Pika over-B and Bowser's hitstun animation
Down+B
Shield break and/or sleep attack from another character or item. Possibly also a failed tech.
Drop Kick with what appears to be lightning coming from Bowser's insides. He really is lightning in a bottle. :B
Bowser running instead of scooting.
Fox's blaster and Bowser's up+b.
Bowser's dash attack or a grab / dash grab. Villager's dash attack.
Fox's f-smash
Wii Fit girl's rather humorous "balance" animation next to an edge, I think. That or a taunt.
Bowser getting crotch punched by what appears to be mario's jab. Villager has a slingshot projectile.
DK's f-smash
F-tilts
Nairs
Samus' u-tilt, mario's neutral B.
Pika neutral B, fox's d-smash, Mario's f-smash.
Not sure what's going on here. Mario's dash attack and whatever else.
Link's dair, Mario and Bowser fairing, Samus u-smashing I believe
Samus finishing her u-smash?
Bowser fairing, Samus d-smashing
Link nairing
Don't know what is going on.
