Smash Lord
I think the community is voting, whether here or in Japan, and Samus is considered to be a terrible smash character.
The overall negativity from the internet is not good, even overwhelming at times, particularly for someone who tries to stay positive.
It's unfortunate that a whole generation of kids now will have grown up with a bad impression of a once great series, character.
Samus is centre on the cover of the box, plastered all over the menus, including the for-glory menu. At one point I remember Sakurai saying they wanted to make prominent characters in up-and-coming games, I guess that bodes poorly for an actual Metroid game at E3 reveal this year. 30th anniversary of the series too. I was personally really hoping that the secret game Retro Studios was working on was in fact a Metroid.
Short of a balance patch that makes the character more accessible (i.e fix the grab, the homing missiles, the hit/hurt box priority), I feel Nintendo is really shooting themselves in the foot.
Just some random thoughts, I've had a rough week (or two)....
