I have to admit, Nintendo kind of dropped the ball by revealing this trailer first in their Nintendo Direct, something like this feels best suited for going last...
That being said, Little Mac, one of my top 3 choices for
Super Smash Bros., has been confirmed, and I am very happy about it! He mainly uses punches, and his Final Smash is Giga Mac, like I expected. He seems very quick, which makes sense, considering his fast moves were his strongest point in the games, at least when fighting his much bigger adversaries.
The trailer also seems to show off some sort of "Power Meter", which I'm guessing works the same as Stars and Star Punches in the
Punch-Out!! games; Little Mac gets a star when he hits an opponent at the right time, and can use it to do a very powerful star punch; he'll lose the stars he's collected when he's hit and/or knocked down. That's an interesting idea, and a good way of incorporating what happens in
Punch-Out!! in
Super Smash Bros.! Oh, and then there's this:
