The shield button is your friend.

Until someone grabs you and your shield button leaves you in the alleyway to get the shit beat out of you.
 
After playing the demo, here are my opinions on the characters:

Mario: Definitely feels better while comboing, and speed has been noticeably increased. And is it just me, or is it easier to combo aerials into SJP?
Link: Easily the best character of the 5; is basically back to his Melee form, with speed improvements from there. Loving the new dash attack.
Pikachu: Just feels... different, like he's unable to combo as much as he used to.
Villager: My little sweetheart ;D Feels extremely campy, and basically breaks projectile-based characters.
Mega Man: I do get a rush out of playing him for some reason. Like a drug or something.
 
When I was playing with Link and I used the side A running attack, is he suposed to do that little leap, or am doing a different move? I know it used to be where he just slid and attacked, so I want to know if this is one of his changes.

yeah, the dash attack is changed to a jump attack now
 
Personally not that excited for this stage, but it's good to know that Wario gets something other than a returning stage on the Wii U version.

It's slower, but I like it overall better. It can reliably KO at a little over 100% I think.

Or you end up using the grab button instead.

I'm able to cream the level 9s with Mario. :P
