I played a bit of both versions at the best buy in San Jose, CA.
It was fun, a bit faster than Brawl. Marth still doesn't have his awesome grab. His side b animation looks decent.(I think it's pretty beastly)
His down-b is downright scary.(saw some guy KO a Fox at 60%)
I think by 3months time everyone will make up their minds on it, and it won't be as negative as brawl's but it won't be that bad.
I only wished I could have played more. I stood for around 4hours to get in 5 minutes of game time.
Any characters you played feel different from Brawl? For example, does Marth have his Melee range back, or is it still bad?
If I ever do get this game, I'm most likely going to play Diddy/Marth again, like when I started playing them in Project M.
I only got to play as Marth, and yeah he feels different than Brawl and Melee. Not quite as fast and nimble, his grab range isn't as huge. There's also a small lag after grabs making combos a bit more difficult.
I also payed a bit of attention to some other guy's fox. Shines get small lag, yet his side B gets less lag after being used. His up b is the same. His Up-A does seem gimped.
All of this could change, especially Marth's Counter.
Edit
Here's a video full of footage. The whole channel is filled with similar vids for different characters.
Still awaiting if Snake from Metal Gear Solid series is gonna be in the game.
This is probably one of the larger rosters in the game, though there are clone characters, but have different moveset like Samus armor and no armor.
Still hoping a Mother/Earthbound character is confirmed. I mean, with Earthbound on Wii U Virtual Console, there's bound to be at least something EB/Mother related in the new Smash Bros.
On a related note, I really feel like, within the next year or two, Mother 3 might be released on VC as well. I mean, in that Digital Event thing, they joked about both Star Fox and Mother 3, and now there's a new Star Fox game confirmed. It sounds like a stretch but, hey, a dude can dream.

I also hope they confirm at least Ness. Ness has been around since the original Smash so it would be a shame for him to be gone in this one. Same goes for Cpt. Falcon and Jigglypuff, though I don't have much hope for the 'Puff. Better have Cpt. Falcon though because Smash Bros. isn't Smash Bros. without Falcon Punch.
The ONLY thing im worried about. Lucina being too similar to Marth. From what it looked like, they had similar attacks.
But I guess it could be like Falcon and Ganandorf. Similar attacks but still different I guess?
However I hope all these characters dont call out their attacks. That could get annoying.

[color=#ff69b4]Lucina looks to be a bit faster then Marth with her attacks.
Two Awakening characters have officially made it in the roster. Rather surprising for me as I had actually written off Robin as the least likely to make it over, considering he's effectively a player avatar, so this is a rather pleasant way to be proven wrong.
That said, I'm looking forward to play around with Robin and wreck shit with the Levin Sword. However, I'm a little confused regarding Chrom's status. Is he going to be an upcoming addition? Or is he simply an assist trophy or a part of Robin's Final Smash?

Everyone assumes its gonna be Robin's Final Smash. Flashy attack and Robin and Chrom teaming up.
