Not in the demo. Pac-man feels a lot like the "new" game and watch though.

G&W mains hype! It's never a bad thing to have alternatives and it makes sense to boot!
Post 3 (Reddit):
Charizard is mostly unchanged. As I said yesterday I sense a lot of Project M "inspiration" in a lot of the changes to characters moves. His recovery is like an upward flare blitz. Good vertical range, bad horizontal. No gliding. Still has multiple jumps. His side B can be used as a horizontal recovery, it's a horizontal flare blitz.

Hi.
Move customization is accessible after you select a character easily at the CSS. First you turn it on, by hitting a button on the top right of the bottom screen. After that, an interface appears on the bottom character portraits. There's 8 slots for 4 equipment and 4 b move modifications. It's easy and quick to do.
No Galacta Meta Knight is not in. There is white skin but it's not what you're looking for. Sorry.
Waddle Dees still carry DDD in and are in his victory pose. Sorry.
No white Yoshi
Every character has 8 costumes I counted but I cannot remember them all.
SUP GUYS

DDD only throws Gordos, and every other side - b does NOT throw a Gordo. Otherwise DDD feels the same.

I'm attempting to get a picture of the fierce diety link.
more experimentation with meta knight. His up b recover had a 2nd hit I hadn't noticed until now. At the peak of the recovery.
you CANNOT cancel the dash ANIMATION. Only running with shield.
Metaknight was given some Harsh landing lag on his swipe aerials.

Sheik's landing lag is non-existent EXCEPT when she lands after using needles. It's small though.
her fair doesn't gimp like Melee, but it's back to having that horizontal knockback.

I'm not sure what to think of samus but her up air is a combo move it hits the opponent multiple times before letting them go. Her moveset is largely the same. To me she felt kinda clunky but that could JUST BE ME. I am not good with Samus in other games.
I played Sheik once again to reaffirm my bold claims on her. She is downright crazy. The only move she has that does have noticeable lag is her dair kick in to the ground.
Sheik is for all of you who miss Melee. Mark my words.

Post 17 (Smashboards):
Mii fighters are NOT in the starting roster even with customization on.
I explored customization more.
After you turn customization on and go to the slot to pick different moves...it takes you to a separate screen where you can pick equipment and special moves. If you click the moves button it shows your 4 current default moves.
Unfortunately there is ZERO gear and ZERO extra moves unlocked it appears so there are no choices in either case.
When you make edits, you can save a PROFILE of your customization, that you can pick from a brief quick menu that pops up after you hit start. You must hit a on the customization you want to use. It appears the selector saves to your previously used profile.

Zelda has no alt color with purple hair or something resembling what you all bring up as "Hilda".

Post 19 (Smashboards):
I played DK and got more in-depth with Zelda.
- DK has surprisingly little landing lag all around, most notably his bair and his dair recover really quick. His recovery strikes me as a bit nerfed given the lack of a ledge snap if he needs to go vertical. The down B slap move has kind of a ridiculous range but I think it always did? It's visible now by a "pound" visual effect.
- okay Zelda. Listen to me.
Her fair and bair are both kicks with sweet spots that hit for 18-20% with huge knock back if you nail it. Low landing lag. 4-6% otherwise.
Her teleport doesn't just do damage on reappearance. The enacting animation launches opponents close enough. If you use the teleport it will launch people, and if you use it upward you appear almost precisely at their launch point to hit them with the reappearing attack, which tends to be quite gnarly since they are already quite high from the launch.
Her neutral air is a twirl almost exactly like peach except it is several hits. It hits the opponent maybe 4-5 times if you catch the opponent on the first hit of it.
Link - very low landing lag on his nair and bair. His boomerang only shows the whirlwind on its way back. He's much faster than brawl link. His fsmash (both parts of it) are faster. He felt good.
Shulk - figured out his mechanic. You swap through the stances pressing b, and when you see the one you want, you simply just wait like half a second and he will stance dance automatically.

Post 20 (Smashboards):
Explored the customize options again.
- there is actually a few pieces of equipment to mess with strangely, but I can confirm that the extra special moves are arimasendesu.
Don't see why equipment wouldn't be considered all the same as custom specials would be. It doesn't just buff the characters it also adds a minus in some area. This meta could be almost impossible to define on a per character basis with equipment and custom moves. You can have like 10 completely different sonics with different attributes/moves. The variety makes my head explode.
- This won't sound good initially to luigi fans but I did not have fun playing as him. He's really floaty and felt slow, wasn't a fan. Didn't go indepth on his moves much during my match with him as I was too busy being annoyed by my lack of ability to like him.
Mario seems much faster than him.bi probably just can't tap in to luigis meta, maybe he's stronger than Mario as a trade? His hand like fsmash seemed to have a range nerf.

Post 21 (Smashboards):
- links meteor smash on his dair is there.
- shields definitely break quicker. It APPEARED to me that I broke Mario's shield hitting it twice in a row with a sonic dtilt.
- played some serious, no item stock matches at the end here (they are wrapping up). I'm going to address my favorites since I've spent so much time looking for all of your stuff :p.
First match, sonic vs lvl9 sonic.
- sonics down tilt no longer launches the opponent slightly for combo ability. It pushes them away. This made me a little sad.
- his homing attack seems "smarter". Brawl one was dumb you all know what I mean.
- his rolling attack (running a) catches opponents for a few hits
- his fair tends to auto cancel a lot
Marth
- still feel his range is short
- counter is definitely godlike
- when you tipper you will know as it makes a flashy colored animation (totally big deal right)
- final destination, despite it's awesome new look having a questionable underbelly, is changed back to the old style collision where you will slide up the bottom to the ledge. IE NOT like brawls final destination which made me rage all the time when I first got brawl.

Then he wasn't really at an event because as far as I could tell (if you were sneaky) you could basically do anything you wanted. They just watched you like a hawk and forced you to not change the modes.

I responded to that comment saying "Ben leak deconfirmed". I don't know why anyone (or maybe it was just that guy) believed this "Ben" guy anyways.

Responding to:
"I know there was confusion about it after the Smash Direct back in April since they didn't specifically say it was his final smash, but I believe other materials since (like this guide they have at this very event and Famitsu) confirmed that it is in fact his final smash.
I'm more curious about how Charizard's works. Is it a transformation like Wario Man or more like Yoshi's Super Dragon where it has unique controls? I saw someone ask this last night but never got answered (assumed Zipzo just hasn't played Charizard)."
Just like Lucarios. I have played charizard and I gave my impressions of him in the reddit thread.

Clarification on the "Ben" thing...
I don't know who he is and I haven't read anything he's written but I've been told he stated that items were locked.
This is false. You could change items and any of the other options.
I've also been told he stated that the operators "locked" the single player modes.
This is also false.
These were release builds of the game in almost their entirety. Some people secretly backed out to try Smash Run. A lot of people spent time exploring menus and other modes but the operators did their damnedest to keep people in the 2 minute match mode. They couldn't keep their eye on everyone.
I'm positive this was the full game, there was even equipment being unlocked randomly on some machines. IE, this machine had equipment that another machine didn't, presumably because someone snuck In a smash run round or did something else to unlock them.
