No, it's a hand I found lying on the street ^___^
It's a friend on the way to another friend's house to pick up the Japanese Wii.. I bet he's playing it right now D:<

No, in this particular case I am sure you can not be blamed. Now, if you wished you had it and Aleu didn't, then you would... uh... does evil?

If this ends up happening, I'd be freaking out. But don't hold your breath, it's not an official thing, just speculation.

Anyone who would waste money buying clones is a complete moron.

Guilty as charged.
There are no complete clones in the Smash series. Even Dr. Mario played very different from regular Mario, and I was in fact better as the Doctor.

There are plenty of complete clones: pick a character, hit X or Y, and there you have it: clone!
Clone is a word used to describe a character whose moveset is obviously derived from that of another character, though it also comes with the understanding that the higher-level dynamics of such characters tend to be quite different.

Are Fox, Falco and Wolf really all that different from each other though? I mean I understand Toon Link/Link but I don't really see it with those 3.

Wolf has completely different basic and smash attacks, and his specials are performed rather differently as well. His laser is slower, stronger and has less distance, his Up B just shoots forward, as opposed to charging, not sure about his Down and Smash B's. Anyway, today we see some new Assist Trophies. I honestly believe that half the Assist Trophies are characters Sakurai wanted to be PC's but never could fully finish, or Nintendo had them cut. Even Hammer Bro. looks like he's a would-be. Metroid latches on to people and sucks their health. Tingle casts "random magic effects." I wish they had made him styled like Toon Link, as opposed to a perfect knock-off of his Wind Waker model. Kat and Ana, the ninja twins of the Wario Ware series. They so cute, and they'll cutcha down too. I was hoping them (along with Ashley) would be playable, guess we'll have to wait for SSB4. This here is Jeff from Earthbound. A lot of Earthbound/Mother fans wanted him in, so this is probably a huge let-down for that crowd. Luckily he's pretty rad AT, launching bottle rockets. Helirin is from obscure GBA game released in Japan. He apparently acts like another platform. Jill appears, and she's ready to drill some. I was hoping she'd be a PC, guess that won't be happening. She's also a bit on the shortside o-O This here's Nintendog, from the once-popular NintendoDS title. It seems as though Sakurai and his team chose the most popular of the gamebox breeds, the Labrador. This dog loves his owners, and will give you lots of love, even if it does block the screen. Lakitu takes his SMB 8-Bit style, and tosses his spiny friends down to do his dirty work. This is the Hammer Bro. He was the first AT we knew about. Apparently he's also an enemy in the SSE stages. This is one of the few "common enemy" characters I would not only not-mind, but enjoy, being a PC in future installments.

...less distance to the laser... as if it weren't freaking SHORT ENOUGH ALREADY GRAAAAH. Fox is nerfed to death; his usmash is a shadow of its former self, his reflector can no longer be jumpcancelled, and his blaster has freaking 1/3 the range it used. So now there's nothing special to him: his major killing attack is gone, his spike is still around but its applications are slightly more limited, and blaster-pinging is not nearly as useful. It's supremely failrific. Marth is also nerfed, though it's bearable. His range got cut down just a little; enough to make any half-assed Marth whiff a lot of attacks since they're used to hitting everything on the tip. His spike has been toned down, and now requires a sweet-spot hit in order to work properly. If they had kept the Melee weights, and not made everyone so dang floaty, this wouldn't be too much of a problem: fast falls are hideously bad, at least from what I tried doing. It's nothing like fastfalling before--for one, it's slow. He's also slightly slower, which doesn't help. Ike is a tank on sticky wheels. He moves slower than molasses on a winter day, but hot dang: when he hits you, you just... die. Like that. Die. -poomf- Charizard does the same. Shiek is surprisingly similar to her previous incarnation: she's only a little less speedy than she used to be (that's REALLY FAST in Brawl), and her attacks are weaker, but on the whole she feels the same. Charging attacks is also weird; you press button once to charge, and she automatically stops when she finishes (ie needles). Pit is amazing. His recovery is crap, which is kinda counter-intuitive: surely an angel should have good recovery, yes? Well, yes, he's got crazy vertical and horizontal (specially with gliding and Wings of Icarus gives him even more, but... there's the issue of edgeguarding D: As in, it's not an offensive attack so it's not THAT great :< Also worth mentioning is that a lot of kills in SSBB come from the side or from the top: I've very rarely seen actual falls. Continuing on Pit, his side B is a lot better than I first gave it credit for: it's good for racking up a little bit of damage, especially at low %, though it's really punishable on whiff. His bow is insane: it's like Link's except faster and better range. Also curving! Which is hard to do, because trying to curve upwards (the only really useful direction) causes Pit to point it vertically. But that's okay. Mirror Shield, though, is insane. It's like a reflector on only one side that reflects EVERYTHING D8. Think of it like Peach with her little Toad, except you can hold it out. So. Freaking. Good. <3 Computer AI is HIDEOUSLY GOOD D8. Not good as in like actually good, but as in like, HAH THERE ARE THREE OF ME SO I CAN DO COMBOS UNATTAINABLE BY ANY NON-PSI-LINKED MORTAL In conclusion: I'm going to most likely main Pit, followed by Jigglypuff and Marth. Depending on the rest of the characters which I haven't played yet, I may pick up Lucario, or even actually Pokemon Trainer (Charizard is a beast).

I don't like where this is going. I'll get used to it, though. Hopefully.
