Mega Man Joins the Battle!


0:07 - "New Challenger Approaching!" is how this begins. Maybe this means that he'll be unlockable? It would fit the trend with third parties being unlockable.
0:17 to 0:27 - BEST MUSIC EVER.
0:33 - The slide is back from Mega Man 3-8.
0:36 - A spin punch upwards? Maybe it's similar to Wario's Up+B?
0:38 - Neutral-B shots can apparently be charged. Once again, Mega Man 3-8.
0:42 - Wait what? Will characters have unique death sound effects? If so, that's pretty cool.
0:55 - I take it back. THIS is the best music ever.

The rest of the trailer lets us look at his repertoire of weapons, which includes:   

Metal Blade
Crash Bomber
Leaf Shield
Hard Knuckle
Flame Sword
Slash Claw
Spark Shock
Super Arm
Flame Blast

Holy crap, that's a lot. Bear in mind that this is IN ADDITION TO using Rush for recovery, having a slide, a chargeable Mega Buster, and standard punches and kicks.

Obviously you can't have all of these moves mapped to a controller, cause there's only so many input options. Which leads me to believe one thing:

Customizable Movesets.

What if it's like Pokémon? Every character gets about a dozen moves, and each player picks four to use in each fight. (Though in Pokémon's case, each Pokémon really gets about fifty, but that's unrealistic for Smash.)

This could explain why we see so much stuff with these new arrivals, as well as Pit and DK's new moves.

All this is just speculation though. What do you think?

Oh, and at 1:30 we get him fighting the Yellow Devil, most likely as an Adventure Mode boss.

Here's his artwork, by the way. Though it doesn't tell us much more than we already knew.
