OK, I have put some serious time into this game and have prepared some of my own comments. For one thing, Luigis fireballs dont travel nearly as far, although I like the fact that you can hold his side-B after charging it and release it when you want to. I am not a big fan of the Smoke Bomb, seems something of a pointless, annoying item. Likewise, I love the Cracker Launcher. Used properly, it can be as devastating as a Hammer. Speaking of which, the Hammer seems a little weaker this time around, but perhaps that's so the Golden Hammer can clearly be the more powerful of the two.
Though I didn't think I'd like him too much, I have really taken quite a liking to the Pokemon Trainer. The diversity of attack styles he brings to the table is really appealing. Also, I've been really liking Snake, though honestly, he seems a bit broken to me. He's crazy fast, and hits as hard as Bowser or Ganondorf with attacks that launch half as fast. His forward smash is incredible if it connects, and being able to charge up a down smash, and leave it until someone comes to it themselves seems a bit...cheesy. That said, he's still crazy fun to play.
Hmm...what else...Oh. Subspace Emissary. Very fun stuff.
