51-53. Mii Fighters

No-one in their right mind would choose to play as the Mii Fighters, but there they are. They no longer look like SEGA Saturn models, and according to the trailer, their moves have been "enhanced." But they're still very obviously crap.

54. Palutena

Kid Icarus' Goddess of Light sees her special Reflector and Counter attacks streamlined into a single move, the former replaced with a short-distance fireball.

55. Pac-Man

Did you ever notice that Pac-Man has Pac-Mans for eyes? It's creepy. Anyway, Toru Iwatani's legendary pillhead now has a faster Final Smash, which allows the player to wrap around the screen as in the arcade classic, and his trampoline can no longer be used by opponents.

56. Robin

A meter displaying remaining uses for Robin's Levin Sword and Tome now sits next to the Fire Emblem Awakening avatar's damage counter. As before, both female and male Robins are on offer.

57. Shulk

Rather elegantly, Shulk's Monado Arts can now be selected from a radial menu not dissimilar to Xenoblade Chronicles', replacing the cumbersome system from Smash 4. Additionally, Shulk's best mate Fiora appears during his Final Smash.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
