"Our favorite? We're going with either Falco's or Snake's."

Was Falco a joke? Fox/Falco/Star Wolf seem to have the same final smash... thats lame.

Zelda and Sheik also ahve the same final smash, while Samus and Zero Suit Samus dont....

Toon Link also has the same final smash as link...

I am dying for this game, but this sadened me a bit...........

Ness and Lucas also have the same final smash...

Kyle Orland, their final smash is called PSI Starstorm.

Kyle Orland, here are a few mistkaes you made:

Lucario uses Psybeam.
It's Boar Ganon.
Peach's are present during Peach's final smash.
Zelda/Sheik use the light arrow.

Which is funny, because Ness (and Lucas, maybe, I never played Mother 3) didn't get Starstorm, if I recall correctly. It was Poo.

I haven't played Earthbound for a whie but I think your right, Ness never got Starstorm. They should have had his final smash be PSI Rockin'. It's pretty disappointing to see so many of them have the same final smash, hopefully they don't all play the same as well. It's also pretty lame how some of the final smashes are so weak compared to others that are pretty much instant kills.

Another correction...:

"Charizard/Bulbasaur"

It is Charizard/Ivysour/Squirtl.

another mistake is that you accidentally mixed up marth with ike and ike with marth. Marth does the single slice ike does the sword juggle

ballistic3188 - Ike does the single slash and you can tell because the power meter used in Fire Emblem shows up above the opponents percent meter (lower right of the screen). That's a dead giveaway.

Ness never learned PK Fire, PK Thunder, PSI Magnet or PK Starstorm (all shared moves from Paula and Poo). Ness did learn PK Flash and should have had PK Rockin' as a FS.

Lucas never learned PK Fire, PK Thunder, PK Freeze or PSI Magnet (all Kumatora's moves). Lucas should have had PK Love as a FS. Yes, I own Mother 3.

Even though they were drastically changed and Starstorm looks a little sucky, I will continue to main Ness.

Realize that some of these smashes are more single target focused vs. others, so some will seem much more impressive when you're fighting multiple opponents.

For example, Ness/Lucas's Starscream and Meta Knights (believe the "Slash" hits everyone)

Also, Olimar's Final Smash is a play on Pikmin's "take off at the end of the day". All the other players are left behind and eaten by the native aliens.

"# Samus: 10/10 good job ^_^" if you're accurate, then I'm extremely saddened. I hate Samus so much! Thank goodness Fox's final smash looks to be great too.

You have to remember that the game isnt about the Final smashes.Its about using characters you always wanted to use.Every character have their own unique moves that make up for their FS being similar.This game will be the game of the year if not the decade.

Like Ganondorf, Toon Link, Wolf, and Falco all have unique moves? (and Lucario, since he's a better Mewtwo?)

Seeing Marth's Final Smash reaffirmed my reason as to why he is the King of Smash. That sword swing was BRUTAL. It's also nice to see Wolf O'Donnell in there. I wonder how much different his moves will be compared to Fox and Falco.

probably about the same with a tweak on speed and power. thats how they've done it in the previous games anyway. he may be slower than Fox but more powerful or something like that. that would be my guess anyway.

I'd raise Diddy Kong's "score". It did look pretty lame on the Dojo, but it looks even lamer in that video because the player didn't fire his popgun at all. It looks way better in motion. IGN has a video of it.

First of all, you mixed up Ike and Marth. secondly, how could you rate Peach's final smash so low? it's arguably the best one there is.

Man, seeing PK Starstorm in action is kind of disappointing. But I have to say, the invocation of the move is totally badass. Though yeah... it should have been PSI Rockin (or as it's most commonly known in Japanese, PK Kiai - that would have been awesome to hear shouted).

Also, the audio seems kind of funky for Lucario's Final Smash. But it sounds like Psywave. This might explain why it seems to suck - that move was terrible in the original games.
