Super Smash Bros Brawl: New Characters

I grabbed a copy of this game about two weeks ago. You owe it to yourself to try it out. The game is incredibly fun. As most everyone here has played a "smash" game before I am not going to review the game mechanics. If you like it you like it. But I just wanted to touch on the new characters.

Character: Pit


Cons


Just about all his attacks are very close range and do little damage.

Pros


Difficult to suffer from falling death as he has wings.
Arrow from Pit's bow attack is controllable before fire by changing angle of bow.
Arrow from Pit's bow attack is controllable after fire by arcing the arrow up or down.
Easy to string quick attacks into a series of combos.


Character: Wario


Cons


Awkward movement and attack style
Difficult to string attacks into combos

Pros


Can run over opponents with motocycle

Character: Ike


Cons


Slow attack style
Short range

Pros


Attacks deal large amounts of damage
Attacks have a large area of effect

Character: Pokemon Trainer


Cons


Bulbasaur sucks
Easy to fall off edge with squirtle

Pros


Switching pokemon allows for quick adaption in the heat of battle
