Anyway, I think part of the reason Sakurai is okay with things being unbalanced (as long as everyone is at least playable) is that it means you can handicap players by playing stronger or weaker characters.

I'm enjoying myself. Mii Gunner is working really well for me -- plays pretty similarly to how I would have designed my own character.

Actually I changed my mind on Little Mac after spending more time on him, if I could call him anything it would be that he's a glass cannon. He's absolutely devastating on ground and can wipe the field with everyone. Competitive play-wise he's OP. But through any other game/story mode in Smash he's underpowered (which is what gave me that impression at first, until I began fighting online with him when playing on random.)

Villager is pretty balanced, but his pocket ability broken if trained/time properly. (He's able to pocket some character's final smash, ridiculous!)I don't have to much of a problem with him, easy to understand, has multiple of good moves across both competitive and casual play.

And I've been hearing a lot of positive things about the gunner class, and a lot of people are enjoying melee as well. I haven't heard much about swordsmanship though.
