Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS Discussion

Sakurai's latest update is very interesting. It appears that edge hogging is nerfed. For those who don't know what that means, it's when you hold onto the ledge so your opponent can't grab it and pull themselves back up. Very useful technique.

Didn't make extensive use of it, so I don't really care in the end. I think it helps those with crappy recoveries. :P

LGM, you call me BM Oops and your sis calls me BM Poops...It's Bloops. :P

Also, while I wouldn't mind the goddess, I do have another picture I saw...

But did you see the thickness of the outline of Palutena in both the images? Especially against Mario in the first one. It's very inconsistent with the way they've been showing the characters, so it makes me believe that it is not real.

Also, maybe it's showing off Pit's Final smash!? Or AT. Maybe a new character, though I am wary with the images. Who knows?

 

[New Super Mario]

Even if it is not real, I think she is basically a shoe in anyway.

I mean, with all the female representation and what not.

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

yes

let this be real

the major leak is gaining credibility

soon i will have the assist trophy i have been waiting for

Ok, Baby Mario Hoops

 

[Zae]

[Ray Trace]

Meh, another smash character to beat up

 

[DragonFreak]

I just want Ghirahim or some another Zelda newcomer.

We all want Ghirahim.

 

[Smashley]

i don't

 

[Revin]

personally, i'm not sure if i want palutena as a playable... i mean, i won't be mad or anything if she is, but i've always sorta pictured her as something like a commander or strategist, not a fighter

Lately, I've been paying more attention to how Rosalina would be able to work out, regarding her Luma partner.

After keeping track of the trailer contents, I did have the following inputs...

Spoiler

The first dilemma is the Luma summoning, where a lot of questions are still asked.

The Luma got summoned while Rosalina was doing that animation. However...

Rosalina reused that same animation again, but no Luma popped up. This may mean that Rosalina is simply performing one of her taunts. If this theory is right on the money, it might be possible that the Luma summon is actually instantaneous, and can be performed successfully, regardless of what Rosalina is doing.

Next up is the Luma Shot...

We don't really know how far away the Luma can be from Rosalina when that move is used. But if the Luma Shot simply has the Luma attacking in the direction that Rosalina is facing, then there's the possibility that the Luma summon special will bring the Luma back to Rosalina if it's already present. And based on the image below, the Luma can return to Rosalina, even if she's in a bad spot.

If these theories are on the right track, combine them with Rosalina's seemingly fast (and in some cases, wide-ranging) standard attacks, and this could make her a tough character to deal with, regardless of her large size and light weight.

Keep note, however, that these are just theories on my part, and there have been some users who have questioned my thoughts as well.

I think the Luma is offscreen

i don't

High five Smasher.

Nothing against Ghirahim (other than the fact he's a psychotic freak), but I don't want one-time series goers to be in the series. Everyone so far as at least appeared in more than 1 game, even Rosalina. Ghirahim is like the new Zant or Midna during SSBB.

Though, Midna is a different story, because I'll still take her...

My point is, if Ghirahim was not a one time guy, maybe he would have better chances. And don't say the "oh, but Sheik" argument. They added Zelda with Sheik, and Zelda is a major part of the Zelda series (OBVIOUSLY). They added Sheik in Brawl because there would be a lot of backlash if she did not have it, so we should be greatful for that.

And anyways, have you noticed that all the characters added so far are ones from really top-selling games/series? Wii Fit Trainer for Wii Fit series, Villager for the very successful Animal Crossing, Mega Man from his (used to be great) series, and Rosalina from the Super Mario Galaxy/Mario Kart games. Argue about whether or not Skyward Sword was a great game, it did not sell as well as OoT and TP. Plus, they did not keep Link and Zelda style characters from Skyward Sword, but more of a blend of OoT And TP. I have a feeling that is also a big indicator.

HeyMnSG...

Maybe it's a taunt, but it could possibly be her normal-B position.

I definitely think the Luma Shot is a side-B move. That'll be what decides if Luma will be right near you or quite the distance from you, making Rosie and Luma like Ice Climbers but the ability to spread out.

I think the Luma is offscreen

Or it could mean that Rosalina hasn't summoned the Luma yet. Of course, there's also the chance that the Luma is far away from Rosalina, and is taking longer to return to her, thanks to the distance difference.

Either way you look at it, it's possible that Rosalina will start matches all by herself, and may have to summon the Luma manually.

If it wasn't already confirmed, this new picture pretty much confirms that the Kid Icarus Uprising stage is based off Chapter 10 of the game. I hope they focus more on the Reset Bomb part of the stage rather than the "ongoing war with humans" section in the beginning. Still hoping for the Lunar Asylum (w/e the Chapter 13 stage with Arlon is)........

 

[GalacticPetey]

Hmm. This picture is shown the day after the supposed Palutena leak. Coincidence? I think not! Quit teasing us Sakurai.

 

[New Super Mario]

OMG those Miiverse comments lol.

Some of them actually think that's Palutena or some don't even know her name entirely. I mean, Virvi? wat?

But I'm glad she's in the game in some form. She was a neat character that I hated at first and liked her much more as the game's story went on.

 

[Crackin355]

I thought Viridi was the best character in Kid Icarus Uprising. So even though she has no chance to be a playable character I'm glad she gets a cameo at least.

Sakurai was like: "Oh shet somebody leaked our secret plans! Quick, let's reprogram the game!"

if we're lucky we'll get to hear her yell at players when they die

"Come ON! Are you even trying?"

that would seriously make my day
