I like her boobs

Honestly, people who post rants or whatevs on YouTube should really sit down and consider what they want to say first. They just whittle on about the same point over and over again as they try to think of the next thing to say.

Also there is something very off putting in someone saying that everyone should have the same opinion as him. No matter how valid your opinion is, you don't have the right to say that this is the opinion everyone else must have.

Also it's funny that in all that time they didn't actually come up with the sound logical argument for heels. When one jumps you launch off the balls of your feet. If one's feet were propelled at great speeds by a rocket you'd basically want to avoid your ankles having a discomforting jolt every time this happened so to avoid this you'd want your feet in a ready to jump position. Hence heels.

I don't mind filler pics. We got tons of good shots from the Direct, 160 and 250 of them.

What site did you view them from?

*SuperSah: sorry for late reply, got distracted by shiny things

Finally got around to viewing those 160 press 3DS screens from that miiverse fansite's 3DS section; http://smashbros-miiverse.com/3ds

By the way, here are some things I gleaned from said pics:

More than just homerun's cause eye popping; See unicorn Pokemans attack:

Koume's (or is it Kotake?) Definitely KOs at high enough percentages as DK informs us:

There are between 4-5 stage transformations for Arena Ferrox:

Cool Classic Segmented Pipes section for SM3DL I hadn't caught a glimpse of yet:

Rainbow road transformations:

Prism Tower transformations:

Spirit Train Transformations

Reset Bomb Forest:

Gerudo Valley:

Tortimer Island:

*interesting that you can hang from Kapp'n's boat*

*variety of fruit drop from trees*

Living room:

*KITTY!*

*now hamburger is on other side so I guess the pets mess with the stage*

*mouse chew toy confirms pets "attack stage elements*

Still updating but in the meantime: holy shit at this which is my wallpaper now and should be yours to (everyone alive today)

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

^Could anyone make that without the logos? That would look amazing.

 

[BGBW]

Yup, that's GajinGoomba's voice

Well I found one video on his channel where it is him in front of the camera to confirm my suspicions that he adjusted the pitch of his voice, but I honestly don't see why he does it. It basically takes way from any standing he may have.

holy shit at this which is my wallpaper now and should be yours to (everyone alive today)

Not really. I hate logos on wallpapers. Also my wallpaper is already the best.

Only Miiverse images look good. I cannot wait to see it in action.

That second transformation for Arena Ferox, are those platforms in the same layout (including statues) as the Castle Seige indoor section in Brawl?

No, Castle Siege had each statue holds one platform.

 

[powerdrain]

Weren't you guys posting about DK's grounded up B last night and we got a picture of it today.

Soooooo.........about Ridley.

 

[Princess_Eevee9]

Well I think Monolith is actually pretty important to Nintendo now, since X is one of their major 1st party games in the works, and that happened due to the success of Xenoblade. Remember it was localized as part of Project Rainfall through pure fan demand, and when popularity is great enough to have tangible effects it raises some eyebrows. I think Monolith has earned having him in smash

Actually they didn't even pay attention to the petition because if that was the case I'd be okay Majoras Mask in my 3DS. They localized all three games because the Wii was at the end of its life and if the games tanked wasn't really a loss. The game wasn't a critical success sales wise and the game was average at best. X won't even see the light of day for many years seeing how they treat their RPG titles not named Mario.

 

[SuperSah]

That statue on the right though. :lol

 

[IntelliHeath]

There has been far too much info revealed this month outside of it.

I truly believe they're holding off on it this time and pushing all badass reveals until E3. Mark my words

How about this one then?

Hmmm.

the only options on the leak imo re

1. it's legit

2. he seen some or all the e3 characters plus little mac, mii and pacman, and also seen the new grenninja trailer and just added the other 5.

ether way something has defiantly been leaked, personally I am 90 percent on 1 being the truth. To bad because the final roster is horrid

Don't bring your melodramatic whining to this thread please, because I have seen some people and moderator are getting fed up with your whining on other board. We don't know anything for sure at the moment. The leaks are not solid 100% until the game got released since we don't know if the leak provided full roster or not..

Also 48 characters roster being horrid, I think many people would disagreed with you here as well. Also here is my comment toward to you from other board.

I would like to remind you that Sakurai don't pick the characters based on their popularity only. He kept looking for unique qualities in those characters as well. That's why it's extremely important for Sakurai to pick the characters with unique qualities so they could stand out comparing to veterans rather than cookie cutter characters.

Look at newcomers

Little Mac - He's a beast on the ground with few serious flaws which is mostly landed on recovery and aerial battles. Yeah, he is one of Western's most wanted character but he was able to provided an unique gameplay for Smash.

Wii Fit Trainer - At first, she surely look like a cookie cutter character, but now we found out about her deep breathing technique so basically she is boost character where she have to activated the move in order to power up her other attacks. Also her franchise is extremely popular everywhere along with casual players. Her franchise is 6th best selling wii game, so basically the franchise have sold over 22M.

Villager - One of most wanted characters all over the worldwide. People kept clamoring for Animal Crossing representative ever since pre-Brawl hype.

Mega Man - One of most legendary and popular third-party character despite the fact that Capcom kept mismanaged the franchise. He is one of most requested character over the worldwide.

Rosalina & Luma - Mario Galaxy and Mario Galaxy protagonist. Both games are pretty much successful, so both games have been sold over 18M. She have been gaining a lot of popularity lately. I admitted that she is one of unexpected character for me at least, along with Greninja. Look at her gameplay, she actually brought a unique moveset into this game, which is Puppetmaster which work similar to Carl from Blazblue or Any Stand from JoJo Fighting game.

Greninja - I admitted that I'm mind blown by his inclusion. We finally got a true Ninja character; at best, A NINJA FROG. Yeah, Greninja is one of most recently character that have became playable character, so I can't really defend him that much however you have to face the fact that Pokemon X/Y have been sold over 12M which is pretty impressive sales in the video game industry. Also Greninja is one of most popular pokemon in X/Y. Sometime I wonder if they were planning ahead to push Froakie and it's evolution line since we're aware of the fact that Ash had Froakie in his team. Maybe, Maybe not. About his moveset, it's pure ninja moveset which excited me since every time he acted out the moves with streak of badassness.

I wouldn't comment on rumored characters unless they becomes 100% confirmed but you have to look at aspect where they came from. They could be there due to popularities, unique movesets or mechanism, or their importance to franchise and Nintendo history. Actually, I would say Sakurai and the teams did fantastic job with characters inclusions so far.

I don't remember words to words, but Sakurai said that he felt that Smash Bros could be boring game if he had to bring all of the popular and highly demanded characters in the game. I would agreed with him fully because I can't imagine the Smash without Jigglypuff, Ice Climbers, Mr. Game and Watch, R.O.B, etc because they brought so much histories to the Smash Franchise.

I know you have been wanting Ridley to be in the game so much, but I think you shouldn't fret too much right now until we see the final roster which is like 4 or 5 months away. Basically, it's wait and see game for us to see if the rumors and leaks are real or not; and how good the roster would be. Just be patience and tough it out for 4-5 months so who know Sakurai could surprise you with playable Ridley or not.

Advice: Patience is Virtue.

Edited: I apologized for being off topic but I think people shouldn't take rumors and leaks 100% serious until we are so sure that they are real. It's fun to reading the rumors and leaks to see what people would trying so hard to fake the list, but at same time when it come to leaks that have potentially to be real; it's great thing to keep it in our minds so we can be prepare for the reveals.

wow we back to filler

We have over 300 new screen shots from press kits and 40 minutes Direct which provided a lot of informations which Sakurai need to cover on Miiverse.

 

[Unbounded]

I don't get the appeal of smash run, I like the dynamic of everyone starting in separate places and working your way through the mazes, but the reward, fighting with stats modifiers just seems terrible. I hate using the bunny hood, jumping and moving so fast is awful other than for the novelty factor.

You'll understand once you've played it.

As a matter of fact, go hunt down a copy of Kirby Air Ride.

 

[Nohar]

I was wondering: will all characters be revealed before the game is released, or will some of them be kept hidden until we manage to unlock them directly in-game? I can't remember how it was when Super Smash Bros Brawl came out.

Unlockable characters were revealed after the game's release. Portraits were just question marks and you also had to say you were willing to view the page's content.

That's actually a rather clever approach.
Thank you for your answer!

Aside from the heels (I'm doing my best to ignore that), Zero Samus's costume is better looking than its Brawl counterpart.

New Samus looks amazing.

 

[BGBW]

Also hopefully ZSS palette option look better this time round. They were pretty ugly last time round (and of course there's the advantage of them not being tied to a Samus palette).

 

[BassForever]

Yay more direct info reiterated woo -.-

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

All I can think is that, while the breasts on both are about the same size, the new model makes it look like she has implants compared to the more natural looking Brawl model.

 

[-Horizon-]

Pic of the day. Tac (on the left) steals your charged power. If you've charged up a lot, he might steal a ton of it. Chase after him quickly to get it back!!

Thats not Cranky.

More that her suit fits her better rather than it being oddly loose in that area.

Actually they didn't even pay attention to the petition because if that was the case I'd be okay Majoras Mask in my 3DS.

X won't even see the light of day for many years seeing how they treat their RPG titles not named Mario.

1. The Project Rainfall games had already been released. They just needed to be localized. A Majora's Mask sequel would have to be made from scratch. Besides, Majora's Mask 3D has not been deconfirmed yet. We could get a trailer at E3.
2. They most definitely did localized those games because of Project Rainfall. Without our excessive whining, the games would likely have not been released in NA.
3. Xenoblade sold quite well, especially considering that you can only get it at GameStop.
4. The game has a 92 on Metacritic and is beloved by its fans. Play the game before deciding that it is mediocre.

You're in for a disappointing few weeks.

 

[DaBoss]

Speaking of ZSS, did no one point out the trails yesterday? I'm guessing people noticed but didn't post it. I don't know why I didn't lol.

There weren't trails when she used her Down B in Brawl.

What do you think about the possibility of some attacks causing backwards tripping/sliding, btw? Bowser hits Luigi with a strong attack and it happens and I think I'm okay with it as long as it is restrictive to certain attacks and a low chance of happening.

I'm hoping it is some Luigi being slippery thing.

 

[KHlover]

and better hair simulation engine.

Yeah, just noticed that Zamus's hair doesn't point upwards anymore. Maybe Netherrealm should borrow the technology...the female characters' hair in MK9 is just awful.

 

[BassForever]

Today's pic is so bad we're back to discussing yesterdays pic again? Lol

 

[Ricky 7]

New ZSS is awesome, Sakurai managed to turn something terrible into something amazing. I remember when we were all panicking about the Other M ZSS making it in as well. XP

This is coming from a guy who loves Samus's new look and think the rocket heels look badass.

I'm also fine with the PotD showing nothing new, I'm still hyped by that wonderful Direct and sometime re-watch it because it's so good.
It's enough for me until E3.

Ohhhhhhhhhh.

I was staring at that pic for ages yesterday trying to figure out what was going on with the background. I thought it was Samus in some crazy pose that's breaking her spine in several locations but it's a trail of multiple Samus's.

I think it's a property of the stage rather than her down B though, but who knows.

Well DK is doing his Up Special on the ground which was one of the things we were confused about at the end of the last thread.

Though this is in Smash Run and we wouldn't know what effects DK has.

Ohhhhhhhhhh.

Yea, it definitely could be a part of the stage. I'm thinking that Sakurai wants to add effects to most of Samus' moves.

Yep, it does.

Yep, especially that someone recommended me to watch UK's Smash Direct since it had subtitles. I'm tempted to watch subtitled direct for second time tho. Hopefully we will be back to track somewhen in May but I doubt it. We already found out over 30 items from the Direct, along with good amount of assist trophies and pokeball pokemons. Also there are many informations that Sakurai need to cover for Miiverse, so we will see repeated information for long ride.

For some reason, I assumed it was associated with the stage somehow, but someone pointed out that samus has this effect sometimes in super metroid.
