Nope, not yet. Melee didn't have entry animations?

Melee had a super generic one for every character where their trophies spark and come to life.

 

[Ryce]

There's no reason to remove entrances since the animation data from Brawl can easily be reused. I'm sure they'll be back.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Why have Saki when we can have Isa? ....most people probably don't even know that Isa is the protagonist of S&P2. Actually, most people probably don't know S&P2 exists.

Saki's Ruffian transformation looks cooler than Isa's.

They didn't use the feature for Melee at all. It's in 64 and Brawl. I hope that it would remain to be in Smash 4 as well.

Wow. I hope they keep Brawl like entries.

Whoops

Keep this thread clean, just a friendly reminder for y'all.

 

[Ricky 7]

Don't know what's going on in this one, maybe the after effects of Flare Blitz?:

Also it looks like Charizard's Flamethrower has extended range:

I can't find the proper version of this pic:

It looks like his down smash.

 

[Azure J]

Something I just realized, with the "no transformation" rule in effect, the Prince of Sable is definitely not our new retro for this game.

 

[Kjellson]

I downloaded the Chrono Trigger soundtrack on iTunes yesterday and listening to it now. I really wish we got a Square rep and I really wish it was Crono. A man can dream.

I have S&P2 (haven't played more than half an hour) and I don't know who Isa is.

I never touched S&P but I know who Saki is.

In this context, what does "rigged" mean?

They're basically saying they hope the default parameters of the model poses / animations, or "rigs," get a little more polishing done before release. It's not as noticeable in older titles because there were less variables like collision detection, polygons and model bones to worry about, but nowadays with all of the weird body types and potential scenarios that could happen in Smash, there's bound to be some weirdness on occasion.

 

[Het_Nkik]

They? I was talking about the graphic so I'm pretty sure that It looks fantastic is correct statement.

I was making a boobs joke.

Actually this gif applied to me this time.

 

[Jezan]

Did she punch in Brawl as well? Which move is this?

Standing A , it's her first hit.

New move? Looks like Snake's forward tilt.

Apparently its her up+b in the ground

 

[MrSaturn99]

Well those were some fun screenshots. Anything with Charizard and Yoshi = lol.

Also, not sure how legit this is but apparently Sean Schemmel may be voicing Lucario in this one.

So.. anyone starting to wonder if this game is actually in 1080p? Yeah we get 1080p screens all the time, but I don't think we've EVER gotten one that's clean. They're all compressed to hell and back. And I'm starting to wonder if what we're seeing is upscaling artifacts more than anything. There's never been a single aliased line with clear 1:1 pixeling, they're always a little bit blurry.

Crono and Geno, with Square's permission of course, would make all my Smash dreams come true

I always believed 720/60fps.

Metroid will lose his girlfriend in the upcoming AAAA blockbuster.

I remember back in the Melee days my friend kept saying that was the one thing he missed from 64.

I like to think the suit is empty and she just set it up in a cool pose in this shot.

It's the SA-X and she is gonna do a sneak attack on it.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Obviously the Samus of 1986 has come to save the Samus of 2010 from the Great Dragon Sakamoto.

Spoiler

Ridley is in the suit.

I've been wondering this for months. I swear these look upscaled; the diagonals just look too blurry.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked if it IS 720p, though.

It seems a little too clear for 720p. If it isn't 1080p it might be 900p.

900p?
This isn't the Xbox One, stop it

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

You can't judge resolution off of compressed images, dudes.

 

[BassForever]

Oh snap

I have S&P2 (haven't played more than half an hour) and I don't know who Isa is.

...his name is in the character selection screen.

 

[Tathanen]

Time for some SCIENCE!

JPG with no (or very little) compression:

JPG with quality at 60/100:

That's a pretty significant compression, most places I'd imagine wouldn't compress past 70 or 80. And while the aliasing on that mountain indeed blurs a bit, it's nowhere near the blur we see on SSB4 diagonals.

Here's an uncompressed 720p image:

Here's the same image scaled up to 1080p:

I dunno about you guys, but this is what I'm seeing in these SSB4 shots. This isn't image compression blurring, this is upscaling blurring.

 

[Linkhero1]

Exactly シ

The aliasing in the Smash shots is much smaller though.

Are you saying you just booted up the game and let it stay on the menus?

I don't blame you, the song is bitching.

 

[Linkhero1]

I should really go back and play it. The music is awesome. I wouldn't mind if they gave it the Golden Sun treatment and included some of the music in Super Smash Bros. U

 

[Benzychenz]

No.

 

[L Thammy]

Saki's Ruffian transformation looks cooler than Isa's.

Saki = Evangelion
Isa = King Gainer

It is a game where people shoot missiles at you and you can kick them back. That's a good reason to play it.

 

[theprodigy]

Wait was this image actually released for real?

lol
