So Flare Blitz is side B, rock smash is now down B and mega is indeed his FS.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Oh good, Rock Smash still there for Master Hand

 

[OricWindstar]

Final Smash confirmation for Charizard! Ask and you shall receive.

 

[Poltergust]

Yay! Rock Smash is back! I was worried that it was taken out.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Rock Smash is down-b now, so Charizard is going to headbutt the ground?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Tell us what you know, Joe.

he has super surskit sources

 

[Feltrol]

She could definitely make an interesting fighter (Sakurai has shown he can make pretty much anyone interesting), but as far as character that represents something cool from the franchise they hail from...not so much. I actually like Dinosaur Planet, but I always felt like she was sort of bland

I have to agree there. She can be more interesting.

krystals a girl

Wolf is a boy, or a male wolf?

 

[ffdgh]

Pic of the day. Here's Charizard's new special attack, Flare Blitz. It's a very powerful attack--however, you'll take recoil damage if you make contact. Pretty true to the original game, huh? Flare Blitz is Charizard's side special move, and Rock Smash is the down special move.

And here's Mega Charizard X. This will appear as Charizard's Final Smash.

Here you go, Joe.

Oh look there's donkey kong diddy just like I predicted. Goodbye rocksmash.

wait...it replaces flamethrower?

 

[Regulus Tera]

Flamethrower
Flare Blitz
Fly (?)
Rock Smash

Sakurai doesn't play competitive confirmed. Again.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Oh look there's donkey kong diddy just like I predicted. Goodbye rocksmash.

wut?

 

[SenorArdilla]

Let's see,

Charizard @ Charizardite X
~Flamethrower
~Fly
~Flare Blitz
~Rock Smash

EDIT:
Seems legit.

 

[SuperSah]

Recoil, huh?

Don't try that one in a pickle!

 

[StreetsAhead]

he has super surskit sources

Mega Luvdisc for playable.

 

[Richie]

I love how the second pic seems an afterthought, that sparse comment...Pretty cool update though! Joe can indeed see the future. When will Falcon appear, Joe?

 

[ffdgh]

wut?

Sorry sorry just had a brain derp moment.

 

[OricWindstar]

wait...it replaces flamethrower?

Flamethrower is his neutral B, Flame Blitz is his side B.

Also, are there any other attacks that only cause recoil damage when the attack makes contact?

 

[Loco4Coco]

Flamethrower is his neutral B, Flame Blitz is his side B.

Also, are there any other attacks that only cause recoil damage when the attack makes contact?

Pichu, and you don't even need to make contact.

Pichu.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Double Edge and Brave Bird come to mind.

EDIT: Oh you mean in Smash.

 

[OricWindstar]

Pichu, and you don't even need to make contact.

That's what I mean, though. This only causes damage when he hits an opponent, which I don't think has been done before.

Edit: Referring to Smash Bros., not Pokemon.

 

[Zalman]

Mega Charizard X looks amazing.

 

[Muzy72]

Nice to get confirmation of Charizard's full moveset, assuming Fly didn't get replaced. Also, this should bring an end to any speculation that said Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario are activated in any other way

 

[Ezalc]

I always hated rock smash, kind of sad it's still in.

 

[Benzychenz]

I thought that was a Falcon Punch for a second


Also, notice how Joe didn't put a disclaimer about not having inside info today?

 

[Brainfreeze]

What about Mega Charizard Y?

 

[Regulus Tera]

What about Mega Charizard Y?

Nobody cares about Mega Charizard Y cause sneaky pebbles.

I always hated rock smash, kind of sad it's still in.

Rock Smash in Boss Battles is fucking amazing.

 

[Qurupeke]

Interesting pic. I guess Flare Blitz will be quite powerful because recoil is not a good thing. Also, the Mega looks slick. I like it.

 

[ffdgh]

Also, notice how Joe didn't put a disclaimer about not having inside info today?

It's already confirmed.png

 

[theprodigy]

Nobody cares about Mega Charizard Y cause sneaky pebbles.

pfft, what a Smogon loser, VGC is where it's at /s

 

[Zalman]

What about Mega Charizard Y?

Sakurai chose the superior Charizard.

 

[Loco4Coco]

I wonder how far Flare Blitz travels, I'm guessing just the same as Fox's up-b.

 

[Brainfreeze]

Sakurai chose the superior Charizard.

Can't I just have my digimon Charizard like, one day a week?

Use Wii U's eternal clock to give me Mega Charizard Y Mondays.

 

[JoeM86]

I'm wondering what stage is Mega Charizard X on?

I don't recognise the skyline.

Probably is Battlefield though

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wolf is a boy, or a male wolf?

it was a joke :<

like krystal doesn't have a staff coz she's a girl

 

[Tan]

Wait why did they keep rock smash

 

[voltronbadA]

Since SmashGAF loves lists, what other moves cause damage to one's self besides this flare blitz?
Charizard - Flare Blitz
DeDeDe - fully charged hammer
....... (Someone fill in the rest, I'm too tired to think straight)

 

[Dryk]

pfft, what a Smogon loser, VGC is where it's at /s

Stealth Rock doesn't have shit on the unpredictability and lack of weakness cross-over the MegaZards have

 

[Regulus Tera]

Enjoy your MegaKhans vs MegaKhans.

Well, in Melee, Pichu was the ultimate recoil character.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Wait why did they keep rock smash

To obliterate all the bosses.

 

[OricWindstar]

Skyloft, maybe?

 

[ffdgh]

Wait why did they keep rock smash

Maybe Sakurai buffed it and gave it a stealth rock after effect. Charizard for top tier./s

 

[SenorArdilla]

• Diddy Kong - Rocketbarrel Boost, when hitting a wall or ceiling. Deals 5% damage.
• Ike - Fully charged Eruption, deals 10% damage.
• King Dedede - Jet Hammer - when holding a fully charged Jet Hammer, King Dedede will receive damage in a fashion similar to Hoop Damage: it damages at 1% increments, but does not do any damage when at 150% or above
• Kirby - Can copy Eruption from Ike, Flare Blade from Roy, and Thunder Jolt from Pichu only. Former two both deal 10% damage when fully charged, latter does 1% when used. In Smash 4, he will also take recoil damage from holding a fully charged Hammer Flip.
• Mr. Game & Watch - #1 Judge, deals 12% damage.
• Pichu - Most electric-based moves: Thunder Jolt (1%), Skull Bash (1%), Agility (1% for the first leap and 3% for the optional second one), Thunder (3% when connecting with Pichu), forward smash (2%), forward aerial (4%), down aerial (1%, or 2% if Pichu hits the ground during the attack), pummel (1%), and forward throw (1%). Up throw and down throw do not cause any recoil damage, despite their electrical effects.
• Roy - Fully charged Flare Blade, deals 10% damage.

 

[voltronbadA]

Thanks Senor! Gotta love those lists! I agrees, I really hope the move is powerful enough to justify the recoil damage; that or the recoil damage isn't very significant.

 

[Feltrol]

it was a joke :<

like krystal doesn't have a staff coz she's a girl

Damn it! Lol.

I will do a comeback someday, Boss Dogie. Just you wait.

 

[MrSaturn99]

It's the sky portion of the new Final Destination.

And here's Mega Charizard X. This will appear as Charizard's Final Smash.

Here you go, Joe.

Nice to see that Charizard is keeping Rock Smash, as it was my favorite move of his in Brawl. Flare Blitz looks like tons of fun as well!

 

[Rychu Supadude]

Odd that both the small glimpse in the trailer and this shot only show Mega-Zard in the air, not on the ground. If it's "always flying" ala Diddy Kong's FS then that would differentiate it from the pure power-up nature of Mega Lucario, i guess... Seems almost ironic given that the X form is Dragon type rather than Flying?

 

[Toxi]

Strange to see Charizard using Rock Smash, but it was pretty popular.

Flare Blitz is an awesome addition.

Nobody cares about Mega Charizard Y cause sneaky pebbles.

Both Charizards hate sneaky pebbles.

The value of Charizard is that you have to play a guessing game whenever you see one.

 

[Fandangox]

I thought that was a Falcon Punch for a second


Also, notice how Joe didn't put a disclaimer about not having inside info today?

Same I glanced and thought that was the falcon kick first.
