Percentage total alternates with player number/name over the character's head I assume

Edit: huh, thought the steam was coming from the background, good to know what to look for in 4 player matches

ahahahahaha

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Does that mean you can turn the HUD off? Interesting... Or maybe the gamepad will show the HUD and some stats

 

[Hyperactivity]

So Zetta Slow.

Today we are getting the MOON.

Speaking of which, I finally got the game Monday

Image is weird, but I feel great, like there's a giant wait off my shoulders

So what trophy will be today? Maybe it will be Lucina this time around

EDIT: Sakurai ninja'ed me

 

[georgetheplushie]

When you stay in the same place for a period of time, the game probably changes the 1-4P or name indicator to a percentage indicator. It's been in older games but not in the versus modes if I'm remembering correctly.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Cant even gouge what the comment is going to be from this picture

Also smoke rises from them the more damage they have, according to the comment.

Have fun with that, hope you don't scratch or ruin your touch screen.

Shit gets intense in both of those games.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Pic of the day. Characters that have heavy damage slowly start to emit steam. When your opponent starts to get nice and smoky, give 'em a solid attack!

Ohhh I see now, dunno if I like it or not, will have to see it in action.

That's just weird. What possessed Sakurai to do something like that? It's not a bad thing, it's just...weird.

Wat

 

[KHlover]

I like this, I like this a lot.

God dammit batty, find a mod to bet against already. Why don't you have your "Troubled Bet" tag yet???

Edit: wat indeed

 

[Boss Doggie]

What's Sakurai's comment?

 

[zroid]

 

[lolpho]

Very odd feature. Everyone is a robot confirmed.

 

[Dimitri LH]

Not HUD/UI would be cool I guess. Shit got annoying sometimes on big stages.

EDIT: Oh its a indicator? Huh...interesting. Guess this will help new players know when to play safe. But it also says to the opponent when to go all out.

So good.

It's all of these little things that make me so dang hyped!

 

[Tripon]

The pix of the day is weird.

 

[Shun]

Very moist.

 

[Jagsrock]

Sheik and yoshi gettin steamy?

 

[Loco4Coco]

Luffy's Gear Second much?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wat

Sakurai is being lewd again.

 

[theprodigy]

You would find that immediately.

 

[OricWindstar]

Very cool!

 

[EulaCapra]

Return to the Pits of the Pyrosphere I see. It's like we never left.

 

[Kriken]

Miiverse is right on schedule with this

 

[Hours Left]

Heh, I think it's cool.

 

[Richie]

The update almost seems like Sakurai waited to see the Ridley GIF of the Day to build on the burning premise.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I hope "[player] is free on a steam sale" becomes standard Smash tournament commentary from here on out

 

[KHlover]

Luffy confirmed!

 

[voltronbadA]

Really perplexed by this addition. Seems kind of unnecessary and possibly distracting depending on how opaque the steam is

 

[Boss Doggie]

Sakurai reads GAF am confirmed

 

[Brainfreeze]

Probably included for 3DS since percents will be on the bottom screen.

 

[Dimitri LH]

Pic of the day is the Lizard everyone was expecting for a long time on the Metroid stage.

Spoiler

we were expecting Yoshi for a while months ago

 

[Loco4Coco]

Wonder how steamed they look like at 999% damage.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Is it sad that I didn't notice the steam before?

God dammit batty, find a mod to bet against already. Why don't you have your "Troubled Bet" tag yet???

Edit: wat indeed

Pssh. I think if I avatar bet against a mod and won, i'd be banned. XD

Spoiler

Yes, i'm afraid.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Pic of the day. Characters that have heavy damage slowly start to emit steam. When your opponent starts to get nice and smoky, give 'em a solid attack!

I assume this change stemmed out of the cut Brawl feature of chanters showing physical damage after a certain amount of damage (example: Meta Knight's mask cracking). Not really fond of this change, but not enough to throw a hissy fit over it.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Also Shiek confirmed for not mirrored pose.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Gonna take ZSS, Peach, Rosalina and WFT to high percents and take some pics.

 

[MrSaturn99]

well that's kind of uh

weird

 

[lazybones18]

Wow, Sheik has some steamy buns

 

[Berordn]

Really perplexed by this addition. Seems kind of unnecessary and possibly distracting depending on how opaque the steam is

Probably not very distracting, going by the image.

It's unnecessary, but so is stuff like all the flashy effects from standard attacks and colored trails from launching characters.

 

[SenorArdilla]

So characters with high damage percentage start to steam up.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Next stop Confirmation of Steamy Snake for Solid Snake I guess...

 

[RagnarokX]

Avatar for whoever wants it:

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Also Shiek confirmed for not mirrored pose.

Nice catch. I wonder why, though; Sheik doesn't have a sword or anything that would make mirroring difficult.

 

[Tomohawk]

i think its a great addition but characters showing damage would be cooler.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Nice catch. I wonder why, though; Sheik doesn't have a sword or anything that would make mirroring difficult.

I chalk it up to Zelda games not really having mirrored sprites save for 2.

 

[PreyingShark]

It does. Be prepared to fight ranked matches any time and anywhere!

Just to be clear, there's no visible ranking for online multiplayer. This was confirmed in the Direct. The Global Smash Power thing is for, like, scores you get in single player and shit. There's internal stats that will be used for matchmaking, however, so after you do a bunch of matches you'll start being paired with people who are close to your skill level so you have good matches instead of getting JV5-stocked*.

That said, if any of you play at McDonald's and I wind up playing your laggy, jittery ass then I am going to nuke your house. There are good public APs out there but McDonald's usually isn't one of them.

*This is actually fairly rare but it happened to me once and it made me want to never touch Dr. Mario ever again.

 

[Berordn]

Nice catch. I wonder why, though; Sheik doesn't have a sword or anything that would make mirroring difficult.

Shiek also doesn't have an iconic pose and comes from a 3D game with a design suited to be viewed from all angles.

 

[SenorArdilla]

So, is the steam sweat or is it something else?
