It seems weird to me that Lightweight would be a normal dash and therefore faster than Sonic and it looks like she was in the middle of a dash before Lightweight was used. Granted, I haven't played Smash in a while. Also, all of her specials are based off Uprising powers so does Charged Staff Shot fit?

I thought about this today as well. I took another look at the trailer and counted all the powers she said

She said twelve:
Heavenly Light
Exploding Flame
Warp
Rocket Jump
Reflect
Auto Reticle
Jump Glide
Counter
Super speed
Angelic Missile
Celestial Fireworks
Lightweight

So I'm guessing these will be all of her possible customizable moves.

The only thing I'm unsure of is that is her regular "running" speed as fast as Sonic or not.

Alt costumes will only disappoint me. In Brawl only Wario had one and that bummed me out. Here I think more will have them but not many. Like Mii's, Wii Fit and Villager. Proto Man would be the sickest alt ever.

 

[Ryce]

The only thing I'm unsure of is that is her regular "running" speed as fast as Sonic or not.

Lightweight is definitely just a down special move option. Like in Uprising, her movement speed will probably increase for five seconds or so at the expense of taking a bit more damage from attacks.

So today I had to work on the day of the 2nd Smash-Fest . I got there 20 minutes late, and reached it just as they walked off with everything.

Some events I’d like to see…

Competitive Eating
Characters - Pac-Man vs. Kirby vs. Yoshi vs. Wario
Stage - maybe Yoshi’s stage (something colorful)

Food is constantly spawning, and whoever eats the most within the time limit wins. Isabelle’s Assist Trophy is also here to throw fruit, and Munchlax walks around stealing food.

How can you make this event and not include Dedede? His one act of villainy was stealing all of the food in Dreamland and he regularly challenges Kirby to eating contests (Gourmet Race). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93VCbgJyKDU

Imagine if there were up to three for every character and they were all awesome

Dr. Mario, Sunshine shirt Mario,
Mr. L
Proto Man
Boshi
Shadow Queen
Pink tracksuit Lil Mac
Fusion Suit Samus
Mecha Sonic
Skyloft Link
Lucina

All the other ones everyone would ever want. Imagine

[GotchaForce]

I've seen the Mega Man at the tournament and Luigi's new FS's.

Any other hype, cool videos out there?

 

[ErrorMacro]

It's actually how heated the discussion is that made me avoid it. The bans are the aftermath. :/

Anyways, I'm more interested in the changes to veterans and mechanics than newcomers this time around lol.

Also, my posts aren't meant to be "be all end all", it is to spur discussion and is a community effort.

Lots of people have posted things already and covered things individually and they were great posts, but the thread is moving too fast and a bunch of different things are being talked about. Maybe dissect things in the next thread where it will probably slower.

As for Palutena (her gameplay portion of the trailer I feel is poorly made) made a nice image with what he thinks the specials are. Edit: seems like people already mentioned that lol.

I rewatched her introduction video today, and I felt the same thing. It's weird, because the gameplay portion of both Mii Fighter and Pac Man video looked pretty good. Of course, the Mii Fighter video was helped for having the explanation video by Sakurai later.

I think, the main problem with Palutena, is that the video focused on her B moves, so we can't really have a clear idea of how she plays. The huge variety in B moves also doesn't help in that regard.

 

[Shadow Hog]

I wonder when Shulk will be shown. :3

Not soon enough for the ravenous fanbase that is the Super Smash Bros. community.

Or at least not soon enough for me.

Spoiler

I can't wait for the "But Sheik is already in the game!" Miiverse posts

 

[SenorArdilla]

Maybe all the cut characters will be unlockable or DLC.

 

[Neiteio]

Coincidence?

Hey, if you are who I think you are (the "Assist Me" fellow), I just wanted to say I love your work, and I'm hoping you'll upload a video with your thoughts on the newcomers in Smash Bros. (Mii Fighters, Palutena, Pac-Man). I remember loving your Little Mac video.

 

[IntelliHeath]

If you are talking about cut characters of SSB4, then I'm hoping to see those characters for DLC.

 

[Gleethor]

Have we seen any new taunts for veterans or are they all copypasta from Brawl?

Timber!
Characters - Villager vs. Toon Link
Stage - Town & City

Plant a tree and defend it from Toon Link (whose AI aggressively goes after the tree) for a certain amount of time.

Wii Fit
Characters - Wii Fit Trainer (Female) vs. Wii Fit Trainer (Male)
Stage - Wii Fit Studio

Perform all of the exercises listed on-screen before the opponent does.

Chapter 20 Revisited
Characters - Pit vs. Palutena
Stage - Palutena’s Temple

You must defeat the Chaos Kin while keeping Palutena alive, but a single blow to Palutena K.O.s her.

Smash Bros. Circuit
Characters - Little Mac vs. Donkey Kong vs. Bowser vs. King Dedede
Stage - Boxing Ring (Smash Bros. version)

With only one stock, fill your meter up and perform Little Mac’s K.O. Uppercut on DK. After he’s killed, Bowser runs out; do the same to him, and then finally to Dedede to become the Smash Bros. champion.

Bro, these are great.

My brother and I have been playing some Melee lately (which, is actually a first, we always play Brawl and he was really young when Melee was a thing.) and we just recently played through a lot of the event matches to unlock Final Destination. We actually did it on Thursday. I'd love them to come back bladasd

 

[Ryce]

I haven't seen anything new.

So far, All taunts seem to be same from Brawl.

 

[TheChits]

It's perfect for DLC. That and Protoman.

I just pray that there is a Protoman alt for Megaman

Classic Sonic. Sakurai pls, I give all my monies.

 

[IntelliHeath]

welp, thats disappointing. Hope that changes.

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you even more. I forget to mention the fact that Sonic's side taunt changed from Too Slow to Sonic Speed.

 

[Troubled Bat]

If it becomes DLC.. Day fuckin' one! Hah. It's the best thing that could possibly happen.

Honestly, I already have the feeling with Protoman, but I guess that's just me with my hopes up so high.

Thanks a ton dude, I was waiting till I got hands on impressions for some. Can expect full breakdowns for Mega Man, Greninja and more.

 

[HK-47]

Why is this game even being made?

IntelliHeath, your goddamn avatar is working on me.. I absolutely hate it. These two weeks need to come by fast.

Thanks a ton dude, I was waiting till I got hands on impressions for some. Can expect full breakdowns for Mega Man, Greninja and more.

Oh sweet! I can't wait to watch those videos when they release! Off-Topic, but I await your part 2 video for Mortal Kombat X. ^^

Spoiler

That, and I can't wait to find you online in some fighting game to play against you.

Oh god, this gif. Haha.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Well, at least I know that we might have Fire Emblem Event where we have to pick a character to face against Ike, Marth and Chrom.

Lyn, Lucina, Roy, and Robin will all appear as AT and AT will be the only items there and they will be only AT

I wonder what types of events would Shulk be involved in.

That would be crazy.

 

[J@hranimo]

Sorry for doing this, but apparently Zero made a initial Smash Bros. Wii U Tier List based on his impressions this week. Can't say I disagree either tbh.

 

[El Sabroso]

Just arriving from Smashfest in McAllen TX, it sucks that they didn't have connected the 3DS version to play multiplayer Smash or SmashRun, but it was a good way to test some characters while in the line

As for the game on the WiiU version, it feels really good, tested Samus, Little Mac and Megaman in that version, Little Mac aerial moves are like Mario Jab weak except from the back-aerial, the neutral B is really good, you can set a shorter charge pressing B again when does not have full bar, and his smash attacks are really good to ko at 90ish percentage.

Samus new neutral air attack feels good, aerial front has a lot of landing lag now, movement feels like Brawl Samus but with stronger moves.

Megaman feels awesome to play with, he has really good moves.

I wish played more matches but was a long line to get into the game, couldn't test the game as i wished but had fun playing it

 

[Troubled Bat]

Edit: Somehow I double posted.

 

[PadWarrior]

Okay guys, so I got mayflash adapter and gamecube controller. I forgot how comfortable it is.Looks like I'll be buying $99 bundle now lol.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Still can't get over how much better Bowser is.

 

[Tan]

Yup, posted earlier. Nice to see I'm not crazy in thinking Little Mac is pretty bad.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Mii Swordfighter.

Bleh, Mii. D:

Shulk?

Link fits more closely to Fire Emblem then Shulk does. :x

 

[SenorArdilla]

Still can't get over how much better Bowser is.

Shield-busting, drop-kicking, dash to crouch-cancelling, King of Koopas.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Yup, posted earlier. Nice to see I'm not crazy in thinking Little Mac is pretty bad.

Well he is pretty hard to control and if you don't have a flat stage for him to dominate he is pretty worthless. He can be fast and powerful but you have to land a hit first, and of course he is garbage in the air.

 

[MrSaturn99]

So here's a special treat for you all: a video with clear-cut audio of the incredible Gerudo Valley arrangement and Greninja's (hilarious) voice delivery.

Spoiler

also, dat Kirby's Adventure sound effect for Waddle Doo's beam! <3

 

[Unbounded]

I really hope that customization makes the smash 4 meta more like the pokemon meta where it's continually evolving at a rapid pace.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

I found this in an old pre-release Brawl thread here:

INK DROP.
THIS is the big one folks

you konw that clip where yohsi just randomly falls over tehn rolls?

well, thats the Ink drop. discovered by inks with applications soon to follow. alright you know how we had some ideas for a version of wavedashing, well this is oen of them.

The ink drop opens up for a DASH pivot. you can dash past somebody and instantly turn around and grab them if you ink drop into a reverse grab. its beautiful. dashing pivots is BIG.

basically to ink drop you do a poorly timed dash dance, you dash far enough where your dash dance doesn't work, then you try to turn around, you should just fall over, thats an ink drop, but basically you can ink drop cancel with grabs and attack and what not to turn around and do moves, its quite seckzy

So how big did that get after release
