Pic of the day. Here's a new mini-game that's quite a bit different from Coin Launcher in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It's called Trophy Rush! The details…will be kept secret for now.
Wasn't there something similar - some sort of collect-the-trophies mode - in Melee (or Brawl?) It's been so long since I've done anything besides plain old Vs mode that I can barely remember what other modes each game had. I have no memory whatsoever of Coin Launcher.
niice now this is something I can get behind. I love unlocking new trophies.

did you play kid icarus: uprising? He's Pit Two, aka Pitoo. They call him that in the game
Wow...this 3DS version is really packed!

Hopefully the name represents the mode well; I know people that didn't like collecting trophies, so a mode that may allow them to get them in a quicker/more interactive manner might entice them to go for them.

Melee was more or less just gambling. Spend up to 20 coins to increase your odds at getting a new trophy. The more trophies you have, the smaller the odds.
Eh. He didn't actually include other Kirby characters in Melee and 64 partially because he didn't want to favor what he worked on. I don't feel adding Dedede or Meta Knight in Brawl was unnecessary either. As for Smash 4, Smash Run being like City Trial doesn't seem too self indulgent, since it is adapting a mode a lot of people like into something new. The Kid Icarus Uprising love seems a bit odd, but at the same time, it, it's arguably the biggest game he's made since the Smash Bros. series started, and the game was probably designed with the mentality that a lot of this stuff could end up in a new Smash Bros. So I don't really think he is all that biased.
They call him Pitoo in the English version of the game, as well. It's a play on "Pit, too" or "Pit, two." Hades riffs on it further by calling him "Pitooey" (a play on the sound of a sneeze).
Having SNL writers handle the English script was a brilliant move for Uprising.

Pit calls him Pitoo aka Pit Two in Uprising, and yes it's stupid when people use it for him. Just call him Dark Pit damn it.
In Melee, there is a vending machine of sorts where you bet certain number of coins to get unique trophies. That is aside from the classic mode where there are bonus stages to earn trophies, and adventure mode where you can pick them up at random spots.
Some people will always think Sakurai is obligated to do this.
Oh, that's a good idea for a pic
Like they could have her ass facing toward the screen
Samurai, I hope you're taking notes

I definitely remember the gumball machine thing, but I could've sword there was a separate trophy minigame. I must be thinking of the bonus stages in classic mode.

Event Matches.
I think the problem was that people were going between small screen 3DS games and big screen console games which will make the smallness of the 3DS obvious. As someone who has put many hours into the 3DS (especially New Leaf) I know that if one basically focuses just on it then the screen size isn't an issue as you basically become used to it and absorbed all the same. I mean you do play handhelds much closer to your face than TVs and in some ways due to the difference in distances that you view them the handheld screen takes up almost the same proportion of your vision as the TV (if you sit a sensible distance from it). However at E3 you stand way to close to big screens and thus this effect is destroyed.
I stand corrected.
Still sounds stupid. "Pitoo".
Ceaseless negativity.
I actually liked the coin launcher, but I can see why it's nice for them to replace it.

Coin Launcher was awful because you spent so many coins on nothing. Just shooting objects in the hopes of getting three trophies (that weren't even rare), and shooting dozens of missiles because you have to do that or lose more coins!
At least with the slot machine, building up a shitload of coins through playing guaranteed you a new trophy or a good shot at one. Build up hundreds of coins in Brawl, and you spend 15 minutes getting three copies of Midna and Luigi's Mansion.

Pit and Palutena call him that in the english version. He calls himself Dark Pit.

Did you play uprising?

New game mode to earn trophies? Reminds me of Safari Zone. Pay to enter then take as much as you can until time runs out.

"Pitoo" is an intentionally annoying monicker given to the character by Pit and Palutena. It's not supposed to sound cool, haha.
I just want it to be fast. Like you said, 15 minutes of coin shooting was painful. I eventually stopped because I just don't care that much. I don't care if I get good stuff or not, but let me burn through the slots/coins quickly.
Here's a tiny snip of trophy rush gameplay if you're interested

Hm, yeah I dunno. It's interesting to wonder how deep the differences go between the versions...

Yep. The coin launcher felt very lame cause everytime trophies showed up I was just like "oh I got that already".
Not much. I didn't like the controls.
Ooo, Safari Zone would be an awesome Pokémon stage
Put it on the DLC list along with Bowser's Castle!
Speedwagon
Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
I believe Palutena nicknames him that in Chapter 6. I don't think it's the Japanese name. Also it's spelled 'Pittoo' in-game.
Niiice, new trophy Get method!
Back in the days where I wrote down Smash ideas, I fantasized about a new minigame in the vein of Break the Targets and Board the Platforms, that involved hunting down trophies with stages tailored specifically to each character. Not only that, the obtainable trophies would have something to do with the character in question. Imagine that section in the Subspace where you're hunting down every Brawler's trophy, only in more compact stages fit to each character's abilities. For example, Zelda's stage would have her hunting down trophies of Tetra, the Phantom, etc; Marth would be fighting his way for trophies of Elice, Caeda, and so on.
...But then it wouldn't have had much replay value, hah! Excited to hear more about this mode.

Certainly felt like I was getting more new trophies in melee.
But I liked the coin launcher as a mini-game despite the crappy gains.

People hate the coin launcher? wut? that was amazing, it was a super addicting minigame
ive played literally hours of it.

I'd rather have the Coin Launcher than a mode that becomes utterly dead in like two weeks' time.
The odds seemed much worse given how random it was at times. Lottery was a almost always guaranteed thing iirc.

Can we get a compilation of all the front-screen KOs shown so far? These are simply hilarious.

Can jump out of shields.

Air down remains 33% from Brawl but can now potentially combo into Up air.

He traded in a headbutt for a goddamn Flash Kick.
3 games and he finally looks like he's going to be great.
I might start crying.
That new up-smash better anti-air as good as a Flash Kick, too. Yoshi's Brawl up-smash was one of his best moves because it was a fantastic anti-air, so if this nerfs his anti-airing capabilities I'm gonna be disappointed.

It's like Bayonetta's target shooter between levels. Really fun, and a nice change of pace, for the first few hours. Then you want to skip it.
Dark Pit's Japanese name is Kuroi Pitto (Black Pit). His nickname in the japanese version is Kuropi.
Pitoo was just some dumb nickname Palutena came up with. (Pit two? Get it? Pitoo?)
It would have been cool if it was more varied and guaranteed you new trophies if you did something.

I never managed to get them all in Brawl. Some just never showed up, and even then if they did there was a good chance to miss them seeing the rare trophies spawn with a shit ton of the other objects.
