Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 12: Gwah, hah. Welcome to the Bowser's game.

I don't think it will be OP, you have to hold it up and everyone will be rushing to it anyway, will make it tricky to get it and not be hit.
 
Well it sounds fun. Guessing it will take around 3-5 seconds for it to fully take effect or else it wouldn't be much of a fight for it. It's at least longer than a second based on the Pacman trailer
 
Here's what's weird about an item like that. It only gives you the score bonus if you hold it long enough. But you're likely to only be able to hold it for that length when your opponent is KO'ed and knocked off the stage. So the S-flag gives the player who already did a winning move an even bigger advantage.

I felt the same way about the Dragoon. You would KO your opponent and be rewarded with all the Dragoon pieces falling in your lap.
 
GARBAGE update about a GARBAGE item for a GARBAGE game.

YOU HAVE 23 MORE OF THESE SAKURAI MAKE 'EM COUNT

It sounds like you have to hold it for a noteable amount of time before you get the bonus. It's not like a Maxim Tomato which is instant. Maybe the half life of this thing is very short so you have to get it quickly or it will disappear.
 
I think that's a wonderful item. And from the trailers shown with this item, people are aimlessly holding it up and frozen in place, meaning they're vulnerable to getting hit at any time. I doubt it's going to be a free item, there has to be some catch to it, much like the Home Run bat now.
 
And not even a mention of Meta Knight. Never change, Sakurai. :P

But damn, it's crazy that the S Flag is basically a 1-Up in Stock matches. I'm shocked that they didn't just, you know, go with a 1-Up Mushroom for that... but I digress. That's neat!

I can see even a lot of item users turning this one off, though, for the same reason that they turn off recoveries. I might be among them... not sure yet. Usually I play with all items except recoveries and the Starman.

Well, I guess it was too much to hope for that we'd get two veterans in one week. I still fully expect and assume we'll be getting Ganondorf for Thursday's pic!
 
So an item where you get an extra stock or point if you hold still long enough but it's already OP because... Sounds like you still gotta earn it.

Pic of the day. If you manage to raise this Special Flag for long enough, an additional KO count will be added to your score in a time match, or you'll get an extra stock for a stock match. When this appears on the stage, the fight for the flag becomes a fierce battle of tactics, which makes things pretty interesting.
Broken.

this will change EVERYTHING
 
1-Up Mushroom would actually be broken, instant pickup times

Yeah. I like this implementation waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more. :lol

At the same time, if anyone though assembling Dragoon or sniping Smash Balls was heated... There will be blood in the streets for this one. :lol :lol :lol

Edit: Yay melodrama!
 
Oh! Let's not forget how Sakurai handled Mega Man and Pac-Man. Classic Mega Man looks extremely faithful and his final smash is a joy to watch. Pac-Man having his Classic look is seriously impressive considering how much Bamco is pushing for the new design.
 
and on that note I wish we could adjust item spawn rates more than None/Low/Medium/High (seriously what happened to Very Low/Very High in Brawl?)
 
This sounds like it would be amazingly hilarious in stock matches. I can just imagine my and my friend's collective faces going, "Oh SHIT," when it appears.
