SO when will we get that ND announcement (;

Definitely in a week or two.

 

[secretanchitman]

I'm loving that Sakurai is posting POTD around midnight once again - hated waiting until 1AM.

 

[Kyzon]

Some of Mega Man's customs moves? Awesome

XD

Also, one month until release in Nihon :3

*André from GameXplain wakes up from a drunken stupor in a tavern in Germany*

*answers phone"

André: "H-hello?"

Phone: "Guten tag, dis iz the German branch of your BANK. Someone charged $10,000 to your account. Izzit you?"

André: "Ten thousand!! Where was the purchase?!"

Phone: "...a sub shop."

André: "Was zur Hölle?!"

[IntelliHeath]

Oh yeah, what happened to tony posting the PotD first? He kind of disappeared after stopping...

He said that he can't do that anymore because he's busy.

 

[foxuzamaki]

wow Batty that's a lot

I have 4000+

 

[Sponge]

Yep. I barely even have time to check SmashGAF now because of late shifts. I still miss waiting for the new Ridley GIFs alongside the PoTD.

 

[Lunar15]

This makes me interested in a lot of special moves.

Since we've seen Ike's eruption in both red and blue, I wonder if the blue is actually one of his custom moves instead of a new default color.

 

[Forkball]

Real talk: I will probably never use custom moves outside of fiddling around with them for ten minutes and therefore all PotDs about them are a waste A WASTE.

 

[Neiteio]

Seriously, someone tell me what's up with that duck, it's SO COOL

The duck should be playable, not Mega Man

Jeez, sometimes when you post it seems to be all "bah humbug! I don't particularly care for this!" and stuff.

This makes me interested in a lot of special moves.

Nah I think that his flames were just accurately changed to blue from red. Although, custom moves for Ike could get pretty ridiculous with all of his power O_O

 

[Kriken]

Huh? But it is 1 AM...

There's a cheat code in Shovel Knight that replaces both Shovel and Knight with Butt.

Really? Need to check this out.

Edit: lol, gotta do a 3rd playthrough as Butt Butt now.

Looks like I'll be joining you

I agree

Awesome update.

Are you actually interested in this game at all? You don't seem to gel with it.

only 4000? weak

I agree

Do tell. What exactly did ROB do to you lol.

 

[foxuzamaki]

So cool

ooo

 

[Gilbals]

Let it be known that this is the first and last time that anyone gets hype over Plant Man.

can't tell if serious

Spoiler

It sounds like a joke, but considering the source...

 

[Growlie19]

Nice pic! Makes you wonder what other powers Mega Man's custom moves will be....

 

[Forkball]

Who is seriously going to use custom moves? I mean it is an interesting idea... but we cannot use them online with anyone. Also if you use them with friends they will just say "dude just use the regular Mega Man, this isn't fair." Some of these moves have to be completely broken considering the amount of effort it would take to balance all of these wouldn't be worth it.

 

[Professor Beef]

I had a roommate who obsessed over ROB.

 

[Boss Doggie]

BEAT PLANE!

I remember when you were amazing in MvC1 but was mega-nerfed in MvC2

 

[random25]

So cool

Woah! Beat! <3

 

[WiiRevolution1]

I imagine the tricky part is how, in the event they unveiled Simon Belmont, two-thirds of the room would stand up and say, "That's not Simon Belmont," no matter which version of Simon they showed.

They should just have the NES sprite. No updated model at all, just the sprite and its moves.

don't even go there

...uh...I'm already speculating about Smash 5 so sorry.


Wants:
Medusa
Tiki/Nowi (Would love playable transforming dragon.)
Anna (FE)
The uh...forgot her name, but the big bird enemy from Kirby. Dyna-Blade? Always thought that would be cool. Sakurai bias can make it happen!
Inklings
Captain Toad
Layton
Very unlikely: Shovel Knight

And most importantly: Pheonix Wright! Please...

Kinda off topic, and a stupid question since I know the answer, but does whatever fighting game Wright is in have button combos? I can't wrap my head around how to do button combos in SF4, so I assume I'd never be able to play that game.

 

[Myn]

Wait, so Mega Man's custom moves are completely different robot masters? Someone fill me in. That'd be so awesome if that was the case.

 

[Neiteio]

I agree

Oh neat, you agree with me for once!

EDIT: wait, fuck you, lol

I am offline and online. It's going to be entertaining trying out all the customizations with all the characters.

I will, especially since Palutena has the boring specials as default, and it make some of the clones stand out more

People who like to have fun and don't care if they're perfectly balanced will use them. Besides, it's a big assumption that "some of these moves have to be completely broken."

 

[SovanJedi]

These custom movesets terrify me from a game designer's perspective. In a way, whatever the final roster count ends up being, you have basically tripled that number in terms of unique moves. It must be a nightmare to design and QA.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Wait, so Mega Man's custom moves are completely different robot masters? Someone fill me in. That'd be so awesome if that was the case.

A lot of the Robot Masters basically have similar weapons, such as there's multiple "Barrier Weapons" like the Leaf Shield, Plant Shield, even a Skull Shield.

So yeah, I imagine that's how things will go down.

Also smh at people not knowing the Robot Masters. :/

 

[Kriken]

pfft, stay in the superior timezone

.

Also, who the hell is going to say "Pick only vanilla character" All the moves are in the game, learn the matchups with any combinations if you're super cereal about the matches

 

[Loco4Coco]

Custom moves is the only way to get Ganondorf to fight with swords though.

 

[Dimitri LH]

For those like me who dont know what plant mans shield works.

Im guessing its just a better leaf shield?

 

[Benzychenz]

He posted it at 3pm in the Best Time Zone™ though.

Watch his custom moves be identical to Falcon's.

 

[Masked Man]

Wow! I was busy with work, Lady Gaga, and immigration (all separate incidents) that I haven't had time to post, but I missed a lot!

Cool, Dragon types on the Elite Four stage!

That's cool! I wonder which other Pokemon will make cameo appearances in the Elite Four stage.

Europe is getting a 3DS XL Smash bundle.

NNNNFFFFFFFF WANT. Too bad I already have my Theatrhythm: Curtain Call 3DS...

Spoiler

At least it's signed, though!

So Ness and Lucas will be announced alongside a new Mother/Earthbound game..right?

We can only hope!

So cool

Looks awesome! I wonder what other custom moves Mega Man will have? Sakurai alludes to him borrowing moves from other boss characters in the series.

Me.

It'll be fun screwing around with them for a while.

 

[random25]

I'll predict that the 3rd custom moveset of the leaf shield variation is the Star Shield from Star Man (MM5). Rush Jet adaptor from MM6 would be a cool 3rd variation of his recovery move. Wonder if Beat will also attack when not in use as a recovery?

 

[Anth0ny]

I wonder when people will start getting their hands on the full game

Brawl started leaking 3 days before launch, it seems

My friends are totally the sort to try and experiment all they can though.

I for one cannot wait to use Devilish Mario and his evil F.L.U.D.D. of scalding water!

 

[Loco4Coco]

You're right.
