Isn't it strange how in the Ganondorf image that, despite being a more up-to-date build, we're still seeing his back facing the screen when he's facing left? I thought we were supposed to see the front of the characters at all times or something -- unless there's some strange exceptions to this change?
Mirroring only applies to some characters, I think.
 
Then would that lead to a Wolf Alt on Fox?
Those character played differently though. People would take it over nothing.
But there would be plenty of pissed players.

Watch the custom specials be their specials and their standard attacks thrown out the window.
 
Lucas is still in, Lucas is still in, Lucas is still in.... :'(


The fact that Ness isn't in the starting roster pretty much confirms Lucas isn't in, right?

Well, both Marth and Roy were both unlocks in Melee, but for some reason I don't see a situation of "both reps of one franchise are both unlocks" happening again. :(
 
Where did the Ice Climbers love came from? No one was talking about him and then suddenly I'LL BE PISSED IF THEY AINT IN, I WONT BUY THE GAME ETC.

I've been an Ice climbers proponent since before brawl came out. Admittedly not sold on them at melee launch, but they grew on me. I suck at them, but I love them.

Also, unless gamexplain are the only ones at the nintendo media thing... no one on twitter is talking about it... :/ Must be NDA stuff :(

Sakurai : Oops!
well well, wonder if sakurai just gave up lol
 
Mirroring only applies to some characters, I think.

Only certain characters always face forward. If the character holds a weapon or wears a cape they do not mirror.

Honestly, only a small amount of fighters have shown to mirror. They are the exception.

Asymmetrical characters seem to be the ones that don't always face the camera. Link doesn't, for example. Neither does little mac, because which arm he punches with actually matters (thanks to neorice for noticing).

I'd guess ganondorf is the same since he retains his ganon-punch.

Well... that's a pretty silly change, honestly. If you're going to do something like that, it should be consistent and globally..... (or don't do it at all)

Whatever, I guess. :\

The mirroring makes mario punch with a different hand depending on which way he's facing.

I do not want link switching hands for his sword/shield because then he's not left handed.

That would actually be quite the idea there.
Would make sense as to why they were cut in a way.
Just would be a shame for players who wanted to use those guys online.
But it would be better than nothing for everything else.

The point is that certain characters like Mario have nothing on their backs to look at. It obscures their features and isn't photogenic to have their back to you. Characters with capes or weapons are are designed to be viewed from all angles.
 
Has it been confirmed that Gaur Plains is the next Rumble Falls yet? Sure looked like it from the trailer

I prefer the angle of next Rainbow Cruise since it looks to scroll all around as opposed to just vertically, that and Rainbow Cruise is actually quite playable unlike Rumble Falls.
In any case I can't imagine Gaur Plains suffering from speed up, killer spikes alongside randomly scattered and pointless platforming gimmicks, good grief Rumble Falls was a dire stage.
 
So who is everybody playing first when you get the game? Assuming the CSS on the japanese eshop page is the starting roster, I definitely plan on trying out shulk right away since I'd like to try maining him (probably will still play my old main toon link a lot, even if I really like Shulk though)

Well since one of my boys WEEGEE is on the starting roster I'll probably start with him to get a true feel of the game.

Then I'll immediately jump to Palutena. Got get ready for that Super Bash Sisters anyway!

It's only done for the characters that you don't normally see from different angles in their own games (and Greninja, for some reason). Kirby, Mario, Luigi, etc always face the same angles in their 2D games no matter which way they're going and the Smash reflects that now. Link, Shulk, and the majority of the cast originate from games where they're usually viewed from most angles.

Since it's not like they're actually mirrored in-engine and built from the ground up animations and all, it's actually a lot more work than just showing the back side of characters.

If they're holding any weapon or they got anything where handedness is important (like boxing) then they won't be mirrored.

I'm guessing, if anything, his sword taunt is why he's not mirrored lol.
 
Since were talking Mother.

I can skip the NES game and be good with just the SNES and GBA right?

For the most part you'd be fine, yeah. I'd still recommend playing it though, particularly the GBA retranslation (with the Easy Ring equipped). I don't think the game is as good as it's followups but it's still pretty great.
 
That's the general consensus.

Good was reading back a bit and was not feeling I could tackle Mother1. From what I had read about it.

I'll keep it on the list. I might go 2 then 3 then 1.
I never have a issue with taking a odd order like that when I play games.
 
Hey all! To save you guys the trouble of continuing to wait and watch, I just found out the media event is under a full and very strict embargo... so obviously I'm not going to be able to say anything more than that, regardless of what I see or play. :(

Really sorry, but I know most of you guys understand/know how it goes.

Thanks anyway!

I'm not bitter but I'd guess it's because they were fairly unique character(s) that people weren't expecting to see gone this time around. Gamers don't like change.

That both excites and disappoints me. At least you'll probably get some cool inside info! Enjoy!

PM me if you see Lucas. The thought of him gone keeps me up at night :'(

Are we allowed to know when the embargo will be lifted?

We can't have them lawyers coming for you.

Thanks for this update
 
If it's under emargo we might as start speculating just how much he's getting to see.
My guess is some unannounced characters along with a new build of the WiiU version.

What's the point of doing something like this? Why invite the press and tell them not to publish their experience? I know there is some kind of marketing explanation and this event must serve as some sort of benefit to Nintendo but I would love it explained to me. It's not logical like movies.

welp, there you go. I figured we wouldn't be privy to anything today from this event. Whatever is being played there better be public knowledge next week or something.

Good to know, thanks for giving us the heads up. You're a real stand up dude. Keep the secrets, don't get in trouble.

Embargo lets us know there's likely new info :)

Maybe because it has new, unrevealed info, and they want the press to play it so they can start writing up impressions, then, once the info is made public, the press have the write-ups ready to publish.

Could also be that since it's appointment, they want to give all press a fair chance to write-up and publish their articles at the same time. If the people w/ early appts spill the beans, the later appts are pointless.

They can share, just not yet. They probably just did it now because it's at a big event that most of the big press people will already visit, so they can get a better turn out than if they held it on a random day

Ah it's cool. I expected that, thanks for letting us know though :)

It must be good stuff.

How much time of an embargo? 1 week?
