I can't decide which one I want for myself.

I would pick the first one!

Someone else is free to have the close up pic.

WOAH WOAH WOAH

ACTUAL IMPORTANT NEWS TIME

D1 was talking on his stream about the Wii U version at PAX. He says he was using Pikachu and trying to space forward airs. If you don't know what I'm talking about, lets say Pikachu is facing left. You space a fair by jumping, hitting left on the c stick, then holding right on the analog stick. This allows the character to weave back, usually to get out of your opponent's range.

Anyways, he tried this with the c stick, and Pikachu barely weaved back. Then he tried it again with just the A button and analog stick... and apparently Pikachu had WAY more aerial control. That is REALLY weird. Basically, the game is acting differently depending on your method of input, even though you're doing the same action. That's really strange. Kinda sounds like a glitch, honestly.

It's 15:00 into this video.

Theoretically, this could lead to more movement options for the player, right?

 

[CriterionDog]

*Jumps in Submarine*

Final Smash fixed!

Oh god. I really hope Falco gets a new final smash. One that's about as powerful as his previous landmaster would be cool. Just something different would be cool!
Maybe we can get a first person cockpit view of an Arwing and aim the reticle at opponents. Like Snake's FS, but first person.

 

[KHlover]

Since I'm a casual player, does anybody have any good/exciting competitive matches worth watching?

Just search for "Axe vs" on youtube. His matches are really entertaining to watch since his Pikachu just flies all over the place. He can do some really cool shit *-*

I'd choose the top on personally, but that's because I prefer more full faced avatars. Also the fingers are cut off, which are the only reason to have the full bodies version.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Since the PotD is going to be late, I guess that they're also putting up music. I wonder what Sakurai's going to choose...

 

[A Link to the Past]

I don't get very excited about tourney matches honestly, but the AmsA Mew2King thing blew my danged mind.

Also, just imagine how cool all those FSes would be.

Turn the stage into snow! Icy winds limit the opponents, and a ground-based opponent like Little Mac is left helpless!
Heal your unit!
Give your units a speed boost (also wouldn't it be cool if the Mech's recovery was getting launched into the air by a captured city)!
Fog of War (only for 3DS version though!)

 

[Boss Doggie]

Here. Somebody else can make it avatar size.

that's not Shulk, that's Char Quattro Bajeena.

 

[Benzychenz]

Oh gosh you're all making me want to swap to the close up one now :lol

So the game is counting C-Sticking in the air and control stick + A differently? That sounds strange.

 

[Mariolee]

For Falco's new Final Smash, I hope he details how canonically Einstein fits in the Star Fox universe considering that the chronological history of Star Fox presumably does not match up with ours considering they have made no reference to Earth or a time that was inhabited by anthropological space faring animals aside from the one "Einstein" reference in Star Fox 64.

 

[Pikma]

SUCKAAAS

 

[SuperSah]

Better be music.

Anything is better than Try, Try Again.

 

[Speedwagon]

 

[TheGreatLugia]

I can't decide which one I want for myself.

Is the top one taken?

EDIT: Never mind.

 

[Neiteio]

One of the players' Ftilt (looks like a punch, yeah) stuffed the other player's Up B clean like twice in a row (prolly could have gotten three if he wanted) before it auto-attached to the ledge. I wonder if the player knew about it, or if he discovered and exploited it on the fly? Super impressive, either way.

This is what I'm talking about

Yep, that's what I'm talking about. Good stuff.

 

[Benzychenz]

SUCKAAAS

:3

 

[SkullHydra]

Come on Sakurai, I need sleep!

Spoiler

Cater to my exact needs with these PotDs.

 

[KHlover]

Control-Stick+A is a harder input than C-Stick. Skill ceiling increased

 

[Mysterious]

NOOOOOO

Also, Game and Watch is missing here. So clearly that All-Stars photo before (that was missing Zero Suit Samus, Palutena and Pit) doesn't deconfirm Ridley!!!!!!!!

YEEEEESSSSS

 

[OmegaSmash]

All Star Mode with the lock...

 

[J@hranimo]

Since the PotD is going to be late, I guess that they're also putting up music. I wonder what Sakurai's going to choose...

Sonic. Music.

Or Starfox or the Pilotwings song that plays on the stage from the demo.

 

[Phil S.]

All Shulk needs to do is to hit his fist against the jukebox at Arnold's and go "Ayyyyyy!"

 

[SenorArdilla]

Oh shit! All-Star Mode.

 

[johnbone]

Let the complaints commence!

 

[SkullHydra]

Not too bad.

 

[Loco4Coco]

The Lock will be a playable character.

 

[Hours Left]

This PotD comment better be hinty, if all we're getting is the lock screen.

 

[daripad]

There will be blood with this update

 

[WonderRade]

just like the one posted in the leak......

 

[Jawmuncher]

Dat Lock though.
We didn't get the answers we wet looking for tonight.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

The internet is a horrible place

I still don't get how even without the Sal leak Shulk was such an outlandish possiblity. Monolith Soft is a major 1st party for Nintendo which (for admittedly obvious reasons) had zero presence in Smash so far, often helped out with grunt work on major games like Skyward Sword, Xenoblade was a critical darling, a surprise success in the west after a big fan-campaign and Sakurai had made it clear long ago he was a big fan of both the game and the developers.

Shulk wasn't guaranteed, but I felt pretty comfortable about his chances.

EDIT: god damn it sakurai you devilish bastard

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

Does Sakurai realize what he potentially just did?

 

[J@hranimo]

OH SHIT

All-Star Mode pic....this is the demon we all have to face sooner or later before release. Oh god. *Patiently waits for the miiverse comment*

 

[random25]

So that's all-star mode...I wonder how the opponents will be selected per stage this time (kinda looks arranged but I feel there's something different).

 

[SkullHydra]

Does Sakurai realize what he potentially just did?

What did he potentially do?

 

[SuperSah]

Yup, All-Stars with the lock.

Wonder what he has to say, also, music pls

 

[Mariolee]

FUCKING ALL STAR MODE.

Actually would be more interested in this sans the leak.

Let the complaints commence!

 

[Dimitri LH]

Yup

http://www.gonintendo.com/s/236371-rumor-nintendo-direct-announcement-coming-tomorrow

ah go nintendo, I dont find them that reliable.

 

[autobzooty]

Does Sakurai realize what he potentially just did?

I know I can't believe it. Starfy deconfirmed.

 

[KHlover]

Is that Battlefield floating in the background? Sakurai you sneaky bastard lol

 

[Mysterious]

Since Game & Watch is missing, it doesn't deconfirm Ridley.

 

[OmegaSmash]

If All Star is playable without all the unlocked characters, we might have riots everywhere.

 

[Killadji]

Does Sakurai realize what he potentially just did?

Deconfirm Ridley once and for all ?

I agree. Even before that list or even with it. Shulk never seemed like a stretch to me. That was without even considering the other aspects you mentioned.

 

[Greenzxy]

just like the one posted in the leak......

That doesn't mean anything!

 

[oreomunsta]

What is the significance of the lock?

 

[WonderRade]

it seems to be based on how old they are AKA when their games were relased however then G&W should be on there somewhere
