Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread XV: Kübler-Ross Edition

It always seemed silly to me to suggest Wolf and Lucas's specials could be rolled into Fox and Ness with custom moves. Their specials aren't why people liked them, and that aside Wolf had completely different animations on all his moves.

"They could just give Mario all of Dr. Mario's moves!" didn't stop them from adding Dr. Mario. DLC or bust!
 
I doubt he has any different sounds other than the announcer clips saying 'Alph' instead of 'Olimar'. Olimar doesn't speak or anything, it's just Pikmin sounds and a whistle.

I always thought it was weird Olimar didn't even have any grunts or anything. It'd be nice for just a couple moves.

Kinda sorry for posting this
Ew, he's stepping in it.

Yeah Metal Face is enjoyable (Much better than Xord was IMO)

Fun Fact: In the original Japanese Metal Face's name is "Black Face", it's probably a good thing that they changed that in the English translation
It kinda makes sense, admittedly, since you later meet other Faced Mechon who get named after the primary color of their metal (Xord being Bronze Face,
Face Nemesis being Silver Face, Yaldabaoth being Gold Face, and a Jade Face besides those three
). But, well, yeah, while it's kind of silly when they translated the other colors to the letter but not Metal Face (they all have metal faces, numbnuts), translating "Black Face" at face value... wouldn't have gone over well. At all. For obvious reasons. So I'm still glad they changed it.
 
On a different note, NeoGeoPocketColorZero seems to be a little quiet. Do you guys think we'll get anything more from him tonight?
Wanna hear what more he has to say about his Mewtwo/Ridley/Dixie/Impa/Mach Rider 'prediction'. What was up with him saying a NoA rep told him we didn't have the entire roster either? Was he posting on someone else's behalf again or is that something he actually heard?

Is there any rule against posting images from the event?
On GAF? I don't see why not, though anybody actually at the event is probably being told they can't take photos/videos in the first place hence the awkward phone shots we're going off.
 
Night GAF. Looking forward to some more info in the morning and hopefully confirmation on the black and red colors for Mario from Super Mario Galaxy.

Well then...

I still think he should have been an Ike clone. Literally does the same moves as him in Awakening.
 
Robin

He has two swords, the magic and the non-magic one. (Forgive me, not an awakening veteran).

All of tilts are using the physical sword. They have good combo ability. All of his smashes use the magic sword, which has an electric effect.

When in the air, if you use the inputs for a smash attack (and you still have the magic sword available), you will do an aerial that uses the magic sword. If you just typically hit an aerial he will use the normal sword.

You use up your magic sword quite quickly but it regenerates rather fast so it's not like it ruins your tempo. Very fast.

The fire move we've seen is actually a fireball that comes from above robins head and rains down in the vicinity in front of robin. His neutral b shoots and electric lightnig bolt straight across the stage.

The healing move is his down b and you would be surprised to know it heals for a LOT (I healed for about 20%) and it stuns your opponent while you heal. It has a start up though so it's not as easy to land as any regular grab. I can see Robin being a PAIN IN THE *** to people who can't avoid getting caught in it. Unsure if you can force break it from slapping buttons, I only played AS him.

His up b jumps up a bit and shoots wind slicers down. Important to note it's actually not straight up, he jumps jump and slides slightly to the side in the direction you're facing THEN shoots them down, so it can be a ground option too.

Marth feels very nerfed. His range seems even worse than in Brawl (I was whiffing fsmashes like crazy and I'm pretty good with tippers). Aside fr his range and no ability to double fair he seems mostly the same, aside from running faster. It's his range that REALLY feels kinda killer to His melee/brawl play style.

Tipper ing with Marth seems to require your opponent to be a lot closer than ever before, it seems he won't be as much of a spacing monster as he's always been.

This can't be overstated enough, his range feels significantly shorter (by significantly I mean that it's noticeable. It's all relative of course), and seems to be his most notable nerf. Spacing his tippers seems to Be considerably more skill-based due to the range needed.

robins down b sounds super op

Goodbye old friend. Say hello to the bottom-tier for me.
 
Goddamn, it looks like Marth's turn to get swatted by the nerf bat has finally come. He had a good run though, avoided it for over 10 years.

My brother mains Marth so it really sucked to have to tell him that.
 
Dang!!! I miss one day of SmashGAF due to work and packing, and we actually get news! Good news even!

I'm so happy right now! Game of the forever!!! =]
 
Jeeeesus wept, what did they do to Marth? They didn't need to nerf him that bad.

Still using him anyway. I'm not some fair weather fan switching to waifu, I'm playing Marth.
 
They look horrendous.

Nintendo needs to release the QR codes immediately.

I don't mind the landing lag on the knee. I mean, characters change. Sometimes for the better, but sometimes they just get straight up nerfed. You either have to adapt or pick a new character.
