Support NeoGAF

I wouldn't be surprised. MM's upair has always looked like one of his most solid kill options from the footage we've seen IMO.

With less SDIability in the game (at least as far as what we saw in the E3 build, which we might as well assume SDIability hasn't changed), multi-hit moves are going to be dangerous especially MM's Uair. Knowing the SDIability being weaker definitely makes me suspect Uair will be amazing.

Playing right now?

Yes, the guy making these tweets is playing the Japanese demo right now -- there's around only 20 people there (there might be more now as that was tweeted out like 20 some odd minutes ago) so he gets to try the demo out a lot. He's a friend of D1's.

 

[J@hranimo]

....I refuse to believe Sakurai made Sonic garbage again. I really want to try him now that he's saying that.

This guy seems much more critical compared to Zipzo from yesterday.

 

[SuperSah]

I just asked him if he found the screen size for the OG an issue at all and he said it was totally fine.

So hopefully some people's fears are alleviated.

 

[Ryce]

So Mii Brawler is just another variant of Great Aether?

It sounds like it.

 

[Vashzaron]

Asked Wein about Viridi color swap on twitch, doesn't have blonde hair, keeps green. ;(

Sonic can never be too garbage.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Glad that shulk sounds fun. I'm sure his mode swaps will take getting used to, but I think if you can become decent with them you could do even better

I'm ok with that. Matches the nature vibe for viridi.

He wasn't garbage in Brawl, you just had to kill people by using his speed to get to the Smash Ball!

 

[zroid]

Sonic can never be too garbage.

Sakurai is just trying to keep it authentic ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)

 

[Kinhow]

Any words of a switch to turn off tap jump again?

 

[Hatchtag]

Any words of a switch to turn of tap jump again?

Let's hope there is, it was more of a problem in the 3DS demo than in any other Smash I've ever played, imo.

 

[Vashzaron]

I'm ok with that. Matches the nature vibe cor viridi.

Yeh but personally was hoping for a blonde Palutena in some form.

Since I saw these Photoshops:

Any words of a switch to turn of tap jump again?

No word on control customization, yet. I would be surprised if it's not in the 3DS version, though.

 

[Ahnez]

I want options to customize Link's face

Spoiler

lol

 

[J@hranimo]

*Sigh* I'll mess with Sonic in the Wii U version and try and kick ass!

Key word is Try. =/

 

[Beelzebufo]

Any words of a switch to turn of tap jump again?

I'm sure there will be, just not in the demo. That would actually make the game unplayable for me.

 

[SuperSah]

Pretty sure contol remaps will be under options.

We're bound to see it within a few days.

Wein finding it easy to play on the OG 3DS is great news, even though I already played, I'm a tad foggy.

 

[DrStiles]

I'm sure there will be, just not in the demo. That would actually make the game unplayable for me.

Yea me too. I always turn off Tap Jump, with it on I always mess up my up tilts and recoveries

 

[MyBodyisReady]

Im guessing with the news that Olimar has an Alph alt, and Fox has a wolf recolor, and Link has Fierce Diety.

Ness has a Lucas alt?

 

[Labrynian Rebel]

Wow that is well done. Not aware of the original context in which DLC was brought up here, but for Smash I wouldn't mind DLC, because it looks like we will be getting boat loads of content already. And there isn't a bunch of "pre-order now for DLC characters available at launch" crap I hate seeing in fighting games now.

I posted it for humor's sake, Nintendo's been pretty good at dabbling in DLC without picking up the bad practices of, er, certain companies.

I keep going back and forth on Xenoblade.
I'll do really good and then boom a wall. Have to mess around then I finally get past the tough section.
This just keep repeating back and forth. I've been really enjoying it aside from that.

Ether Mine's boss, Valak Mountain's boss, Sword Valley's boss and the two disciple fights all made me tear my hair out in frustration... probably because I didn't do 90% of the sidequests >_<

You should really be posting the alt text when you post BitF comics, dude; don't deprive people of the second punchline! (That'd be

Spoiler

''Oh great, and now there's been a blackout…''

, in this case.)

My humble apologies, I'll be sure to remember that in the future

Weinhben000: Yoshi is buffed so much I think he went to the same gym as knuckles Ike and swampert
Weinhben000: Yoshi has great smash attacks up air has the same effect of a sweetspor falcon knee

lol

 

[ffdgh]

lol

So good to read the green dino is finally getting some love.

 

[Revven]

DK impressions:

dk has a great dash attacks, his forward throw still carries and e can juggle with up air. Side b is sped up a bit and dair is great

https://twitter.com/WeinhofferBen/status/508383640825634816

First time I heard his new dash attack was actually good -- people at E3 and other places said it seemed mediocre or something. Uair juggles sounds pretty hype, though, assuming the opponents tried to air dodge out and couldn't.

 

[J@hranimo]

lol

lol what? That comparison though.

I'm Yoshi will be more viable this time around (finally)

 

[OmegaSmash]

....I refuse to believe Sakurai made Sonic garbage again. I really want to try him now that he's saying that.

I'm hoping he's wrong too since be sounded great in E3.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Those Yoshi buffs.

I'm going to start crying guys.

 

[Hatchtag]

Im guessing with the news that Olimar has an Alph alt, and Fox has a wolf recolor, and Link has Fierce Diety.

Ness has a Lucas alt?

Guessing Ness will have a costume referencing Lucas, much like Fox does with Wolf. So that way, if they don't inevitably become DLC, they're not forgotten, but also so that they can still become DLC by not being a full-on alt.

DK impressions:

Thank god. DK's playstyle is really fun, but his general not being very good makes it hard to enjoy him all that much.

 

[Vashzaron]

lol the comparison.

Quite happy about the news, I like playing as Yoshi.

 

[Kouriozan]

All those impressions sounds nice so far.

 

[Aaronrules380]

so that megaman combo that was mentioned seems to have been used to kill shiek when shiek started at 30%

Please to be good. PLEASE!

 

[Makai]

I have found the best megaman combo. Up throw up air up air up b up air is amazing. I killed sheik and started at 30%

Let's go

Twitter dude use mario!!

Weinhben000: Yoshi is buffed so much I think he went to the same gym as knuckles Ike and swampert

Y-Yoshi buffs?! Is it finally happening?! Yoshi buffs + Black Yoshi color means I think I might finally be able to play as Yoshi regularly!

Yes! I'm really feeling all these great impressions so far.

 

[R0ckman]

....I refuse to believe Sakurai made Sonic garbage again.

Sakurai's just sticking to the source material, very faithfully I might add.

 

[Hyperactivity]

I want options to customize Link's face

Spoiler

lol

Probably one of the better things about Fierce Diety alt is that his face will probably look pretty good now

 

[Hatchtag]

Sakurai's just sticking to the source material, very faithfully I might add.

Not that faithfully.

 

[Revven]

Apparently sweetspot Uair with Yoshi has electric effects...? Not sure if he's just describing it incorrectly or what because that sounds really unbelievable and strange. He also said Yoshi's Usmash is as strong as Fox's from Melee. (For reference, Fox's Usmash can KO most characters under 100% in Melee).

Yoshi is buffed soo much. His up air has the electric effect like the falcon knee, up smash is like melee foxs, up b has more range

https://twitter.com/WeinhofferBen/status/508383855330742272

 

[Speedwagon]

I'm happy to hear Yoshi got buffed, even though I probably won't use him, unless he has a regular recovery for a custom move. Then maybe.

I'm assuming Yoshi doesn't have DJC?

That sounds fucking crazy lol

I don't remember electricity ever being in a Yoshi game.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

I shouldn't have googled buff yoshi.

 

[ffdgh]

>_> I forget "Sonic sucks" is a thing on the internet.

Anyway I never commented on my boy WEEGEE, glad his comboability is still intact

I bet they sped up DK's roll attack in the final build.

 

[Revven]

I'm assuming Yoshi doesn't have DJC?

Probably not, they took DJCing out in Brawl. I doubt they'd bring it back. He can still do the rising aerials, though, as we saw in his "reveal trailer" in the Direct back in April.

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Still no samus impressions yet? :/

 

[SuperSah]

I think Sakurai achieved his goal of this game.

These impressions are outstanding.

All the characters are really getting their deserved love.

Big well done to Sakurai and his team, the love poured into this is hugely prominent.
