The Samus height measurement comes from this old Nintendo Power. To my knowledge it's the only time she's been given an official height and weight.

Man this fake almost make me scream

LOL that's Omega Ridley's render from Prime 3. They didn't even try.

Q&A with Zipzo, live now

Yes!

 

[OricWindstar]

Hey guys, I'll post this up later as well, but here's the breakdown of points so far in the poll. I'll start revealing the amount of points veterans have as they're revealed from now on.

 

[The Captain]

I think Alph is a special case in that his body proportions, moveset, and personality match up well enough to an existing character to work as an alternate skin. People tend to undervalue "personality" in the context of Smash Bros., but on-screen appearances, taunts, and victory animations really do help flesh out a character. For instance, nothing about Olimar stands out as unbefitting Alph, but Mario's hat flip, Donkey Kong K.O., and Super Mushroom poses don't make any sense for Dr. Mario. Lucina, Dark Pit, and Dr. Mario all have their own trademark gestures that help separate them from their cloned sources and give them a unique identity, but Alph doesn't.

Doesn't Lucina have Marth's idle animations though?

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Wait a fucking second, theres no Female Pikachu alt is there?
WASTED POTENTIAL.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I like that all the company mascots (Mario, Mega, Pac, and Sonic) are all roughly the same height.

Probably coincidental since they're all more or less the same stature, but I wonder if it's some weird company mandated policy? Like they all need to be the same size and neither one of them stand out more than the other.

That's great!

 

[OricWindstar]

There's a pink hairstyle for the Robin female alt. Also, confirmed no Mrs. Pac-Man and no costumes that change his skin color.

 

[Ryce]

Doesn't Lucina have Marth's idle animations though?

Yes, but she has her own taunts, including the mask toggle.

 

[emb]

Sure.

Thanks! I had seen the FD shot, but always good to have it posted for others that have been busy.

I'm pretty happy with all the colors in this game. I've always kinda hoped for it to be a point of focus, now it pretty is. Not everything we'd want is there, but lots of cool things are.

Zipzo said Falcon's Knee is easier to hit?!

PRAISE SAKURAI

Spoiler

I can deal with it being laggy as long as that godforsaken Brawl sweetspot is gone!!

 

[Molemitts]

She's "nearly six feet tall" without the suit.

Sorry, I read her size wrong, so ignore what I said.

Man this fake almost make me scream

Technology has advanced so far, to the point that Meta Ridley can replace his cybernetic body parts with smaller parts. He can finally fit into Smash!

 

[StreetsAhead]

Oh, it's Ridley discussion time. A-fucking-gain.

Time to duck out and come back to this thread in a couple of pages when this nonsense is over.

And ton of damage to boot, according to him.

Seems like a great risk/reward move for a strong attack.

Zipzo is saying Bowser has not been notably nerfed since SDCC! Bowser wrecking shit incoming.

It's ridliculous.

 

[Gamefreak]

What about hit stun? Can you actually combo in this game? or is it like Brawl?

 

[Toxi]

Ridley is going to accidentally overdo it and will instead star in Pikmin 4.

Ahh interesting. Inb4 fox wins!

 

[chaosblade]

Hey guys, I'll post this up later as well, but here's the breakdown of points so far in the poll. I'll start revealing the amount of points veterans have as they're revealed from now on.

I can only assume #5 is Captain Falcon, since I voted for him, Marth, and ZSS. In that order.

Zipzo is saying Bowser has not been notably nerfed since SDCC! Bowser wrecking shit incoming.

Bowser is probably going to be Smash 4's Ike. At pre-release demos everyone considered him the best character.

 

[OricWindstar]

Let me know if these updates are annoying, but Zipzo is saying his only issue is the blast zones being so large. Otherwise, he loves it. Says it seems to have a lot of potential to be genuinely competitive, but people need to be open minded as to what competitive Smash can be.

 

[Josephl64]

you can combo but i think he said tilts were crucial

 

[Molemitts]

Ridley is going to accidentally overdo it and will instead star in Pikmin 4.

Ridley will have to be in control of a mech to fit into Smash 5.

 

[Kouriozan]

Bowser got dat buff since Brawl, and he needed it.

 

[OricWindstar]

Despite complaints about Marth, Zipzo says Marth is definitely better than his Brawl variant. Marth has is original colors, in addition to an orange variant. Though it's early to say, there seems to be a balance among the current roster.

DK bair is amazing, he says. Little landing lag.

He also says tap jump was on and it bugged the shit out of him. xD

 

[zroid]

Also, confirmed no Mrs. Pac-Man and no costumes that change his skin color.

damn that's a huge missed opportunity. unless it's unlockable or something.

 

[MannyToons]

I've gotten quite annoyed with it as well, honestly, lol. It always comes down to Ridley. Can they just add him to the roster already so it can all end? I don't care for him myself but for the sake of those clamoring for him

Spoiler

and my low threshold for hearing about him all the time, huhuh

just do it.

 

[Wanderer5]

Well good to see that Marth seems to be better than his brawl version despite some nerfing.

 

[The Captain]

I love this:

The purple haze means that they're all standing on Ridley's back.

I'm noticing some characters are missing, like the Fire Emblem guys and Toon Link. Any official height for those?

I'm beyond annoyed. Can't people tell something is just getting too fucking old to talk about?
Stop milking Ridley for fun, it's not funny anymore.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Ridley discussion? Don't make me bring out Ridley's Wing shadow gif.

I hope Ice Climbers are in the top 5.

You mean the absolute cold hard truth? Sorry just rubbing some salt in.

 

[SuperSah]

People will soon find a way to revert most competitive play to Melee, don't worry about that.

 

[Cynosure]

I'd be more bitter of the fact that she's still apparently garbage tier.

early tiers don't mean anything


2002 VS current

My friend could wreck with Zelda on brawl so I guess one mans trash is another's treasure.

 

[Beelzebufo]

At this point, there is a Ridley discussion about how sick people are of Ridley discussions.

 

[OricWindstar]

Pikachu quick attack seems buffed. Confirmed his thunderbolt is not as tall, but can be used as a meteor smash if your near the cloud.

Meta Knight is still a good character, but has been hit with the nerf bat. We don't seem to be getting Brawl 2.0 Meta Knight.

Zibzo does express concern about the circle pad. Doesn't really elaborate on that...

Ledge mechanics have much less snap, you have to get close to the ledge to grab it. All been talked about before, just confirming the ledge stuff from last night. Back grabbing has returned.

He worries there may not be many competitively viable stages on the 3DS.

Wii Fit Trainer has 4 colors for each gender.

Sonic was his favorite character in the demo because of his speed.

Marth's tippers are still very good and have good knock back.

 

[Tripon]

Oh, it's Ridley discussion time. A-fucking-gain.

Time to duck out and come back to this thread in a couple of pages when this nonsense is over.

In before talk about Ridley is banned and also avatars. Then somebody reveals days after release they really had a Ridley avatar all this time by zooming in on a body part and then getting banned for it.
>_> <_<

 

[JoBo4]

is it just me or does mew2king seem kinda like an asshole. i haven't really seen him be nice to people at all, especially on this chat...

 

[Kouriozan]

Yay, more Sonic love.

 

[liquidekkah]

I don't think there's any official height for any of the FE characters, but based off of conversations in RD, his sprite height in comparison to others, and the in game cutscenes, I'd guess that Ike is a good amount over 6 foot. Probably 6'2"-6'3" if I had to make a guess.

 

[OricWindstar]

Zipzo didn't really try out final smashes out, so has little info on those.

Luigi felt kind of lame to him, but he stressed that it's probably just him as he's not a Luigi user.

He says every character has something that makes them unique and viable at this stage. Connecting hits is extremely satisfying because of the sound design.

Zelda fair and hair both have sweetspots, says she is a lot of fun to use.

Marth can still spike, same way as previous games.

Peach is completely redesigned, despite having the same move set. All the animations are different, making her feel very different. She still has her floating abillity and can perform aerials.

Does not say Fox is nerfed. He is a completely new character. In fact, he says every character feels new. "You'll feel silly for asking if characters are nerfed, as everyone feels like a new character."

No Metal Sonic skin.

Did not play Yoshi.

Met him and armada at e3. Cool dudes. So maybe not. You can tell that M2K is a bit shy though.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I think he just lacks any social awareness, from what I've read. Like legitimately has some developmental issues.

But hey, he's good at Smash Brothers so no one really minds.

 

[OricWindstar]

Zero Suit Samus seems pretty unchanged. Thinks she will be a good character for beginners because of her whip.

Peach's float seems to last for the same amount of time.

Sheik is the most aggressive character so far. Almost no landing lag and maybe the most combo potential in the game.

 

[Beelzebufo]

is it just me or does mew2king seem kinda like an asshole. i haven't really seen him be nice to people at all, especially on this chat...

He's a super awkward person who may or may not have a mental disease. He's pretty much exactly what you'd think a professional smash bros player would be like haha as far as stereotypical nerds go.
