Is it a new animation?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

What's the point of showing 3DS pics when Wii U looks better anyway.

Because there's two versions. What you just said has very little reason to do with anything.

 

[ffdgh]

Variation of her standard A?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Knock it the fuck off. We don't need you causing drama here.

What drama? It can't be drama if it's full of joy and comedy!

i dont even know what the hell youre on about.

not even related pokemon, wtf does that mean? not the same type? who cares.

i know the story from the movie, what the fuck does that have to do with anything. i know the armor is canon in the Anime and not the games, it just would be cool if they used the armor is all im saying.

youre like speaking gibberish so, whatever lol.

Maybe English is not your native language? The Lucario comparison is stupid because there's nothing related to the two, so bringing it up is totally pointless.

And yes - that's the point - it's not canon in the games. Smash will not use it. Stop pushing it like people assuming Red is Ash and Green/Blue is Gary.

Good, good. The next step is realizing and admitting that new Pokemon have gotten progressively stupider looking since generation two.

Ahh this nugget. Generalizing one generation's worth by one mon.

I'd actually do the same thing to counter your argument but then that'd be stupid.

Is it a new animation?

I recall her doing that for her normal A.

 

[ash_ag]

Also I love how people keep on reeling the armor. It's not canon people. Team Rocket didn't clone Mewtwo! Mewtwo was born from Mew made by scientists with Fuji!

Mew being Mewtwo's mother and Mewtwo being a clone aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, "gene splicing" can (especially in this case) refer to cloning. We also still don't know Fuji's motives. There are theories, but nothing is really confirmed. Considering how popular Mewtwo's TR background is, they would likely attribute TR as Fuji's backer if they ever returned to the story.

And yet the new movie made it so that other scientists can do it too. And yes I know of that, but the process is different on game canon (cloned but released via birthing) vs. anime canon (test tubes).

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

If we start bringing the shitty anime into this, Pikachu will be top tier and pretty much unbeatable.

 

[Dragoshi1]

For those on the whole mewtwo thing, this is sorta on/off topic, but...

*movie spoilers*

Spoiler

The Mewtwo in the newest movie is a 2nd Mewtwo, a female. She is capable of switching to that new form thanks to further experimentation by scientists.

Basically, we can get the old Mewtwo, or the newest movie version of Mewtwo, If they decide to bring Mewtwo back to Smash or not.

The Pikmin KO'd Mega Man, Samus goes in for revenge.

I suppose the game can get away with something a bit more controversial more easily.

M16 is just a terrible mistake though. Personally, I don't feel like supporting the writer's decision when the same person is so arrogant and rude to fans. It's not a decision to empower the plot or anything. It's simply a result of this person being ignorant to Pokémon's legacy and being given a job he doesn't deserve.

Just to be clear, I'm not even necessarily against a second Mewtwo; Ranger 3, for example, can be argued to be canon, and I respect it much more. I just feel that it's too careless to play with older fans' intelligence like that.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Sounds more like an attempt (an asshole-ish attempt) at trying to avoid the question because he seems to have been asked about it a lot. And it's probably because of TPCi forcing that "new stuff for new viewers" angle.

The Pikmin KO'd Mega Man, Samus goes in for revenge.

They have always been best buddies. Their parent companies didn't celebrate their anniversaries.

 

[zroid]

There's quite some clipping going on. Also awesome, better ground textures than Pikmin 3!

Nonsense, that's not clipping. Arm cannon can phase through objects at will, this is common knowledge. ಠ_ృ

 

[Kokonoe]

What was the whole point of Dr. Fuji's lab being destroyed, him dying, everything else that could have gave clues on how to create Mewtwo, Dr. Fuji being a one of a kind scientist, and Mewtwo being a one of a kind project if any ole group of scientist can do what he did?

All it is is plot, nothing else.

Mega Man's anniversary was at least acknowledged, poor Samus' anniversary was not.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Mega Man's anniversary was at least acknowledged, poor Samus' anniversary was not.

Is it better to ignore it completely, or release a fan-made game? I suppose Nintendo could have legitimatized one of the numerous Metroid II remakes.

Sure Mega Man's was terrible, but they at least acknowledged it was his anniversary. Nintendo was like, "Samus? Metroid? Whatchu talkin' about?"

Also, where are these Metroid 2 remakes? I've never seen any other than AM2R.

 

[SuperSah]

I like the Samus shot, but is it just me or is her armour lacking sheen?

I mean, I'm sure in MP games, it was kinda "shiny", if you get what I mean. I never played Other M to know if it was intentionally dull though.

 

[Green Mamba]

Canon plot

All this talk of Pokemon canon is nonsense. Where in Pokemon canon does Lucario speak human languages?

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

Yes, she's certainly plastic-looking.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Maybe she doesn't polish her armor much. But how does she polish it? Where does she stash it?

All this talk of Pokemon canon is nonsense. Where in Pokemon canon does Lucario speak human languages?

Aura talk! No different from Mewtwo talking in Melee.

Too much shine hurts a Smash player's eyes.

looks more like brushed metal now. Samus in Other M is also shiny.

 

[SuperSah]

Ah I see.

I reckoned it was some duller style to give off a worn look as if she's been in many brawls.

 

[J@hranimo]

Aww so it is another Wii U pic..Samus' design will always be an improvement over previous smash games though.

 

[sorakirosaki]

I'm in the minority that actually liked Pichu in Melee. Just hated how he damages himself. lol

Pichu was probably my most favorite character in melee when i first started playing didnt get haters when they told me pichu sucked

 

[Nights Owl]

His Side Smash Attacks were pretty strong. They could KO at pretty low %. So as long as you remembered to not use too many Electric moves, you'd be pretty safe.

It doesn't help that he's the lightest character in the game though.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Today's picture looks pretty swell, though it only leaves me more confused at the general lay-out of this particular stage.

 

[georly]

Still only 3 pikmin per shot! Here's to hoping his up b is a flying pikmin now.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

For those on the whole mewtwo thing, this is sorta on/off topic, but...

*movie spoilers*

Spoiler

The Mewtwo in the newest movie is a 2nd Mewtwo, a female..

Spoiler

Huh. That explains a lot.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

B-but Mewtwo doesn't have a gender in the games!

 

[IntelliHeath]

Well, no Luigi so I'm not surprised that he might be secret character once again.

 

[Shadow Hog]

Huh. That explains a lot.

...you better fix that spoiler tag, bro.

What drama? It can't be drama if it's full of joy and comedy!

You're deliberately goading somebody on, saying "lol, your bitter tears are delicious, cry some more". How the hell is that not further instigating the issue?

 

[C.Olimar788]

Clearly today's picture is Samus taking out her frustration at having been stuck with her Other M design.

 

[GamerSoul]

Hmm wow @ that newtwo fact..what will they do next?

Clearly today's picture is Samus taking out her frustration at having been stuck with her Other M design.

I like the design. It looks sleek and shows off her curves the colors also sstick out more.

 

[Heyt]

Samus looks great in HD, but please publish a 3DS shot tomorrow!

As much as I really really want a 3DS shot, consider it extremely unlikely.

[Heyt]

Really?

Yup! We are getting 2 games but just one seems to be getting promotion. And some of us want to know things and/or see the product they will buy.

Exactly this.

Really?

Yes. Really. I own a 3DS and I do not intend to purchase a Wii U, so i'm getting the 3DS version. So yes, really, I want more screenshots of a game I am going to be buying with my hard-earned cash.

 

[SmithnCo]

Mewtwo being psychic type and having a transformation could easily give him a more unique/fun moveset than Lucario. Not like they have to keep Mewtwo's crappy hitboxes from Melee.

 

[Qurupeke]

Expect Ness tomorrow.

 

[Ryce]

Expect Ness tomorrow.

If you want to set yourself up for disappointment, sure. Mother 2's been available in Japan for four months.

But SSB4 has been announced only for 1 month!!!!!11!1

Spoiler

Yeah, I know... :-/

 

[georly]

Expect Ness tomorrow.

Would be nice, but I fully expect them to spread out character reveals for longer than a week per character, especially since it doesnt seem like we're getting real dojo updates this time around.

 

[SmithnCo]

Expect Ness tomorrow.

I'm more excited for what Mother stage they have planned. Hopefully a new one from Mother 2/EB. I'd love to see that in HD.
