So you think a Gyroid is going to burst off the stage and gain sharper textures and rounder geometry in the process?
Tell me again how different they are. I see slight differences, but not enough to make me think they're not meant to be the same Gyroid.

unless they updated the texture resolution, they might actually be different.
It's probably the former though.

Nope, I think it's a game in development, and that Gyroids come in so many different forms that it's highly unlikely for there to be any reason to include two that look exactly alike when a simple texture swap will do. I'm not going to claim to have any idea how the Gyroid works in either of those pics, but he looks like the same guy in two different spots to me.

You can tell theres more Polygons in the one villager is riding, and obviously higher res texture.
I'm thinking it's his Up-B
One is meant for distant background viewing, thus warranting lower quality resources. The other is a part of the actual battle (Villager's move set) and needs to look better because of it. I don't know which attack it is, but it's clearly not the stage Gyroid.

Can't you tell what's going on?! Sakurai is messing with our minds!

Yeah, I mean I see all of that and agree, but why make it the same Gyroid? There's like a billion different types.
Also, I asked this earlier but don't think it ever got answered: What's Sakurai's Miiverse caption on today's image?
"Pic of the day. Is that a boy riding a gyroid?!"

Since when do gyroids blast off?
They don't, which is why it's more likely that Sakurai "invented" that to fill out one of the Villager's move slots versus a Gyroid randomly rocketing around the stage as a hazard. I'm sure this new Smashville will be another peaceful stage like the one in Brawl and won't have stage hazards at all.

Okay, he's messing with us. The gyroid might fly, but I'm pretty much sold that it's not rideable.

Having a flying gyroid would be an... odd choice in any circumstance. Maybe the Gyroid is an item or AT that can be picked up and thrown like Bonsly in Brawl?

Is there any gameplay of the villager? If his jump animation doesn't ever look like the position he is in in the picture then you can come to a conclusion with more certainty...
Def a move
The only gameplay we've seen of him was from the developer direct which didn't reveal terribly much, mostly just clarified on stuff from the reveal video.

Since the Spirit Tracks level is exclusive to the 3DS version, could we still get a Macbeth StarFox 64 level on Wii U
The fact there's a Gerudo Valley stage in SSB3DS, despite OoT originally being a console game, makes me think any Star Fox 64 representation will take its cues from the -3DS- remake.

He won't have to; his vision is augmented.

Yeah, one definitely has better textures, which makes sense since it would be closer to the camera. Makes me think either a move or item.

Every time I see Gyroid I can't help but think...
I don't see the Gyro being an item that lets you fly around considering that has nothing to do with the thing. It makes much more sense to stretch it to do that for a character themselves.
If anything I would think it's more likely the Balloon Fight thing the villager was shown with before is an item instead of an up b.

If they're separate game features they wouldn't make them look almost the same. It's bad design if so.
I say it's an item.

Now that I think about it, Villager is the only character whose moveset isn't clearly defined yet.

I thought his up-B would be the balloons.
We saw a bit of it in the developer direct, right?
I think it's exclusive to Villager as a move, not an item.

If it's his up-b it will always be attached to his body. It won't exist lying around to confuse people.
That isn't exactly true for moves such as Sonic's up-b or Wario's side-b.
Boss Doggie

Nah even with the developer direct Sakurai didn't "feature" most of his moves.
Giving the "Balloon Fighter" animation with the arms flapping to every single character would really be a lot of effort wasted for just one item. I'm fairly certain its for Villager only.

I'm still stuck on that
No idea, I don't think that's ever happened in AC, lol

Or Mega Man's up-b, which has Rush sitting around for a while after he's been called.
I don't know but it reminds me of the OoT Sheikah Stones.

Stick swing (u-tilt), pot drop (running), umbrella (s-tilt), slingshot (air move), pull weeds (d-tilt), fireworks (u-smash), shovel/dig (d-smash), tree-plant (d-special), and bowling ball (s-special?). All just guesses, but we have seen quite a few of his moves already.
Oh, and I'm just guessing about the controls for those moves.
Boss Doggie

That's what I mean. Compared to Megaman and WFT who seemed to have more "definite" moves in the video at least.

I wonder where the watering can and axe are mapped. Maybe they replace the down special after planting the sapling (if it is down special), though I can see the axe being side special on it's own.
Also have I mentioned how much I love the daily photo thing? Not an overabundance of information like the dojo but just enough shown to cause speculation and hype. So delicious.

The hardest part about villager is figuring out what moves are regular and what ones are special.
Standard - Grab Item
Side - Shovel
Up - Balloons
Down - Plant Tree
I'm almost positive that's correct.
I think the shovel might actually be his Down Smash, and the Gyroid rocket is his Side Special. Other than that, though, that move set looks about right to me!

I was thinking shovel was neutral-B, balloons was up-B, bowling ball was down-B, and tree/axe was side-B. I dunno.
You're forgetting his item pick up. I really don't think the bowling ball will be a special move -- Sakurai said those are meant to embody the flavor of a character, and bowling has nothing/very little to do with Animal Crossing. It looks like a tilt or smash attack to me.
I hope it's down B to keep consistent with G&W, and the EB/Starfox character's absorb/reflects.
Shovel seems like down smash to me.
