Is anyone going to argue Yellow Devil is not a stage hazard still?

 

[Hello.]

Are the characters actually looking back there or did Sakurai just place them in one of their in-between animations that just makes it look that way? Has anyone noticed these actions before?

From what I noticed there's new individual animations when characters face either direction but this doesn't happen in the 3DS version oddly.

Edit: Nevermind, the stances in this pic is more emphasized, I'm not sure what animation the characters are doing.

Nintendo just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Nintendo culture (I'm an expert), but hype and excitement are huge parts of it. It's not like it is with Sony where you can become successful by playing it safe. If you leave everyone disappointed in Nintendoland, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is with a new character reveal.

What this means is the Nintendo fanbase, after seeing the latest update, is not going to want to purchase SSB4 for either system, nor will they purchase any of Nintendo's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Nintendo has alienated their entire fanbase with this move.

Nintendo, publicly apologize and reveal a new character for SSB4 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

-1 sale. Goodbye Nintendo's business.

...people actually thought otherwise?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

...people actually thought otherwise?

Assist trophy was the common refrain last week.

Before that, some people claimed it was actually an adventure mode because why else would they tease it at the end of the mega man trailer?!

 

[GiantBreadbug]

It's going to be a stage hazard and it's going to be awful.

@Pic of the day: That is Villager's idle animation, and it looks like Pit just landed from a jump maybe. In any case, this isn't a scene from a single player mode if you ask me. Sakurai won't be showing that off on the site I don't think. Just like the 3DS shot with Samus and Kirby using their taunts while looking at the background of the Gerudo Valley stage, he's just posing them in-battle.

The extrapolation is amazing sometimes, isn't it?

 

[SmithnCo]

The question is if you can hit the devil's eye and deal damage to make the hazard go away.

Welcome to SmashGAF. For a while, just seeing the Yellow Devil in the back would've been a big update.

Btw, Sakurai is uploading a pic EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I don't see a Titanfall pic every day.
Nor a Destiny one.

etc.

Welcome to NeoGAF, that post is a dumb meme not even being used that well

 

[C.Olimar788]

So that's Yellow Devil basically confirmed to be a stage hazard. That's... really disappointing to me. Wily Castle looked like it would have made a nice neutral/counterpick, but now it obviously can't be either... I guess I just have to hope that the Devil isn't TOO obtrusive for casual play.

 

[Dimitri LH]

SkullHydra lost? ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

Judging by the previous pic, it looks very obtrusive.

 

[Jacobbles]

Yellow Devil is awesome and all, but man I hope there's some kind of option for turning off stage hazards

 

[afoni]

my prediction was right

*Whoosh*

It makes me feel old when people don't get that joke.

 

[BGBW]

Seeing as dodging is pretty easy in Smash I don't see why people think this is going to be an awful stage hazard. A few blobs to the left and then a few to the right and then he bugger off to the background again.

we don't even know if he'll repeat it or if he'll be fast or slow. It's moaning for moanings sake

 

[Boss Doggie]

Is it weird that Villager looks like his eyes are covered by his hair

Google TL:
"There seems to be a new rumor "Smash Bros." is called out in the spring of next year something, but this is misinformation. De-moto is like Germany, but such as he is not even the fact that you speak. It is common misinformation like that ... Well."

app sakurai kills the spring theory , don't really feel like my hype can last longer then that

 

[Kokonoe]

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

think ill avoid smash bros u pics and knowledge for a few months

Direct translation of that actually confirms it.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So Reggie Mii is not confirmed

 

[Qurupeke]

Well, this confirms that Yellow Devil is stage Hazard though.

I will never bet my avatar.

 

[oreomunsta]

If I'm not wrong, someone lost a bet here a few days ago to SkullHydra but never changed their avatar...

I would know because the new avatar was another pony, and I'd hate to be the only one haha

Goldeen needs to go. It should be replaced by glorious Slowpoke =)

Oh no, I'm starting a new page! I'm not ready for this D:

 

[BassForever]

Truly a fucking nothing image, unless you were under some delusion yellow devil wasn't a stage hazard

Bring back all the melee pokemon but get rid of almost all of the new brawl pokemon...Half serious.

Daisy and Rosalina for assist trophy.

 

[Shufel]

I can't believe we haven't gotten another character announcement yet. It feels like forever since we had Marth. Sakurai is not seriously waiting until Christmas before he announces the next one is he?

 

[BGBW]

Stunfisk should be a Pokéball Pokémon. The floor is now electric!
