Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U Thread 5: Yarning for Yoshi

Is anyone else really bothered by how DK and Diddy's feet/hands are completely bare, white human skin colored and even have fingernails

All apes have some sort of fingernails. But you're right he needs some fur on his hands, or maybe he shaves it.

Huh, lots of moveset tweaks to lots of characters so far. I'm starting to get hopeful that Namco's involvement is actually resulting in a more balanced game.
Not sure if it's Namco more than Sakurai, but I'm very happy with the balancing I've seen so far. Many of the weaker characters are now a little stronger. No doubt they will nerf Meta Knight, although I wonder how they'll do it.
 
Escape from L.A. is the only Brawl newcomer that isn't needed. Even R.O.B. deserves it more.
 
Despite DK being my super vanilla main, his model is just as off as Diddy's. Actually it's not really the model themselves just the textures for the fur really rub me the wrong way. That and the portions of skin that show on both of them just don't look right to me. I really can't pin point it.

What ever the case Donkey is my main and if I wasn't put off by all of Diddy's gadgets I would play as him too. Hopefully Dixie has minimal use of gadgets and goes all out with fists, feet and hair!

I know REAL apes have fingernails, but they seem like kind of too much detail for such a cartoony monkey, I mean his eyes join into one giant McDonalds logo eye

The slots are imaginary, so can't we just imagine more slots?

They're like imaginary numbers, they need to be used to rationalize irrational slots
like Ridley
 
Y'all won't be laughing when the omega team of Lucina, Impa, and Dixie are revealed!

Smash has always gone for a more realistic look for nintendo characters, even melee for its time had very realistic textures, I remember being impressed by the scales on bowser's skin in melee which have not aged well at all btw.
 
Hmm, I wonder if Sakurai might reveal Meta Knight when Kirby Triple Deluxe releases in the US?

Is he even in that game though?

Smash has always( melee forward ) had odd amounts of detail, I am pretty sure mario's pants are still denim.
 
Hoping no curve balls will be thrown and it's revealed later that it's actually a Diddy/Dixie tag team.

Solo Dixie Kong maybe as an unlockable please.
 
Updated the veterans checklist:

Look at all that red!

What we can expect:

Yoshi - March 14 (Yoshi's New Island NA launch)

What we can maybe expect:

Wario - May 29 2014 (Mario Kart 8 launch)
Sheik - Summer 2014 (Hyrule Warriors launch)
Ganondorf - Summer 2014 (Hyrule Warriors launch)

Which leaves us with:

Ice Climbers
ROB
Meta Knight
Falco
Wolf
Captain Falcon
Pokemon Trainer
Jigglypuff
Ike
Ness
Lucas
Game and Watch
Snake

to fill in the gaps. The space between Yoshi and Mario Kart is pretty fucking massive, so I'm hoping we get at least one or two veterans announced during that time span.

It would be great if Sakurai was able to announce Snake to coincide with the Ground Zeroes launch on March 20, but I highly doubt that's happening lol

Also, May 2 is the NA launch of Kirby: Triple Deluxe. Again, I doubt we'll get anything, but a Meta Knight announcement would be pretty cool.
 
Oh no! 17 cuts incoming!

I think mostly everyone will return, but I have my doubts with Lucas, Wolf, Ike and Snake. Very cool to see that picture though, we've come quite far.
 
This roster is really just brawl with newcomers....

It would be nice to see Mewtwo and Roy as returnees to shake things up.Game lacks Melee fanservice , needs bring things back from it.

Character or two , some stages and some of the modes like unique break the targets etc.

They're dropping subspace emissary. We don't know what single player options there are, or the details of how character movement feels. It's too early to write it off.
 
Ok so something non-Diddy related interests me in this pic:

What is Samus doing in this pic? I'm thinking it's some part of her back air animation, but at the same time it doesn't quite seem like it. This motion actually reminds me of her shine spark ability in the Metroid games.
 
Someone should update that comparison image with Diddy and Little Mac

Happy with this. I got some decent use out of Diddy in Brawl :)

It's just her attack mid-animation. Watch the Little Mac trailer where she does it and watch it frame-by-frame.

I think he just went with Diddy on the US release since Tropical Freeze's JP release was pre-empted by Little Mac, although we don't know how long ahead of time Sakurai knew that'd be the case...

So I don't think we'll have this happen again for Yoshi, or any NA release, unless another JP release is pre-empted for a newcomer.

Thank you for making this visual. I like it, I like it a lot!

I'm counting on every single one of those guys 100% aside from Snake. I just don't know the relationship between Sakurai and Kojima or their respective companies well enough to give a solid answer either way.

It's funny how with each reveal the "expected list of cuts" just gets smaller and smaller.

Right now it's Lucas, Wolf, Snake, Ike, Pokemon Trainer. Before, during and after E3 until Olimar was revealed it was Lucas, Wolf, Snake, Ike, Pokemon Trainer, Ice Climbers, Lucario, Toon Link. Hahaha. Lucario and Toon Link have been the sweetest mini victories for me.

Aint no body going no where.

Ah ok yeah I see it now. It just caught my eye is all.

I'm seriously thinking everyone from Brawl except Snake is going to return. Pretty cool actually :)
