SmashGAF is its own post-accelerator.
I was finishing a Law assingment, actually.

Who said that this picture is 200th? I would like to point out that today is 190th picture according to people who counted by daily images.

Tsk tsk. Should have had that completed the night before.
I should of, but I didn't.
Every one is beating up Samus lately :/
Pic of the day. Now consecutive standard attacks will always transition into a finishing move. This is Fox's finishing kick after his standard combo attack.

Nice! Where was it said that many players probably didn't consider Bowser a powerful character? And that something was being done to remedy that? Was it some interview? I know it wasn't a pic of the day.
Maybe she likes it
Is that you Sakamoto?
That would explain that one lava section in Other M, at least...

Has anyone pointed out yet that we've actually seen this new A-combo change before? You can see it clearly in Little Mac's trailer, 1:20. He hits Fox with rapid punches and, after a handful of attacks, finishes with an uppercut. Most people (myself included) assumed this was him comboing into a tilt or a smash - but with this update explaining, it's obvious this is the kind of "finishing move" Sakurai is talking about.
I think it's an interesting change. Obviously it's put into place to avoid things like jab locks and just wailing on opponents repeatedly with the same move for damage, instead placing emphasis on combos and the like. I wonder if that means the Fan will see significant changes or be cut entirely? After all, its basic purpose was to mash A to wail on opponents in the very way this change removes.

Poor Samus, all she wants to do is fight for love.
I wouldn't say its the biggest change so far, the ledge stealing/priority seemed way more significant. That said its hard to say how both of these changes will affect the game until it is out.
Fixed
Today's? I think the edge stuff had bigger implications, probably.
In either case, we don't really know how new mechanics work, just that they changed.

It's the biggest mechanic change that doesn't completely suck, then.
Gosh I hate the ledge change nonsense. Probably the biggest strike against SSB4 so far for me.

Well, I'm glad the infinites are getting changed up. They were either completely useless (Falcon, Fox, Kirby) or completely broken (Falco, Sheik).
What's so bad about it?

Do you honestly think that we will get other character reveal tomorrow? I meant we already have two characters this months and I can't really see them revealing three characters in row.
I thought it was going to be great at first. Then I thought it was going to be awful. Now I realize that we have no idea how it actually works. He says something to the effect of 'oh yeah ledge invincibility changes with factors x and y...' but doesn't say in which directions it's proportional to what.
Edit:
Have we ever actually had reveals because of anniversaries? Maybe we have, I honestly don't remember any.

The way I see it, best case scenario it effectively removes edgehogging against tether characters. Worst case scenario is effectively removed edgehogging from the game entirely. I made a long post on the matter a while back, here, if you care to see my reasoning.
Although this is true as well. I've already jumped to a lot of conclusions based on what little Sakurai has said about the edge changes, and maybe everything I've said on the matter will turn out to be completely wrong! I kinda hope so, considering all of my conclusions have been pretty pessimistic.

Clearly Furry!Pac-Man at the bottom there needs to be a costume.
No kidding. On the other hand, that makes browsing through the pages really quick.
That's been happening now-and-then. There actually hasn't been a clean image all week; last one was the Diddy announcement.Interestingly, there is no watermark-less version:
Let's hope TPP beats the Elite 4 by the-hahahaha as if that'd ever happen
Ah I see. I doubt it would remove edgehogging entirely, but its hard to pinpoint what Sakurai meant exactly. Didn't he also mention something about how long the character was on the air would affect the edge-triumphs??

Tonight will be nothing but Mewtwo posts. And Sakurai will fake us out by revealing Riolu.
I can relate to this. After Brawl, I don't have much faith in the decision maker(s) that's designing these games (in terms of core mechanics anyway). And the edge aspect is an easy one to mess up.
Not really, but Pokémon is one of their bigger franchises so I don't see why they wouldn't celebrate it. He might just show some PokéBall Pokémon though.

Maybe we'll finally get a Pokemon stage? I'd be interested to see what we're getting from that franchise. It has so many wonderful iconic places to choose from... and the last couple of Smash Bros. have mostly just made up random locations.

Falco and Sheik's jabs aren't broken by any stretch
This.

I think we have to take into consideration characters like pikachu and Mr G&W where they just have one A button which they can spam continuously, unless given a specific example by sakurai we dont know if those moves are changed and if this even effects the fan
Yup, none of them are. Even in corners they aren't broken. Anyone stuck in them must not know that you can press directions to move away.
I think that this game, the team is focusing on keeping momentum in the matches. So no sitting around in an attack loop, no planking (stalling by bouncing on and off the ledge to keep invincibility, etc.
We're going back to offensive smash instead of defense and Metaknight.

We won't get a single character revealed tomorrow.
We'll get three, Squirtle, Charizard and Ivysaur
I'd love to see Mewtwo though.
The SmashGAF prophets speak true... eventually

I liked last night's update! Any details Sakurai wants to share about the new mechanics to the game is fine by me.
