Not a big deal. I was just letting you know in a playful way.



So on an unrelated note after talking to my flatmate about the possibilities of Excite biker as a character and I just got really hyped about it so I will give you the cliff notes:

The question came up on what would make him hard to implement and the big one that dawned on me other than ramps needing to be on the stages, is how would he behave in the air and in a helpless state/ off stage since he'd be constantly on a bike?

Interesting right? Well my solution would be that if he gets hit hard enough, he gets dismounted and tumbles like he wrecked in his game. That would make his gimmick about getting back onto his motorbike ASAP, as he would have weak and limited attacks while on foot. Another idea would be that he could have a magnetic effect so when close enough to his bike, he would latch back on from a distance, with a rolling animation from when he wrecks in excitebike?

I think the best way to implement excitebiker would be to go with a 3d reimagining of his 8bit self but with game & watch style frame skips for some of his animations. (Tumbling helpless state, rolls, mounting his bike etc.)


As an aside: while on foot, his attacks would be simple neutral jabs, weak low kicks and as a strong side attack he could maybe take his helmet off for a bash attack. His smash attacks wouldn't be chargeable on foot to encourage you to re mount his bike for the real and powerful move set.


Well.. What do you think, SmashGAF?

I am also in the minority that thinks excitebiker would be awesome and totally unique! I actually really like that idea and think it makes for another unique fighting style. There is precedence for characters that have weak attacks when their gimmick is taken Away (ice climbers when there is only one, Oliver with no pikmin, probably Rosalind without the luma). Nice idea, since my most wanted newcomers were only little Mac and mega man I'll join the Longshot team that is excite biker!

Wooo! #TeamExcitebiker for lyfe.


Good point on the precedent set by olimar, ice climbers, & potentially rosalina. I suppose we could add PT to the list with the forced switch out stamina gimmick but hopefully that is gone or tweaked in sm4sh. I am glad you like my idea so much though I was just spit balling. Maybe I will refine it sometime.

Did someone say character reveal tonight?!

Yes, mostly because good things almost always or result from Friday POTDs and the challenger banner on the main site has been taken down for a few days now but mostly just general hypeage. My bet is a veteran or maybe a stage instead since we've had such a drought.

Unique Movesets or GTFO. #TeamExcite
 
Ha, I feel you: trying to do that by expecting the seemingly inevitable Vanilla Google Chrome instead of an awesome Awakening mechanics inspired newcomer from F.E

Pic of the day. Here's a new stage for the 3DS version: Tortimer Island! I've been here countless times to catch bugs.

What a beautiful day. On this stage, fighters are randomly placed on a different island layout every time they visit. Yar, come back anytime, will ye?
 
Was looking at the last 2 weeks of POTD and we have had quite a huge uninterrupted block of shiny new stuff. Lets see: frlm 02/24-03/06 Starting with Diddy having more of a horizontal rocket barrel recovery to Little Mac's 3 part Side Smash, with the only did being on 03/05, w/ DeDeDe's jet hammer explanation (but to be fair, Sakurai acted like he thought it was valuable info)

I am 75% sure we get a veteran reveal tonight to cap it off, then a draught.

It's to make up for the fact that starting Monday it'll be later than normal

Edit: I noticed that in the second pic, there's a stump instead of the tree. Does the stage design vary per match, or can the Villager change the layout of this particular stage?

Edit 2: My question was answered below
 
Nice, it isn't a floating platform! Yaaay. Makes you wonder where the Cpt. comes into play though. I have a feeling that tree there with the fruit is interactive , too.
 
Ooh, comment on the 2nd pic says the stage is randomized somewhat each time you play on it. O.o

Lmao at his cap'n speak



Edit; DAMN, Ninjied
 
Oh cool, now with the comment as context , I see the difference in island layout between the 2 pics. The little plateau the hut is on is smaller in the 2nd one and the rose bush is further to the right.
