I kinda preferred the non-jazzed up look to all the old items In fact, I liked the Raygun most back when it sounded like a revolver and hit like a truck

 

[Mory Dunz]

God... that face... lol.

lol, how have I not seen this GIF?
And how come it isn't used more? I see a lot of potential...

 

[Aostia]

ohgawd how awful are those zoomeedin12456789000000X textures!!!

pfff

I hate mines, btw

 

[Immaculate]

saw this on 4chan

 

[BGBW]

They forgot to view it in the 3DS' web browser. Why give it off screen blur but not take the photo actually off screen?

Realest thing I've ever seen.

 

[HatsuneMiku]

Fake or not, i love that color scheme on Captain Falcon.

 

[GamerSoul]

much clones
such blur
wow


Some of these items are looking really out there. The mine now looks like space pirate alien tech or something.

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

Not convincing at all.

Got nothing on that palutena pic. Also dat blur.

Liking the new mine look and I hope it stays active forever like in melee instead of disappearing after a while like in brawl.

 

[Dimitri LH]

Geez I was not being serious about the texture guys, I could care less how it looks zoomed in. As long as it looks great from a normal point of view then its good for me.


About the 4chan pic: Well....I would like to believe it but look at their shadows on teh ground. Ganons seem off.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

If only there were some designs after the nineties we could use as a reference...

Yeah, I'm not seeing a substantial improvement. Dat outie.

As for the 4chan... okay. Cap Falcon and Ganondorf will almost definitely be in, so... okay.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

You are free to see what you want, but I see a character that would fit right in with a cast of Nintendo characters, and has already done just that.

We already have Donkey Kong's greatest nemesis as a playable character anyway dude.

Stanley?

Smash needs more villains and Rool would be a good fit.

I agree on the villains front though. I know it's unlikely Kid Icarus gets three reps (but Star Fox did, and it hasn't been relevant in years!), but I want Hades so bad.

Is there any NES era character that hasn't pummeled the shit out of DK?

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

I don't know... Mario looks like he is making Donkey Kong happy. Look at this Stanley fellow get under DK's skin.

Finally!

Someone made the blurriest pic known to man!

Both of these posts are under the false assumption that Smash Bros. DK is Donkey Kong '81 and '94 DK.

If that thing was just lineart Donkey Kong would be lewd

I had to google what meatal stenosis means, and now I understand your statement. That it is.

 

[Kouriozan]

So I'm just gonna point this out:

with the minor exception of weeks after a character reveal we've had a running pattern of:

1. stage related update
1. gameplay/move related update
1. "character" related update (either playable, assist or stage hazard)
1. item update

+ 1 mystery update that's either a double or something new/different

for essentially every week since +- Rosalina's reveal.

More and more reveal per week only mean one thing....Summer release confirmed!
Come on late August!

 

[NotLiquid]

I always thought the it was a Perfect Dark reference. Guess not?

Perfect dark.

Melee

In the Japanese version of Melee the Perfect Dark design was used. In the western versions they reverted it back to the Proximity Mine design from Goldeneye which was also used in SSB64. They could never explicitly say where it's origins stem from, either a mixture of Nintendo not having the rights to 007, Rare being in the middle of their buyout or just not wanting to have any connotations to M-rated games.

Despite that, Perfect Dark is still mentioned in the credits of Melee.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Mine continues the trend of bad item designs.

Can't wait to see how they screw up the hammer.

 

[UncleSporky]

or the Restroom hole in that DK stage in Melee.

What is this?

 

[georly]

Mine continues the trend of bad item designs.

Hammer comes from Donkey Kong. Most of the redesigned items were 'Smash bros' items. As in, they don't come from a particular series. The motion sensor bomb were originally from Goldeneye/perfect dark, but smash never actually made reference to that fact, so in brawl they kinda claimed it as their own item, as they are doing here.

 

[Kriken]

So we got the return of the motion sensor bomb with a redesign and meh texture? I'm okay with this, it's not like I'm ever going to have the screen as close up as this screenshot anyways and the redesign seems to fit the feel of the game just fine.

 

[DaBoss]

While people whine about textures of zoomed up shots, does anyone know where the hell that thing is supposed to be in the stage?

EDIT: Seems to be on the left side of the "bridge". This stage seems so big.

Bad item design? I can't really see it so can you explain why it seem to be bad design?

Either we're going to start getting a character reveal every other week now or a lot of people are being cut, if that's the case.

Assuming that they're showing all hidden characters, right?

 

[DaBoss]

This stage is so big that this is the first time we've seen the blue/white thing in a screenshot. We saw it in the video though.

EDIT: Oh, the second time it seems.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Cracked ceramic teacup or bowl

People speculated that it might be a really huge stage or rotation stage.

Odd thing about the screenshot is that it had the ropes that are attached to that item, but your picture shown that it's not.

Cause the ropes are attached to this, not the cup.

 

[Beelzebufo]

I'm pretty sure it's just a large stage with rope platforms/pits on each side. Somebody mapped it out, as far as I know there's been nothing to suggest it's otherwise since. It'll probably end up neutral/counter pick

 

[Boss Doggie]

Bad item design? I can't really see it so can you explain why it seem to be bad design?

Also note that this version of MSB is apparently smaller.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Oh yeah. You're right.

I'm pretty sure it's just a large stage with rope platforms/pits on each side. Somebody mapped it out, as far as I know there's been nothing to suggest it's otherwise since. It'll probably end up neutral/counter pick

I recalled the fact that someone did made the map. I hope that guy would repost here if he is still posting here.

Also note that this version of MSB is apparently smaller.

Yep. I'm glad so it would make it harder for people to notice where it is.

 

[Azure J]

Didn't Neorice map the full stage out? I can't find the image though.

 

[Beelzebufo]

I found the one I was thinking of (taken from Neoriceisgood a few threads back):

[BigEvilTurtle]

Looks pretty cool! I wonder if it'll blink red or if it's truly very hard to detect this time around.

 

[Kouriozan]

Ugh, if Sakurai decide the reveal all the hidden characters again T_T
Just show the starting roster + some obvious hidden but not everyone please.

 

[Beelzebufo]

The only unlockable characters he revealed were Snake and Sonic, the others were hidden.

I love seeing the progression of the items in this series.

 

[georly]

This will be the first time he reveals 'all' the hidden characters. He's never done it before. He's revealed so many people so far that i dont think any will be unknown at launch, but who knows. In the age of the internet, everyone will find out anyway on day one, if they want to. The way he's doing it means everyone will find out whether they want to or not, though.
