In honor of the terrible Metroid sale on the eShop today I bring you this.

According to someone in other thread, they could backtracked with their mistakes. *shrugs* I don't really care either way.
Wow that is really awful. Not even Super.

How does he compare to his Melee self? Specifically his spin attack. In Brawl it was pathetically weak and too long and didn't have that satisfying knockback it had in Melee (and 64)
I would say almost of Zero value, but then that might make me even more sad.
Looking so damn good. I love, love, love how many options that Robin has. S/he's got good approach tools, good zoning tools, reliable kill and edgeguard options. Ridiculously versatile with a bunch of tricks for every occasion. A little bummed that his/her customs aren't a little more creative, though. Would have been amazing to alter specials into entirely different tomes (maybe changing Elfire to Bolganone, :lol) and it looks like Robin's are pretty simple instead. That said, can't really see the downsides of the stronger Thoron custom, so I'll probably pick that and Nosferatu 3 (since healing seems a bit redundant when you live so long anyways).
That video rocking the best palette, too. <3
Also, couple things that the video doesn't address, I don't think: Robin's jab finisher isn't dependent on the last tome you used. If you hold the A button down for your finisher, it'll come out as Excalibur/the wind slashes, if you just tap it, it'll finish as a Fire spell, which I think comes out faster and your opponent can't really escape it. Finishers use tomes, though, so that's something else to keep in mind. Although, the tomes (and Levin Sword) that s/he drops when expended do pretty good damage and knockback. Apparently, 14% for the tomes and 12% for the Levin Sword, and they can kill around 140-150% when thrown (although not accounting for vectoring, likely).
maaaaan i'm so excited for robin
His Up Special is a very reliable off-stage kill tool (at around 110%), I've found, assuming your opponent doesn't airdodge through it.
That was them backtracking. They originally said that DLC was announced, then they backtracked to say that it was just patches/updates via spotpass. So, the conquest stuff that was already announced.

I wouldn't say no to character DLC but I'd be completely fine with some great alt costumes :x
Been a while since I've played Melee, but Skraaa is stronger than Brawl both on the ground and in the air and doesn't last as long on the ground.

I have a weird feeling that Nintendo were yelling at them for slipping out the DLC information and urge them to covering it up with statements, "We were talking about Patches and update."

said the person not using the Anna avatar *glares*
lol
I've noticed nobody has really used Rosalina at all so far
So I posted this on Makai's stream chat yesterday, and gonna post it here. It's about VI (is that what Smashboards decided on?) and KOing.
I think those times where the red lightning bolt appears, but doesn't KO is because of good VI. And when you get KOs without the red lightning bolt is from bad VI.
This refers to KOs where you have enough knockback to launch them vertically or horizontally.
I think it is safe to say the CPUs in the game do VI to avoid KOs.
Super was available on Club Nintendo as a reward a month or 2 ago lol.

Is Fusion at least on sale?

pls, you don't tell someone with an Ibuki avatar to change it.

They probably save her for legit tournament since she's broken. ;P
Is VI similar to DI?
Oh, that's a good theory. That would make a lot of sense, actually. And yeah, I'd assume AIs use "VI" or whatever we're calling it. It's easy to program and there's no reason for them not to. Of course, they probably only use it to avoid death and not to avoid combos.
It's different, it adds or substracs to the amount of knockback an attack has, as opposed to just influencing the direction.
Here's a post explaining it in detail:
http://smashboards.com/threads/vectoring-the-replacement-to-directional-influence-in-smash-4.368780/
Yes, but now you can influence in all directions, rather than just perpendicular to trajectory.
The Mother series is the only thing I can think of that even slightly fits the "Nintendo series popular in Japan but not in the west" but that's kind of debatable at this point.
I have a question: do all your coins transfer from the Smash demo? I heard a rumour it was only 500...
That's definitely debatable. I'd actually say the Mother series is just as much a cult classic in Japan as it is here.
That's going to be me day day one. I'm good at Smash, but there are people out there that are crazy good at it. So don't feel bad.

Fire Emblem?

I dunno Awakening sold around a million in the west by now, seems decently popular enough here.

Fire Emblem is popular over here now thanks to awakening I'm pretty sure.

Anything before FE6 is pretty much ignored in the west though, especially Marth's games.
As for Mother, I remember reading Japanese fans' actually showing backlash to Mother 3 (compared to its highly elevated status here in the west), but I can't remember the source.

I don't know if it Awakening's even sold 1 million worldwide. I think it's western sales were more like 200k
Definitely sold more than a million world-wide. Awakening was incredibly successful by FE's standards.
More like 400k, and that's being generous.
Very interesting, thanks. I knew something was different; I didn't suddenly get good at DI.

you guys are joking right, it's done ~450k in the US alone and that's with some pretty outdated NPD+digital figures
Oh ok, I'm actually surprised it had such long legs then!
Where are you getting the digital # from?

Playing the demo.
QUESTION:
Sometimes when I do a smash attack, big lightning bolts shoot out and the other player flies off the screen mighty quickly.
What is that?
[I feel like there was a pic-of-the-day about it once, but I don't remember.]

Nintendo usually does digital+physical in the press releases to make it sound like more.
There's also this. Famitsu readers ranked EarthBound as the fifth best Nintendo game and Mother as the twenty-third best, but Mother 3 didn't place at all.
It's just a visual effect that indicates that attack is probably going to KO.

ah. alright, cool, thanks.
For the most part this means that the person hit will almost certainly be KO'd, not 100%, but pretty likely
I used to find paying attention to anything on the second screen difficult. Then I bought a 2DS.

Yeah I looked later. I was thinking of launch sales
If you want to test VI on the demo, have a level 9 Mega Man on omega mode. Use a character (I used Mario). Jump in the air and just VI (up or down on the circle pad all the way) and let Mega Man hit you with up airs and up smashes. It had about a 30% difference in terms of percentage for an up smash to KO. This is also affected by move staling which affects knockback.
EDIT: I forgot to post this lol.
That means they are likely going to be KO'd.
EDIT: I forgot to post this lol.
Zelda OoT placed second? And here I thought Zelda wasn't that popular in Japan... :/
