Reggie the celebrity.

He walked right in front of me last year when I was in line to play Link Between Worlds. He was pretty intense.

THERE'S HIT STUN

Marth's Dancing Blade is more like Melee in timing

YAAAAAAS

 

[Hyperactivity]

Is REd in Charizard's final smash?
Need confirmation

 

[jwluther]

I'm hoping with that Mother tease in the Digital Event, that our mystery 3DS game tonight is a remake or new Mother game. Just in time for a Ness/Lucas reveal!

3DS game is tomorrow night.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Wii U version feels like a better Brawl but not Melee.

About to play the 3DS version, feel like the competitive scene needs to step up and ask for basics like dash dancing, the lag on character turn arounds is really awkward.

That's what everyone expected all along, though, isn't it? A middle ground between Melee and Brawl? Seems like dash dancing, wavedashing, l-canceling, etc. are gone from Smash for good.

Why should he be? He abandoned poor Abby.

Shiny!

Perfection

too lazy to see if this was posted earlier

So jealous of people getting to play it right now.

Tee hee hee

Welp.

Is Charizard in the demo?

 

[megarockexe]

Explain hitstun.
Why is it a big deal?

 

[SuperSah]

Anyone trying the 3DS game:

How is 3D?

It looks INCREDIBLE. Shame about the delay!

Shiny Greninja is all black (the yellow parts on normal Greninja are black on the shiny), but close enough

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

Explain hitstun.
Why is it a big deal?

One word: combos

 

[Revven]

Was the actual speed ever really a problem though? If there's hit stun and no tripping, does it really matter how fast it moves?

It's more the physics really. Floatier physics leads to less follow-ups being possible and also less ability to chain aerials on the ground quickly (aka SHFFLing in Melee).

BUT I will wait to see the Invitational before making any quick judgments.

NO!

IT'S LIKE MY PARENTS ARE FIGHTING

 

[Tookay]

Explain hitstun.
Why is it a big deal?

I'm not a big fighting game person, but it means that a character, when hit, is temporarily stunned, so that they can be combo'd.

Which is pretty much the basis for depth in most fighting games.

 

[OricWindstar]

3DS game is tomorrow night.

Ah, I thought they were both today. Thanks!

 

[megarockexe]

And Brawl didn't have this? I can't quite remember the difference.

 

[Greenzxy]

Oh my god, I did not expect wavebouncing to be in.

Huh, wasn't wavebouncing in brawl? I don't see the big deal.

 

[Beelzebufo]

And Brawl didn't have this? I can't quite remember the difference.

No, not really. You were more or less immediately able to move after being hit, excdept at really high percentages.

 

[R0ckman]

Gotta go out and buy Xenoblade C before it jumps up in price (I only have the Europe version). If Shulk is revealed and then we have the new game, I'll really be fucked. I hated that spike on Luigi's Mansion.

 

[Revven]

Huh, wasn't wavebouncing in brawl? I don't see the big deal.

Yeah it was. It's not really shocking at all when they basically started from Brawl as a basis.

No, not really. You were more or less immediately able to move after being hit, excdept at really high percentages.

Not correct. Doesn't matter what % you're at or how much knockback you take in Brawl, you will always be able to air dodge after 13 frames and attack after 25 frames -- effectively canceling out hitstun in both cases.

The combo finishing moves are such a great addition, I love it

 

[Greenzxy]

Yea, that's what I thought. :S

 

[TomShoe]

I'm one of those other 2. I don't remember exactly how much, but I think the terms were the same for all of us.

Probably. I'll try and track down the third, guy, so send me a PM when you can.

 

[BGBW]

You're seriously starting to scare me.

Just starting to?

 

[Hot Coldman]

next thread title needs to be about hitstun

holy shit

 

[SkullHydra]

Anti-Palutena? For shame.

 

[PreyingShark]

Huh, wasn't wavebouncing in brawl? I don't see the big deal.

It made no sense from a physics standpoint and was something that, going by the Melee -> Brawl transition, I expected to be taken out. I doubt it was put in the game intentionally.

So it still being in is a bit surprising.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

not sure where the hell I heard it but is there a Smash Direct at any point tonight? or just the tournament? I haven't been following anything.

 

[Not]

Who is that blue haired chick?

I think it's good Cia

Tournament and then a roundtable, but I don't think that will be streamed.

From smashboards:
"I hope they pay this translator good money, he's so good going back and forth between the English and Japanese."

Sakurai's gonna have a Smash presentation from 7:00 - 8:30 PST tonight I believe. Then there's gonna be a new unannounced 3DS game tomorrow too.

Something about a round table discussion with more Smash news?

Someone pleeeease gif Samus getting screen K.O.

 

[mrhej]

I'm surprised how much I like the Mii Fighters. I like how they are implemented and not just Wii Sports.

Also Reggie confirmed on IGN's Steam there's more info to come during the tournament and roundtable discussion.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

thanks bros looking forward to it. so happy about palutena.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Tee hee hee
