yeah, my brother said there's probably potential for that move for villager players. something we've yet to discover yet.

People are probably just going to use it for stage control and to use the axe if it's one of villager's KO moves.

I think the fact that it wilts is a bad idea though, it should atleast take longer than it currently does.


I imagine it's one of those 'good in FFA when noone is paying attention to what you're doing, worse in every other mode' moves.

It'll be a great obstacle for players trying to recover to a stage's ledge.

 

[Cosmic Dreams]

that's the thing though. it wilts really quick, and the set up takes some time.

[backlot]

I wonder if there's enough time to plant a tree after a KO.

I haven't seen any footage of it wilting. Anyone happen to have footage?

In the invitational, I thought. I'll try to make a gif.

Edit, not invitational: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd0Z8jQ__QQ&list=UUGIY_O-8vW4rfX98KlMkvRg#t=649

 

[IntelliHeath]

Also I saw that during Comic Con Stream as well. Villager hid behind the tree and taunted. Bam, tree got wilted which allowed opponent to attack villager when he was taunting.

The rabbit is alive!? HOW?? :O (so people can come back to life...)

 

[Ahnez]

How long does it take to the sprout wilt?

If there's one thing I'm looking forward to in terms of youtube videos for smash 4, it's watching tryhard kids post their combo videos where they just do a load of moves on a motionless AI that don't actually combo against real player.

I mean, who can forget the devastating super combo that is PK Fire + Baseball bat.




...Now I really want to do parodies of this shit but in smash 4.

Hmm, I must've missed it.

 

[georly]

Just timed it in the video, it's about 12 seconds from full growth to wilting.

 

[Berordn]

the real meaning of afoni lives on inside us all

I haven't found any scans yet, but apparently this week's Famitsu article focuses on Rosalina (including her down special customizations), and Sakurai talks about the game speed in his column.

Haha, that's interesting. I want to know more about Sakurai's stance on game speed.

Now THIS, I'm interested in.


...Unless he says he's changed the game speed to be more like Brawl based on fan input.

Interesting..

I will look for it

 

[Lunar15]

Y'know, back when there were discussions about Robin's potential to be a newcomer, I thought to myself "eh, I don't find that terribly appealing". But now that he's been announced and I've seen what Sakurai came up with, I feel that he's one of the most exciting additions to the cast.

Sakurai does wonders with characters. I remember seeing Pit in brawl and was kind of annoyed. "Who's this kingdom hearts reject?", flash forward to Kid Icarus: Uprising, and now I absolutely love that Pit is in smash.

In all honesty, he could probably make me like a playable duck hunt dog, much to my chagrin.

 

[User 73706]

I wonder if there's enough time to plant a tree after a KO.

Yeah, I was kind of thinking it'd be like ROB being able to fully-charge his Gyro during the invincibility frames on spawn. You'd be giving up movement or aggressive pressuring in favor of getting a special loaded pre-emptively.

 

[Myn]

I personally think it'd be cool if Villager's custom down specials were fruit trees that you can shake instead of chop down, and each fruit has a special property when thrown.

 

[georly]

That's how I felt about pac-man. Still think he's a dumb character, but sakurai made him kinda charming.

Sakurai and team are magic. They can make any video game character appealing somehow.

 

[IntelliHeath]

But Pac Man already took that move so.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Just timed it in the video, it's about 12 seconds from full growth to wilting.

Can't people just walk through it too, or am I imagining that?

 

[The Great Gonzales]

That's a great idea. You know, I hadn't thought at all about Villager's custom moves. It's easy enough to imagine various tweaks for the Lloid Rocket, but what about the Pocket? Maybe instead of keeping the item to throw later, he could absorb it to restore some HP, like the PK Magnet.

This. I thought Pac-Man in smash would be stupid, but here I am, kind of liking how the team pulled it off.

 

[JoeInky]

You can plant the tree inbetween KO's but it wilts so fast that that would be practically useless.

 

[Myn]

How does the sequence of the tree move go? Do you D+B to plant it, D+B to water it and D+B again to cut it?

 

[Ahnez]

I imagine there are some moves that cannot be customized, like the pocket and the KO punch

 

[wheapon]

I dunno man, people thought that about the kirby suck too and look how that went. I'm eagerly anticipating the customization of the pocket.

 

[Anth0ny]

Hey did AnthOny make his write up?

I would have done one myself since I did play hours and hours of both versions but he can probably voice things like mechanics and stuff way better than I can.

I'm watching Guardian of the Galaxy tonight, but I think I might have part 1 up before tomorrow's POTD. Fingers crossed.

 

[Beelzebufo]

You could still even have customization for them. Like have pocket only reflect or only store items (which can't be used again), or have the standard version of Mac's B move change, but have the KO punch show up when the meter's full regardless.

Every special has 3 customisations.

 

[georly]

[Lunar15]

One of the pocket customizations is a pure reflect because the pocket is full of sea bass.

Makes sense..

Can I make Marth's Fair good again? Please...?

 

[Berordn]

Can I make Marth's Fair good again? Please...?

silly goose, that's not a special

 

[IntelliHeath]

Can I make Marth's Fair good again? Please...?

Special as all B moves. Fair and Grab should stay nerfed

 

[Myn]

You could still even have customization for them. Like have pocket only reflect or only store items (which can't be used again)

I guess an instant reflect sounds cool (Pocket is considered a reflect move, it's just that you control whenever you send something back) but storing items and not being able to use them sounds useless compared to the normal Pocket attack. It'd have to have perks like catching items I guess? But that would make it unfair to make a move that counters and neuters items.

 

[Spinluck]

You will take Lucina and you will like it.

 

[Kriken]

could probably convert caught attacks/items into health or something

 

[Spinluck]

What, you mean you DON'T want this?

Marth's nerf isn't even that bad.

It's not like Sakurai Captain Falcon'd him.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Ooh, that's a good idea too. Like Ness's down B but for most moves.

 

[Anura]

Edit: also I know it was special only and was kidding

What, you mean you DON'T want this?

I'm going to miss that so much...

 

[PadWarrior]

Anthony must be writing 50 shades of smash lol

 

[Hatchtag]

Captain Falcon and Ganondorf should be good in SSB4, hopefully. They were so damn bad in Brawl that they need to make up to us somehow.

 

[SuperSah]

Gonna be one heck of a story.
