Support NeoGAF

[gogojira]

I don't see a rigley in that polaroid.

Pic of the day. Victini and Xerneas are both support Pokémon. Victini's Victory Star boosts the attack of whoever throws the Poké Ball, and also prevents flinching. Xerneas's Geomancy increases the launch power of all fighters, but exceptionally raises it for whoever had the Poké Ball.

Nice POTD.

woah thats actually really cool

 

[Neiteio]

I really like the idea of support Pokémon.

Geomancy increasing launch power is great

 

[OricWindstar]

woah thats actually really cool

Yeah, the no flinching effect in particular sounds cool.

 

[Growlie19]

We finally know what Xerneas does, and a little extra on Victini's power.

Imagine a Geomancy-boosted Eruption, KO Uppercut, or Falcon Punch! Guaranteed KOs.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I really do like Xerneas' design. Love blue, why I got X.

 

[Neiteio]

I'm mainly glad Victini isn't yet another "whirlpool of flame" Pokémon

 

[SenorArdilla]

A loose interpretation of Geomancy and Victory Star. Xerneas seems to be taking a tip from Oprah with the whole "EVERYONE GETS A BOOST!"

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Use e-mail tags, I want to see.

I'm pretty sure it's on [QUOTE POST]

 

[sorakirosaki]

yeah the no flinching and the extra launch power really glad sakurai added some kind of stat boosting mechanic from the pokemon games man this game just keeps on giving lol

I LOVE that they chose this stage for smash! Best environment in XY IMO

 

[Tripon]

In before Xeneras is the only Pokemon allowed for competitive play.

 

[JediLink]

Gonna go with Pokéball Pokémon

How much do you know?

 

[Fandangox]

So Robin's nosferatu does more damage if hit from the back.

And know these too pokeball pokemon have buff moves.

Shulk is so close I can feel it.

 

[justchris]

That's really interesting.

Did anyone notice at the SDCC 3DS tournament that when Xerneas popped all the characters (the ones who survived anyway), ended up with red outlines? And if we remember from the Find Mii PotD, that Red outline means increased attack, so it seems like the colors of outlines each have a specific meaning.

 

[Makai]

Super armor? Xerneas is beast.

 

[Neiteio]

Super armor? Xerneas is beast.

Victini gives you super armor. Xerneas increases your launching power.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

OK, I REALLY have to get to bed right now, even though we're about to hit page 360/180, so I'm just going to make this my last call for the Thread Title Suggestion Box (QUOTE TO REVEAL LINK and all that), and shut it down and set up the poll when I get up. Unless we still aren't at 360/180 yet. Or something big happens and you guys manage to burn out the rest of this thread in the span of 8 hours.

That's actually a pretty decent point: why not have a character that showcases a new game mechanic?

Wii Fit Trainer's Deep Breathing move is also highly reminiscent of Xenoblade's timed b button prompts. Just missing the b button icon in the middle.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

Xerneas seems awesome and a good way to up the ante.

 

[C.Olimar788]

What a fun pic of the day! The Elite Four stage is really great.

I wonder if Victini is as rare as the event legendaries traditionally are? Its effect doesn't seem to warrant being that rare - but then again, neither did Manaphy's in Brawl.

Love this stage.

Just hoping that there isn't a stage boss...

 

[MAtgS]

I HATE that they still haven't properly unveiled this stage despite us knowing about it since April. What's the hold up?

 

[Dimitri LH]

Great POTD! Looks so good.


Now I wonder where Neit committed his unholy deeds.... >_>

Spoiler

And I aint talking about the boots either

 

[Speedwagon]

Damn that's a nice PotD. That stage is going to be the new FD.

i think it will depend on master ball frequencies vs regular pokeball frequencies i think

 

[Waluigilicious]

Anyone think they will add a "no-flinch" mode in the wacky multiplayer options? Seems like a bit of a waste if it was just with Victini!

 

[Hyperactivity]

Aren't clones just twins?

If I were to have a clone, the proper way to describe it iirc would be that I am the father of my twin

Dont want to stick around to see family trees have to take clones into account

 

[Nanashrew]

Aren't clones just twins?

Each are their own person!

Spoiler

I've been playing too much Tales of the Abyss.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Eh, Victini deserved FAR more

HE should've been OHKO'ing everything with VCreate, getting slower and easier to dodge per hit, and gradually you could get rid of him early by damage (ala ATs), he'd take more per connecting hit, although he can't take damage until after first connecting hit

Spoiler

I just really like Victini

 

[BGBW]

Is the eshop bag going to throw download progress beads at me?

That's his final smash!

Gorgeous.

Takes a ton of work and reduces it to copy+paste, thank you.

Cool. Didn't want to make too many in case I got the layout wrong. I'll look at the names people have given and put some more together later today.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

Well we already know it transforms into different halls in the E4. Id imagine maybe some pokemon appearing that were some of the elite 4s signature pokemon.

 

[BGBW]

I hope Sakurai never actually mentions the stage until after release.

 

[Speedwagon]

It'll be very surprising if it doesn't have an FD version at least.

I think we're looking at the FD version, are we not?

What?! CAN YOU KILL AT's?!

 

[Golnei]

What?! CAN YOU KILL AT's?!

Only the crap ones, like Starfy.

 

[Nanashrew]

My browser crashed a bit ago so I lost track of this thread so quick question. Has Anth0ny posted his write up on his time with Smash 4 yet? If he has can someone link it?

 

[Toxi]

After 100%ing Prime Trilogy, I thought it was only appropriate that I 100% the other Wii Metroid.

Spoiler

And by that I mean Metroid Prime 3. :-D

 

[Makai]

Bill vs. Scar

I hadn't seen this before. Even more hilarious than Bill vs. Toph

 

[Dimitri LH]

Wasnt it confirmed that Magnus could be hit too? Im guessing long lasting AT can get hit.

 

[Zevenberge]

That's a bummer. Ah well, assist massacre it is!

It's like reverse pokemon

 

[Speedwagon]

Yeah, but if it transforms or has Pokemon appearing, then the FD version would just exclude that.

 

[OricWindstar]

Apparently in Smash 4, you can damage all of them. I think there's footage of someone fighting off Magnus.

 

[Boss Doggie]

stop 504ing gaf

It's like reverse pokemon

nomekop?

 

[Makai]

Scar actually does some nice combos on Bill in the second round.

The link's broken! I want to see some Bill D:
