Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread XV: Kübler-Ross Edition

Apparently sweetspot Uair with Yoshi has electric effects...? Not sure if he's just describing it incorrectly or what because that sounds really unbelievable and strange. He also said Yoshi's Usmash is as strong as Fox's from Melee. o_O (For reference, Fox's Usmash can KO most characters under 100% in Melee).

I think he means the lightning background effect that happens when you hit someone with a strong attack.
 
Do we have a clearer idea of how stale moves work? More like Melee or Brawl?

No idea yet. I don't think you could really test out stale moves in an environment like this -- that sounds like something for next weekend and over the course of week 1. It took a lot of testing and research to figure out how stale moves worked in Brawl, I don't doubt it'll take the same amount of effort this time around.
 
It is day two of impressions. Take care not to indulge too much in character power level talk.

Of course, I'm not putting much stock into overall "grading" of characters yet especially since it's doubtful they get a lot of time with them in these matches. This stuff is only good for raw stuff like how strong a move is, apparent range, the 'feel' of the character (run speed and jumps) and how their specials may or may not differ from previous entries.

Next week when a lot of the comp. players have the Japanese version and stream it will provide way more insight and concrete information.
 
Momentum from running still doesn't transfer over into your jump. I wasn't expecting that to change but it still bums me out :(
 
Somewhere out there, aMSa currently plots world domination

RISE OF THE RED YOSHI

I just want pictures of costumes. As a trivia fan vs a mechanics fan, power description don't really do it for me.

Also my prediction of who character 7 in Xenoblade was correct, having now got them.

Were you having difficulty with areas or have you been doing all the side quests?

The boxart spoils who Seven is, so I wouldn't say it's very hard to guess.
 
D.K, Ganondorf, Link, Ganondorf, Diddy, and I'm sure a whole lot more.

Ganondorf has the most fun playstyle in the Smash Bros. series.
As for Diddy, DK, and Link, just because not every single move is from a game of theirs doesn't mean they're not getting love. Plus, Link and DK seem to be getting buffs out the wuzzoo and Diddy's already been damn good in Brawl.

Whoa, that's good. I might give Yoshi another chance this time.

This just makes zero sense to me.

Super Mario Bros from 25 years ago has this feature. You run faster, you jump farther. It makes sense and it just feels proper.
 
So much hype. This game comes out days Before I leave on a 30 hour flight. I know what I'm doing for pretty much the entire trip.

Maybe not every move, but I'd expect DK and Diddy to at least have more than 2 (Not counting their final smashes). Fakedorf shouldn't even be in the game if they won't give him a half decent moveset.

Side quests. Lots of side quests.


I've been sporting the reverse cover a long time now. Can't even remember the other side.

That's the cover I was talking about.
 
Yeh but personally was hoping for a blonde Palutena in some form.

Since I saw these Photoshops:

I remember these being done on Smashboards. Really awesome work and I'll be sad when we don't get simmilar results (at least Viridi is a lock it seems.)

RIP in peace, even Lighter Goddess of Light

Same here, mechanics are less interesting to me than how I can play dress up.
not being sarcastic here.
:)

Congrats on completing the party
Now where do you stand on the whole Seven vs. Melia debate? This is crucial and the fate of your future hinges on your answer.
 
Side b? Is that the Dash? Well that nice that you can get out of it in the air at least then heh. Not going to be a fan if Fox is apparently weaker than in brawl through.

No, Side B is the head slam that puts you into the ground like the Pitfall in Brawl.

Anyway, more tweets.

pacman is a bit slow but has anaIng aerials and side b has invincibility and is a tad hard to direct.

Ike is the same but faster up smash and up b hoes a bit higher

pacmans down b pits down a fire hydrant and of true under him in the air and you use down b it spikes

I was aiming that more at the folks who have already convinced themselves that their main is bad.

My bad but Let them. Once they found out that their characters are way better than what they heard. They should get a great feeling about it right?

I wish I could say same thing with Phoenix Wright but I still main him in my secondary team.

That's the cover I was talking about.

DK and Diddy don't have a lot to draw from without changing their entire playstyle. DK's meant to be an agile but heavy grappler, and Diddy an annoying spacing type character. Sure, there's moves they could draw from their series, but there aren't many that'd work well with their playstyle. In fact, most characters are like this. They don't come from fighting games, so they have to tweak and make up moves to work well in Smash. But I think they do a good job with what they do, and overall stay very true their characters.

And you'd rather just not have a character in the game than have him in the game with a playstyle people already enjoy?
 
I think Sakurai achieved his goal of this game.

These impressions are outstanding.

All the characters are really getting their deserved love.

Big well done to Sakurai and his team, the love poured into this is hugely prominent.
Except for Marth, Sonic, and Ike apparently haha
