Spoiler

[ffdgh]

Did nintendo everything's website just die? Did we kill it?

Yeah. Poor site can't take the hype XD.

[Nintendojitsu]

So did no CoroCoro leaks happen at all?

EDIT: GUESS THEY DID!

Next months issue. - Seribii

 

[Anth0ny]

Is that Tharja alt colors for Lucina I see?

 

[Revven]

Can someone explain why this would be a huge problem for competitive play? Would it elevate Mega Man to a higher tier because of his special advantage against down throw combos?

Seems to me that you'd just try a different approach.

It's not just down throw, it's any move at low % (!!). Mega Man is canceling the weak hitstun state with his Up B, you're not supposed to be able to do that. No approach will stop Mega Man from spamming Up B to break out -- you'll just be unable to combo Mega Man until the threshold when he goes into the stronger hitstun state (so probably 50% or above).

 

[Toad.T]

Figures that as soon as I access the site, it comes up as 502 errors.

Welp, time to refresh like a madman!

 

[ffdgh]

Darn it nintendo everything! Why did you die right when I clicked on peach?! D':

 

[Neiteio]

How come no one has gotten the game early and is leaking it?

 

[SuperSah]

Nintendo Everything is being slammed as fuck, lmao.

I want to see these D:<

Any alternative places?

 

[trutrutru]

I didn't mention ledge-hogging anywhere.

It's boring because it's super easy to recover and the highly spammable air dodge means it's practically not worth the risk of jumping off stage after them, might as well just wait on stage to see what they do.

The only times I've ever been able to get a meteor smash offstage is when the CPU wasn't using the air dodge for no apparent reason.

couldnt you just bait out the air dodge?

 

[StreetsAhead]

Palutena's colors look great! So do Mac's.

But Palutena's 3rd taunt...she looks very merry.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Is that Tharja alt colors for Lucina I see?

Hello?
If so, I'm sorry for shitting on Lucina.

 

[Moonlight]

Go 2 pages back to see it

Congratz on pseudo anna!

;_;

I'm so happy.

What will happen to the internet when Ridley is confirmed / deconfirmed?

 

[Puruzi]

Is that Tharja alt colors for Lucina I see?

If Lucina has Tharja colors I am seriously going to main her.

 

[dark_inferno]

What will happen to the internet when Ridley is confirmed / deconfirmed?

Evil evil laughter or tears of disappointment.

 

[PadWarrior]

Yeah. Poor site can't take the hype XD.

Did anyone see all if Mario's colors?

 

[kuroneko0509]

Is that Tharja alt colors for Lucina I see?

think so. Her alt colours are based on Awakening girls apparently.
and lol her final smash is... heh

 

[Mysterious]

What does the scan have?

 

[OmegaSmash]

Why would you be trying to use a meteor attack when you're over a stage, especially if someone is on the ground? All fighters should have non-meteor attacks, throws, and abilities they can use in that situation.

If the goal is to try to use a combo that worked in previous games, I think the answer is that the new balance and character designs may remove certain previous play mechanics, but introduce others.

Has anyone made a video / stream of spamming airdodges yet, so we can measure whether it's 1/10th of a second, and whether humans or CPUs can hit through it?

That's just limiting a character for no real reason. The ground bounce would've been a good reason to use meteors (in this example Mario's Fair) on the stage, but being able to tech it means that it's now not worth using it outside it's intended use off stage, which might not even be worth it if the air dodges are as spammable as JoeInky is saying.

No Smash Bros. Wii U release date on Friday

Then the release date will be announced by October 31 and Nintendo's Second Quarter Financial Results Briefing of FY 2014.

 

[SuperSah]

YIS, GOT IT WORKING ;D

 

[ffdgh]

Did anyone see all if Mario's colors?

He has a waluigi alt now. Likely a paper mario reference like someone else said.

 

[ratcliffja]

Lots of good info being revealed here.

Edit: I guess I'm a bit late there.

 

[theprodigy]

Hey Moonlight are you gonna use the Anna-like female Robin color?

 

[Beelzebufo]

Did anyone see all if Mario's colors?

Yup! Green, purple, America, blue, fire, yellow is what I remember

 

[NeonZ]

I like how Lucina has pallet swaps with different hair colors, why couldn't Marth and Ike get some too...?

I'm also sad that Pallutena didn't get hair color changes...

 

[zroid]

LOL there's a pic of the stripper taunt in Palutena's scan

 

[JoeInky]

couldnt you just bait out the air dodge?

The time between air dodges is incredibly small, almost to the point of where you can't see the default falling animation between air dodges on some characters.

 

[OmegaSmash]

Pikachu's wearing one of these in a color scheme.

 

[sfz]

Bombastic is my word of choice. Great at first impression, but when it's literally every theme in the game you notice just how little substance it has.

SSB4's theme seems to work in reverse and seems better suited to a thousand rearrangements. I'd still rather we had unique themes for various modes, but I think this one will work better.

Brawl's theme works great in reverse!

[SuperSah]

Mario's purple and white suit looks great.


NE crashed again.

 

[Kensho]

No joke, I was at a convention once, and they had Mewtwo with a full-on Pittsburgh Steelers alt (The Steelers' colors are Black & Gold). I still don't know why someone sees Mewtwo and thinks "STEELERS," but I had to use it. And the con was in Pittsburgh, so it wasn't ENTIRELY out of nowhere. Just... why not Ike? We HAVE an Ike Taylor on the team!

Seriously, I was using a Twitter person showing the images; do we know everyone's alts? Or at least everyone officially revealed? I know we can't share them here, but I must find them.

Nintendoeverything man, look for a bit.

 

[Pachimari]

What is going on at Nintendo Everything?

 

[Dimmle]

Pardon me, but your name looks awfully familiar!

Haha, hey Saturn. I thought it was you but wasn't sure about calling out the connection. My account was finally approved a while back. Neat to see a few of our ilk on here!

 

[Revven]

Did anyone see all if Mario's colors?

All his old colors + 'MURICA + Blue/Pink.

 

[ffdgh]

LAWD that black and gold peach and retro/fire peach. So damn good <3

 

[-Horizon-]
