looking good, smash always excelled at effects used when stuff hits

 

[SmithnCo]

DK looks pretty good when the camera isn't super close on him.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Any miiverse comment yet?

 

[RagnarokX]

OMG Sakurai you sneaky bastard!11

 

[Freezie KO]

Also, I like how Mario is taunting while Luigi is in actual danger

I noticed that too. These pictures make their own meta-game when we try to figure out what Sakurai did to actually capture the scene.

Edit: Curse you Not! Beaten.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Donkey kong should stay strong as fuck if he is. Hes pretty useless to me :/

 

[Vintage_Creep]

The hole looks different than the picture of a few days ago.

 

[Oni Link 666]

Donkey Kong is OP confirmed!

The tier lists start here.

 

[J@hranimo]

I bet Ridley flies back and forth between different walls so it would make the stage more dynamic.

..or that could be the same hole with a slightly different angle lol.

Sakurai's interpretation of strong may be different from competitive, "tier"-related perceptions of strong. After all, the dude "balanced" Brawl. Like he says, we'll just have to wait and see.

It's a different hole

 

[SmithnCo]

Hopefully they look at the battle records for Meta Knight this time around amirite

 

[IntelliHeath]

It's a different hole

I think it's same hole but it's smaller than hole in this picture.

 

[Freezie KO]

Time to panic? They broke the game already. I'm not playing until Donkey Kong gets patched.

 

[Hours Left]

Another character reveal would be pretty nice right about now.

 

[Not]

It's a different hole

 

[SmithnCo]

Based on the detail on the wall where the holes are, they're at different spots.

It seem to be at same spots but the photo angle make it look like otherwise.

Well I never really believed in tier and strength and all that. If your good with a character they are strong for you is my motto. Donkey is not strong for me :/ So is link but I never really gave them the time.

 

[BGBW]

Out of the holes come the Face Raiders!

 

[Neoriceisgood]

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

I think it's same hole but it's smaller than hole in this picture.

Its the same hole, different perspective = different size. But its definitely the same one.

 

[foxuzamaki]

this only reminds me of the DK fighter in evo who was kicking ass until he CHOKED and the tears came running down our faces

 

[Vintage_Creep]

It's not different because of the perspective though. It's just different. I imagine Ridley will open it a little better with his claws to come out.

 

[SmithnCo]

Scratch that, just saw there are two holes in the new pic. Looks like a new one gets open at some point.

 

[Freezie KO]

It's not the same hole. It's not the same content.

"Pic of the day. Mario Bros., your days are numbered! Donkey Kong in the current build is super strong…but we'll be looking at the battle records when balancing out the characters, so nobody knows how he will turn out in the end."

Thinking about it now... DK is probably the most consistent character in terms of tier-placement. He's been mid-tier in all 3 games, I believe.

 

[RagnarokX]

The original hole is behind DK's arm.

Also the new hole is located here in the first screenshot. It's cut off, so it could have been there all along.

 

[Nudull]

I found DK most fun in 64, though I slowly moved on to Bowser and Ike as my go-to heavy hitters. If Sakurai tweaks him up this time around, I may just pick him back up. c:

 

[SmithnCo]

Yeah, the original pyrosphere image just cuts off the top hole. The mystery of the holes is solved.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh god I hope they continue this trend of DK being buffed. He is so awesome in Brawl.

 

[SuperSah]

DEE KAY SUX.

 

[Sponge]

Really love todays pic.

DK, Mario and Luigi all look fantastic.

 

[Vintage_Creep]

What's DK doing anyway? It looks his down throw but it affects both Mario and Luigi.

 

[SmithnCo]

Mario's doing his "death" taunt it looks like.

 

[BGBW]

I hope they make throwing with DK and carrying with DK easier. Always find myself doing the one I don't want to do.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I find it weird that Bowser can't carry heavy objects easily.

 

[ffdgh]

I find it weird that Bowser can't carry heavy objects easily.

That was when he was slouched over in melee/brawl. The new and improved bowser may be able to now.

 

[A Link to the Past]

It's a shame that Rare isn't with Nintendo. I'd love to see Banjo-Kazooie and Conker.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

So... anybody still believe Ridley's in?

 

[BGBW]

So... anybody still believe Ridley's in?

I'm pinning my hopes on Kraid.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

So... anybody still believe Ridley's in?

I think he's still got a pretty big shot.

 

[soviet prince]

have hope but it's dwindling

more pics of the stage without ridley the better the sign. if he is a stage hazard he needs to confirm it now

 

[BY2K]

God this game looks great.

Do we know if it's 1080p/60FPS?

 

[Coolwhip]

Look, Ridley's hole appears again

EDIT: WTF? I posted this expecting someone to uploaded the pic before me xD

Oh well, here it is

I really like the look of this game.

 

[SuperSah]

I think he's still got a pretty big shot.

I found the subliminal message guys!

 

[dryuriev7777]

Man, look at all them colours in DK's attack. This game is beautiful.

Also, I think the reason I like Pyrosphere so much is because it kinda reminds me of Mechonis Field.

 

[MagiusNecros]

So... anybody still believe Ridley's in?

He'll be in the game.
