Super Smash Bros Wii U/3DS Discussion

It's her Up-Tilt Actually. And the Saturnian ring refers to Saturn's ring. It's cosmical stuff.

Sakurai specifically said her "Strong Up", and it's clearly not a Special, so I'm pretty confident it's a Smash.

Strong is classified as a tilt in smash bros.

If its a Smash attack, its usually referred to as a Smash attack.

Last time he mentioned a smash attack it was translated as strong side smash attack IIRC

well that's confusing
to me at least.

"King Dedede uses one of the strongest side smash attacks"

or just side/up/down smash idk

He means his Smash attack is among the strongest Smash attacks of the crew. And he refered to Zelda'S Side tilt as a Strong Side attack.

Anybody else think that it's a bit jarring how Rosalina has an outline on the 3ds version and Luma doesn't?

That is a bit odd, I wonder if it's the same for Olimar and Pikmin.

Late on this, but yes, "strong side/up/down attack" refers to the tilts.

Ashley confirmed for Assist Trophy!

Funny how Ashley was confirmed to make an appearance in SSB4 before Wario could be announced.

I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the screen shot.

But yeah, I'm pretty sure that means we're gonna see Wario this week.

Dammit, I really wanted Ashley to be the second WarioWare rep...

Still, it's good to see her have a role.

If we do end up seeing Wario return this week, that'll be 3 veterans in 3 weeks of the website being updated, which is really nice! Perhaps most of the core gameplay is finished so they can focus more on items, stages, and characters now?

New stage! Sakurai's comment hasn't been posted to my knowledge, so does anybody recognise it?

It's part of the Adventure Mode.
Sakurai's comment mentions the lack of a Story Mode like Subspace Emissary in both versions of the game.

Ah, well I have no objections at all to an Adventure Mode more like Melee's, so I'm happy with this.

Judging by the locale in the pic, it might not be a full-blown story mode like SSE, but it looks as if it's original locations rather than series-based like Melee's Adventure Mode.

Unless that's from DKCR and I'm just frigging blind.

New info on Edge Hogging.

There are many changes being made to attack and defense options for grabbing ledges. In this picture, Link is actually trumping Mario's grab.

Some other changes include:

-Air time and accumulated damage will determine your period of invincibility while hanging on an edge.

-Grab controls will no longer be affected by whether you have above or below 100% damage.

Huh, this should be interesting.



Also interesting are these potentially leaked images of a Newcomer.

Spoiler:

Taking these with a grain of salt.

Wow 0.0

I really want that to be true.

Spoiler:

Take a look at her belt; she has a golden Starman jewel that is not present in either Brawl or Uprising.

....I'm thinking it's the real deal.

palutena would be a pretty sweet addition if it were true.

So many girls

I think it's the top of the second from last jewel on the bottom row.



Regardless, the jewel placements are different from both Brawl and KI:U, so yeah, I believe this is real, otherwise they would have been too pedantic with jewel placement.

If this is indeed real, she sure looks small.

But either way, I'm not convinced.

Anyways, what is this new mechanic called that Sakurai introduced today so I can add it to OP?

If Palutena is indeed a newcomer, it'd add a bit more credibility to the bigger leak I saw running around.

I'm pretty sure it's fake.

Nothing here would really annoy me here, some good choices, except the lack of Paper Mario.

She's roughly the same size as Rosalina judging by how Mario stands to them.

.....that ain't small.
That would put Palutena among the tallest characters.

Viridi confirmed for Stage Hazard.
