Ledge-fighting. And the two tethers look like they're about the same length.
Thats vines hanging in the background
were tethers not already confirmed? damn. Not that I had much hope that Melee style tethers would return... but damn.
yup. give him the longshot. Snaps to the ledge no matter how far he is
Only if bomb jumps are back
......
Can his spin attack just end with a tether please?

Looking good and quite useful. I'll look forward to some clutch nonsense with buddies with this!
I hope the developers add more taunts and moves that reference Akira. If Wario still has his bike it'd be cool if he had a bike pose or if some characters referenced Tetsuo.
Play some KOF if you want Tetsuo. Dude was basically in KOF 01 and 02 (even had the same voice actor).

Didn't Sakurai say they were using skyward sword link. That's bull shit, link clearly has twilight princess claw shot.

It didn't, just got a broken image thingie. But the rehost works.
What? No, he didn't. They're using Smash Bros. Link, who is heavily based on TP Link.
Uhh....No? Alease I don't recall him ever saying that.

I think he never said that, it's always TP Link.

I don't recall him ever saying that. Plus, the model doesn't even look like SS Link at all.

I'd even be happy with just a few more JoJos references. Anything else would be icing on the cake.

Haha I know, I love KOF but I was hoping for some niche references in Smash and other Nintendo games.

I should have back up the Japanese comment, and it seems that Sakurai's gonna post some bonus pic/comments.

Well, either that or he posted it way to early.

They're back, confirmed, but it looks like they both can do it at the same time, which idk if you could always do that, anybody can confirm?
Seems like a new feature. Project M has dual-edge grabbing which allows tethers to work even when someone's already on the ledge but this is the first time we've seen this.
Since it's vanilla smash, I don't think tethers will work the same as PM's system either.

I can always count on you to think of the right answers

Thanks, they also seem super long aswell, the tether could potentially be extremely broken depending on how sakurai implements them.

Still no comment up yet?
Also, I agree, even though they do seem really long both of these characters are very overdue for buffs to improve their game. We've heard about a few of Samus' other buffs which makes me happy but have we really heard of any other buffs (or seen any from any footage) for link other than his down-b can meteor smash now?

Sakurai deleted his Miiverse post, because he recalls that mechanic-change pics should be at least an hour late.

Here we go again
Pic of the day. Tether recovery? Yes, you can! And from even longer range than before. Multiple fighters can latch on--who actually grabs hold is determined by the same rules as the standard ledge grab.

But what rules are they? He hasn't described how that works yet, right?

Good tethers. Clawshot is still < Hookshot though.
So... are there any other Tether characters besides the Links and Samus? ZSS had one, but it looks like it was replaced by that jet-boot upperkick (no wait, she'd still have it as her grab). Any other's I'm blanking on?
fake edit: oh wait, Lucas uses the rope snake right? I'm taking this as a confirmation of his return then. Why spend a bunch of time improving tethers, only to cut one of the few characters who uses them?

OH MY GOD
that is a freaking clawshot sakurai! you needed almost 6 years to figured out how long it had to be!!!!
Link for top tier
yeah right...
Just wait, he'll end up replacing both Mewtwo and Jigglypuff. :lol
I'd be so down for having 8 Pokemon reps but it ain't gonna happen... ;_;
Oh man I sure hope so. I don't think we've seen his grab yet?

He seems to be getting quite a few buffs. There have been past pics of the day that have shown off a few of them.

Almost positive that since Tether users will most likely have more air time, it will work similar to Project M, and the tether will trump whoever is on the ledge. At least the way I chose to interpret "Ledge Trumping" anyway.
Tom Nook Sawyer

What's he mean by "latch on" and "who actually grabs" in this context? Isn't "latching on" also "grabbing on?"
SaintMadeOfPlaster
Member
Latching on refers to the tether attaching to the stage. Grabbing on is the actual character hanging from the ledge.

Hmm... So could theoretically one retract up to the ledge and recover while the other continues to hang there or is it that once on character retracts to the ledge it "bumps" or "kicks" off the other? Thoughts?
DisconnectD

Based on my interpretation of the potd comment today and the ledge trumping potd, I'd say the latter, since the tether recoverer would most likely have more air time.
