Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 3: Ridley's Believe It or Not!

Yea, but I would think they would let you switch between them for which one you control.

They would follow each other around and support each other like Ice Climbers.

I 'spose. I just meant in terms of them doing different moves altogether, as opposed to being direct clones like ICs.

Gonna make a lot of GIFs of things to note.

Or you could just be excited for Smash in general.

Thank you, this, this so much.

I knew Rosalina was going to be added to the game, that Galaxy stage was very suspicious, also YAY, MORE female characters.

Sorry for all of the incoming GIFs!

A Luma is Born!
iihioTjSCNTJA.gif

I think that is Rosalina's Down-Special Neutral-Special (if it is Neutral-B, that would mean Kirby can use it, which is highly unlikely, so it is either Side-B or Neutral-B). My guess is that Rosalina's base attacks don't have a lot of range, and Luma will remedy that giving Rosalina a lot of range and versatility. And maybe using Neutral-B again will make the Luma go further away or come closer.

Launch Star!

That is most definitely Rosalina's Up-Special (recovery). I think that it may be possible to use Luma to attack even though Rosalina can't do anything, but because she can't do anything and it seems Luma copies what Rosalina does, that theory is probably a bust.

Holy crap!

I think that is Rosalina's Neutral-Special Down-Special. Seems pretty crazy. Also has that Wiimote pointer like effect in the Galaxy games, which is cool.
Why it is a Down-Special:

Meteor Smash!

Dat ring. Rosalina doesn't have to make direct contact to hit someone with it.

Luma Helps Rosalina With Attacks!

iPD5LElSDx5Hi.gif

I think this was fairy obvious, but still pointing it out. Luma makes Rosalina's attacks stronger. The ring attack looks like an Up-Tilt Up-Air, while the other is a Down-Smash.
The second GIF shows her Grab and Throw, Up-Smash, and what seems to be her Forward-Air.
And as everyone noticed, Rosalina has mini Galaxy-like things appear.
Also, one woman/star WOMBO COMBO!

Luma Helps Rosalina Out Of Sticky Situations!

Seems like Luma is the real hero here. Taking dat charge shot to the face!

Goodbye Luma, you're a true hero keeping the Galaxy princess safe. ;(

Luma Attacks!

Rosalina sends Luma spiraling to the left, and then Luma finishes off
the evil
Villager using star bits to pop his balloons. And then goes back to Rosalina.

Luma Takes Down Evil Tree!

Luma takes down the evil Villager's evil tree! There is nothing more to this and is just here as a joke lol.
If you look at the mirror, you can see Wii Fit Trainer warming up to kick some ass.

Thanks to ffdgh for correcting the Gravity Field move.
Thanks to C.Olimar788 for correcting the Up-Air part.

One thing I like about the Meteor Smash is that it shows that Rosalina doesn't necessarily always needs the Luma to be effective.

Olimar is probably the only one who will get nerfed.

If he does indeed only have 3 Pikmin follow him, I think it'll have more to do with the fact that he was incredibly good in Brawl outside of having a shit recovery. Not much of a hardware thing, I could be wrong since Sakurai vaguely commented on the subject like he ALWAYS does.

Now, imagine olimar recovery with 3 pikmin max... yeah.

EDIT: lol at everyone quoting that fucking rosalina post... sorry, but i am already tired of it. STOP, please.

Did you really have to quote that entire lengthy post just to add that much?

That post for now should be on every page tho. edit: at least once :p

I love the little Luma guys, they're so versatile and even get that NA "mean" Kirby face during some attacks. lol I like them more than Rosa at this point.

I hear the competitive play argument, but to me -- statistically the items have always appeared to be random. That is, each competitor has random gains and losses from their inclusion. To me, this is even enough and arguably adds the same % of luck to smash as say, a card game like magic, poker, or even most sports. I recognize that hardcore competitors out there want to remove luck completely from the equation if they can -- but that's where I feel like I divide with many gamers in general. Competition is not what makes a game fun to me. It is an aspect of fun, but fun is the umbrella, competition one of the umbrella's strings.

Edit: And by the way -- yeah I've done what you ask. The game seems bland in that case to me, but I recognize that's not the case for everyone. Maybe I'm just getting old. After all, I've been playing the game religiously since the first iteration, and items have always spiced up the battles crazily.

I love this post. Better than I ever could've said it.

Smashes is awesome cause of the many ways it can be played imo.

We barely have any info for either version though.

We've just seen more of the Wii U version visually, which makes total sense.

You are acting like there is absolutely no 3DS footage available for viewing. Hell, technically, the first footage we ever got was the 3DS version ;-)

Rosalina ... nice.

Anyway anyone got a .gif of Rosalina and Luma spinning near the end of the video? I want it.

I 'spose. I just meant in terms of them doing different moves altogether, as opposed to being direct clones like ICs.
Yea, that's what I had in mind as well. They would work like Ice Climbers, but they won't have the same moves. I guess we just didn't understand each other lol.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I missed the Direct...So does Smash's appearance indicate that it will have a Spring release since that was the topic of the Direct?

no, 9 out of the 10 big directs we got this year since E3 has had a character reveal in it, it only makes sense there would be one for this one
 
I just re-read the Roster Contest percentages.

More people put Tails or Rayman in their rosters than Rosalina, that's amazing.

I love us SmashGAF

Come to think of it, I need to go back and check my guesses now. I feel like I might have had Rosalina on my list but I don't remember.

The Rosalina train only really started when the giant SM3DW poster had the observatory in the top-right corner.
Honestly, Donkey Kong made that trailer's intro for me. Dude is hilarious.

Also, I totally listed Rosalina being Assist Trophy material and Daisy getting in. After this, I'm so happy to be wrong. :lol
The first part is understandable, but Daisy playable? Were you trying to lose? :p

It is pretty interesting how off we all were in predicting newcomers. Of the initial three, Mega Man was the one with the most support--the Villager was seemingly ruled out many years prior and the Wii Fit Trainer never got brought up at all. And sure, Rosalina seems like an easy choice now after 3D World, but if you had brought her up back before E3 for instance you'd be laughed out of the thread.

I love how the Villager's falling animation after having his balloons popped is a clear homage to the original Balloon Fight.
 
Whoo another character. By the way, what would be the interest level here on Neogaf to hold a SSBBrawl Online tourney while we wait around for more news?
 
Good to see her as a character.

Funny, she fights like how I always thought Plusle and Minun would fight if they ever made it into Brawl without being IC clones.
