Ok, here they are (missing 2 of them)

ZSS Moves!


When I press b on the standard move, it just does a back air kick, and not a spike. With the custom, it spikes BACKWARDS, all the way to the ground. So if you're flipping OVER an enemy, it will hit them once you go over them.

Yeah, looks like the P:M one. I like that better, but it might be redundant if she has the same dair as Brawl.

If no one here translates them someone I know on another forum might, he was also interested in seeing ZSS specials.

Thanks tons for posting these though. And you're getting them really quick too!

 

[-Horizon-]

I know it's not that much of an issue, but I really hope the next game will have slightly better facial animation.

Glubglubglubglub.

Hahaha

 

[MannyToons]

WTF is that?!

The same issue Brawl had, lmao. I loved seeing Ike's mouth continue to animate long after finishing his line in the English version with the 'You'll get no sympathy from me' bit.

...I honestly hope that isn't fixed.

Well, feel free to share

Yeah, it was 2 smash run runs and I unlocked all of those, luckily.

 

[tonyh24613]

Cruel mode is TOO DAMN HARD. I'll never be able to unlock those two challenges. Q__Q

 

[AdaWong]

Also lol at one of ZSS win poses.

*raises her leg and rotates in circular motion*
*ends animation*

...

"HA!"

 

[theprodigy]

Rosalina custom moves, anyone?

lol

 

[munchie64]

Well with the one alt costume that looks like Guts from BERSERK they have little choice.

Woah, any pics of this?

Worst fears confirmed.

There's a reason I never got all the unlockables in Brawl.

What are they? So far i've had 0 kills, lol, but i've only tried a small handful of times.

Worst fears confirmed.

Every other challenge has been pretty easy, so far. Even lvl 9 classic mode isn't too bad w/ captain falcon.

2 kills and 4 kills.

That seems doable w/ the right strategy/fighter, probably. Just gotta figure out what that is, I suppose.

Look at you Dark Pit. Daddy gave you your own victory music.

This feels...familiar.

Though obviously not every character can have their own theme, why not bring back the Melee fanfares for characters that would otherwise share them with another?

only one I ever had trouble with was Boss Battles on Intense lol

.....can't you just camp like in Brawl and let them SD?

 

[MagiusNecros]

Woah, any pics of this?

Sadly no. But it's similar to Golden Age Arc Guts when he was a regular mercenary.

I never understood why Meta Knight had an electric guitar remix either haha, especially since his theme in the game is jazzy.

Dark Pit's theme is awesome though, and justifies his inclusion as a character I think.

From Brawl.

How? ledge? I doubt that.

 

[Kouriozan]

Well, we're not getting a new Kid Icarus before long so I'm glad Dark Pit is here.

georly, I know you said that you aren't exactly the best at this game but I'm on a whole 'nother level of bad :/

 

[thechristoph]

This is the one I got: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008ZXBYJU/?tag=neogaf0e-20

It's not cheap, but it seems good to me and as long as you're careful, it's not difficult to remove. There's a tab below the touchscreen you can pull on to lift the 3DS XL up. I still wouldn't want to take it on and off a lot though, for fear of scraping the 3DS XL or something. I just leave the stylus out all the time and there's no reason to remove the grip.

Despite the rubber coating mention, the grips are quite firm, not squishy.

I feel that this grip makes the shoulder buttons very difficult to press. There are these trigger grips that live where L2 and R2 buttons would if they existed on this thing. It's so comfortable to rest your index fingers on these grips, but in order to hit the shoulder buttons, you really have to stretch you finger. The trigger grip is between your index and middle fingers, which makes this difficult. You kind of almost need to hold it like you'd hold a Dualshock with a finger on every shoulder button.

It's tough to explain but I hope that makes sense....

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Look at you Dark Pit. Daddy gave you your own victory music.

Rosalina and Bowser/Jr got one too!

...and nobody else that I can notice.

They were kind of lazy this time with victory songs

 

[JoeInky]

All Olimar moves get!

Fucking finally, this takes way too long.


And I'm going to have to do it all again on the English version... argh.

 

[georly]

georly, I know you said that you aren't exactly the best at this game but I'm on a whole 'nother level of bad :/

I'm not! Most of the challenges are like 'play for x amount of times' or stuff that's easily repeatable. Lvl 9 classic mode was just pattern memorization on the last boss and then cheezing the opponents w/ items beforehand.

Yeah, i'm not really going to bother because i'm just going to have to do it all again in 3 weeks. For now i'm just playing for funsies and getting stuff I want.

Or helping out gaffers w/ requests.

 

[chaosblade]

How? ledge? I doubt that.

You could use floating characters and camp the ledge and even under the stage, they would push each other off or occasionally jump off to try to get you. Not hard to get 10+ KOs that way at all.

May not work in this game depending on how the AI responds. Also the lack of invincibility on repeated ledge grabs would make it more challenging.

only one I ever had trouble with was Boss Battles on Intense lol

I did that one relatively quickly, before some broken strategies started popping up.

Never got the sticker one in Brawl/P:M. It's the only one I have left.

 

[Jawmuncher]

So does the Japanese Ike have the same win quotes as he did in brawl?

 

[georly]

Woah, any pics of this?

What does the berserk guy look like? I can try to match an ike to it?

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Dark Pit's theme is awesome though, and justifies his inclusion as a character I think.

In Brawl it seemed like unique victory songs for all were planned but then dropped* barring Meta Knight. I would have thought they would have finally happened with Smash 4 but it is still only some...oh well. Maybe Wii U version? Then again unused sound files in SSB 64 imply final smashes were planned back then (PK Starstorm and Blue Falcon) so sometimes these things take time.

*-As were many music tracks, some clearly due to rights issues (several mixes of the plagarised MGS1 theme, Sonic You can do anything...maybe even Yoshi's Cookie given its extinction from the Wii Shop).

 

[Jawmuncher]

[Kyzon]

Have we seen people talking in WiiU yet? I remember Ike looking like that in Brawl when he talked too.

I think we did during treehouse streams.

Guess I'll see in a few weeks :T

I tend to lose my focus and go straight downhill for things that require memorization the moment I screw up on one part. That also explains my love hate relationship with rhythm games.

 

[entremet]

What are meteors?

 

[Forkball]

A few random notes.

Strangely, no one online is using the skimpier ZSS alts.

I thought the Villager tree was useless, but honestly I find myself getting so many kills with it. It's satisfying to catch someone off guard with it. Growing the tree will probably net you more kills than cutting it down.

I'm undefeated online as Pink Donkey Kong.

I love the AMERICA alts. We have AMERICA Mario, AMERICA Mac, AMERICA Sheik etc.

Fighting Metal Pac-Man on his stage is some circle of hell.

I'm really enjoying the heavy characters in this game. Bowser, Dedede, and Charizard are all heavy hitters that play in unique ways.

Bowser Jr. is a very fun and dynamic character. You have so many options and he's extremely versatile in every aspect. He is one of my favorite newcomers for sure. No, I don't switch alts.

I look forward to seeing it.

Who's next?

Link?

 

[johnsavage]

So I've been playing the demo and finally discovered the final destination/no items setting. I've been Mario playing a level 9 Pikachu CPU. Is it ok that i'm getting destroyed by it sometimes? I've never been so competitive with a smash bot before.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Any pics or videos of Falcondorf's sword custom move?

 

[georly]

.

Close enough?

What are meteors?

When your attack spikes someone downward.

He has a sword custom move!? I tried unlocking his stuff w/ little success.

Space rocks.

 

[Peltz]

Damn... 150+ pages. That's a lot to wade through. Forgive me for asking (because it's surely been posted already), but what's the general consensus on online play? How's the netcode? Lag? Better than Brawl? etc.

P.S. I've played the demo for over 10 hours this weekend. The North American release cannot come soon enough!

 

[Golnei]

It's still basically Warlock Punch, but it's a welcome change regardless.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Close enough?

When your attack spikes someone downward.

By the way, is the ground bounce from those techable?

I've had some bad matches w/ really bad lag, but i've also had some REALLY good matches where I might as well have been playing locally. Just depends on your connection and who you're playing with.

Oh my god i'm using that ON PRINCIPLE.

Sakurai, wai?

Yeah those 2 are the closest to it.

Looks good to me.

 

[qualitydisc]

Omg, the absolutely gorgeous Magicant arrangement was done by Yoko Shimomura! No wonder it's so beautiful!

I didn't know she was involved until she posted about it on Twitter today. She said she did some arrangements, and that she received a signed copy from Sakurai:

I'm really looking forward to hearing her arrangment(s)

Use it on it being really good lol. It's close to Falcon Punch Speed and hits far as hell.

Edit: far as in range. It's long.

 

[munchie64]

Close enough?

Wow it actually does bear some resemblance. I'm gonna use that any time I play Ike.

 

[random25]

Played tons of 3DS demo today. If only that 6000+ coins can be all transferred to the retail version ;_;

Getting good with Megaman this time around. Really slow killer but has a lot of nifty tricks for edge battle. Can easily beat lvl.9 CPUs now.

 

[emb]

By the way, is the ground bounce from those techable?

Yep.

 

[theprodigy]

Space rocks.

How come it's not one of Rosalina's moves then?
