Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 3: Ridley's Believe It or Not!
- Thread starter IntelliHeath
- Start date
IntelliHeath pointed out a problem with the Luma Summoning and how I put it as a Neutral-Special. That would mean Kirby would also be able to do that, which is very unlikely. But we did see Kirby act friendly with Luma in the trailer.
Also, here is why the Gravity Field move is a Down-Special:
Actually, you can see the yellow-ish hue that happens when you charge a smash attack with the wand wave thing.
I did have one uploaded, forgot to put it, thanks for reminding me lol.
Well color me green and shiver my timbers.
I didn't notice the smash flash.
Good eye!
Did you add the hat to your avvy? Can you do mine?
The megaton for me right here is that her neutral B seems to be a new type of "reflector"
Marth threw the Pokeball, but Rosie's Cosmic Field returned it to a "neutral" item (as opposed to Marth's item), and drew it into it.
I'm guessing that she makes any hold-able item thrown at her neutral, and her field will bend other projectiles around her.
Amazing idea.

poke poke poke
That reminds me, something went horribly wrong with Bowser's face.
Is that okay?
This is more than okay. :3
Thank you! Will add it to my profile when I'm more awake in the morning.

I know, right? I'm still in a daze. I mean, Luma?!?
I'm glad they were cut (assuming "pra_mai" was them). Much as I adore Gen 3, I don't want it to be represented by such shitty Pokes.

haha, 10/10
yes
as for SSB4's game speed, I seem to recall some actual competitive Melee players playing Brawl a few weeks before release.....with much more Melee-like physics
so I'll worry about that part when it gets close to release
The only Gen 3 Pokemon I'd like to see is Deoxys, but it won't happen without significant effort for the form changes (And the demand's not there anyway).
It's just so cool imagining a Deoxys that switches to Speed form to dash, switches to Defense form while shielding, switches to Attack form for its forward smash, stays in normal form while grabbing, etc.

Sorry for all of the incoming GIFs!
A Luma is Born!
I think that is Rosalina'sDown-SpecialNeutral-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'sNeutral-SpecialDown-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!
I think this was fairy obvious, but still pointing it out. Luma makes Rosalina's attacks stronger. The ring attack looks like anUp-TiltUp-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 offVillager using star bits to pop his balloons. And then goes back to Rosalina.the evil
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.
So good.

No, every new character gets a CGI reveal.
They never said they wouldn't be doing cutscenes.

GIANTBREADBUG'S GIANTTHOUGHTS
I'm really wondering where the Comet Observatory is. I mean, if it's not its own stage (which I wish it were), then I would think it'd be in the background of the Galaxy stage we've already seen, which it hasn't been so far. It would've been cool to have it as a stage that kind of flies through various galaxies, plus it's perfect for being Rosalina & Luma's home turf. Also, Rosalina's reveal video that's linked directly from Sakurai's Miiverse post is titled "Comet Observatory." I know we're probably not getting two Galaxy stages, but I think that its absence is weird.
Also, it's interesting to see another character that deals with mortality a la Olimar. I know the first Galaxy had really heavy themes about life and death with the Lumas, so it's cool to see that incorporated in Rosalina's moves. It is also very sad I think I saw this posted before, but this really does appear to be a play style like Pikmin & Olimar + Ice Climbers.
These CG reveal trailers are gorgeous, and they just keep making me sad that Sakurai has said no to a cutscene-filled single player. I would love more of these, they're sooooo good. Lol @ DK poking Kirby.

that cutscene with Kirby luma and the gang wants me to see a supe rsmash movie
I could of swore I read somewhere a few months back no story mode because it would take to much time and no cutscene because Nintendo said people only upload them to youtube
Sakurai probably didn't want to include a second hub stage since we already have Skyloft.
There's no single player mode like SSE. There are CGI cutscenes.

True, true, but I didn't think he'd snub it completely. I haven't seen a trace of it in the Galaxy stage so far. Plus, I was just thinking something like Brawl's Lylat Cruise, where you fight on the main stage and the various galaxies are just in the background (not landing to fight like in Skyloft).

We'll probably get a trailer for her that makes people think it's Kid Icarus Uprising 2.
Don't play with my emotions!
what
Assist trophy. That's all she'll get.
I wouldn't know whether to be happy that we get Palutena in Smash or sad that Sakurai just trolled his own fanbase at the same time.
Considering he teased everyone today with Kirby Air Ride, it's par for the course.

didn't iwata say something prior to the trailer about how it was an already announced title?

You and me both, buddy.
Bait and switch seems to be Sakurai's thing for SSB4.
1. Animal Crossing beginning makes it seem like AC:Wii U, but then it is for Smash.
2. Wii Fit like thing starts to play, but then Mario and co appear doing fitness. Then WFT appears, and then the megaton that she is actually playable.
3. This time was even more bait and switch. First it starts off with Kirby (Air Ride), then goes to some sort of course that kinda resembled Rainbow Road. Then we find out it is Rainbow Road and it seemed like Kirby was joining Mario Kart which made it seem like Nintendo Kart could be a thing. But then the Luma appears and meant it had to be Smash related since Rosalina already was in Mario Kart so there wouldn't be a build up like that.
I knew it was Smash when I seen DK's fur.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MARIO KART CROSSOVER
it was pretty clear it was smash the moment mario appeared
That or a Kid Icarus/Zelda crossover with him and Link teaming up to fight generic enemies, the Palutena appears to scold Pit and embarrasses him.

ahahaha, i suppose so
i figured that if it was for mario kart it'd be odd to show rainbow road off in a trailer, as i don't think it's even been shown pre-release before
... and that flimsy thread of logic saved me from sakurai's trickery!
I'd be surprised if the color matters. That's already Olimar's schtick. Probably just random, or hardcoded stage-by-stage to provide optimal contrast so it doesn't get lost in the fray.

I'm not a Rosalina fan at all, but I'm still happy to see another female character join the roster, and it seems like her moveset and her mechanics with the Luma bring a lot to the table. It's about time there was a newcomer reveal as well. It looks like they're having some fun with the physics in this game, what with the rotating Galaxy stage, and the way Mario's FLUDD behaves when Rosalina redirects it.
Also, on the Metroid stage, I'm not sure if they'd been shown in previous PoTD's, but it seemed like there were more dents in the wall than I remember - so maybe Ridley really is a stage threat who comes flying in and out every so often.
And, I'm a bit gutted we weren't given a Mario Kart launch estimate besides "Spring" because, I highly doubt we're going to see Smash before Fall or Winter next year, and definitely not anywhere near the release of MK8 since Nintendo will want to spread their releases out a bit. I guess it depends how often we get these kind of megaton Directs I guess.

And yeah, now that you mention all those other times, Sakurai seems to be on a trolling streak.
Watch the next trailer we get seem to be about Pokken when in fact it just introduces Pokemon Trainer back again.
...she'll be a stage hazard?

isn't there a Kid Icarus stage that looks like a reset bomb is going to be dropped on it at some point
also clearly the next trailer will look like an X reveal before Shulk is confirmed #believe
Yeah I think so, it was a 3DS stage if I recall correctly.
And if Sakurai teases X but actually reveals Shulk, I will flip tables, X is maybe the one Wii U game I am most excited in seeing more of.

I was thinking that the Pokken Fighters was actually just Smash Bros with Lucario returning and Blaziken as a newcomer.
June. Count on it.
