Looking at the Twitter thread you linked to, I'm worried for up tilt as well since it was Yoshi's bread and butter for starting a juggle or set up in Smash 4. However, the side tilt looks so much better and seems to pop the opponent up for follow-ups as well. That move was pretty slow and...

Oh, was it here on Smashboards? Perhaps in the Yoshi forum? This would be excellent news if true...

Can Yoshi jump out of his shield in the 3DS version? Today's the last day to get an answer to this, so it would be nice if any Smash Fest attendees could play as Yoshi on the 3DS and try jumping with the X or Y buttons while shielding...

"Was the decision to add Greninja made before or after the release of Pokemon X and Y?" A year ago, Sakurai mentioned that they couldn't do any market research on Gen 6 Pokemon for playable candidates because Pokemon X and Y weren't out yet. It would be interesting to know whether he received a...

Well, there's the idea that Wolf may have been added late into the game, perhaps even after Sonic himself, and that his addition came after the idea for individual victory themes had already been dropped. This would be unlike Dr. Mario's case, where a victory theme for him wasn't being prepared...

I thought of a Sound type way back in the Gold/Silver days. :p I made some terrible fakemon to be of the type and everything. But yeah, it's interesting to see how the idea has taken off. Funnily enough, there are actually a few things that I thought of during the era of Gold/Silver that...

Indeed. All CoroCoro did was solidify Mewtwo's return. I'm quite surprised that GameFreak decided not to have a new anthropomorphic mascot creature, but perhaps it was Zoroark's failure that made them reconsider making one. Looks like the Pokemon roster may go without a 6th or even 5th Gen...

The reason there probably is a Gen VI costar for the Genesect movie is mainly because of the movie's title, which is the abbreviated "ExtremeSpeed Genesect." The Pokemon movie titles have typically been abbreviated this way until the "movie coverage" issue of CoroCoro, which reveals the full...

I mentioned a few pages back that the February issue of CoroCoro is almost always a "movie coverage" issue, which means that the upcoming issue will likely focus on the Genesect movie. I also mentioned that it may very well reveal a Gen VI Pokemon of the Lucario sort that will star opposite...

Well, this month's Coro Coro issue is expected to focus on the Genesect movie as February issues of the magazine usually do. This means the movie will probably have its full title revealed. I have a feeling that the full title of Movie 16 will contain the name of a Gen VI Pokemon which will...

Didn't stop Charizard from getting Flamethrower even though Bowser's B works exactly the same. Sakurai even said about Flamethrower, "We just had to have this. It is Charizard, after all." You just can't have Pac-Man without a chomping attack as his neutral B.

I'd keep Kirby in mind when thinking about a standard special for Pac-Man due to the former's copy ability. I think some sort of chomping attack would be best just because of that. It would be weird for Pac-Kirby to shoot lightning or what have you; it would be like Kirby using FLUDD when...

Am I the only one who thinks that the first Smash 4 trailer will be less character-centric and more gameplay-based? I mean, there is a 3DS version being made too, so it would stand to reason that the video shown at E3 will mainly involve showing footage of both games and maybe show off the...

Actually, Sakurai made a direct reference to the first Pichu Bros. short "Pikachu and Pichu" in Melee's 48th Event Match, aptly called "Pikachu and Pichu." The Pichu Bros. are likely the individuals that the Pichu in Melee personifies (in the shorts they hurt themselves using electricity like...
