Miiverse Daily Pic Thread: 2nd Edition (Updated 9/19)

Was hoping he would have a Dark type special but I forgot they ingnored Lucario's Steel type as well so this will do i guess. Anyways Im starting to realize Greninja was the best choice for a Kalos rep considering hes a frog wich fits perfectly because of what country the reigon is based on.

pls, his dark typing doesnt matter when protean is involved

when i face greninja i face an ice type, a bug type, a water type, a ghost type...

 

[PWN3]

Oh look!

A dragon on Pyrosphere!

*sobs*

Fire/Flying, actually.

 

[Radical Bones]

I don't understand why everyone is expecting filler for the PotDs until E3. Sure, we just got a Direct, and a tonne of information, but to me that means the ball is finally rolling. The 3DS version will be out in 3-4 months, so things will quicken up IMO.

Also, after last week, people are still complaining about the PotD? Gee, spoilt much? I can't believe how long the PotD's have been coming out, yet people still complain when we get a 'bad' one.

 

[Ryuutakeshi]

Neat move. A counter, a teleport, and a high jump soumd really obnoxious.

Also, this is hardly a bad update. It could have been "you must recover."

 

[DeanAdamFry]

Come on now Sakurai is just teasing us again with a DRAGON on PYROSPHERE, doesn't this man have anything better to do than tease ridley fans like this?

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Sounds cool. A few characters have item effect turned into attacks but it I can't help at think this will happen

 

[Ryuutakeshi]

Also, that hole in the wall is rather strategically placed in the shot. Hmmm

 

[NintendoKnight]

Meta Knight's infinite dimensional cape has now been made an actually move on purpose?

This, shall be fun.

 

[MasterofMonster]

Meta Knight's infinite dimensional cape has now been made an actually move on purpose?

This, shall be fun.

This move, however, looks to be much better than Cape. Which is good. MetaKnight may have been OP, but his Cape was a pretty terrible move, imo. ^^ Could never really hit well with it.

Shadow Sneak looks like it reaches longer, and it looks strong and good, judging by the footage.

 

[Staarih]

Come on Ridley, it's ok, you can join Charizard and Greninja on Pyrosphere, just show yourself, even if you were a stage boss...

But yeah, I got the Greninja pic I wanted with additional details on his move, so I'm pleased.

 

[soviet prince]

sakuraiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[MasterofMonster]

sakuraiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

What? I hope you don't mean this is a bad post. We got New info despite the barrage of News from the Direct. This is more than one would expect already.

 

[KiraYoshikage]

Yeah I think it was pretty informative. Good start to the week i'd say.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Greninja sounds potential top tier.

Hardly, once you realize that Shadow Sneak and Substitute can be countered quite easily with the proper strategy. Add the fact that Greninja may end up being a lightweight, and not all that strong with its offenses, and that could make things even more troubling for it.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Hmmm... Sounds like Greninja players will need good spacial reasoning if they want to keep a track of where they are. I think it'll be like the spies in Team Fortress, terrifying for newcomers but an annoyance for veterans.

 

[spader13]

Sounds like a good number of newcomers this time around have some aspect of them with a bit of a learning curve/unique strategy which is nice.
From likely least complex to most complex
Villager/Megaman - They've got a lot of representation of their series in their movesets, but they seem overall to be fairly standard characters.
Little Mac - Effectively using the OHKO meter/avoiding too much air game
WFT - Timing her deep breathing power up
Greninja - Today's post clearly indicates that at least Sakurai thinks his "sophisticated" moves take some getting used to
Rosalina - Mastering spacing with her Luma will likely take some getting used to and since they each have slightly different attacks, it's essentially two movesets to learn, though they should be at least similar I think.

 

[DraginHikari]

Seems like we're getting what I expected more or less. Probably just things referencing other things in the direct.

 

[Spazzy_D]

When I saw the pic I thought we were in for a long stretch of filler, but I was pleasantly surprised when I went to Miiverse. Glad to see PotD will still be something worth watching.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

I looked at the first one I was like ok

But the second......and the party continues messing with us charizard on the mentioning the word shadow

(The move sounds just like meta knights move)

 

[Pazzo.]

Oh yay, more Greninja! Shadow Sneak looks neat.... InB4 someone says GRENINJA IS THE NEW MK!!!
*Looks at comments*

Too late.

 

[Ingulit]

Color me extremely excited about Greninja! I'm guessing this isn't the move that had the Substitute (at least, I can't see a sub in that picture, but I admittedly didn't look that closely)?

MiiVerse put it best tho

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Hardly, once you realize that Shadow Sneak and Substitute can be countered quite easily with the proper strategy. Add the fact that Greninja may end up being a lightweight, and not all that strong with its offenses, and that could make things even more troubling for it.

FWIW you're assuming far more things about how this unreleased character will play/can be countered than the guy who said "he looks like he's potential top tier" did

 

[Substitution]

To be fair.
They seem to say that with every newcomer that comes our way.

 

[Pazzo.]

I know right!?!

It's because Master Sakurai makes them all look OP in their respective trailers. I mean, why not? Why show a new character as so-so?

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Well it's no joke

Greninja is without a doubt not replacing meta knight he's practically confirmed because of the halberd stage

 

[MasterofMonster]

Yeah, MetaKnight is pretty much sure to come back. Shadow Sneak confirming MetaKnight is gone cuz' the move is KINDA similar is like saying Link is out because of Pit's Bow. :/

Anywho. I expect a explonation for Charizard's Flare Blitz tomorrow.

 

[praline]

So Greninja's specials are Water Shuriken, Shadow Sneak, Substitute and Aqua Jet.

 

[Superyoshiom]

I was so sure that the move was smokescreen, I mean, it would've made so much sense, him being a ninja and all...

 

[IsmaR]

So Greninja's specials are Water Shuriken, Shadow Sneak, Substitute and Aqua Jet.

Canonically he can't learn Aqua Jet. From his Egg/teachable moves, it could feasibly be Water Sport, Water Pledge, or Waterfall.

Could also just be an original attack, like Pikachu's Thunder Jolt.

I Think it's Hydro Pump, IF it's a real Pokémon move. It'd make sense, since Hydro Pump is often seen as having Two Strong blasts of water (thanks to Blastois).

But it certanly seems to work like Pika's Quick Attack. ^^ I like it.

 

[Disfunkshunal]

I doubt it, shadow sneak and substitute are two different moves.

 

[DaDavid]

Certainly looks like a better move-set here than in Pokemon.

 

[Morbi]

Well it's no joke

I am confused; I haven't really been keeping current with Smash speculation, but what about Greninja's reveal would indicate evidence against Meta Knight's return?

 

[MasterofMonster]

Greninja's Side Special, Shadow Sneak, makes Greninja disappear and reappear. Thus, he has stolen MetaKnight's Down Special, and this, he replacing.

Totally ignoring that those moves are still very different. Gotta love logic. XD

 

[PKNinja95]

Did you not see my post after that? I said he's sacrificing defense for Speed and agility

 

[MopedOfJustice]

I was so sure that the move was smokescreen, I mean, it would've made so much sense, him being a ninja and all...

We saw Shadow Sneak two or three times in the trailer.
Canonically, I think it's more of a Shikamaru-type thing, though:

The user extends its shadow and attacks the target from behind. This move always goes first.

[collapse=Here's how I always interpreted that:]

Not the strangle-to-nothing bit, but you get what I mean.
[/collapse]
Edit:
Yup, here's a picture from the manga:

And another:

 

[_Sheik]

Could Little Mac be a good counterpart to Greninja? If we take the "Greninja got great speed but lacks defense" argument, and consider Mac's monstruously strong smash attacks... not to mention the boxer's abilities to counter.

 

[MasterofMonster]

I don't Think so. But if Ridley is here, I expect HIM to be the counterpart of Mac. OP in the air, terrible on ground. ^^

I do love what I've seen of Greninja. Shame someone on SmashGAF pointed out he has a clearly visible... thingy.

 

[Morbi]

Hypothetically, both characters have great mobility; Mac's great offense might actually be wasted on Greninja though (excessive or not necessary to get an easy KO). I am not certain about Greninja's recovery or air-game though, that might be what puts him above Mac in the end. The only way to find out is to play, but so far, they seem like decent counterparts.

 

[BeatNinja]

Come on Ridley, it's ok, you can join Charizard and Greninja on Pyrosphere, just show yourself, even if you were a stage boss...

But yeah, I got the Greninja pic I wanted with additional details on his move, so I'm pleased.

Ridley is actually a really shy introvert, he's too scared and humble to be on the same battlefield as Mario and Link.
