Official Japanese Everything Thread: Sakurai Famitsu Interview - Translators needed!

[Sairou]

Kool. Thanks for the pic Chepe! =D

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

can they take vids?

 

[Gaddswell]

Thanks for answering these questions ITP. If you don't mind, could you please answer these Ike questions?

1. When playing as Ike, did you feel as though he suffered from invisible lag (as in, did he lag before he started his start up animations)?
2. What are Ike's fastest moves?

 

[I.T.P]

Eh, oh well.

How about Bowser?

bowser looked redone, much faster than melee, much more versatile. I fought him only once, and watched him several times, and he gave me a strong run for my money. he also had a weird move where he jumped and banged you, I'm not sure if it's a throw or not, animation was unique. might be the Forward B?
he seemed much better than he was in melee, and I don't remember which(maybe smasher? or Hiko?) one of the pros played him and said he's pretty ok, and much better than in Melee...

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

can we get some more PT info cracking?

 

[I.T.P]

Thanks for answering these questions ITP. If you don't mind, could you please answer these Ike questions?

1. When playing as Ike, did you feel as though he suffered from invisible lag (as in, did he lag before he started his start up animations)?
2. What are Ike's fastest moves?

1.no, all of his lag derived from actual animations, but the power was worth it. he's a monster.

2.I'd say all of his B moves basically, and maybe his Bair? I don't remember it much. the Fair is horrible though(in terms of speed), starts out slower than peach's!

 

[Dry Bones]

he also had a weird move where he jumped and banged you, I'm not sure if it's a throw or not, animation was unique. might be the Forward B?

yeah, thats his new Koopa Klaw attack

 

[2nd Stamp]

squirtle reminds me more of jigglypuff than mario, and yes he was pretty fast. but his attacks were pretty weak, I remember killing with his Fsmash before switching though.

Edit: Shaymin? I don't think I saw him ><
no really new pokemon or ATs, or else I would've mentioned them in my main post.

Thanks so much.

You should be asking a fee for all these questions.

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

how does ivy feel?

 

[I.T.P]

Nah, not like i have anything better to do, I tried my best to collect info as much as I had patience to, just so I could help you guys, and Create interesting disscussion here.

on a side not, Ikki got pwned by his wife and his best friend

Edit: Ivy feels, Average? he lacks power, and he seems a bit akward, lots of potential there, it just needs proper exploration...

 

[IsmaR]

Did the Soccer Ball KO anyone at low or middle %s?

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

can you monitor the stamina? Also, could people take vids? i would kill for some PT action

 

[Jazzy Jinx]

1. What did Ivy's jump and double jump look like?
2. Did he attack with only his vines?
3. How does he look while shielding?
4. Does Bowser have the same running animation?
5. Are Bowser's moves as laggy as they were before?

I appreciate this.

 

[I.T.P]

Did the Soccer Ball KO anyone at low or middle %s?

Middle precentage. It's a monstorous Item.

It only goes a set knockback depending on the attack, but it slaughters in that time. and stops and drops straight down mid-air if it doesn't hit anything.

Also, i'm not 100% sure about this, but I'm pretty certain you can now catch Items by airdodging on them, without actually having to press A.

 

[Sairou]

Oh yeah, how did camping on the bottom of temple feel? Did anybody do that? Lol xD

 

[I.T.P]

1. What did Ivy's jump and double jump look like?

3. How does he look while shielding?

5. Are Bowser's moves as laggy as they were before?

I appreciate this.

1. pretty normal, if i recall correctly it's a backflip sort of thing.
2.now, Vines are basically his Up B. he attacks with his body.
3.no idea?
4.not sure.
5.no, much less laggy. and faster as well.

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

you rock

how does squirts water gun work?

this is going in the FAQ so thanks for the help!

 

[I.T.P]

Oh yeah, how did camping on the bottom of temple feel? Did anybody do that? Lol xD

I saw people doing that, I didn't though. It looks the same as SSBM, heck, I saw the landmaster on temple, and it suddenly looked so small

also, I played onett, i'm not sure but I think you can see a bit further off the side than in the original.

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

is there a visual monitor of stamina?

 

[I.T.P]

No, Like i said before, I never noticed any stamina or tired feeling, so It might be a more subtle thing.

squirtle's water gun is like samus' beam. It even pushes him backwards the same way. It seems pretty weak though, didn't get to properly use it. maybe good for edge guard?

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

i have heard the starting pokemon is random?

can you give me a heads up

 

[Dry Bones]

i have heard the starting pokemon is random?

can you give me a heads up

yes, the starting pokemon is random. this and everything else you have asked in this thread have been answered by I.T.P. before

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

i am not going through 143 pages for some answers.

 

[I.T.P]

as far as I know, it is random. yes. I got charizard =D

 

[Dry Bones]

well then start from page 135 and continue from there

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

ok done that now!

what does rock smash do?

 

[Ike Himura]

Hey ITP how do you think Ike will do in a 1vs1?

 

[I.T.P]

Hey ITP how do you think Ike will do in a 1vs1?

I can't really say, It depends greatly on his Setups and grabs. he might do horribly like roy, and he might do greatly like marth. it all depends on how easy it is to get someone to fall for his ridiculously powerfull attacks.

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

your info you gave has been added to the FAQ

thankyou

 

[Ike Himura]

Thanks for the response time for me to get some sleep been up all night insomniac ftl =/

 

[I.T.P]

what FAQ?

btw, do you guys think I should make a Brawl FAQ for gameFAQs and make the skeleton in advance and then fill it up from my smashfest on the 23-27 and submit it? could I grab an FAQ bounty on that?

I have a bit of experience with Gamefaqs FAQs, I did one for Lumines 2 and one for Gunpey, both PSP games.

 

[Dry Bones]

i dont think they generally accept FAQs before the games are released to the public, unless you have a lot of information to give (and while you have posted a lot in this thread, it may not appear as large in a FAQ format). but im sure plenty of people would like the idea, and it would certainly get a lot of views =)

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

the PT FAQ

A FAQ from you would be pretty dam Rad (wow. haven't used that term in ages)

anyway. for the PT FAQ

what does rock smash do?

 

[Fabiano]

Are there any vid's yet?

 

[Dry Bones]

Charazird has multiple jumps, I didn't count them. his Up B is monsterous, he flies straight up and burns anything that touches him while doing so, I didn't try his Forward B, but his neutral B is like Bowsers.

here you go son

 

[Devastlian]

Would you say the Pokemon change speed is different than the one in the commercial:

[Gerudo Warrior]

well....... we still don't know what RS does.... huh......

 

[Dry Bones]

information about rock smash is likely to come soon enough from other japanese sources... we just have to wait until our translator team wakes up and translates it all for us!

 

[I.T.P]

yes, it's definately longer than that...

my idea was building an FAQ skeleton, with as much pre-release Data as I can get, and then on the smashfest from the 23-27(in which I'll be playing the full version, and unlocking most of the important stuff) I'll fill it with info and submit it.

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

brawl central is doing a great job!

my friend learns Japanese as his school... i lean French....... man i could use that right now.....
