Samus's U-smash and F-air changes

[mad_max]

I tried to find a thread where somebody had already talked about this, but I couldn't, so I'm making one.

I just watched THIS VIDEO on youtube and it seems that Samus's usmash and fair have changed from fire to some kind of electric/plasma thing (maybe the same kind of energy as her B move?).

It looks very similar; hitboxes, damage, and knockback are probably close to the same, the only difference is that now instead of fire, Samus shoots out some kind of bluish plasma stuff.

I didn't post a time on the video because she does it throughout the whole video, just watch closely and you'll see it.

This, combined with her EFFING **** up b should give her a new feel in brawl.

 

[iron blade]

no, it's still her fireball attack but with better graphics.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Yeah, off-screen video makes the hue of very light things hard to discern. It's still fire.

 

[mad_max]

Huh. Looks pretty blue to me. Oh well.

 

[iron blade]

it's just the video being offscreen and not the best quality. like invincibleagent said, the color is the same, it's the video.

 

[Sl1th]

Its fire, hot hot hot!

 

[disfunction47]

It's still fire. Watch the other characters get hit by it, they get burned

 

[Venks]

No no it's definitely purple now.

 

[Gimpyfish62]

those moves are both red normal fire. better in brawl, read my impressions peoples.

Pikachu was being a noob using thunder in that vid... but the fire looks bluish to me...

 

[evilflame101]

it looks sooo much better, and i hear from people who have played that it is stronger then before.

 

[Cocoashadow]

yes, it is more like the N64 version, which is a plus because it was an excellent Fair

 

[ElectroBlade]

Erm, Hey everyone I'm new to SmashBoards,

 

[rayecho]

do the moves work the same?

 

[Bacon Man11]

Her U-smash looks a lttle stronger to me, but I can't really say for sure.

 

[NeoZ]

It's blue, but I think that's the only change(maybe damage and knockback, but I don't know about that).
You can see clearly on the GameSpot videos, and those have good quality, a lot better than YouTube.
