Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - April 23rd

[Smashboards]

Smash Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day. Yoshi's Egg Throw now leaves a rainbow trail, and we've improved the pose Samus strikes when she fires the Paralyzer. Every staff member is working hard as we brush up whatever we can."

 

[Warchamp7]

Good work Namco team :')

 

[Luco]

Ah that looks lovely. :D

 

[KuroganeHammer]

So Yoshi now throws skittles.

Taste the rainbow(?)

 

[Jupo]

Oh god, what's wrong with Samus's torso? it looks so awkward
Also yoshi's got dem nyan eggs

 

[Heefe]

So far Yoshi doesn't seem to be improved at all... I mean all we know is that he stands tall and his eggs got rainbows... what about his recovery?

 

[-LzR-]

Well his recovery doesn't really any any improvements. If anything he needs a stronger upsmash.

 

[Sashimi]

Man, these Yoshi buffs are out of control.

 

[YoshiandToad]

Aesthetic changes are nice to look at, but it would be quite nice to know if there's any tweaks to these two moves outside of looking pretty.

That rainbow trail does look pretty though.

 

[SleepiEJeen]

dat chozo dna

 

[LoneWolfRanger]

nice samus stance

 

[Gameboi834]

Sakurai: Notice how the egg is able to easily get over Samus and miss her completely. Because screw you, Yoshi!

 

[Drazile]

So Yoshi now throws skittles.

Taste the rainbow(?)

Nope, there is blue in that rainbow.

 

[Will]

Anybody can do that pose,it's just at a certain angle.

 

[ZetTroxX]

Am I the only one around here who thinks ZZS is nothing but a sexy marketing gimmick who doesn´t fit in the Nintendo universe AT ALL?

 

[OptimistNic]

If by "improved" you mean "further sexualized", then yes.

 

[samsparta21]

I'm gonna yell out "taste the rainbow" whenever I throw an egg as Yoshi now

 

[Gunla]

Throw the Rainbow.
Taste the Rainbow.

 

[MoosyDoosy]

Dat Zero Suit Samus tho.

 

[Time/SpaceMage]

I used to play a Yoshi main in Melee who would say "have some protein!" every time. Once, I got out of the way (FFA) and said I wasn't one to stand between a man and his protein.

"Every staff member is working hard as we brush up whatever we can."

I read:

"Every staff member is working hard as we brush up ZSS's body."

 

[Sahfarry]

Samus' pose looks really awkward. I think we all know what they were trying to do with that....

 

[Shalashaska]

I love how the Miiverse kids are still whining even though the comment about the team working hard was probably added for that exact reason.

 

[Jaedrik]

I stood up in my room, did the pose in front of my mirror, and had no back issues, it seems a natural pose for firing the gun I had in my hand, if a bit impractical. These accusations are wild.

 

[Maikou]

It's the camera angle that makes it look awkward. from front view I'm positive it looks normal.

And no, THEY ARE NOT TRYING TO SEXUALIZE SAMUS SO SHUT THE F*** UP ABOUT IT ALREADY.

 

[rawrimamonster]

EGGS BRAH HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

 

[LF2K]

Samus, you're fighting the wrong dragon!

 

[The Derrit]

Oh em gee guyzz this gurl in vidgja gaem haz boobiz

Get over yourselves. You'd all be much more upset if she was chubby and unattractive. Pick your poison.

 

[aspirin cookie]

Yoshi isn't the only one that wants to give Zero Suit Samus some protein .

 

[Mega Bidoof]

So Yoshi now throws skittles.

Taste the rainbow(?)

Feel the rainbow.
Taste the rainbow.
DEATH BY RAINBOW!

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Wow, Samus would've had a splitting headache if she hadn't ducked to fire her paralyzer

 

[DeOnde]

I don't know what's the big problem with ZSS, Samus has the body of a SUPERATHLETE, she obviously can do some superhuman poses (hope the deviantart people aren't reading this); and there is nothing wrong with this one, it's just a camera angle. And stop complaining about her being "oversexualized", she is just an attractive woman in a spandex suit made for MOBILITY, so there is no way she can avoid the eyes of some; because after all, even PEACH, who always appear wearing an all-covering dress, or sports short at most, gets some nasty looks (and artworks). Let's also not forget that if you beat Metroid in a short time you get an image of Samus in a swimsuit as a reward (it has happened all along).


as a finishing statement...


RAINBOWS!

 

[The Slayer]

I thought she looks a lot more shiner than usual, and I don't mind her "improvements." Also, overly-sexual female characters has been around for years. So this isn't anything shocking.

I mean, without that Chozo DNA, she would be far weaker than she is without the suit. And more than likely, appearance will be affected as well. She'll definitely be a whole lot shorter and a lot less coordinated.

 

[ViewtifulHoe242]

could care less about graphics improvements, lots of crap tier characters have pretty moves. the gameplay is what matters to me

 

[The Derrit]

Yoshi isn't the only one that wants to give Zero Suit Samus some protein .

This does not belong here.

Don't make comments like this, people of all ages come to this website.

 

[Malkasaur]

RAINBOW! Looks pretty cool. I wish they would give him a Yoshi's Island style moveset. Also, stop arguing about stupid things like sexual characters. Just shut up and deal with it.

 

[Osennecho]

Sakurai... You missed Easter by a couple days... Also Yoshi isn't a bunny.

 

[Malkasaur]

Also, anyone who thinks that they are trying to make her more sexualized is an idiot. I hope everyone here DOES KNOW that Zero Suit Samus did not originate in Brawl. The design comes from Metroid: Zero Mission for the GameBoy Advance and has been updated to look more modern.

 

[CardiganBoy]

Yep, good example with the new animations, when you see them, you can note that they are truly giving this game a all their efforts, thanks!

 

[Maikou]

@ Malkasaur :Thank you so much! I'm sick of everyone here always going on about Zero Suit Samus being made "sexier" all the time and it annoys me to no end. and some people even want jiggle physics just because they assume that Smash is offically directed towards a 15+ audience despite not many things being further from the truth. And yes, Rating DOES matter. This installment of Smash will undoubtedly be rated E10+.
