Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - August 1st

[Yoshi Kirishima]

Seems no one mentioned this?

So previously they said in the direct that the global smash power would determine how many people you're better than. At the time they were talking about matchmaking and rankings, so it seemed the GSP would be based just on your 1v1 for glory matches. But I guess not?

Basically what this means is we won't get a reliable statistic we can use to measure our 1v1 skill?

I think it might be a different score for your global smash power. This version being more leader-boards than skills in fights

I think the global smash power is not a combination of everything.

I think it's separately so your GSP from fighting is something on it's own, same goes for the scores in the minigames like this one here.

 

[Norm]

Well break the targets is back...kinda. Looks like it could be a laugh.

 

[Lil Puddin]

The big question is guys

Which character will you unlock for getting more than 1,000 points or clearing it with every character?

Bomberman confirmed.

Ok, awesome :D

 

[☆Jazz☆]

I like this.

 

[LoneWolfRanger]

Cool! gonna be a lot of fun when on the road

 

[Hypercat-Z]

At first I was:

But when I saw the second pic I was:

 

[SuperDS64]

Ha, the green targets look like piggies.

 

[Aguki90]

We need Falco trowing the bomb or Falco launch by Villager slingshot then called Falco Birds: Smash bros Edition.

 

[Gene]

Fixed.

Let's not forget and .

Peppy Hare for using your bombs wisely.

 

[Malion]

This seemed interesting but at the first pic when he said there was no bat I was kind of hoping it was a home run contest in reverse... where you tried to rack up enough damage to yourself and have the bomb blow you up and send you as far as possible!

 

[Tino]

Wow, that new mini game looks like a lotta fun! Can't wait to blow all those Targets up! xD

 

[Time/SpaceMage]

That second picture is seriously zoomed out; notice the 1P tag with the tiny blip-of-a-Pikachu. Those targets must be huge!

...Angry Birds.

 

[Phaazoid]

now they need to mix break the targets and board the platforms

 

[LIQUID12A]

Am I the only one concerned that:

1. Trollkurai would usually reveal a character on Friday
2. It's Pikachu, so I'm expecting him to pull a Rayman and reveal a Pokemom a bit after the POTD
3. That bomb has font that looks like Rayman 1's font

 

[ChikoLad]

3. That bomb has font that looks like Rayman 1's font

Good eye! I almost missed that!

-------------------

Also, BOMB CONFIRMED???

 

[Mega Bidoof]

*comes to make Angry Birds joke*

*sees everyone already made it*

 

[Wasp]

Ok, awesome :D

uhh yeah well, i kinda take back those words... I've edited that post into "i think" =D

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

WHERES THE WIIU MINIGAMES AND EXTRAS!!!

 

[Wasp]

WHERES THE WIIU MINIGAMES AND EXTRAS!!!

i think they're saving the wii u images for after the release of the 3ds...

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

i think they're saving the wii u images for after the release of the 3ds...

That does makes sense...

 

[itsameluigi1290]

This mode is gonna be the bomb. Huh? Huhhhhhhh?

 

[RPGatWill]

This mode is gonna be the bomb. Huh? Huhhhhhhh?

*boos softly while giggling anyway*

 

[LF2K]

Would Captain Falcon count as an Angry Bird?

Probably not though

 

[BobEugCox]

Cool! This actually looks pretty fun.

As a side note, if Break the Targets returns to 3DS or Wii U versions, I hope it goes back to each character having their own personalized levels that are designed around their abilities like in SB64 & Melee. It was unbelievably boring completing 5 stages of break the targets with 35 characters. UGH...

I also wouldn't mind seeing Board the Platforms return! I thought that was so much fun as a little guy and I think I would now too.

Stillllllllllll waiting.

 

[Hero of the Winds]

Notice this: He doesn't say "pic of day" at the beginning.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Sakurai had this picture today instead of something for kirby's anniversary? That's a shame, but we still didn't get filler!

 

[lightdasher]

Jesus christ Angry Birds didn't invent catapult games for **** sake.

 

[Mr.Random]

I really want to hear more about the engine. Like this "We have given characters additional movement options." or "When you get hit you can no longer airdodge out of your tumble making combos more viable." I love these pictures but I feel that he should make some announcements for competitive players and not just casual things. Maybe a schedule like this. 2 days he posts about fun game modes and items for casuals and then the next 2 days he posts stuff about the engine and competitive mechanics to appeal to both crowds.

 

[RPGatWill]

I wouldn't overthink it, but if you're right that'd be some surprise.

 

[Gene]

True, but it made the type of game/genre popular. Like how Namco made The Outfoxies, which was the first platform fighter(unless someone beat them to it) but Smash Bros made the formula popular.

Hopefully Classic mode has Home Run Contest, a Trophy earning mini game like maybe Trophy Tussle, Board on The Platforms, Target Test, etc. Classic mode in Brawl was extremely dull. Not to mention the target tests were all the same for every character other than the difficulty setting changes. Classic mode entails all those mini side events. That's part of what made it so fun. I highly doubt they're going to do separate target tests unless they update the game over time, but at the very least change the target test based on weight class, franchise, or something along those lines.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Lamp oil, rope? BOMBS?!?!?! You want it? It's yours my friend, as long as you have enough Ruppes.

I completely agree with the target test comment. I feel like Brawl took a big step back by making every target test the same 5 levels for every character: there was no creative use of your character's moveset involved.

I loved Melee and 64's target test because the stages were not only fun to play through, but they taught you the many attributes of your character.

For example, target test started you off in a crevice where you had to wall jump out of, and made you use his boomerang angles.

Or target test in 64 made you use pound to float through the air and hit the targets at the very end of the stage.

It's things like those that made those target tests much more satisfying to complete than the Brawl ones, where you only learned how to use items and didn't necessarily take advantage of a character's unique attributes.

 

[SuperBoshi]

So is they're gonna be game were we have to hit a wire framed fighter to send them flying hit the sandbag and the sandbag breaks targets while we the player board the platforms!

 

[Hero of the Winds]

Sakurai doesn't just forget these things though...
