Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - July 9th

[Smashboards]

Smash WiiU & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day. Just like in the original game, the Dark Emperor can cause status changes based on a fighter's color. Red types generally get powered up. On a different subject, the Mii Fighter is wearing a Mii Force Helmet."

 

[Strawhat Jiggs]

So.... go red ranger?

 

[SchAlternate]

So he isn´t exactly a "Boss" per se.

Would that mean that bosses are exclusive to the Wii U version, or are there more out there than meets the eye?

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Finally, a decent PotD!

 

[FrostShock]

Hm, I was thinking he would use Level Down Gas like he does in Find Mii. It's odd that he gives the players buffs, but I guess it makes for an interesting stage mechanic.

I think you are over analyzing it.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Mii Force?

Usin' the force to push up dat female villager's skirt is what it looks like. Damn horny Mii.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

This is actually cooler than it being a boss.
I love how Mashpotato Samurai implemented the whole color thing from Find Mii.

 

[Tremendo Dude]

I'm worried about how this will work out in team battles.

 

[pants name guy]

I love all the aesthetic options soccereye is showing us! I have high hopes for the true expansion of the mii hats.

 

[Cen Silver]

Hooray for diverse Mii costume options!!! \o/

 

[bkslider]

I like all the costume options so far.

I hope the power ups don't happen all the time though. I hated Warioware in Brawl and this seems like it could be similar.

 

[Sahfarry]

Qnly the miis get powered up? Im a little confused by this.

 

[Kenith]

You know how I constantly complained before we knew about Miis that, if they were included, they would completely overshadow every other character?

Remember how everyone thought I was overreacting??

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

I'm worried about how this will work out in team battles.

Worry not. A previous update showed that you can play team battles without being forced to wear the team color.

Qnly the miis get powered up? Im a little confused by this.

I'm thinking it goes by which color swap you're using. If so, this would be the first time your color swap had a practical effect in combat.

 

[Sonovin]

Maybe after you kill him by getting the last hit you get the buff depending on your color?

I also hope it's like the gunner, if the costume change for the swordfighter, you get a lightsaber with this.

 

[RedRambo4]

Cool, I just made an Iron Man Mii yesterday on my 3ds, guess what type i'm gonna make him...

 

[Oracle_Summon]

Mii Force Sentei! Mii Force Sentei!

 

[KatKit]

Mii the force be with you.

 

[Aguki90]

Dark emperor is the most unique BOSS!

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Mii the force be with you.

 

[Nstinct]

Force helmet = Rebel Alliance helmet

Now I don't think this stage will be tourney legal, but it sounds really fun!

 

[LiteralGrill]

Well that strikes another stage out for competitive play on the 3DS, but it is a seriously unique mechanic that I never would have seen coming. I'm looking forward to messing around on this!

 

[Rasgar]

Given that it seems the Villager is the one who is getting a buff in this screenshot, I seriously doubt it.

What are you talking about?

 

[Brickbuild101]

Well, it's nice to see the Miis are still getting stuff from their own games, even though their movesets are completely original. Warrior's Way armor and Find Mii sword next!

 

[Man Li Gi]

That helmet....

Make it happen.

 

[L9999]

Why does Sakurai loves gimmicks so much???!!! Also, the Mii looks like a rebel pilot.

Well, it IS the helmet worn by the Mii Force ship pilot. :T

 

[Delzethin]

I haven't made it all that far in Find Mii, but why is the Dark Emperor giving out stat buffs? I mean, if he just got killed he wouldn't be in the shot, would he?

So now we have another stage with a major gimmick. I guess it depends on the strength of the buffs, but I'm a little concerned about how many gimmicky stages they've shown in the 3DS version so far. Have they seen the alternate FD forms as a reason to throw gimmicks into nearly every stage, thinking the competitive players will be fine with basically having one stage? How well could the metagame branch out if it heavily favors characters who are good on FD?

Then again, we probably only know about half the stages so far. And I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't brought up the more basic stages because they aren't as interesting or hype-creating.

 

[WwwWario]

I think this Girl Villager costume should get a longer skirt..

 

[KenboCalrissian]

Interesting... this harkens back to how Peach's costume could alter the probability that she'd find not-turnips with her down + B, and how colors could affect some characters' weight.

This stage has its own meta and tier list. I'm liking the way things are shaking up!

 

[DrizzyDrew]

I think I'll use the sword mii fighter firsttt

 

[Boss N]

I don't think we should immediately be calling out what stages to ban guys, we haven't even got a chance to play the game.

I for one am really excited for all the 3DS stages, I don't care if they're gimmicky they're still fun.

 

[Captain Zack]

Auto banned.

 

[itsameluigi1290]

Mii Force guy looks like a Power Ranger.

 

[Chukkaque]

All Im seeing from this is that they are going to use our personal Mii data from street pass, i.e. any gear we have attached or on will appear! I hope this is very true!!

 

[TripleDeluxe]

Is there anything of note in this picture? If not, I'm classifying it as a useless post again, like most post's lately.

...I didn't even see that happen, and yet I still think you are... '-'

QUICK, HOW DO I UNLIKE THIS POST?!?

...uhhh I mean... not that I mean anything with that or anything... I'm not a perv or anything... nooooo... >.>

Uhm... colors never affected anything other than appearance in all Smash games... °-°"

I wouldn't bet on that if I were you...

Yeah, everyone probably thinks you're still overreacting...

I literally just wrote that... >.>"
