Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - June 19th

[Smashboards]

Smash WiiU & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day. Pac-Man's standard special move, Bonus Fruit. As you charge this move, the bonuses will change, and all of them have different characteristics and movement patterns when thrown. The bonuses cycle in the same order as in the original game, and the charge-up period doubles once you cycle beyond the orange."

This reminds me a lot of TF's Q from LoL. Should make for some interesting combo options and to throw off your opponent.

 

[TheLegendOfVenusaur]

Cool. Pacman looks like he's gonna be a very fun and unique character.

 

[Diana's Safe Landing]

fear the fruit

 

[Dr. Snakes]

I feel like it's a fusion of Peach's Turnips and G&W's Judgement. Should be interesting.

*E ftfy

Regardless, looks pretty nice.

 

[KayB]

Thank the lord it's not a random move.

 

[ChickenWing13]

Just what we need.. more bananas.

 

[The21stSmasher]

Hm, Interesting!

 

[Nietendodude]

One thing I kinda want to know is if this move can be stored for later use; like pick the fruit you want, then throw it later by pressing B again.

Another thing this confirms/deconfirms is that the classic Namco characters Pacman summons in the trailer are most likely part of one of his taunts. If they were a choice it would have been mentioned in this Potd.

 

[RascalTheCharizard]

Sakurai just keeps on giving us more stuff that encourages an emphasis on matchup/character knowledge lol

 

[The Original Robot boy]

So more info on recent characters i'm guessing we won't hear about anything on New comers or Veterans probably until two weeks or so

I think those are just summoned by using the special flag, no?

yay! more pixelcrap!

Well.... It's actually his W, E is the free auto attack buff.

 

[JDavisR (NIX)]

The new bonus fruit! The details...will be kept a secret.

 

[Sir Skaro]

He looks like he's either presenting a sacred object to a cult or he's a really bad sales man trying to sell fruit.

"Oh, but what's this? A strawberry? Oooooooooo! And for you, $30."

 

[B1gBandJazZ]

-insert Zelda treasure chest jingle here-

 

[Ultra*HappyCharge]

That or those Namco characters might be one of the custom moves for Pacman's neutral special ^_^

 

[LoneWolfRanger]

yay! more pixelcrap!

U mad?

 

[The Curious Volnutt]

Jeez Pac Man, not even Link is that dramatic with items

 

[DunnoBro]

"Ooh, maybe if I charge it enough, it'll cycle into a **** to give"

 

[Laserbeamed]

Will Pacman be the character of choice against campers?

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Da da da daaaaaaaaaa!
You got a Strawberry! You can feel the power of the Fruitforce flowing within you!

 

[Time/SpaceMage]

So it takes longer to charge once you hit the orange. At first I read it as the other way around.

Here's the fruit order he was talking about:

(Cue the beginning of "keys to victory" puns for Pac-mains)

(Heh! Pac-mains...)

Anyway, for those interested in the original Pac-Man mechanics, I found a very interesting article while checking to see if the halved speed was some kind of continuity nod. (Turns out the fruit would show up based on the number of dots eaten, so I didn't see a link there.)

 

[Magic_Shaunson]

Looks like Pac-Man's been training hard, it's nice to see the fruits of his labour.

 

[itsameluigi1290]

Guys, I work for Nintendo now and I want to show you this new leaked character.

Sadly, because I showed you that, I was just fired like 3 seconds ago, so I can't leak any more characters for you.
Anyway, I MUST learn more about Pac-Man's specials. They look so cool! I'm especially curious about that giant spaceship thing he was holding.

 

[Tacoo]

In Orange we trust!

 

[Wasp]

sorry ..?
i had no idea there was something inappropriate in this post but the whole bernice is ainappropriate to me... kina strange to get me a warning for this...

 

[Pacack]

So, only the cherry will be used competitively, huh?

 

[Capybara Gaming]

I have a feeling that the Namco summon is the Down Special.

 

[ender_idk]

I have a feeling that the Namco summon is the Down Special.

Or maybe it could be part of his character customization.

Also the fire hydrant is likely his down special.

 

[Nietendodude]

I have a feeling that the Namco summon is the Down Special.

Nope that his fire hydrant. The namco characters that are actually flying around is actually the S flag.

I think those are just summoned by using the special flag, no?

The namco characters actually flying around yes those are the flags. The summon I was talking about is when he quickly flashes to the galaga ship to mappy, to dig dug, etc. That I believe is a taunt.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

I have a feeling that the Namco summon is the Down Special.

I was thinking his Down Special was the ghost move.

Actually, looking back at the trailer, I'm not sure what his ghost move will be or do.
At one part you see him shoot out two ghosts like a Down Smash. At another part you see two ghost spinning around him like a taunt. And in another part you see a bunch of ghosts flying around the screen.

There's also the possibility that the ghosts are one of his Namco summons.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Side special then, perhaps?

The ghosts @ Mega Bidoof are only in his smashes. The ghosts flying around the screen are on his stage

No, the ghosts were flying around the Boxing Ring stage on the WiiU too.

The ghosts look like his smash attack from what the trailer showed. The Ghosts flying around in the Wii U version are from the S flag summon.

I'm sure and his side special is most likely the pellet attack where he makes a line of pellets and follows them in classic form.

As shown here.

My mistake.
It was the Wily Castle stage.

Well then PERHAPS they could be his tilts. I would be a little disappointed if he only had them as a taunt - but not overly butthurt on it.
