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

[Smashboards]

Super Smash Bros. for WiiU & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai said: "Pic of the day. Master Hand's glove rips open, and a mysterious substance we're calling the swarm, er, swarms out. The amount of this substance determines the shape of your final opponent, and you will have to launch it away in small clusters at a time. The higher your intensity, the denser the substance will be."

 

[Nixondough]

That is a beautiful early update. 10/10, Sakurai

 

[FirestormNeos]

I BET IT'S SOMEHOW LINKED TO TABUU.

 

[Deleted member]

Eh.. Master Core? Cool pic anyways.

 

[Mythra]

Sakurai was 3early today, nice pic btw, Master Core rocks

 

[Soul.]

Master Core it seems. Hey, I guess there's "no more" menus.

 

[PrincessZelda19]

Finally a boss! Great work! Looks so magical!

 

[JUr]

The swarm that swarms! hehe

 

[Deleted member 268018]

Hrm.. It seems interesting. Too bad there's no Adventure mode, because Nintendo decided to go all copyrightophobic.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

SAKURAI

Have you never heard about spoilers?

 

[Mr.Seven]

I just wanna see more WiiU pics.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

LOL, I just realized my new custom title is totally appropriate for this

 

[KurashiDragon]

oh sakurai. You and your spoilers. Good thing I already know XD

 

[Vaidya]

I don't get why this relates to Tabuu. The thing originates from Master Hand, so how does that have anything to do with Subspace or Tabuu? Master Core is basically the logo of the Smash series/universe, which is an enemy of Subspace. If anything, Master Core is pretty distant from Tabuu. It's almost like the essence of the world/universe.

[Vaidya]

Master Hand is the creator of the Smash world. In real life, Sakurai would be the creator of the Smash world. They're basically alike.

Mind = blown

 

[ミスティック Speed]

Master Core....

 

[Ramin Flage]

Why haven't we gotten an update on Crazy Hand yet?

 

[AustarusIV]

Marth looks so boss in that picture.

Not as much as Master Hand, though.

 

[Espi]

I never knew about this. 10/10 wow such news

 

[Aninymouse]

This is the one thing I haven't totally spoiled for myself yet. When the game comes out in October, Master Core will still be a totally new experience for me

 

[Fire Tactician]

This update chills me to the CORE.

 

[Fluggerson]

Master hand = Sakurai
Substance = Fan-base not getting what they want

GUYS WE'RE KILLING SAKURAI. WE'RE CORRUPTING SAKURAI'S BRILLIANT MIND!!!!! EVERYONE STOP AND GIVE HIM SOME LOVE <3

 

[AIM0001]

So is Master Core really his name? If so I think that's awesome! Can't wait to see this in beautiful HD in the coming months!

 

[mario123007]

That thing was damn hard to fight.

 

[BerryBomber]

Kirby 64 Dark Matter, anyone?

 

[Mythra]

Despite the fact that this pic buries even more the "Master Hand is a kid playing with his toys" theory. I still cherish that Glove using entity because the Opening scene of the N64 version where he brought that dolls to life, that dolls became trophies with time, and now theres a lot of them, a lot of new challengers to fight him, and that's why Master Hand took his glove off...

BECAUSE THE TRUE BATTLE STARTS HERE

 

[Brickbuild101]

O mai. Big zurprize. Biiger den Ridleh and Bigleh'z son, even thought they're's brothers. lolz

 

[Crap-Zapper]

Master Hand is the creator of the Smash world. In real life, Sakurai would be the creator of the Smash world. They're basically alike.

Mind = blown

So this means... the Final boss is and always has been... SAKURAI?!

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Master Core it seems. Hey, I guess there's "no more" menus.

*2 days Later* Sakurai posts a Wii U menu

 

[Rage NF]

hmm it look like fun!

 

[RascalTheCharizard]

SAKURAI

Have you never heard about spoilers?

This was the one thing I thought he would never spoil pre-release.

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

Master Core reminds me of the antagonist in The Nightmare Before Christmas; the one who, under his burlap exterior, was actually a huge pile of bugs working in tandem.

 

[Vaidya]

So this means... the Final boss is and always has been... SAKURAI?!

I guess so. In real life we fight Sakurai as well, urging him to put in our desired characters.

[MM720]

I'm kind of hyped to see what this thing's trophy reads. Hopefully we'll get some insight into the true meaning of Master Core...

 

[Chris Sifniotis]

...The amount of this substance determines the shape of your final opponent, and you will have to launch it away in small clusters at a time...

Does that mean the final boss changes every single player game? That would rock hard core excellence.

 

[The One Who Wrote This]

Does that mean the final boss changes every single player game? That would rock hard core excellence.

Spoiler

Essentially there are 6 forms to the final boss. Form 1 is the traditional hand(s). If you are at a high enough difficulty, you go to form 2 after beating form 1 and do the rest of the battle. If not, if you are at a lower difficulty that is still high enough, you skip to form 3. If it's lower than that difficulty, you start at form 4 instead. And if you are at a lower difficulty, you only fight form 1. And if you are at a LOWER difficulty (or don't choose the harder final boss path), there's no Crazy Hand.

I forget the specific difficulties though that unlock each form, but using a continue lowers the difficulty by 0.5 each time. I will not spoil the forms though.

 

[Varia31]

Master Core it seems. Hey, I guess there's "no more" menus.

Tomorrow on PoTD: "How to navigate to the sound test."

Okay but seriously, I hope to see more pics of stuff like this. The Master Core boss fight was crazy looking from the videos I've seen. I look forward to fighting it in the Wii U version, assuming it'll be there. Don't see why it wouldn't be. I hope to see some Wii U pics soon!

 

[Tino]

That looks like a lot of hardcore fun. I assume those swarms are Master Hand's true form perhaps?

P.S. Where are the menus?

 

[Turmalinium]

This kind of reminds me of these SPE enemies.
