Smash 3DS 3DS Japanese Release Build Demo Event Day II (Keep questions for AMA after event) [TY Zipzo's Wife]

[Nu~]

You'll want to play him before you say that.

He falls like he's made of air.

Well I did expect that, he even fell like that back in his pac-land game. He still doesn't seem so sluggish to me, but I guess i should try him first

 

[HeavyLobster]

I'm curious to know if you can notice any increase in hitstun at higher %s. Someone was saying that hitstun goes up as you take more damage, so it would be nice to know if you can notice anything like that happening.

 

[Fuqua]

are you not allowed to film the demo footage? why is there only 1 video of the event? :/

 

[SwagzillaForilla]

Okay, I've got to know.

Does Bowser have a voice? Or is it still just sound effects?

 

[EricTheGamerman]

Damn it Wolf's chances are looking grim now, so disappointing that Dr. Mario was more important to Sakurai as a clone than Wolf was, oh well. It was an unfortunate expectation of mine to probably see a Star Fox character cut and it looks like it may have happened despite him being the most unique of the three.

That said man does the gameplay footage of the game look really, really nice. It just looks so smooth and on the big TV looks great, makes me wish I could play Smash 3DS on the big screen as well. Shame that Pac-Man may not be that great, but I'll have to play him to decide that for myself, and if Robin plays as well as people say then my already huge hype for Robin shot through the roof. A lot of great news coming out of this demo and we got one week til we know just about everything, the hype train is about to finally reach its destination.

@Zipzo, can you confirm if Meta Knight's aerials are laggy or not, and if he has a Dark Meta Knight costume and Galactia Knight costume like some people have been asking? It would be very much appreciated, thanks.

 

[The Real Gamer]

I think I speak for everyone when I say...

 

[ShredPix]

You know, it's still amazing how many Guests we still have on here.

 

[JamietheAuraUser]

From the video footage (a.pomf.se/dgthdo.webm) it looks like Falcon's Up Special does have a bit of directional control. It also lets him ledge snap from a pretty significant distance, at least on the Find Mii stage.

 

[~Burst~]

So megaman doesn't get a helmet-less or protoman costume
but they found time to give little mac 4 different skins that aren't just color variants?
If they were gonna dangle costumes in my face they could have at least spread it out across the roster instead of giving characters 2-4 alts and some none.

 

[CriminalNinja]

Male and Female Robin have one hairstyle each. Alts change their hair colors and the tint of their robes to match.

Thanks Zipzo :D

 

[DakotaBonez]

So like, is there a thread that showcases all of the new alt costumes and such discovered?
So Lil Mac has 16 alts?
Whatabout his hoodie alt? Are there different colored hoodies?

 

[APC99]

You know, it's still amazing how many Guests we still have on here.

That's the power of Reddit, my friend.

I'm extremely hyped to see this stuff in action. Robin and Shulk are sounding powerful, but I'm kind of bummed out about Marth being nerfed more... Maybe Lucina will be better. Still holding out for Little Mac and Mega Man, but these characters are all seeming quite powerful in the right hands...

 

[~Burst~]

All characters have 8 variations be it color pallet or skin swap.
So the alts he has eat a space from his 8 different variations.

 

[NobleClamtasm]

I know Zipzo's sleeping right now, but I'm surprised there are no answers to these yet, so if anyone knows then feel free.

How exactly does Robin's Thunder work? Is it identical to Samus's charged shot? (ie: reverts back to the weakest Thunder after using Thoron). Or does it stay charged as Thoron until the tome breaks?

Also, does Pits arrows travel any faster when it is fully charged? Every single Pit footage shown at E3/SDCC never charged his arrows, which is frustrating.

 

[obeymalleo]

@Zipzo, can you confirm if Meta Knight's aerials are laggy or not (and overall moves and how they felt), and if he has a Dark Meta Knight costume and Galactia Knight costume like some people have been asking? It would be very much appreciated, thanks.

 

[ミスティック Speed]

Well....this is quite a lot to take in.
So basically Zipzo played the demo and informed us on everything he found. Is he going to gather more info, or is this it till release?

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

Ignore this.

 

[Staarih]

Apparently he's going to the event again tomorrow and will answer more questions then.

He said he's gonna be there again tomorrow and post what he finds.

Thank you guys. Can't wait to see what else he finds

 

[Aaronrules380]

Tomorrow is more like tonight though due to timezones

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

@ Swedish_Otaku I'm confused. Why did you quote that part of my post?

Also, I'm seeing that there are a lot of missed chances as far as alternate costumes. Quite a shame really.

1. One thing that caught my attention was an Advance Wars assist trophy. The little 16 bit advance war sprites come out and march at your enemy with the tanks and stuff. It's funny.

That one is in Brawl.

The only thing I'm a little miffed about are blast zones being a bit too big. This leads to characters surviving at rather high %s, leading to matches lasting maybe longer than they should.

I don't understand how that is a bad things, for me that's a good thing.

I am calling it Sakurai bias. The only reason Little Mac have 16 different alts is because Sakurai worked in Punc-no, wait, he didn't.

I don't get why some characters get alts and others don't, but I think it is no use complaining

 

[ミスティック Speed]

So wait, I heard that Meta Knight has a Galacta Knight and Dark Meta Knight costumes....is this true? I didn't see it on the summary thread....

 

[Devil G.]

I can't wait to see some Falcon footage, he definitely seems interesting from what I've heard so far.

 

[Swedish_Otaku]

Sorry I don't know what happened, I meant to type this:

BUT on the other hand,

-Still large blast zones
-Extremely fast rolls and shield drops

These are good things.

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

Sorry I don't know what happened, I meant to type this:


These are good things.

Eh, I'm still iffy on the really fast rolls and shields.

Hope you weren't insinuating I'm calling bias when I'm not.
Whatever the case, you have characters with multiple alts and character with none.
I've never had problems with it in the past. When you promote it like its a new feature everyone will be included in and only have a small portion of the roster receive it, expect disappointment.
Then throwing salt on the wound, giving some more than 1 alt, that is where I show frustration.

Do we have any idea on how different the costumes are between little mac and wire frame? He might just have 8 costumes that are the same for both models, and wouldn't be hard to transfer.

 

[Anomilus]

I don't know if it's been discussed or addressed, so somebody just let me know and/or forward me to an answer if it has been.

Any information about the Find Mii stage? Specifically regarding the Dark Emperor? I hope its behavior and its related mechanics are explored. It would give us further insight as to how Sakurai is handling "boss characters" other than Yellow Devil. That is, if Dark Emperor is similar to Yellow Devil.

So yeah, putting this out now (since I couldn't because they decided to close the AMA topic just when I had a relevant question to ask...~__~) so that it can be seen, discussed, and have attention drawn to it for future research.

 

[Super Fawful]

Apologies if this has already been addressed, but this is a rather large thread. Are Mr. L and Dark Bowser alts? And is this the final build of the game with all alts final or is it just a demo with not everything there? Also is the Paper Mario stage playable and what sections does it have? (Praying for Super Paper Mario section)

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

it just accrued to me

bowser jr alts are the other kooplings right?

and little mac has 16 alts

woulden't that mean bowser jr might get a shoot the moon size of 64 pattette swaps (8 for each koopling)

 

[TheOthin]

It's hard to imagine any alts from the game would be removed after this, given that it's certainly shipped by now. So if a character has eight alts identified, then unless they get extras like Little Mac (or Wario), that should be it.

No. Olimar is split in half, four for him and four for Alph. Bowser Jr. might have 16, but not more than that.

It's definitely a demo, as some characters didn't have 8 costumes, but Sakurai already confirmed that characters will have +8.

 

[Beninator]

I must know - Does Marth still suck? Or did they fix him?

 

[Gold_Jacobson]

So, could some alts still be missing?

Am I miss counting? But it sounded like Toon Link didn't have 8. He had:

G, Bl, Red, Viol, Throwback, and Dark.

What were the other two?

This mean not all costumes are set?

 

[Zenitho]

Some costumes will be unlockable if i remember correctly
