I'd like Jigglypuff to get some kind of fairy move, possibly as a new FS.

Disarming Voice could work. It even matches with Jiggly being known for singing. Though I'm not sure how it would be implemented into Smash.

So I was playing Fire Emblem Awakening and I decided to look at my roster. When I looked at Anna's profile, I realized something.

Anna's birthday is on June 11.

June 11.

Oh. My. God.

LOL I set Robin's birthday to June 11th.

I think it would be funny if Jigglypuff got a similar version of Peach's FS and Peach got a new FS.

Jigglypuff's would be called "Center Stage" and in it, she sings the opponents to sleep.

edit: Jigglypuff could get a new Up+B to accommodate this.

*Ahem* I think we may have an issue by looking at today's pic of the day...

Is it just me...or does Mario's animation look like...random tripping?

It was mentioned in the Ridley thread, but that animation only happens in the case of forced tripping, which we pretty much know is already supposed to come back anyway. So, highly unlikely we're getting random tripping.

So... Eruption now trips characters??

Looks like even Mario's shocked how buff Ike has gotten.

well it has been years since first game

might be banana peel just flew off

It's called ****ing skidding. You run,you suddenly turn the direction of your control stick,your character turns the opposite direction quickly,you have unharmed recoil,going backwards a bit,and you (and this is what caught you off) lift ONE leg. Finally a patch of (in how I see it) dust comes out of that leg.

Tripping isn't entirely gone.. (Thanks DaBoss from GAF)

I would trip too if I got punched in the gut.

It's probably just some more unique knockdown animations, besides faceup and facedown.

I'm now imagining the competitive scene trying to turn this into a new advanced technique.

If so, I hereby deem it "buttdashing".

[PlasmaPuffball]

What changes to existing newcomers would you like to see?

For instance: PK Thunder now has a magnetic property to Ness and Lucas, so it's harder to miss when recovering.

I'd actually like Ness and Lucas to use PK Moves they actually learn in their games. Ness only learns PK Flash on his own. Neither of them ever learn PK Fire, PK Thunder, PK Freeze, PK Starstorm, or PSI Magnet. There are so many PK abilities that they learn in their respective games, and they choose to use the ones they never learn AND make them both use the same ones despite the amount to choose from? Always been kinda odd to me. But I will always like PKT2 regardless.

 

[Cobalsh]

If we're talking buffs and new moves, I definitely think Wario needs some sort of special move dedicated towards shoulder bashing, instead of a dash/side smash.

Ness needs PK Rockin instead of Star Storm. Or PK Love. Eh.

Lucas can do anything at all.

Captain Falcon shore wood be cule with a gun.

I did find that strange, but I don't think Sakurai will completely re-make Ness and Lucas. If anything, maybe they will be tweaked a little, and hopefully for the better. With Bamco helping now, we're seeing game balance already anyway.

Hey. It's another pic of Ike, and another small bump in Micaiah's chances!

 

[Deleted member]

Hey. It's another pic of Ike that has absolutely nothing to do with Micaiah's already low chances.

 

[The Light Music Club]

Anything that hurts Roy's chances helps her. And I'm pretty sure you said that it hurts Roy's chances.


Also, the lack of blue flame... I won't go there.

 

[Deleted member]

People complain about the blue flame don't seem to understand why he's called the Hero of Blue Flames.
Which is sad because I'm not a FE fan and I understand why.

It's not because he CONJURES blue flame.





....and no, Roy's chances being lowered does not make Micaiah's chances go up. If we're getting another FE character, it's going to be someone from Awakening. Most likely Chrom.

No, I think you don't know why people want him to have blue flames. He should have blue flame because that's what he uses to kill the final boss of the game. It has nothing to do with the fact that he's called the Hero of Blue Flames because the Fire Emblem has blue flames, or what ever the heck it has to do with it.

Check out 1:10 in this video. His sword has blue flames. (By the way, has some spoilers)

You are only proving my point about how people don't understand.

He doesn't use the blue flames for combat.
The blue flames are merely a Battle Aura.

You know what he DOES use to kill Ashera? His sword.

But he doesn't have red flames, he has blue flames. So what if it's a "battle aura" it still makes more sense for him to have blue flames, since he never has the red flames. It's part of how he looks when he fights. Ike fans want it because it makes more sense than the random red flames he has.

I know he doesn't have red flames. He shouldn't be using flames period. That's Roy's gimmick.

However, Eruption is essentially Roy's Flare Blade, so the fact he's using flames at all is throwback.

Yeah, but since it's more geared towards Ike's Radiant Dawn design, it would make sense for him to have a blue aura/flame because that's what he has in Radiant Dawn.

 

[Croph]

Boo for Ike still having that silly fire move.

I understand Smash is non-canon, but this is like one of the few things I'm not fond of. At least make him have some sort of blue aura, idc... anything but regular flames lol.

 

[Deleted member]

The design is irrelevant.
The intended function is to copy Roy. Roy used orange flame.

Great Aether, on the other hand, should be with blue flame/aura. The technique is not copying Roy, it's a powered-up version of one of Ike's signature techniques, and the attack he did to finish Ashera was Aether.

Wait, so you are positive that's intended function?

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

You know, the whole blue flame issue is a good thing to ask Sakurai at an E3 Q&A.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Even if it was originally Roy's that doesn't matter, it's Ike's now and thus should be changed accordingly, it's not like Lucario's Aura Sphere should be Shadow Ball either. We really shouldn't need to have moves paying homage to characters that have been cut on characters that have next to nothing to do with them.

 

[The Light Music Club]

I pray to God, those flames are being used by another character.

 

[Will]

It's strange to me that the biggest argument is about the color of an attack.

Why is it such a big deal? Zelda's special attacks never worked like they did in the Zelda games. And Yoshi's eggs never have rainbows follow them. THE VILLAGER NEVER USED HEADGEAR TO FLY.

Sakurai can do what he wants in his own damn game. Atleast appreciate he put the "Flames" part of his title in his attack.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

It's not really a big deal, more like a missed opportunity. Of course it's just the color of an effect, but it's still a little bit of an annoyance because it was an obvious little homage they could have squeezed in.

The main problem with Eruption is that it doesn't solves Ike's problems of being predictable and slow. Hence why I was coveting for a Gun Blade-esque attack to give Ike more utility.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

I don't understand why he would have blue flame for Eruption. I do understand why he would have it for Great Aether. It should be there this time.

 

[Pacack]

I'm hoping for this.

Maybe Eruption is actually a reference to his affinity?

 

[Arcanir]

So... Eruption now trips characters??

Potentially, or it was staged through other means (debug, items, etc.).

 

[Rockaphin]

After watching the list of characters playable at E3, do you all think we'll see the same during the Smash-Fest demos? Man, my brother is going to be mad when we go to play and his favorite(Ike) isn't there
