Who mentioned that guy? Don't remember him mentioning this at all since the leak came from Nintendo UK.
Sakurai all but said that would be the case when he talked about how he doubted any future Smash game would have this kind of crossover potential. I'm 99% sure that was his idea of low-key warning everyone not to expect everyone to return for the next iteration, whenever that may be.
Do Mii costumes really have that big of an impact on how much they're actually played?
I think the Magic Burst change is to prevent Bowser from Tough Guy'ing through the move.
Could you still put at least a notes thread up for consistency? Browsing the archived threads listing is pretty handy for actually seeing what's happened over time, and a post for v5.0.0 that's really short or "this post intentionally left blank" is a lot smoother than having to dig around in SmashBoards's search until you discover that there's no post. Multiply that extra work out for however many people wander through curious and it's a small, but still probably decent chunk of time lost. (Link to this thread if you like?)
You can but the timing feels weirder since you have to do it while the move is pulled out.
Nana got her ledge trump back, so that is also pretty cool. Yoshi change also helps out a minor, but annoying aspect of the character.
That’s actually really neat to know. Makes going back to ledge safer too since you have Grenade to cover their edge guard.
, but just slightly less than ; apparently he has a weight value of 106 units, which is on par with and . I was actually expecting him to be heavier, given that he's... well, a bear, but he's also much smaller than I expected, barely taller than . Being both heavy and not sporting ridiculously ginormous body frame like or ? I can get behind that. a run for his money anytime soon, the amount of ways he can mix up his recovery almost rivals . He can jump/air dodge out of BOTH Wonderwing and Shock Spring Jump and on top of that, blow himself up using his own grenades to give him a boost, which gives him so much versatility when recovering and pretty much allows him to recovery from anywhere. Granted, the self blow-up doesn't send him flying like it does for Snake and his Shock Spring Jump is far more vulnerable than 's Up B, but I think that's a good trade-off for how much he can do in the air.'s and 's FAirs in that it has similar start-up to Mario's but landing lag on par with Cloud's, sporting only 11 frames of landing lag. Granted, it doesn't have the massive reach of Cloud's Fair, but it also feels much stronger, and compared to Mario's and Cloud's FAirs, has a much more consistent hitbox. I can definitely see this move being used often to create a wall, especially if the opponent is at kill percents.'s or 's bombs, but the reward you get for using it correctly is massive; you can easily net about +30% off of connecting one of these bombs through Wonderwing or FAir if you're out of wings. That and Wonderwing kills maaaddd early. That said, I feel like people might actually have to be conservative about using the move too often. You need to use it sometimes for recovering, so people will have to weigh in how important the move is as a recovery option before using it as a ledge trapping tool (oh yeah, and Banjo basically hugs the edge of the stage with this move; that could give it really good utility as a 2-frame option, depending on its hitbox), a neutral break or as a follow-up off of Rear Egg.'s NAir; that, and as a landing option, it feels too inconsistent in terms of where the opponent ends up; sometimes you can get a Jab off of it, but other times the opponent just ends up behind you. It and BAir definitely have their uses as options edgeguarding given are both multi hitting attacks and have long durations., where he kind of looks mediocre at first glance; you sort of have to dig deep to find all the really good stuff about him, and I think players will be able to do this (Leffen's already doing this right now). Secondly, he feels more... "mellow" compared to and ? That's not to say he's bad, but he doesn't really have a flashy gimmick like Command Selection or Arsene's comeback factor (though Wonderwing is pretty nutty); to be honest, I think that's a bit of a relief. I like Hero, but after the disaster that was the Hero ban drama, I think it's good to have a bit of cool down with a character that's mostly just solid without packing something that's super out of this world lol. And feels like that.

Nintendo UK just leaked the SNK copyright, they didn't actually leak Terry himself.
...Off topic but Nintendo purism isn't a great look.
There’s a least three potential first party characters:
Counter Throw and Witch Time. (Which both destroy it.)) and area-coverage or held command grabs () have call-out potential against Wonderwing, which is otherwise excellent as described here by many.Once it was confirmed to be SNK, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who it was.
Minor nitpick on this post:Played with Banjo since he was released. He seems to be a weird hybrid of a trapper/mid range control character. His normal and nade eggs are quite disruptive at those ranges, particularly normal eggs given they bounce twice and Banjo can place another out as the prof is ending. The also bounce low on the ground meaning they’ll slide right under a lot of projectiles and hit the opponent. Nade eggs also clang with seems to be about everything and b reversing them is simple (Ness gives you a lot of b reverse practice thankfully.) You’ll definitely want to be B-Reversing them as your moving towards your opponent. I’m having trouble seeing a lot of use in actually throwing them though, they bounce away before you can actually grab them so you have to spend time moving towards them all while timer is cooking on them. I only was finding myself a quick moment to throw them which didn’t give me the time to analyze how I wanted to throw them but this is likely a practiced skill.
His recovery may seem poor but it’s not so bad, with a DAD and his two double jumps plus wonder wing he can cover plenty of horizontal distance, you’ll want to use his up b close to the ledge as it only gives him two frames of invulnerability upon release so it’s pretty easy to hit him out of it, the shock pad isn’t nearly as annoying as being hit by like Sonic’s spring so no worries there either.
Wonderwing is a good move, restricted to fives uses for a very good reason. He scares you from pressing any buttons at mid range, I can see trying to land against Banjo being a pain for jumpless characters between wonderwing and nade eggs bouncing around taking up a lot of stage. The move is also really strong at the ledge, he can cover two frames just by using it into the ledge very easily. This is going to really be a pain for characters with very easy to snipe ledge grab animation or characters that don’t snap ledge. (
His normals all see good, I need more time to get a read on them. He seems like he’s designed around playing with a lot of 50/50, his late dash attack and down throw are good for setting these up.
He definitely an interesting character, he doesn’t have anything that just sticks out like a Aresen or Hero’s everything. He’s gonna take some time.
recovery has been improved much from smash 4. She snaps to the ledge at almost any point from her up-b except for right at the beginning and all the way at the end when she does a backflip. Her ledge grab animation was also vastly improved from smash 4, where she was notoriously easy to 2-frame. Now she keeps her head quite low and as far as I know she has one of the better ledge snap animations in the game.
I'm just hoping Buster Wolf is his final smash. A friend of mine said it would likely be part of his normal moveset, but I just can't see that happening?
Terry likely is similar to the street fighter characters except he is a mid-range fighter as opposed to a long range or close range fighter. Meaning that he’ll less explosive power than Ken but still be pretty good in the explosive category.
