The updates for Thursday and Friday are all based on the Starfox franchise. Rather than do an update each, I waited til today to do a combined one. It was predicted what Friday’s update was by the stars and the moon (and the first aid course I had to do for work making me too busy to update :urg:) But anyway, lets get this post on the road. Fox’s special moves and a NEW Lylat system stage!

<strong>Fox’s Special Moves</strong>

Fox’s special moves. Well Sakurai’s finally come out and confirmed what the majority of were guessing, is that this (See above pic) is Fox’s reflector generator. For those who’ve never played as or against Fox (all 3 of you) by pressing down and B Fox whips out a reflector that reflect projectiles. It’s safe to assume (though not confirmed) that there is to be more lag time at the start of the attack, instead of the Instant-reflector in Smash Bros Melee and Smash 64. It has not yet been confirmed wether it does damage at close range either, but would be safe to assume so.

Fox’s Normal B attack is his old Blaster, which is like the one currently in Melee. It’s fast, though causes no knockback and, as Sakurai admits, is great for stealing kills in Time mode. Not much to talk about there. Now, lets jump abord the ship and go for a ride!

<strong>LYLAT CRUISE</strong>

<img src="http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage04/stage04_070622a-l.jpg" alt="Planet Express Ship, eat your heart out!" />

This is the Pleiades, a name shared by a group of Volcanoes in Antartica, 7 sisters of Greek Mythology, a Cluster of stars in Taurus, and a group of Aliens, that aparently live in said cluster in Taurus. If it’s been in a Starfox game before, let me know, as I can’t find any reference to one.

This ship isn’t just for show, as you’ll be flying through space (o rly), Asteroid Belts, dogfights (with Star Wolf maybe?) and in Corneria’s atmosphere too. Just don’t burn up on reentry (though it doesn’t seem to affect you.)

Incidently, if anyone recognises these ships (though I doubt it, they seem fairly generic) be sure to post here, or <a href="http://smashboards.com">on our forums</a> and let us know.

No, that’s his gun holdster. That’s where his gun blaster came from.

If I’m right, these are Fox’s other two special moves.

The 1st one would be his Up-b, while the 2nd would be his forward b. Why they didn’t show these other two, I won’t understand. *shrugs*

Has anyone notice anything different about this game? In SSB 64 and Melee, the weapons such as the reflector and the blaster, were never visible with the characters. Now in SMBB, we could actually see just where the gun is located and what devices look like. Zero Suit Samus has the same ordeal (having the gun equipped on her hips.) Looks like they’re adding in even more detail, but one has to wonder.

What would happen if we were able to have an item that distrupts devices? Characters like Fox’s shine and blaster and both of the samus’ weapons would be totally useless for a temporary moment. This could really stop campers if possible.

So, remember what I said in the other comment trail about Fox’s super? That he couldn’t “summon” the Great Fox because we’d be fighting on it?

Well, we aren’t fighting on it…

That’s one sexy shot of Fox in the first screenshot. He’s got a very well modeled… err… reflector generator. Yes that’s what I was gonna say. ^_^;

The ships in the last screenshot are the ships fighting in the first level of StarFox Assault, the Cornerian ones on the left, the Venomian ones on the right.

I also believe it’s safe to assume there will be some wind up to the reflector now. Besides just the balance thing, you think since Sakurai mentions he has to “take out” the reflector there will be a short animation of him pulling it off of his belt?
