Actually from what I've seen it seems like launch trajectories and fall speed are much closer to Melee's than Brawls. At least from what I can tell.
Even melee is WAYYYYY easier to get into than most fighting games. I think easy to learn and difficult to master is a great mentality for smash. It gives the game more depth and adds more value.
L-canceling has nothing to do with skill, just if somebody looked it up. I'm a complete Melee noob without a main who can L-cancel effectively. Any depth coming from L-canceling is just that it allows for more combos, something outright halved lag could easily do. There's more than enough "difficult to master" to go around already, and an extra button press adds as much depth as a empty kiddie pool is deep.
Hey, good find! I think you're right cause I don't think you could do that in Brawl, you could only attack or airdodge out of tumble, but Sonic and Samus just look normal after tumble so they must have wiggled out

You can, you just wiggle the control stick.
I want to agree with Zetta, my purpose to reply has no other purpose to agree with that screenshot of someone's comment
so true. I don't wanna get my hopes up and then end up disappointed.
Yep. Looking at the Smash Direct, there was never a moment when a character dodged out of hitstun. They airdogded once the smoke stop spawning and they went into tumble. I'm not getting my hopes up, but it's a big coincidence that every single time the airdodge happened after hitstun. Or the people playing could just aren't quick.
Are we sure that Fox is not fast falling in the ssb4 footage?
Is he flashing? Characters flash when fast falling again.
I believe there is now a flash indicating when a character enters fastfalling, like 64.
Oh, thank you. Since there isn't a flash, I'm guessing he wasn't fastfalling? I'm sorry about this, I don't really have too much knowledge when it comes to this.
That is correct. That's his normal falling speed, which leans closer to Melee than Brawl, if I'm not mistaking. It might not mean a lot for the rest of the cast though. They might be working on falling speed values on a character-to-character basis. I'm fairly certain that Samus too falls a bit faster and that Luigi still retains his absurd floatiness.
I see. I remember Samus being one of the more floatier characters in Smash, and Luigi does retain his quirky floatiness as well. This is why I can't wait until E3 so more footage can be shown, and things can be analyzed deeper.
Of course, but I personally would like it a lot if Samus was as floaty as she was in Zero Mission (read: not floaty at all) as that would probably benefit her character a lot. Too bad it's not the case.
I just hope people record properly. Like high quality, stable footage and make sure they hold their phones horizontally!
Directional influence. It's the act of influencing your trajectory as soon as you're hit with a move. People use it to get out of combo strings or avoid dying early. For instance, in the case of a vertical killing move, DI-ing to the sides will give you a more diagonal trajectory, reducing the chances of you crossing the vertical blast zone.
I dont know, it's hard to tell. Probably not though. I think it's time to stop watching the direct over and over again hoping to find new info. In a couple days a lot of our questions will be answered. E3 HYPE. Only about 2 days left
I actually liked Brawl Luigi a lot :D just feels right for Luigi to be all floaty, slippery and awkward.
I don't remember how he was in 64, but Luigi has always been one of the most floaty characters in any Smash title. Even in Melee, dude was practically flying whenever he jumped. I don't know about how slippery he will be in 4, but I wouldn't be afraid as far as his floatiness is concerned.
I think that may be an auto-cancel, which seems to happen when you hit the ground at a certain part of the move. Look it up on the SmashWiki
I know it's kind of late to bring this up now but when you say landlag are referring to just the lag from landing after a jump or end lag on aerials upon hitting the ground?
Both will contribute, but mostly the latter.
Actually we see Bowser use the old breath in the end of the smash direct, that was likely a custom move.
It's still amiibo/custom fighters... And there's plenty of items and moves with wind effects.
Customization doesn't change animations. It's probably an aerial vB.
