How to hit someone on the back.

[Color Man EXE]

In previous Smash Bros. games, a character attacks another character on the back, but the damaged character automatically switches to the front instead. Right now in Smash Bros. 4, Sakurai will add back-damaged animations(like back-damaged blowback animations). If you have questions or comments, let me know.

PROOF! is needed

Going to go ahead and ask on which basis this statement is held as well.

If you're going to post something that implies confirmation, you need to have a source to the claim, or else the thread would just be a waste of space.

Instead of shouting out "PROOF," can't you just go and see for yourselves if you don't believe him? He proposed a new animation for the next Smash. If it already exists, then please feel free to let us all now.

iirc, the character that is being hit from behind will turn around. I am not sure, but it isn't too difficult to check. A better animation for that would be a great detail for the next installment.

EDIT: I just checked, and the OP is right; the character turns around when you hit it from behind. Now when we have gotten that fact out of the way, can we start the discussion?

We weren't complaining about that,we knew that.
But he said :"Sakurai will add back-damaged animations" with no source.

I actually have no clue what's going on here. Links?

Would be nice

Oh, I see. Yeah, that was indeed pretty random.

I don't think it'll be added. It's pretty inconvenient being faced away from the stage when launched by the opponent.

PROOF!

PROOF!

YUSH PROOF!

any ways like some else said he say WILL with out backing it up so i want PROOF!

Smash has never had those animations. A namco bandai associate proposed it maybe? Sakurai wouldn't bother putting it in.It would be space that he coould be cramming more in with. We all know sakurai loves to cram games with stuff.

PROOF OP!?

Might not work well with CCing, I would lose the option of downtilt's and uptilts after a successful crouch cancel if my character faces the opposite direction. I'm kind of jumping the gun a bit assuming cc's will be in smash 4 I guess.

You like boys, and so do you.

 

[Orngeblu]

Sounds really cool. :3 We'll have some realistic animations now.

A really kinky title for a thread indeed.
