I gots a copy~ Glad to answer questions

[Beninator]

Is Marth still slow and useless like he was in the demo, or did they speed him up?
Are sweetspots difficult to land like in Brawl, or do they take no skill, like in Melee (best moves to test this on are Captain Falcon's FAir and Marth's DAir)

 

[GloomyVic]

Whenever you unlock him, can you confirm Bowser Jr's alternate costumes are the other Koopalings and if the names change with the costume change (and the announcer also says their actual name vs Boswer Jr.)?

I've read on Kotaku it seems they all have separate art for each alt.

[SmashHole '82]

Sorry for sounding like a broken record, but here goes:
ALL CHARACTERS?!
ALL STAGES?!
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?!!!

 

[GloomyVic]

Do any custom special moves stand out to you?

I've yet to unlock them all. So i can't really tell.
But Mii fighter's special moves seems very OP to me.
Many of them are chargeable too.

After playing Smash Run(Field smash in JP) a couple of times.
It seems its the fastest way to get the moves unlock.
It takes 5 + 1~2 minutes per match so i'll play some smash run later.

 

[Dax]

I have a question and a suggestion:

the question is: can you please list HOW you are unlocking the characters as you play? That way I will not be forced to play Classic with random characters. For example I know Bowser unlocks Bowser Jr.

the suggestion instead is that you can also to try to play Vs. Matches. In all previous smash games you could unlock them via Vs. mode if you don't like repeating classic again and again.

 

[Articablack]

How did you unlock Lucina?

I'm hearing around the internet that you have to play 25 Ferox matches, trust me when I get my hands on it that's the first thing I'm going to do.

 

[GloomyVic]

What are Palutena's 3 victory poses (when she wins a match) like, and is her victory theme similar to Pit's? I've yet to have these curious questions answered.

Here's 2 for now.
And her victory theme is the same as Pit's (a theme from Kid Icarus: Uprising)

 

[Yikarur]

How do replays work? Do you still have a time limit on them?

 

[Malkior7]

Green Hill (Final destination form)

Currently I only have the following roster.
imgur.com/3pvAln2
As you all may know from the live streams via Twitch
I've yet to unlock
- Wario
- Game & Watch
- Dr. Mario
- Duck Hunt
- Captain Ganondorf

I hope Issac is in too...

Is it just me or does the GHZone final destination form look exact;y like the Project M Green Hill Zone (minus the swinging platform)?

 

[GloomyVic]

Do any custom special moves stand out to you?

Can you describe some of the custom moves you unlocked? And for which characters?

By the way, I meant to say this earlier, but welcome to the forum!

As I may have mentioned, smash run seems to be the best way to get stuff unlocked. Loot drops the most.
(eg. moves, trophies etc.)
Here's only 2 moves for Fox.
imgur.com/LhNTVsY
imgur.com/OwH92HV
N-special - Power blaster - shoots 1 time then puts back to his holster
slower speed slightly more dmg, speed similar to Falco's

Up-special - Mega drill - similar to the default Firefox but cosmetically wind element.
like the name it drills at the opponent
just imagine Ken's senpukyaku which sticks instead of knock back

 

[cochiseSMASH]

I've read on Kotaku it seems they all have separate art for each alt.
kotaku.com/people-are-starting-to-unlock-secret-smash-bros-charact-1633365911

That is pretty awesome and a very nice touch on the development team's side. I wish they actually had more of these sprinkled through the characters.

 

[Cakehoarder]

Which 3ds are you using? Are the controls comfortable?

 

[GloomyVic]

Lucina vs. Marth - how do their styles feel? I know Marth looked to be nerfed, and I'm more of an aggressive player myself, (PM Roy was my jam) so I feel a mighty need to know the differences.

Please note that I'm only a casual player.
To me they play the same. Speed seems similar as well.
I think the difference is really the hitboxes for dmg.
But again comparing the dmg for moves in training mode.
Can't really tell... sorry
I prefer Lucina tho cause she's pretty LOL

No! No! No Kotaku. Bad!

Thanks for the reply. It's so hard to get some of these questions answered with all the chaos around.

 

[Pegasus Knight]

GloomyVic, thank you for doing this. I have two quick Reflet/Robin questions, if it's okay.

1: How long does it take for the magic sword (sometimes called Thunder Sword or Levin Sword) to return once Reflet/Robin loses it?

2: Does the magic sword lose 'durability' (number of uses remaining) every time it is swung, or only when it actually hits someone? To put it another way, can you lose the sword without hitting the enemy?

 

[GloomyVic]

Speaking of custom moves, I heard you can choose them right at the character select screen, is that true?

There is a small icon on the bottom screen (top right corner)
Turn that to ON
When you select a character you'll get to the following screen.
imgur.com/hG1cJVP
There you can have 10 slots per character. (+1 Basic, +1 Random)
Select an empty slot to customize to your liking.

Additional info. In the customize menu.
Change color by highlighting the slot and press L or R

 

[cochiseSMASH]

Another question - can you list out some of the unique custom moves you can switch to? I'm particularly interested in Mega Man's and I've also heard somewhere else that Ness has Lucas's moves as alternates (that could just be made-up though given there was no source).

 

[GloomyVic]

How did you unlock Lucina?

No idea,
I just see the streams playing classic mode then getting challenged after finishing it.
So I've been playing that for now. I beat it with the following characters.
- Mario, Bowser, Marth, Palutena, Pikachu, Greninja, Lucina, Mii.
I just unlocked Duck Hunt after beating with Pikachu.
I'm guessing the unlock order is random?
Maybe it has something to do with the number of matches or stages.
Please let me know if you guys have new info for unlocking.

 

[BerryBomber]

Can you collect Dragoon pieces and the Kid Icarus laser pieces at the same time?

 

[PigmaskColonel]

I'm sorry that you have to answer so many questions, but is K. Rool in the roster?

Please, I need to know...

 

[GloomyVic]

How do replays work? Do you still have a time limit on them?

After you play a match, in the results screen you can press Y to save replays.
When watching it in collection, you can't rewind nor fast forward.
You can control the camera angle with the control stick and focus camera on character with L, R
You can pause at anytime and take pictures tho.

 

[GloomyVic]

Which 3ds are you using? Are the controls comfortable?

I'm playing on 3DS LL(XL).
No problems for me, but it's hard to tell what items you're picking up when the screen is zoomed all the way out for 4 player brawl.
Other than that nitpick I'm very happy with smash on the go.

 

[GloomyVic]

Can you collect Dragoon pieces and the Kid Icarus laser pieces at the same time?

I was curious about this as well.
It seems that when a match that spawns Dragoon pieces the laser won't spawn.
They both work very similar, collect 3 pieces and PWN.
I could be wrong but I haven't played a match which i both appears at the same time.

 

[ToddCam]

Have you played All-Star since unlocking any characters? It appears they don't get added to the combatants after unlocking. Can you confirm this?

 

[GloomyVic]

I'm sorry that you have to answer so many questions, but is K. Rool in the roster?

Please, I need to know...

No problem i'm actually very happy to share with all the smash fans out there.
I wish i could just Twitch but gots no webcam nor capture kit 3ds. Only pictures for now.
I've yet to unlock all characters.
But watching other streams, he's still MIA.
I really miss Lucas and Ice climbers tho. (still yet to be seen)

 

[Deleted member]

If possible, could you list all of Wario's color swaps, please? Thanks!

 

[GloomyVic]

Thanks for the reply. It's so hard to get some of these questions answered with all the chaos around.

It's ok. I feel bad for spamming replies to the questions.
I'm afraid many of the questions will get answered via other streams.
Especially the roster.

 

[Fire Tactician]

I was curious about this as well.
It seems that when a match that spawns Dragoon pieces the laser won't spawn.
They both work very similar, collect 3 pieces and PWN.
I could be wrong but I haven't played a match which i both appears at the same time.

I can personally confirm that Daybreak pieces and the Smash Ball can appear together- which wouldn't happen with the Smash Ball and Dragoon in Brawl.

 

[D-idara]

RIDLEYRIDLEYRIDLEYRIDLEY!? Where's Ridley!?

 

[GloomyVic]

Have you played All-Star since unlocking any characters? It appears they don't get added to the combatants after unlocking. Can you confirm this?

After you mentioned, I played all star with Palutena and Greninja
The already unlocked characters are MIA.
I'm guessing they will appear after all characters are unlocked.
GJ for noticing.

 

[Enigma14]

Do you mind showing Ness' colors and if theres a Ninten swap?

 

[BerryBomber]

Does the polar bear trophy really no longer have the IC lcon?

 

[GloomyVic]

GloomyVic, thank you for doing this. I have two quick Reflet/Robin questions, if it's okay.

2: Does the magic sword lose 'durability' (number of uses remaining) every time it is swung, or only when it actually hits someone? To put it another way, can you lose the sword without hitting the enemy?

I've just experimented with Robin/Reflet again.
I'm just a casual player so i could be wrong.
IMO very fun character, pretty strong, sword range similar to Marth.
How the attack works are,
Tilts - normal sword/iron sword? (doesn't appear to get destroyed)

Smashes - thunder sword
after some use around 5 full charged smash attacks/ 7~9 uncharged, it gets destroyed.
it will flash when it's almost used up.
Then the smashes uses normal sword/iron sword? (without thunder element)
around 8 seconds cooldown

Specials - work the same as above mentioned. During the cooldown time no attack comes out. only the animation.
N-special - El/Arc/Giga~thunder after 5 full charged the book gets destroyed (around 10 second cooldown)
Down-special - Black fog? holds the opponent and dmgs, slight % recovery
Side-special - Giga fire, similar to PK fire and has knockback
Up-special - El Wind, this one is interesting if the book is used up you can't recover.
He/She doesn't jump at all, so no recovery move/momentum.
Further testing is needed for the exact cooldown times and # of uses.

 

[Ganonthegreat]

If you get R.O.B. could you tell us how you unlocked him? He's the last character of the leaked roster to be found.

 

[GloomyVic]

For color alts a prevous famitsu scan has all starters

[Veggi]

Would you mind listing every single custom move you have unlocked? You don't have to take any pictures if it's too hard. This is super important to me. Thanks so much!

 

[Enigma14]

Thanks Gloom!

 

[goodspeed87]

Is Ganondorf any different? Are his moves virtually the same as before? His FS?

 

[sWiTcHeRoO [疾~斬]]

It appears so. It seems d-pad is locked for taunts.
Besides its difficult to smash without the thumb stick.
In addition, it seems you can't have more than one button per action.
You can only move them around to which button you'd like to map.
- Grab x 1
- Shield x 1
- Jump x 2
- Attack x 1
- Special x 1

Do you think you could try out remapping things the following way? I want to have this as my setup.

Attack - A
Special - B and R
Jump - X
Grab - Y
Shield - L

Also, I see there's a possible toggle for the circle pad, what does that do? And another thing, is there some sort of My Music for the 3DS version? I know they have only 2 songs per stage like Melee, but can you choose these two defined tracks at all from a list of them?
