Link's Spin Attack Had More Distance in the Trailer?

Look @ 0:13 and 1:41. Is it just me, or does Link's spin attack look bigger, more diagonal, and goes slightly higher?

 

[Tenki]

Yes, it does o_O;
The one that we have looks blocky compared to that one. I tried angled Brawl and it still doesn't even look close to that spin attack.


on a random note,
Check out that *** at 1:33

 

[Bouse]

Look at 1:50 +1:57 too, it's not just the attack it's the length of his sword. Nice to know at the beginning they intended on giving us the Master Sword before they gave us the "One butterknife to rule them all."

this topic makes me sad

But that's not possible. Otherwise Link's Spin Attack would actually be considered useful, and we can't have that now can we?

Spoiler

Me thinks Sakurai's mind has some issues.

 

[Onomanic]

Omg, this makes meh mad! >:E If he was supposed to have a better, but not as flashy, spin attack, why not give it to him. I think the effect model (is it a model?) is from Melee. And I'm not sure, but is it higher? Yes, looking back, it looks much higher and more effective.

Oh and look at the very end. How is Fox holding his blaster out like that? It's kinda cool..... but not in the final version. We need hacks, people, hacks for his gun in his hand!

 

[4Serial]

WOW it looked so sick there! WHY THE HELL DID SAKURAI CHANGE IT?
This is proof. Sakurai WENT OUT OF HIS WAY to make Link bad.

Also, at like 0:32, his f-tilt looked a bit faster, but less range.

 

[LinkSpecialist]

This might be why Link's Spin attack looks worse than it did in the trailer. I'm not too sure.

Of course, I think there was a possibility of taking Smash Bros. in a more casual-gaming direction. For example, we could make the art style simpler...

Sakurai went out of his way to kill competitve play. <_<;

Not much we can do bout it now...

**** son, link would of been like melee's marth (gunsword) with that thing in his hand

marth's sword in melee can't be classified as a freaking sword, it hits you from like 7 ft away

 

[Looticforgothispassword]

Lootic is now a very sad panda. why didnt you just let this thread pass down into oblivion, I even sent the guy a PM to answear so i didnt bump this thread... and well wtf, sometimes I think sakurai put all the AT:s in the game by purpose. But who cares, stop think of how it COULD be, accept it Link is not good...

Im going to edit this post if I want to say anything else...

 

[Terywj [태리]]

This topic made my puppies sad.

 

[4Serial]

I'm guessing Toon Link was part of the delay.
They made Link's recovery a bit worse to show some difference between the two.
They probably also made Link fall a lot faster and gave him a really bad double jump because of it.
I hate Toon Link.

have* =P

but yeah, it's Toon Link's fault, literally. They made him and decided,"let's show the difference between Link and TL."

 

[PKNintendo]

Lol. Sakurai noticed that Link had something going for him, so he took it away from him.

So if you happen to combine the two you'd get the true Brawl Link?

 

[Onomanic]

Lol, probably. I have come to the conclusion that Sakurai hates Link.

 

[LinkSpecialist]

Eh?

Lol, probably. I have come to the conclusion that Sakurai hates Link.

...I think your right. No joke, I really do think he hates link. I just looked at something that I didn't see before.

The trailer, take a look at:

0:10
0:18
0:56
1:17
1:30

What do they have in common? Honestly

 

[qmann28]

Yeah, I noticed this when I saw the trailer again after playing Brawl. His recovery seems to work better and looks a lot better too.

 

[Jink]

I think that they thought that Link having a two sided, fast (delayable), long range attack plus all the projectile would had been too much, so they tuned it down.

But after all, I like how it is now, yes it would have been better that big, but its ok.

 

[NintenJoe]

they have every right to "tone down" his spin attack, but they can at least have the courtesy to give him a second jump. (His current 2nd jump doesn't count) Every other character has one, even Yoshi!

 

[PKNintendo]

Nope. Sakurai detests Link.

 

[Link Hero of Hyrule]

his spins not the problem its his 2nd jump, compare it to every other char in the game, he doesnt go as high as any1 else

 

[Link Hero of Hyrule]

link cant jump onto the middle upper lvl on the lya lya lvl (soz bout the spellin) even wit his 2nd jump, the only way u can do it is to pull out a bomb at his highest point landing him on the upper middle stage....just

 

[NiRV7iQ]

Anyone else notice that Link was the character used as a punching bag to show off everyone elses moveset the most?

when, where?

 

[LinkSpecialist]

when, where?

I said it before and I'll say it again.

0:10
0:18
0:56
1:17
1:30

I think he meant in the trailer.

IT'S NOT OKAY
LINK COULD HAVE BEEN BETTERr

 

[Swordplay]

This thread killed 10,000 puppies around the world all of whom died of depression.

 

[4Serial]

no.
sakurai did.
he tripped them to death or something

 

[sasook]

.................


This topic saddens me, thoroughly.

 

[lilmister]

if they were going to nerf his spin attack by making it a charge one for full strength...then they could have at least added the magical property of a fully charged spin attack like in LoZ OoT!

 

[•Col•]

Yep! ^_^ I realized this when Sakurai mentioned that you could charge the spin attack... In that video, Link still had his amazing Spin Attack from Melee.... :D (It even looks a lot cooler....) It's just cuz the game wasn't finished when that trailer was released... At the one part, you can see Kirby using his hammer in the air, which was that spinning move, if you've forgotten. I miss the old spin attack....

 

[4Serial]

yeah the magical spin attack lol, that **** would've been crazy with it's super range. they should have let Link slowly move while he was charging it, but what the hell <_< Also could have let Link charge it in the air to increase it's range like Diddy's to even things out. And nerf TL. I hate sakurai
