Miiverse Daily Pic Thread: 2nd Edition (Updated 9/19)

Theres also the possibility that we might not get either even if people won't hear of it.

It'd be a damn shame but I could actually see this happening.

We're either getting one of Dixie/K Rool or we're not getting a DK newcomer at all.

Such a shame pairing Dixie with Diddy and giving Rool his own roster slot would have been a great way for both of them to make it in... Oh well.

 

[SchAlternate]

MONKEY! *insert pic of Mario movie Koopa here*

Anyhow, a reveal this soon, huh? That's pretty sweet!

 

[Arcadenik]

Guess forced tripping is still in. Also deconfirms the Diddy-Dixie duo.

It either deconfirms the Diddy & Dixie team OR the Banana Peel item is confirmed. You never know with Sakurai and his mind games.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Looks like we got Monkey D. Luffy in smash.

 

[RomanceDawn]

Anyone else find it kinda strange that they used his old jetpack instead of his Returns or Tropical Freeze one?

Yes actually. Sakurai say's they remake the characters from scratch each time but that is obviously not the case with any of them. The functionality of the rocket barrel in the latest Country titles don't really mean much ultimately since the Smash rocket barrels don't function like the DK64 rocket barrels anyway outside of a final smash.

Either way though I don't really care. I like both rocket barrel designs.

No Guybrush, it's Monkey D. iddy!

 

[Admiral Pit]

Although I hate the Bananas returning, at least the so-called Diddy/Dixie tag team thing is debunked.

 

[SchAlternate]

Also, it's about damn time we have a character with a red background. There has been a serious lack of red in the page. This is why we need Roy back ASAP.

 

[FalKoopa]

I'm also glad that the Diddy + Dixie tag team will probably never be a thing now.

 

[MasterofMonster]

Well, they can still have changed Diddy's Side Special to become a 'tag in, tag out' move with Dixie jumping in. Just saying~

But anyways, Diddy looks great. ^^ Even if he's just like Before when it comes to moves, Sakurai is certanly stretching his abilities here.

Diddy. And we shall now call him... Monkey D. Luffy.

 

[Staarih]

We all know Sakurai is unpredictable but I find it hard to believe that such a major part as Dixie tagging along with Diddy would be hidden when Diddy himself is revealed, with many of his moves shown as well. Diddy x Dixie doesn't seem to happen, which really makes predicting a possible 3rd DK rep harder (basically either Dixie or K. Rool, preferably both!).

 

[andimidna]

Probablility of Dixie as her own character just shot up... high! I think things are looking pretty good for her.

The tag team idea wasn't bad, but this might be better.

 

[Baskerville]

Dixie as her own character does her more justice than lumping her with Diddy.

 

[mygamecube]

Diddy won't be revealed

I EAT MY ****ING WORDS

 

[-TAG-]

Well with tripping still in the game, it makes me wonder now, will tripping see any changes in how it works or will it still function as it did in Brawl? Personally I'd like it stay as it currently functions, minus the random tripping anyways.

 

[Shroob]

I EAT MY ****ING WORDS

I told you, bro. I told you about Sakurai.

 

[QJD1381]

He's back again... and about time too!

I'll keep hope alive that Dixie is playable, herself.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

I told you, bro. I told you about Sakurai.

IT KEEPS HAPPENIN'!

Spoiler

Also, I actually do think Diddy looks better on the 3DS version. I'm kinda starting to become more interested in the 3DS version than the Wii U one, honestly.

 

[mygamecube]

Gotta say, I'm not a fan of his stretchy limbs. It looks too weird. Maybe it'll play different in game. Pics really didn't do Diddy justice in Brawl for the Smash Dojo either.

Visually, he looks fine to me though

 

[Superyoshiom]

Haha! Diddy was revealed today. That made my Friday!

Anyways, Sakurao should ero pushy consider using the fir shaders Retro used with Tropical Freeze. Both kong's fir looks fine from a distance, but a bit washed out up close.

 

[DukeofShorts]

We now have 24 characters revealed.

There was 24 characters (25 if you include Sheik) revealed at the time of launch for Brawl.

I'm liking the size of this roster.
At this rate there is no question that there'll be 40+ characters.

 

[TJ-Works]

Wasn't expecting another character reveal so early. Guess it's cool. I was hoping for a DKC stage revealed though. We haven't had a new stage reveal in a while, so this would've been the best time. :L

Well, technically, we had the 3DS Punch-Out Ring revealed alongside Little Mac's announcement.

But the most recent "new" stage was probably the Palutena's Temple pic released near the end of January (IIRC). So it's been almost a month since we got an actual new stage reveal. I actually think one stage per month minimum is a good way to go (let's hope 3DS Punch-Out doesn't mean we'll have to wait until March for a new stage, if so).

Here is the Smasbros-Miiverse site for Diddy Kong

Im not sure if those are the aerial movesets or not, i dont remember. And about the banana peel... is not his special peel? when does he clap the hands like that?... any suggestion? thanks!

 

[Frostwraith]

Diddy Kong! Nice to see another character reveal. And so it's the third month in a row to have two character reveals. Nice.

I also noticed the Smash-themed Boxing Ring is still in... I think its theme will change depending on Little Mac's presence, just like how Alfonzo replaces Toon Link on the Spirit Train stage. Notice how, so far, all Boxing Ring pictures with Little Mac have it WVBA themed, while all Boxing Ring pictures without Little Mac have it Smash Bros. themed.

Diddy clapping his hands is one of his taunts. ^^ So, either he used the Banana peel and then used his Taunt, or that is just an item someone slipped on and he used his taunt. It's most likely Diddy's, but not confirmed.
And it looks like his Up Tilt uses a fist instead of palm. Neat.

This hadn't occurred to me at all. A very interesting notion, if true.

Of course, the broader question raised here is how other stages might change with the presence or absence of certain characters. Hopefully, more little touches like Spirit Tracks and the Punch-Out Ring(s) are found throughout the stage selection.

I already said this...

There is a small chance Diddy's pictures in the ring were taken before Little Mac's reveal? Maybe it was a slip. Guess we'll have to wait for more pics showing the ring.

 

[RODO]

Can't technically confirm banana in his moveset until it's shown being used or described by Sakurai in a potd, just like you can't say that phantom is part of Zelda's moveset with 100% certainty.

 

[Erimir]

Except for, you know, the difference that bananas were already part of Diddy's move set.

Which makes it not like the Phantom at all.

 

[RODO]

Well yeah, but that wasn't the point. It should go without saying though that it's not 100% confirmed though until it actually is confirmed. Too many instances of people jumping the gun already (remember the toon link on the spirit tracks stage?)

 

[OctiVick]

Is it just me or dose it look like Diddy dislocates his arms when he attacks now

Anyway Its nice to hear they are working on giving him more reach for his melee attacks

 

[MasterofMonster]

Monkey D. Luffy, you know. :D

And yeah, I love how he looks here. But people, remember that it's not actually confirmed there's no Dixie, nor confirmed that the Banana came from his move. I don't Think Dixie is with Diddy here, but nothing Points to her being there or not. ^^ Sakurai could simply save her for a later date.
Either way, I hope they replace Monkey Flip with something. I had never any use for it, and it felt kinda lacking.

 

[Lightosia]

Nice to see Diddy!
Se we are getting two characters a month since December, huh?

 

[Stenton]

May I ask what move is Samus doing in this screenshot?

 

[MasterofMonster]

May I ask what move is Samus doing in this screenshot?

Her Back-Air. I like how Samus has Green-ish effects for her moves.

 

[TaichiYaegashi]

Pretty sure that's her back air.

 

[PLATINUM7]

You would be excellent on wikis. No jumping the gun even when it seems 90% true.

 

[Stenton]

Aha, I'm a idiot that thought. "Did Samus get Fox's Side-Special."

 

[Deleted member]

Now along with his pretty unchanged look, I fear he'll keep his generic chimp voice from Brawl, like for Donkey who'll keep his generic gorilla voice too.

I would prefer they have their voices from the modern DK games, they give them more personality.

I can't wait to see a Returns/Tropical Freeze-themed stage too.
