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

[Sonsa]

I can't help but imagine the week ending with Greninja standing in the new Elite 4 stage and we get some comment like "Were you surprised to see Greninja emerge from the shadows?"

 

[Forcerounds]

I want a Greninja or Charizard pic.

 

[Duster72]

He said he was upset about subspace being leaked because the movies were supposed to be a prize for playing through subspace and having them up on youtube ruined that(because people who didn't play subspace or even have the game could get the same viewing experience as those who did just by looking it up online). Characters are a very different situation. Even if you know the whole roster list, you still can't PLAY as those characters until you unlock them. So the player is still getting a reward for playing the game.

I completely understand what Sakurai said, but I disagree with the notion that characters are any different. The character unlocks are seen as a sort of reward system, yes, but maybe trophies will take that place in the new game? Or something we don't know about yet? I don't know. I just find it strange that he's revealed so many previously-unlockable characters, yet says nothing to suggest they're unlockable at all. It seems like a bad move from a Smash fan's standpoint, yet it fundamentally changes very little, and the improved online gives fans a lot of incentive to play in the first place.

Well, if he indeed is revealed as a newcomer, he will obviously be accompanied by a trailer, so...

Apologies; I worded that poorly. If Ridley is a newcomer, there's no way he'll be revealed during a simple pic of the day. He'd have his own trailer, likely presented via Nintendo Direct or something of the sort. If Ridley is just a boss character on the Pyrosphere stage and nothing more, then when will he be revealed as such? That's my question.

 

[Radical Bones]

I want a Greninja move explanation or Charizard being solo info/ moveset update.

But I'll be happy to see anything, new stage info or some item explanation.

That being said, if Sakurai cbfed doing anything major, that's fine. Poor guy, that Direct plus work would've taken it out of him for sure.

 

[Zhadgon]

My prediction of the pic of the day:

- Charizard, Greninja, Lucario and Pikachu are fighting in Prism Tower -

Caption of Sakurai:

"It seems the Pokemon are having a big party but someone is missing"

.n_n.

 

[Staarih]

A better look at the Pokemon League/Elite 4 stage would be pretty neat actually.

 

[IsmaR]

It's a pretty interesting pic of Smash Run.

Mentions powers from Kid Icarus as a power up.

 

[mygamecube]

Also, what stage is this?

 

[NintendoKnight]

"Pic of the day. Your character starts a Smash Run as a relatively ordinary fighter. But before the game, you can outfit yourself with certain items that can help power you up early, which will give you a big advantage later on!! These items are much like the Powers you'd find in Kid Icarus: Uprising."

Smash Run info.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Also, what stage is this?

It's from Smash Run

Bottom right corner

 

[Shroob]

I really hope with regards to Smash Run that Sakurai doesn't put in a checkboard like he did in Air Ride. Some of those conditions were just unreasonable. And good lord we got THREE in Uprising.

 

[mygamecube]

It's from Smash Run

Bottom right corner

Ah thank you!

 

[Bauske]

I'm predicting.... an item discussed tonight in the PotD.

Edit: Nevermind! Appears I'm late and we're getting Smash Run info? Cool legumes!

 

[Sonsa]

Also, what stage is this?

Isn't that part of Smash Run?
EDIT: Ah, sorry, I was a tad late

 

[mygamecube]

Speaking of Smash Run lol

I definitely don't expect any of the characters we've already seen to be unlockable(except maybe the third parties if he pulls a brawl again, though I never understood why they were locked there), but I wouldn't put any stock in the fact that some of them were previously unlockable. Characters shuffle randomly between being unlockable and not unlockable randomly between games. Ness for instance went from being unlockable to being a starting character and then back to being unlockable. Also we don't have all that many characters revealed yet who have never been starting characters before, just Toon Link, Lucario, Marth, and Luigi(and Sonic if he isn't unlockable this time). Also he mentioned when Luigi was revealed that Luigi is usually unlockable, but he was making an exception this time because of the year of Luigi.

 

[Duster72]

Smash Run info.

JUST LIKE I SAID. RIDLEY CONFIRMED 2K14.

I really wanted to get something right out of the left field for once…

I'm predicting.... an item discussed tonight in the PotD.

You predict wrong, apparently.

 

[mygamecube]

Guess I'll be waking up tomorrow morning to see the caption. I'm tired. Night folks.

 

[PLATINUM7]

I keep being told Miiverse is not available

Flame Chomps from Mario are also confirmed, not too shabby I guess.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Sakurai said this in the comments:
For those who are wondering what Smash Run is, check out the Super Smash Bros. Direct. You can find the link on the post two days before this one.

Generic info. Bleh. Time to sleep.

EDIT: Ninja'd x2 combo but I'm too sad to care. Adiós.

 

[Kamikazek]

We had one in brawl too, though it was presented a little differently visually.

 

[mygamecube]

That boy Sakurai basically repeated himself from the Direct. Super filler pics for the next few weeks confirmed.

Ok, NOW good night, lol.

 

[Bauske]

We had one in brawl too, though it was presented a little differently visually.

I really liked that challenge board. I hope it returns!

 

[FalKoopa]

So more Smash run info. Not bad, but not too interesting either.

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

Looks like these pictures are going to be even worse for people who've played Kirby Air Ride. The mode sounds identical to City Trial. Which is actually a great thing.

 

[Admiral Pit]

I love the caption, got Smash Run info, a mention of those abilities similiar to Kid Icarus Uprising's Powers, and Pit's in the pic. I approve. <3

Honestly, I think those will be one of the things that will involve the touch screen. Again, I approve.

 

[MasterLuigi]

These last few pics of the day are kind of boring. We have already seen these things in the direct so it's nothing new.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Sakurai said he based it off city trial.

 

[NintendoKnight]

It's only not interesting because we already know about it. Also, not everyone watched the direct, hence his second post.

 

[Grinch21X]

GOD Smash Run is so cool. Its like Metroidvania and Kirby Air Ride mashed into Smash Bros. sdikijjovimkednv BELIEVE THE HYPE

 

[Brother AJ]

I'm having a hard time caring about anything 3DS related, although I wish I felt otherwise. It simply isn't feasible for me to buy both a 3DS and Wii U by the time these games come out, so if I have to choose... It sucks because there always exists the potential that I'll get a PoD that's completely irrelevant to me. I'm sure that a lot of us are in the same boat. I blame the government.

 

[Radical Bones]

I really liked that challenge board. I hope it returns!

Me too. You can never have too many things to do in Smash!

(thank god for those Golden Hammers though)

The 3DS version comes out much earlier (Summer) than the Wii U version (Winter) supposedly. Short of absolute refusal to play a specific version, there shouldn't be much reason to not at least try or consider both.

Knowing Nintendo, there'll probably be a combined Smash Bundle somewhere down the line.

 

[Starbound]

I really hope with regards to Smash Run that Sakurai doesn't put in a checkboard like he did in Air Ride. Some of those conditions were just unreasonable. And good lord we got THREE in Uprising.

Brawl had a checkboard too, and it was huge.

So we'll probably have like 5 in these games because apparently Sakurai likes them a lot.

 

[ndayday]

God I hope so. getting the boss battles on intense check made 15 year old me very happy.

but yeah seeing Smash Run etc. just makes me glad he pulls from his past games. City Trial was one of the most fun things ever, checkerboards are awesome and Sakurai is basically the best.

 

[spader13]

Well, this pic confirms Sakurai is going to slowly roll out the Direct info on the website. Hopefully when he gets to things like character customization, he'll be a little less cryptic this time (though I could see him waiting until E3 to finally unveil how this works). Seeing Greninja's moveset and Charizard's revised moves will make for good upcoming pics though.

 

[abrinx77]

This is good info. I really LOVE the idea of Smash Run. City Trial's power-up system applied to Smash, and it gives the normally neglected characters like Goomba's and Kritters some screen time. The more representative the game is of the Nintendo universe, the better. Also, I love the check boards, trying to complete that crazy one in Brawl was awesome.

 

[Jaedrik]

AS DO I.
