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

[TumblrFamous]

I am kinda hoping for Ice Climbers on Thursday, but I'm keeping my expectations low. I do predict something new to Charizard this week, however.

 

[praline]

Ness yes please!

 

[Arcadenik]

True.

Also, he only has to think of what to say, since his employees can easily post and write the words as he says them.

Related, I've noticed that some translations seem to not convey his exact meaning before. The first shot of Kotake and Koume has him, in the Japanese version, go; "Are they evil?" essentially, while the English version is translated to "They're definitely up to no good." That's pretty much two different meanings. Of course, both fit appropriately, but you get what I mean.

I think this answers the question in red.

...I could see it being a joke on OOT's halo thing. They're also using their attacks from OOT decently, although those were more or less repeated somewhat in the Oracle games, but not in the exact same way? As Twinrova, they froze floor or turned it into lava. Plus, it's an OOT stage and their attacks fit. Good stage hazard~ No pun intended.

 

[Shroob]

Sakurai would've made a comment to let us know when he'll take a break from screenshot posting. He hasn't taken a break since New Year's week.

Why would he make a comment a week in advance? There's still an entire week til Golden Week.

If he decided to.

Trust me, there are plenty of alternate costumes with something as rich of a history as Nintendo

An alternate costume needs to be distinct enough, as well. That would hurt SS Link, Ninten and Other M ZSS. Metal Sonic would possibly look too much like Sonic using a Metal Box item.

Conversely, some could be done as simple palette swaps or similar. That covers the Shiny Pokemon (wasn't Shiny Pokemon one of the palettes for Pokemon Trainer already in Brawl?). Ness could get an outfit based on Ninten just by changing the design on his t-shirt, etc.

And as I mentioned before, Sakurai is unlikely to add alternate character models for characters that aren't getting their own movesets. Basically, Sheik could get a palette to look like Impa, but I'd be really surprised to see Impa as an alternate character model for Sheik. I think alts have to be the same character (in the case of WFT and Villager, gender swaps are possible since the character is generic in the first place).

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Actually, Metal Sonic(the actual character) looks highly diverse from Sonic with a simple metal coating. The version used in Brawl for "Metal" Sonic is the same as Metal Mario's design. Metal Sonic meanwhile actually looks like a full robot, with special hands, razor sharp blades, a giant fan for its chest, shoulder plates, a pointy nose... Possible inspiration for Puppetmon, but yeah. They're quite different. The version we saw in Brawl was from Sonic Heroes' multiplayer design, which was a Metal Mario lookalike(or Metal Box style), which might as well just be a metal coating over the characters. Not an actual robotic counterpart. Metal Mario isn't even really a robot either, and never was. Sonic could have his original Metal Sonic version without a problem, and even when hit by a Metal Box, he'd just look like his Sonic Heroes Multiplayer costume.

 

[IsmaR]

I'd think everyone was aware just how different Metal Sonic is based on his Neo Metal Sonic forme alone. Regardless that discussion is more suited for Mafia other Character Alt threads, unless of course the off chance that another gets revealed ala Male Fit Trainer.

Actually I'd really like an in depth PotD about Wire Frame Mac.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Actually I'd really like an in depth PotD about Wire Frame Mac.

I'd love it if he showed off any more Alts in one post. Or admit more are planned.

Also, we can finally play as the Fighting Wire Frames. Kind of. >_>

About an hour till the next one, though.

To be on topic...

I doubt we're getting anything too interesting tonight.

Mondays have the least significant updates. They're slightly less likely to be total filler, but in the past no characters or even stages have been revealed on Monday. Items have been revealed (only one AT, the Metroid from before the Direct), but Sakurai kinda blew his item wad with the Direct... There are only a handful of old items that haven't been confirmed at this point, and a lot of new items have been shown, so I wonder how many more there can even be.

Unless the pattern is changing now in our post-Smash Direct world (that's also already given us a week and a half of filler after the Direct).

Personally, I don't know why Sakurai throws so much filler after Directs. Especially after this one revealed that we're relatively close to the 3DS launch...

(Actually, those big batches of screen shots could've been used to reveal more items and keep the info flowing...)

I'm aware that Metal Sonic doesn't just look like Sonic with a metallic texture like the Metal Box item creates.

That's why I said it might look too similar. Because when zoomed out, it's the color that will matter more.

Anyway, either way, I doubt we'd get that.

So with the 3DS version coming out first, how does everyone think that will affect the PotD's. Will there be an influx of 3DS pics near, at and after release? Will there eventually just be Wii U pictures after the release?

 

[juddy96]

Predictions.

Monday: A picture.
Tuesday: A picture.
Wednesday: A picture.
Thursday: A picture.
Friday: A close up of Sakurai.

Sakurai gonna Sakurai.

 

[ZombieBran]

Watch the 3DS release be late August.

 

[Yonder]

Hate to be the pessimist, but I predict mediocre/info we already knew pics for the next few weeks at least.

I think we've already been getting more 3DS pics than we used too, and that it will only increase before release. I don't mind 3DS pictures, because I can look at them on my 3DS where they actually look good. I just wish that PotD's had 3D features when you looked at them on the 3DS. It's a real shame...

All that being said, I still prefer Wii U screens.

3D PotD's would be excellent. I really want to see what Smash looks like in 3D.

I think the PoTD will continue just fine. Maybe there will be an emphasis on the exclusive Wii U Assist Trophies or something along those lines. Near the 3ds release date I'm expecting a lot of Smash Run related pics.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Swimsuit Sakurai.

Too steamy for Miiverse. He'd be banned instantly.

I predict a picture of Charizard tonight. Why? I don't know. I feel we haven't gotten much of him since he was revealed to be alone.

 

[juddy96]

Marth and Lucario currently have the longest drought going on, having not been seen in the POTD since Feb. 11.

 

[Admiral Pit]

I really wish Sakurai would give us some Bowser news. He has not talked about him since Developer Direct, talking about his improved speed, but what about some of his moves? Unfortunately I fear that now-a-days, it'll either be ZSS, Sheik, Yoshi, Charizard, and Greninja for a while.

 

[ppbto]

I predict a pic with Yoshi.

 

[ZombieBran]

(how do people even keep track of this?!)
If I recall, there was a really long period where Sakurai just gushed over Marth after his reveal, so it evens out.
He can't be blamed, honestly.

Moderator Edit: Do not use the daily pic link when posting the newest screenshot.

So... Items...
At least the Beam sword looks better.

Marth has been shown 9 times since his reveal on November 7th. 5 of those 9 times were in November.

 

[Yonder]

Stuff we already knew, called it.

We did watch the direct Sakurai

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Looks like the Beam Sword is radiating heat. I can't tell which weapon is hotter.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Fire Bar is still my favorite new item.

It'll be the hot new pick for a slashing weapon.

Daily Pic Notice:
(http://www.smashbros.com/update/images/daily.jpg). Because the image for that link changes with every update, you should not use the daily pic link when posting the newest screenshot. Instead, you should either get a permanent link, via, Miiverse, or create one with an image hosting site, such as imgur. The reasoning for this is because if any users miss any of the screenshots, they could get very confused on what the image poster is talking about if a permanent link is not used.

Just a reminder to edit out those posts with just the link to the Daily Pic of the Day. Which is, y'know, changed on a daily basis.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

Just noticed that the Beam Sword has the red-and-blue motif.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

Fire Bar is still my favorite new item.

It's one of my favorites, too.

Hands down the coolest looking Mario item ever.

 

[Sehnsucht]

Damn, ninjad by a Swift Fox

I own a pair of tweezers that are similarly intimidating.

 

[chronomantic]

Considering E3 is relatively near I wouldn't be surprised if PotD is a fillerfest through the rest of April and at least a big chunk of May. At that point Sakurai will pity our thirsty souls and then finally throw a bone at us.

...love the Fire Bar by the way. It looks like a Fan-level annoying item.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

The Beam sword is mostly red at the top.

But also a bit blue at the bottom.

Link confirmed for half Jedi half Sith.

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

I hope the firebar has the same hit detection it did in Super Mario Brothers so we can sometimes just pass through the middle of it without being hit. It would keep things exciting.

Seriously though, I'm guessing the caption is going to explain the differences between these items since so far they seem really similar with the beam sword just being a better version (since it doesn't shorten per use). While I am not inclined to play with items, I'm kinda curious about that point and have been wondering since the direct.

 

[Yonder]

But some of the positive aspects of this pic, the fire bar is a great addition (still would of thought the P balloon would of been funny, but too hard to incorporate/really irrelevant now). Also, the beam sword, along with all the original smash items in this game, look better than the original. Every single one of them.

Honestly, this game does look so well polished, like a mix of all the best stuff from each game. For a game that has only made (in my eyes) one noticeable blunder so far, I'm looking optimistically at it.
