I've compared the images and broken it down a bit for everybody to help distinguish the differences.
With the first image, we see 12 "links" (punny) to the hookshot's chain. I cannot tell if the tether is being denied by Yoshi, or if it simply hasn't gone its full length yet.
The second image show's roughly about 36 "links" to the hookshot. That's at least 3 times as many as the first screenshot, which shows the range is pretty large
Also, I'm not sure if you count only one direction when it comes to counting the links on a chain. If you count it both ways, it comes to be 24 "links" for the first screenshot, and 72 "links" for the second (simply double it ^.^).

It's nice to see some tether buffs for Link.

That's splitting hairs at this point. Since the picture clearly shows two characters grabbing old of the ledge, I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.

I'd like to point out in the first picture that Yoshi looks to have a pouch like a kangaroo.I've compared the images and broken it down a bit for everybody to help distinguish the differences.

I cannot tell if the tether is being denied by Yoshi, or if it simply hasn't gone its full length yet.To me it seems insanely long distance, maybe because I remember it being just out of reach oh so many times in Brawl :3. The first picture is too hard to determine if it's being straight denied, or if it's just a flashy screenshot of it coming out. As far as I'm aware the top picture is the first screenshot of the hookshot in air, which I first took it to be it's maximum range. Guess I was proven way wrong.![]()

Sometimes the clipping can be painful to see.

Yoshi better be able to tether this time around too!

To be fair, Link needed that buff more than Samus, considering how fast he tends to fall. Besides, we've seen how far the Longshot could travel in Ocarina of Time.

RAWR!
More than likely, the negative response isn't going to be all that problematic. Regardless, he's not required to do this. He's doing this for fun like he did with Brawl. Trying to assume he has to put out new information every so often is only putting their impatience at fault here.

This is looking more and more like project M...in a good way.

So did Link grab on and disconnect Samus' tether?

Sweet! This'll do great things for my Toon Link game!
I just hope the Rope Snake and the (hopefully) Grappling Hook have extended range as well.
While we're at it, give Yoshi and Mega Man tethers. That'll be fun.

This just in, Yoshi was sent to the hospital after trying to tether recover with his tongue.

Link and Samus needed this upgrade, now it makes tether recoveries even better now. :D
samus not too much, as her recovery, including her tether, were fairly solid in brawl, seriously her grapple beam could latch on the ledge from a pretty long distance in brawl.
link on the other hand....his clawshot was worthless as a recovery option.
If they'd just fix his up special now....

But his Up Special IS fixed. ^^ He goes much higher now. Bowser's Up Special is also much better.
What they do need to fix are Kratos' recovery. It sucks.

a small glimpse of it in the nintendo direct didn't look like it honestly went much higher than in brawl. So i'm still not so sure his up special was truly fixed.

Well, it does go higher. So, if 'fix' means 'get better', then at least it 'got fix'ed'.
So, good enough. And don't worry, Sakurai and his teams are very serious about balancing this time. If Link is still not a master at recovery, no need to worry, he will undoubtebly be very good at other things to even it out.

Lucas' tether is going to look ridiculous if he's in the game.

It's nice to see so many buffs for Link, period. Good to see that he and Samus actually have a decent shot of getting out of the "Ha Ha, Oh Wow" tier this time around. So, today was the start of Golden Week and we got the first genuinely new update in about two weeks; coincidence? I'm hoping today wasn't a fluke.

Did we decide what the 'strings' were coming off Samus?
I agree, Link needed it, and Samus does too. For two badasses, they're poorly represented as fighters in Smash Bros.

I don't know, Ol' Rope Snake looks at least twice as long as Duster there.
I love that snake.
They're ropes form the ruins in the background.

He's going to need a longer snake than what he has in Brawl.

Sakurai: "Oh, look at this BIG shadow on Pyrosphere! It's on a Rool! Now don't be Shulking, this game is turning out to be a gem. A Krystal, even! Can't wait for the game to release, it makes me quite Tingley! Oh, and btw, there's a Arceus in this game! And a Mew, Too! Oh, and once, I met a tuna named Palu. Ever seen Palu Tuna?"

Another post referencing the new edge mechanics? While we have a vague understanding of them, now I want even more to see a full match to get a better idea of how the trumping system has changed.
The pic was also great news for me with Samus and Link as my primary characters. Of course, I tend to forget to use the tether recover anyways, so there will be a bit of relearning involved!

Very interesting news all around today both in the PoTD and the E3 info.
Great PoTD. I love that we finally got something new and that it's info on changing mechanics. Link's recovery looks like it's being buffed a lot, which is great!
E3 info? o:

Has anyone thought about how this might possibly affect their grab game? That's some ridiculous ****! LOL! It'll probably be just the "regular length" when you try to grab on the ground, and while that's not very realistic I don't think there will be any other way to balance it out.
Well, as far as I know it isn't confirmed whether or not he'll maintain that meteor showed off in the Nov. 6th 2013 PotD. Sakurai said if it was deemed "too powerful" during play testing they would remove that as an attribute of his dair. Still, Link is looking real promising this time around, and it's about damn time too. I'm hopeful.

I always interpreted the Rope Snake to be really stretchy in Mother 3.

New info! =D I might not be able to make use of it though =/ I use Young Link and Samus in Melee and Link and ZSS in P:M so I've got some hopes that I'll enjoy using the Links and Samus' in this game but if I don't then this mechanic won't apply to me. Either way the drought is over! Inb4fillerpictomorrow

Just so that everyone gets the message, all information regarding the upcoming E3 2014 event belongs in the thread link that DraginHikari posted. Do NOT turn this thread into an E3 discussion.
