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

There goes Dillon. I didn't expect him, but I thought he would be a cool character.

 

[RhymesWithEmpty]

I've never played Dillon's games, but I always imagined that if Dillon were playable, he'd be like a heavier, semi-clone of Sonic. Like, Dillon is to Sonic what Wolf is to Fox, except probably faster than Wolf? Am I at least a little close, here, or am I way off? Because I think a heavier Sonic could be interesting.

Another plus to this PotD - modders will have a model to work with now, and an obvious character to swap him out with, so at least there's that!

Edit: Haha, just read Radical Beam's post above which pretty much answered my question, but I still think a heavy Sonic would be cool, and perhaps it could work if they really Wolf'd him up, so to speak :B

 

[IsmaR]

That's completely fair, and true. I wanted him to be buffed in SSB4, but it doesn't look like he has. Three of his special moves involve him rolling into a ball. So annoying.

Still. It's Sonic!

Sonic or not, The Fighters wasn't exactly my cup of tea. Give me Battle (or hell, Shadow's and/or Werehog's melee moves) or give me death. But that's neither here nor there.

At the very least Sakurai acknowledges eShop games (more than just for simple/non-complex items, at least). My pipe dreams of Shantae or Patty don't look as glum anymore. I also expect some references to Push/Crashmo.

Anyone want to theorize Dillon originally being planned for a character but moved to AT?

Maybe even BECAUSE of Sonic

I don't like playing the card, but looking at the model alone, he seems like he'd be a top priority contender for DLC.

I'm also somewhat pessimistic that Sakurai will disconfirm characters now with "similar" characters in the same pic.

Ridleyzard, Didxie Kong, King K. Bowser...Mewninja (lol).

 

[Silvera]

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Sonic fan. I think he's awesome and uber cool.

But Dillon is a Cowboy Armadillo who has razor claws and guns and sets up turrets to kill giant rock monsters, which he can also tear apart with his bare hands, all of which he does to protect townsfolk.

I understand. What I meant to say is that (in your previous comment) in their own way, neither is the wiser imo. They're both awesome.

But you probably know that.

 

[Zhadgon]

Meh, I would prefer a playable Dillon over WFT or Greninja, still cool to see him in the game.

.n_n.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

No one? Really? Fine, I'll be the one to say it.

I would have preferred Dillon to Sonic as a playable character.

This is easily the most hilarious thing I've heard all day.

All 4 hours of it.

Seriously though, I have absolutely no idea who or what this thing is aside from an armadillo, apparently, and don't really care. Looks cool, though. Glad to see another Assist Trophy confirmed.

I'd say that was a satisfactory way to end off the week with something highly positive. <3

Nah, I feel like they must have known Sonic was going to be in from the beginning this time around, so I really don't think he would've caused any delays or character bumps. It's not completely impossible that they had wanted to make Dillon playable and just ran out of time, but I wouldn't pin that on Sonic more than I would any other character. Really, I just don't think he was a big enough name to make it in this time around. He does have a great looking model, though!

 

[Sonicthesneak]

Sonic seemed like an amazing addition to the series.

Then I played as him.

I totally get this. But that's not Sonic's fault. Sakurai forgot about Sonic Battle when he made Sonic's moveset. Or Sonic Adventure 2 with Sonic Wind...

Actually, the issue was Sonic is that his moveset is too much of a throwback to Classic Sonic. And for some reason, they didn't want to update him for Smash 4. Sonic's cooler moves came as he branched out more.

I'm sure that Sonic & Dillon could have co-existed if Sakurai really wanted to. But I guess he just didn't. Same with Lucario & Mewtwo. But we'll have to see if Sakurai feels like that one too.

 

[Deleted member]

Sega was in charge of Sonic's moves, not Sakurai.

Go figure.

He doesn't even really feel like Classic Sonic. Seeing what he did with Megaman, and what he's done with Sonic would have to make Team Sonic mad. It made me mad... Megaman is such a well thought out character and Sonic is so bland.

And yeah, just because they both roll doesn't mean anything. Jigglypuff rolls. So does Yoshi.

EDIT: Wow, @GoldenYuiitusin, is that true? I really didn't know that. Sorry Sakurai, I've been blaming you all this time. It was Sonic's own team that did this to him!

 

[Deleted member]

@ Radical Bones
Yes. Or at the very least, it wasn't Sakurai's fault. He stated he had no involvement with Sonic or Link in terms of their implementation.
I guess I'm just assuming Sega was involved. When in reality, all we know is that Sakurai didn't do it.

Not sure who to blame for Link, though...

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

No one? Really? Fine, I'll be the one to say it.

I would have preferred Dillon to Sonic as a playable character.

Dillion would have certinaly had a more interesting movesset then "ballcurl/ballcurl/hammerspace spring" Sonic. I'm glad he's in the game, but damn the "Genesis feel" moveset is boring. Sonic Wave and Light Speed Dash would have been perfect. I mean, as someone who still consider Classic Sonic the Sonic I appreciate the gesture, but there's no point in avoiding awesome moves for the sake of it.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

Go figure.

You got an actual source for that? Or are you just talking out of your ass?

 

[Deleted member]

I wouldn't have given him a projectile.

TBH, other than tweaks to his normal attacks, I would have just replaced the Side Special with a Boost since that's become prevalent as of late.

...and give the old Side Special to Shadow.

 

[Baskerville]

I'm so tempted to quote your avatar, Golden.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Dillion being an assist trophy is kind of a blow to me. Thought he'd make a great newcomer. Perhaps Smash 5 if he gets a new game between now and then.

 

[Deleted member]

You got an actual source for that? Or are you just talking out of your ***?

http://allisbrawl.com/blogpost.aspx?id=114587

Apparently Sakurai had no direct involvement with either Sonic's or Link's implementation in Brawl.

Considering the original Japanese source is long gone, can't really verify if the translation is 100% accurate. Though I earlier retracted the Sega part since it was only assumption.

So no, I'm not talking out my ass, and you can kiss it now.

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

I was actually worried about a different character getting deconfirmed today. I'm sorry for Dillion's supporters' lost.

I also remember when Saria had a trophy reveal people said they ripped models from the games like in brawl. We've had quite a bit of trophies since then. Can we say for certain if they are still doing that now? Maybe making originals? Both?

Moody, much? It's a simple expression. Very common on the web. Lighten up, ya pansy.

Anyway, I've seen this before, but I personally don't think that's enough. It's probably true, but until there's something to go into much more detail about it, I just plain don't believe it. I don't see such a "mistake" happening twice like that. - -

Then again, Sonic's attributes do seem a bit better from some recent footage, so I'm looking forward to trying him again.

But this is off-topic. Back to Dillon or whatever it is in today's pic.

 

[Deleted member]

I know. And "kiss my ass" is another common expression.
I thought I was being funny.


....should've used this vid....

It fits perfectly cuz I'm GoldenYuiitusin and all....heh. Heh.

.....
LAUGH.

 

[Shroob]

So..... I'm saying we'll get at least one character this month.

 

[Deleted member]

Perhaps the 29th for Pink Gold Peach Wario or something.

 

[Vintage Creep]

So..... I'm saying we'll get at least one character this month.

LOL.

We never learn.

Ah, so it was ME that was the misunderstanding pansy. It must be... ¦(

Welp, I can admit when I'm wrong. Sorry dude.

So..... I'm saying we'll get at least one character this month.

A trailer comes up seeming to show off something that looks like Mewtwo.

It's unveiled to actually be Giegue instead, playing like a revamped Mewtwo that doesn't die every 2 seconds.

I'm actually kinda curious as to how people would respond to that. XD

 

[Shroob]

LOL.

We never learn.

Hey, at least I didn't say 2.

 

[Swift Fox]

Perhaps the 29th for Pink Gold Peach Wario or something.

And what character should we see before May 24, the day before the longest drought record will be broken?

 

[Vintage Creep]

Hey, at least I didn't say 2.

I don't care about it honestly. This month can't be disappointing for me.
This monday starts 24: Live Another Day.
In two weeks we'll have Godzilla, and in three/four tops I'll have Mario Kart 8.
Also, I ordered Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Project Zero 2 for Wii on Amazon and they'll arrive shortly.
Plenty of things. Sm4sh is secondary this month.

June though... That's another story.

 

[Deleted member]

@ Kaye Cruiser
'Tis no problem. I know how I can get, so it may have been hard to tell it was meant in (admittedly snide) jest.

@ Swift Fox
Whatever the RNG Sakurai provides us.

 

[MasterofMonster]

@GoldenYuiitusin

Bender 1: "Bite my Glorous Golden A**!"
Farnsworth A: "Yo-"

Gotta love Futurama. It deserves a new season, and playable Zoidberg in Smash.
Anyways, Dillon. I must say, his model looks very pretty.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I have to say more so than any other currently revealed assist trophy, Dillon looks like he could be a playable character very easily.

He just has that look about him.

 

[Silvera]

I have to say more so than any other currently revealed assist trophy, Dillon looks like he could be a playable character very easily.

He just has that look about him.

So did Skull Kid, Ashley, Dark Samus, etc.

 

[FalKoopa]

If you're talking about how good he looks, Nintendog looks better.

But yeah, there difference in the polygon counts of playable characters and assist trophies seems to be much less than Brawl.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

So did Skull Kid, Ashley, Dark Samus, etc.

Hmm I guess.

Dillon looks like he'd fit into a fight that little bit more though. He looks completely ready.

 

[ProfTrumanchez]

This ROCKS. I hope we don't have to GRIND to unlock him. This really gets the ball ROLLING for May PotD's.
... Um.
ARMADILLOS.
But seriously can I get a whoop whoop?

 

[fromia]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

So close to being a playable character!! Glad to see Dillon in the game though.

Now we need Mallo.

 

[KiraYoshikage]

So the AT slaughter has not yet ended....I can only hope Issac survives.

But yeah. Dillon looks great! And im really glad that now that may has started we've begun to get some good pics of the day

 

[D-idara]

So did Skull Kid, Ashley, Dark Samus, etc.

Nome of those are protagonists, and only Dark Samus feels relevant out of those, Skull Kid has always been a dumb suggestion.

It's sad to see one of mah' wanted Newcomers not making the cut, I just hope Dillon's the only one I have to check from my list

On another note, for an AT, he looks ridiculously smooth and high-poly.

 

[aldelaro5]

Once again, Sakurai is repping new series. I know it's indirect but I have to say; if he goes for more rep of other series, maybe paper mario would get more rep I hope so.

 

[Staarih]

Watch us have a new AT slaughter from now on via PotD's...

Anyway, I can't get over how good Dillon looks, he's definitely a top contender for whatever the next Smash game will be, especially if he gets more games.

 

[Superyoshiom]

My condolences to Dillion fans, but you gotta admit, that model is very well made.
