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

[Hayzie]

Question for Swift Fox: y u no ever put caption?

Pic of the day. You can charge up Ike's Eruption attack by holding the button down, but remember to release it right before it fully charges to avoid recoil damage. Let go of the button at the moment the sword shines!

 

[Shroob]

Well, I did sort of figure that he wouldn't acknowledge a spin off, though, surprised he didn't be coy and talk about the blue shell.

 

[ZeldaMaster]

Welp, Roy's chances are again lowered.....

 

[---]

You base his design on Radiant Dawn and you couldn't even make his flames blue...you disappoint me Sakurai.

 

[Bauske]

Is it me or do all the characters look weirdly better all of a sudden? Mario looks great here, and King Dedede looked awesome a few days ago.

I thought the same, but I went back and looked at Dedede's pictures and the model looked generally the same. I think they're working on tweaking the animations and small things, like fingers and facial expressions, so it's making the characters look more lively, which is making them look better in general. The models still look the same, but they're more expressive now.

 

[Yonder]

Welp, Roy's chances are again lowered.....

To be fair, he didn't have any chances to begin with...

 

[BeatNinja]

Get wrecked plumber.

Wario unofficially officially deconfirmed.

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

Eruption is back. Roy deconfirmed.

This hurts my soul.

 

[Bravetriforcer]

You base his design on Radiant Dawn and you couldn't even make his flames blue...you disappoint me Sakurai.

Look at it this way. The fact they seem to have pretty much ported Ike over with maybe some animation tweaks and a new model bodes well for the rest of the Brawl vets getting the same treatment at least.

 

[Swift Fox]

Question for Swift Fox: y u no ever put caption?

Would you like me to put Japanese text along with PotD that no one will understand?!

 

[ppbto]

Meh... Eruption still exist and it still have normal fire.

 

[PurpleSpaceDragon]

Is it me or do all the characters look weirdly better all of a sudden? Mario looks great here, and King Dedede looked awesome a few days ago.

I think the Smash team saw Mario Kart 8 and all the praise its been getting for its graphics, and wants to try to 1-up the MK8 team.

 

[Sehnsucht]

Get wrecked plumber.

Wario unofficially officially deconfirmed.

Wario tomorrowario.

 

[Morbi]

Great.

NOW you give us an Ike picture.

At least someone is happy (me). I have been waiting the entire week for this.

 

[APC99]

Well, that has nothing to do with Mario Kart. Back to the depths of Hell for nye-nye time.

 

[ZeldaMaster]

So, Ike confirmed for being identical to his Brawl-Self?

 

[Stalking Fury]

Why were y'all thinking Wario?

 

[Shroob]

Curious as to what tomorrow will bring now. We've gotten a cosmetic update, an explanation on an item, a new gameplay mechanic, and now a move confirmation...

Hmm.

Stage info? I guess... Maybe an item from the press kit. Really hoping it's not just more "Hey, this is Smash Run! Look at this enemy!" stuff again.

 

[Sehnsucht]

Why were y'all thinking Wario?

We're always thinking of Wario.

 

[Morbi]

So, I want to expect Wario for tomorrow; and I do, but we still have not yet had the reconfirmation that Blue Shells were in the game.

 

[IsmaR]

So, Blue Shell then? And Maaaaaaaaaybe Wario Friday? Or do I have that backwards.

Close. Wario eating a Blue Shell.

Somehow I feel like that creates a reverse implosion.

 

[SmashShadow]

It was only just a dream...

 

[KingofPhantoms]

So....literally nothing about the move was changed from Brawl, except for some possible damage changes which weren't mentioned.

[Rebellious Treecko]

Well, that has nothing to do with Mario Kart. Back to the depths of Hell for nye-nye time.

The picture has Mario in it.

Mario is in Mario Kart.

Therefore it's related to Mario Kart.



And seriously, Ike really should've had the blue fire from the final chapter of RD.

----

 

[Morbi]

It was only just a dream...

Eh, we could always live the dream by playing Project M. Regular fire for Ike is good enough for me.

 

[Jellyfish4102]

What's going on with Mario's cheek?

 

[Omniomega]

Guys Guys, you gotta remember here that this is Sakurai we're talking about. We gotta think outside the box while somehow keeping our sanity intact.

Now with MK8 on the horizon Wario does seem like a plausible reveal...but that's too obvious. Now think with me a little, what kind of game is MK. That's right kiddies it's a racing game, now what new gimmick does MK8 bring to the table...that's right anti-gravity racing. Now if memory serves correctly doesn't Nintendo have another gravity defying racing game.....da daa da dun that's right EXCITEBIKE.

With all those crazy unrealistic mid air stunts those excitebikers pull off it's obvious this the reveal of an Excitebike character.

Say what now! You thought I was hinting at F-Zero's Captain Falcon...ha ha ha heavens no that would simply to obvious for sakurai standards. Though I do suppose if we go by that logic it would seem very likely, but knowing Sakurai I would say just throw all that logic outside the window and say BAM...Metaknight reveal.

 

[Sehnsucht]

"Pic of the Day! Ike's Final Smash has been replaced with Cosmetic Change, which renders his flames blue for a limited period. The Final Smash offers no actual fighting advantage. So enjoy the change while it lasts!"

 

[Shroob]

So, I want to expect Wario for tomorrow; and I do, but we still have not yet had the reconfirmation that Blue Shells were in the game.

It WOULD be nice a character a week until E3, but at this point, I'm going to assume nothing 'too big' tomorrow.

 

[Hayzie]

So, Ike confirmed for being identical to his Brawl-Self?

Tweaked and better perhaps. Ike was nearly perfect

 

[MasterofMonster]

Remember, people, the Epic Blue Fire may be saved for his Flashier Great Aether. :3

ExciteBiker would be during the Direct or something. Captain Falcon would make more sense for an obscure racer that has nothing to do with Mario Kart (Meta Knight is too obvious because of his initials).

My head... boosh.

 

[abrinx77]

There's that Ike filler people were looking for. Happy now?

 

[ZeldaMaster]

Guys, what if this hints at Ike being a character in MK8 for DLC? Lol

 

[Omniomega]

Yeah I know, I just wanted to poke some fun here since I haven't been on in years....mostly just lurking about >:3

 

[Shroob]

Surprise twist: Sakurai reveals Ice Climbers/Lucas/some other starter from a previous game that I'm forgetting at the moment tomorrow.

 

[Silvera]

There's that Ike filler people were looking for. Happy now?

Very satisfied.

 

[Hayzie]

What's going on with Mario's cheek?

Eruption is back. Roy deconfirmed.


What's up with Mario's cheek?

-----

It's the result of the shine flare bubble effect thing. Both his cheek and fingers on his left hand are partially outside of it.

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

Is Mario slipping in this pic? I assume the banana he slipped on is just not in the shot right?
