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

[Hayzie]

So I looked at the PotD again; something occurred to me. It may be totally possible knowing Sakurai, but it's hard to tell.

Each character always had animations for being at the edge of a platform trying to keep balance. Seeing as Mario is at the edge here, perhaps it's one of those attention-to-detail things where there's an animation for a "falling back" edge balance if you're facing the opposite way. Yay? Nay?

Eh, that would look...weird.

Am I the only one who wants to see Ike using quickdraw or jab on Rainbow Road (Because Mario Kart) tomorrow as PoD and have Wario wait until E3 so he can fart on everyone at the end of the trailer again?

 

[Hayzie]

Samus basically horizontal doesn't look weird? It's all comical.

 

[Fatmanonice]

I guess we shouldn't be surprised that nothing was shown for Mario Kart 8 given how Mario Party, Mario Golf, Mario Sewing Circle, Mario Loan Office, etc were skipped over too. Besides, Sakurai hasn't made note of a major release since Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze back in February. Now we just have to see what tomorrow brings...

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Ok about chroms normal special no differenc from brawl ok

I see no cigar on wario but he still has a chance for tomorrow as well, if not wario is saved for E3

...I think you need to shut down, restart and run a virus scan or something cause your databanks are clearly all kinds of messed up there, S.O.B.

 

[spader13]

I'm not surprised Wario wasn't shown today, but since he wasn't, he's most likely an E3 reveal at this point.

As for the picture, I wasn't even worried about a possible tripping element until I came here, but I'm going to assume the "trip" isn't anything of note. Eruption seems pretty much the same, but hopefully Ike has other moveset tweaks.

 

[Spazzy_D]

Well there goes any lingering doubts in my mind pertaining to Roy.

 

[ChunkyBeef]

I'd imagine today we'll probably see something somewhat substantial. Seems lately Sakurai's been liking to leave us off on a strong note on weekends so we have something to talk about. So.. doubt it's going to be another veteran or newcomer, but definitely something that'll have us talking.

Well there goes any lingering doubts in my mind pertaining to Roy.

Don't get so down on yourself. There's always DLC.

i think the difference with kart is it like Nintendo biggest game of the year.

 

[Pazzo.]

Wii U pic, Ike as the focus. I'll see you all tomorrow, g'night.

Ike is looking mighty fine today.

I'm laughing at everyone freaking out about tripping too.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

R.I.P. Roy

2001 - 2014

 

[Luigi#1]

If we get Chrom we won't get Roy, because no way will FE get 4 reps yet.

 

[MasterofMonster]

Someone on SmashGaf made this one. Is this what you dudes wanted it to look like? ^^

The way it should've been.
I mean for god sake Sakurai you simply just can't recolour it?

Well, when Ike used Blue Flames in his game, it was something special about it, right? *has not played it*

So I expect his Final Smash to be like in Brawl's. But Blue. Would that make you dudes happy?

 

[FalKoopa]

Yep, that's what we want(ed).

I predict this will the first change to Ike once hacks come out.

It's something that could've been a nice aesthetic change that would've pleased fans, since his title is Hero of the Blue Flames.
Seeing missed opportunities like this is just glaring. =/

Last week we had two PoTD that dealt small but interesting changes, those being mirrored characters and color outlines for teams. This week we also got two similar PoTD, those being the revival platforms and the steam at high percentages. Last week we also had one item PoTD about Assist Trophies and this week we also had one item PoTD about the Rocket Belt. Finally today we got a PoTD showcasing one of Ike's moves. Last week we had a sort of filler PoTD instead with Little Mac and Olimar (since we had no reveal the week before that). I think I see a pattern, guys! The last PoTD last week was the Ike reveal so *crosses fingers* if it all adds up, then that means the last PoTD tomorrow should also be another veteran reveal! This is of course assuming Sakurai is capable of patterns and can put away his randomness for a week or two haha!

 

[Reila]

Getting two veterans announcements via miiverse daily pics in the next two weeks would be sweet. It would make waiting for the Nintendo Direct way more tolerable. xD Personally, I would hope for Wario and Ganondorf to be announced already.

Getting Ike alone was awesome. Wario would be a miracle. But 3 before E3 would be wild.

 

[ChunkyBeef]

Roy is literally a reskin of Marth with different sweetspots. If anyone's going to wind up in first round DLC, I guarantee you it'll be Roy simply for ease of addition. I wouldn't give up on Roy just yet, but yeah, don't hold your breath for him to be in the roster at launch.

On the same note, Pokemon X and Y were arguably Nintendo's biggest games last year but there was nothing major announced then either.

 

[ToothiestAura]

No, I want a blue fire sword beam like from his games.

thats a good point i forgot about.

 

[Fatmanonice]

As other people have said, this week has played out almost exactly like last week so I wouldn't be surprised if we got a big announcement of some kind tonight, especially since we've had only two Fridays this entire year that haven't had new info. Whether it's a character or not, I'm definitely staying up to see what it is.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

It's also possible Greninja wasn't even close to ready to show off period. So them showing a small image with Xerneas and Pikachu might've been their best move. It was still an X/Y post, at least.

 

[Shroob]

Well, to be fair, Gamefreak was totally bonkers about anything spoiler related for X and Y. Greninja hadn't been shown yet. Officially at least.

 

[Hayzie]

When Ike's sword reaches climax, it will be causing the most powerful Eruption. See you TONIGHT.

 

[Shroob]

Anyway, tonight. I'm not going to call anything. This week has been very low key all things considered, but it very may as well just be winding down until E3, and coming off post-reveal hype. We'll see soon enough, anyway. If Sakurai throws a curveball tonight, I don't think anyone will complain.

 

[Kevandre]

Tomario Kart.

It'll be something. Maybe not Wario though.

 

[Baskerville]

Mario Kart stage for Wii U

 

[BluePikmin11]

There was no reasonable logic to expect Wario today just because he was playable in Mario Kart 8.
Predicting tomorrow's pic, it's hard to guess. I doubt it will be a character reveal.

 

[Waker of the Winds]

This.

and uhh, I wish Ike had his sword beams from Path of Radiance instead of eruption..

 

[Kamikazek]

They should just give us an extensive color edit mode like King of Fighters so everyone can have whatever color flame they want and I can make mine Green because screw everything. And just think of all the fun of color editing MR. Game and watch!

In all seriousness though, the Red fFame makes sense to me. What I've constantly heard from lots of different people(though I've never seen a source given so I don't know for sure if it's speculation or something Sakurai actually said, but either way it's a fair assumption) is that Eruption isn't meant to be a reference to the end of RD where Ike strikes down the goddess, but rather a homage to Roy, and the reason it was red all along with is presumably because Roy has red flames (I mean it's not like RD wasn't already out when Brawl was made anyway). In fact according to what people say(again, I've never seen the source) Ike wasn't originally planed to have eruption at all, he was going to have Ragnel's projectile attack but Sakurai changed it last minute because A. balance and B. It became apparent Roy wasn't going to make it. Assuming Roy again didn't make the cut, changing that attack in any way could be seen as spitting on Roy's grave, and Sakurai has already mentioned he feels bad about hurting the fans of cut characters.

Also, why is Ike called the Hero of Blue Flames? He uses them once ever at the very end of his story and barely anyone was around to see it and the visual representation of which wasn't particularly significant anyway. I didn't even understand why he had blue flames in project M until I replayed RD and I was like "oh yeah, that happened. I forgot about that". He could be like the Mercenary General or the Hero from Gallia or the Hero of the Golden Sword/Wind Sword/Ragnel/Aethier Yune's Hero The Unifying Hero ect. ect. just the Hero of Blue Flames really? I guess it sounds cool?

 

[Sonsa]

Sorry, my adapter or something messed up yesterday so I couldn't reply, but now I'll say what I wanted to!
Aw no Wario. Friday then, ya wanna save characters for Friday so they can suspend the hype through the weekend and it's a great finisher for the week.
This week is eerily similar to last week's ain't it? Two game mechanic details and two filler! Yeah, I see Wario's warning nice and snug under Ike's. I just don't know who would be revealed the last week before E3! Lucas maybe?
And by golly that new video detailing the invitational was awesome! But who's aMSa ganna play!? Yoshi isn't available!
And a mode where you can color characters yourself would be nice. And maybe if you could give em little accessories you unlock by completing modes and challenges... yknow... that'd be nice too :3

 

[Deleted member]

Lucas maybe?

Please. Reveal Lucas before or during E3, and all of the characters thought to be expendable will be confirmed except for Wolf, but if 4 out of 5 are confirmed, I think it would finally be the death of the "Ike, Lucas, Wolf, Toon Link, and Lucario are expendable" belief.

And Toon Link. Don't forget Toon Link.

 

[Reila]

Ganondorf pls. I want him to be revealed before the E3, if possible.
