Surprised no one has said it yet, but...

"Praise the Sun!"

 

[Wyoming]

So much god dang Kid Icarus content... and yet not a single Fire Emblem or F-Zero item.

I can't speak for Fire Emblem but F-Zero really doesn't have anything that could be used as an item. I can maybe think of the energy being used as a healing item of some sort but we have enough of those.

As for the POTD, neat a new item! Items that require multiple parts are still pretty uncommon so it's a nice addition, and it distinguishes itself from the Dragoon by how it functions.

I don't mind seeing so many items from specific series like Mario, KI, LoZ, etc. Those franchises tend to have a wide variety of items that simply work for Smash. No biggie.

 

[Flaxr XIII]

I have no problem with Sakurai being biased towards the games he's made. I would too if I were him.

 

[domokl]

i find it odd that people are thinking he's biased for adding in items from a newly revived series just cause he made it

like if he added in 6 new legend of zelda items he would be praised as hero of time sakurai but now he's demon lord sakurai

OMG KIRBY IS IN THE GAME THAT'S BIASED WOW SAKURAI

its becomes bias when series that are bigger like fire emblem have no items while kid icarus a much smaller series is getting more recongtion.

Punch-Out!!! was also recently revived and all it has to show for it currently are a character and a stage.
Kid Icarus is over here with 6 items, 2 stages, and 2 characters, and 2 assist trophies.
Donkey Kong and Metroid are long standing series and KI is getting more representation than those 2.
Makes sense to me.

 

[Swift Fox]

Actually, I wonder.

@ Swift Fox do you use a program that notifies you or you just get the link ready on imgur?

Because once, the pic didn't loaded on my end until I refreshed again, but you already posted it.

I refresh this url http://www.smashbros.com/update/images/daily-jp.jpg instead of refreshing the entire site. I usually do this manually for 5 minutes ( -00:45 to -00:40) and if there's nothing new then I quit it.

Had to do "hard refresh" on it just so I don't get old pic stuck there (Ctrl+Shift+R on my Firefox) unlike the one on the main site. the main site will update pic with different url in the ending of its pic's url (to prevent browser from using the old cache for it).

I do manual uploading to Imgur as well. I had it prepared in another tab when I need it.

 

[Loungemen]

:/

I really hope this is the last Kid Icarus item.

No

we need all of THESE items now.

 

[YoshiSonic]

38 days 20 hours 40 minutes 3 seconds till the release and we're still getting items?

How about the assist trophy disconfirmations, veteran reveals, etc?

Items are great, but it's almost TIME, based Sakurai.

 

[Little_GotenSRK]

New item hype.

I soooo wanna play Kid Icarus Uprising though. Sakurai's taunting me.

 

[Superyoshiom]

No.
We'll probably get half, if not all of the game stomped through our throath in Smash Bros.

Oh my, someone's salty (read this in Hades voice for effect)

But KI is ridiculously over represented in this game, to the point where it is eclipsing series infinitely larger than it like Metroid and DONKEY KONG.

Except the amount of content Kid Icarus: Uprising is receiving is rather unrelenting, especially in comparison to other long-standing series such as Donkey Kong, Metroid, and Fire Emblem (a series which has yet to receive an item).

 

[Kenith]

I, for one, am going to use the daybreak as Fox and pretend to be Rocket Raccoon. Try and stop me.

Topical.

I wish Fox was voiced by Bradley Cooper.

 

[Radical Bones]

its becomes bias when series that are bigger like fire emblem have no items while kid icarus a much smaller series is getting more recongtion.

A main part of KI:U is items. A main part of FE is characters.

Hence, 4 FE reps to 2 KI:U reps. It's balanced.

 

[Krysco]

If I see one more gah damn Kid Icarus item in this game I'm gonna...still buy the game and have fun with it...**** you for making good games Sakurai.

 

[LaughingLuigi]

I guess we'll get Ganondorf (or Falcondorf) on 14th.

I hated the Dragoon Pieces in Brawl, so I don't know if I will enjoy this item.

 

[Mypantisgone]

It must be powerful since you gotta combine the parts. Look at it! Its huge! Image olimar, Kirby or even pikachu holding this big thing.

In Uprising, this was an auto kill move.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

No

we need all of THESE items now.

Inb4 Wrecking Ball joke.

As for the item itself, it's pretty neat.
It's just an Uprising item.

 

[JamietheAuraUser]

Fire Emblem needs Tiki's Tear as an item in Smash. Or a ballista. Ballistae would actually make pretty cool items in Smash I think...

The KI series only has three games. And every KI item in Smash is from only one of them.
The first two games have some stuff worthy for Smash items, like the Harp.

I know Uprising is Sakurai's baby, but can he add content from the KI games he didn't help make? Like of Myths and Monsters, (even though it wasn't released in Japan)?

Uprising is cool, but I don't want everything KI related to be from it.

[Loungemen]

I thought the main parts of KI:U were the witty puns and the cheesy dialogue.

Except the amount of content Kid Icarus: Uprising is receiving is rather unrelenting, especially in comparison to other long-standing series such as Donkey Kong, Metroid, and Fire Emblem (a series which has yet to receive an item).

Bear with me, I just started playing Awakening, and I have no idea what kinds of items there will be in the Fire Emblem universe.

But yea, those three could use a handful of items.

Oh come on, there is definite bias here. Kid Icarus has had 3 games and has content that would lead you to believe it was Nintendo's 4th biggest franchise. Not only that but it all came from 1 game. I don't think there's a single thing that was exclusive to the other 2 games. I could easily see how some would be upset when there are still veteran franchised that haven't even been revealed and underrepresented franchised (*cough* DK *cough*) and KI is still getting new content.

 

[Superyoshiom]

Don't forget 15+ Smash run enemies. I loved Uprising, but you have to draw a line somewhere. Kirby never got this bias before, so I dunno why this is happening now.

 

[erico9001]

Eh, Kid Icarus Uprising is the best game to come out of Nintendo since the Galaxy games so if quality dictates how much stuff it get's reped by, it's still underrepresented.

Well, I guess Xenoblade can expect a lot of items then..

There sure look to be a lot of items in smash 4... a lot of items I'll be turning off.

 

[domokl]

donkey kong and metroid then. both bigger series yet with way less reprenstation.

 

[Starcutter]

Well guys, I'm going to sleep until day breaks (get it?) So see you tomorrow maybe


Have fun discussing the new weapon.

 

[ShrekItRalph]

Don't forget 15+ Smash run enemies. I loved Uprising, but you have to draw a line somewhere. Kirby never got this bias before, so I dunno why this is happening now.

Brawl's Kirby bias was in Subspace mode, Kirby, Metaknight and Dedede are basically the main characters of it.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

Oh my, someone's salty (read this in Hades voice for effect)

But KI is ridiculously over represented in this game, to the point where it is eclipsing series infinitely larger than it like Metroid and DONKEY KONG.

I'll probably hear Hades' voice somewhere in Smash Bros.

 

[Flaxr XIII]

Eh I'm not really into the Dragoon type 3 part items. It would cause the Smash Ball to not appear and I'd rather use the Smash Ball than spend 5 minutes trying to keep all the pieces together in a 4 player match.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

No

we need all of THESE items now.

No.

I could understand somewhat if it was an item from the original Kid Icarus but more from Uprising? One single game? Get outta here.

We need more uprising items like we need being falcon punched all day long.

 

[Radical Bones]

donkey kong and metroid then. both bigger series yet with way less reprenstation.

But once again, there are heaps and heaps and heaps of weapons in KI:U. What's in Donkey Kong? Bananas, barrels, cannonballs...?

And Metroid? Most items are used in Samus' moveset.

I agree there are a lot of items from KI:U - almost too many - but the game is full of unique weapons, where other series' aren't. I'd rather have an item that functions well than for Sakurai to stretch to make one work.

 

[JabbatheHutt]

Another example of KI oversaturation.

You're rediculous

I'm getting real sick of this. It's not that big of a franchise!

Where is a wario series item. We didn't get one in brawl. Yoshi series weres your item?

Not favoriting his own stuff is bullocks.

Cut meta knight, and maybe you'll make up for this. Go ahead cut your baby

 

[ZeldaMaster]

Kid Icarus:
15 Smash Run Enemies
6 items
2 characters
2 stages
2 Assist Trophies
Possible Dark Pit Reveal

Donkey Kong:
2 characters

 

[ToothiestAura]

Nice to see a new item. It had been a while. I'll just get over the fact that it's another Uprising item.

We need more uprising items like we need being falcon punched all day long.

In all honesty, we probably need this.

 

[SmashShadow]

No

we need all of THESE items now.

Pencil confirmed.

 

[Banjodorf]

Kid Icarus:
15 Smash Run Enemies
6 items
2 characters
2 stages
2 Assist Trophies
Possible Dark Pit Reveal

Donkey Kong:
2 characters

Well there's...Jungle Japes on the 3DS...that counts...right?

No, it doesn't...

 

[IsmaR]

"Be vewy vewy quiet. I'm hunting Demons."

 

[Superyoshiom]

donkey kong and metroid then. both bigger series yet with way less reprenstation.

I just want to emphasize this. Donkey Kong, a gaming mascot, no a mascot of the entertainment industry, a household name, is being overshadowed by a franchise with three games. Just wanted to put things into perspective.

 

[Krysco]

We have at least 2 playable KI characters, probably a large amount of songs, who knows how many items (currently at 6) and AT's (I think only 1 atm, Magnus right?) and 1 stage on Wii U. And you know what the best part is? If I recall correctly, we don't have a KI stage for the 3DS. GUESS WHAT TOMORROWS PIC IS GUYS?!

xD I am acting why more salty than I actually am about this update. I'm going to bed.

 

[Mypantisgone]

I don't care how much stuff from Uprising we get, they're all great.

Inb4 Wrecking Ball joke.

I never meant to start a war.

 

[FinalStarmen]

A franchise in which only one of its games matters.
