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

What comment system?

Also, I think Sakurai may be in a different country. he's been posting it closer to midnight here of the US East Coast.

I may grasp at straws, but this may implies something.

Does the JST time zone had a shift of 1 hour? If not, what country he would be considering the difference?

Remember that there's Gamescom...

Or direct (please...)

 

[MasterofMonster]

This Flag may seem OP (and in a way, it is), but we have seen in videos that it does take a pretty long time to use it, at least. ^^

Such early Pics. Doesn't matter to me, as I tend to Wake up right Before the pic anyways. But still nice.

 

[Acadian Flycatcher]

Alright... So we have the hammer, Smash Ball, Pokeballs, assist trophies, dragoon, hearts, the daybreak and now the special flag... To top off this friendship breaking cake we have the biggest criminal of them all, the blue shell.

Smash 4 is confirmed to be ruining quite a few friendships this holiday season.

So this leaves just one item from the huge E3 image dump we still have no clue on. This mysterious doodad here:

Any ideas? I'm thinking it might be for collectibles, like trophies, music, and customizable moveset bits.

Ohhhh yeahhh, that! Good memory. Yeah, I think you're exactly right. Probably won't have stickers either since I really think these games aren't going to have stickers. We would have seen em by now and they were used for Subspace anyway. I dunno, they always bothered me cause I wanted to fight but I just couldnt resist picking em up cause what if its one I dont have yet? So, kinda glad stickers are gone, they can use the time they wouldve used on stickers and make more trophies with cool descriptions!

I wonder when we'll see this... Probably the smash direct, I imagine we get another montage of items like April's that ends with the daybreak then fades to black and fades to the chest and Sakurai will say something like "There's one item we haven't touched upon yet" and then he'll have Toon Link open it and explain further, maybe I overthink these things XD

In the E3 tree house smash run videos rare items were in the chests. Special moves and player upgrades.

I'm assuming it would act like that outside of Smash Run, being a very rare item. Sort of like the CD.

Or it could be a capsule like container containing a more rare item.

 

[MAtgSy]

Man, imagine a stock match with items on high & only the S-Flag is on.

 

[DukeofShorts]

S-Flag seems like an item that would only appear once per match like the Dragoon was in Brawl.

 

[JabbatheHutt]

I dont forsee a new pic. i think monday was just a start of it being posted at 12am EST. Good change. Sakurai realizes other timezones exist besides Japan's aha

 

[Dr. James Rustles]

A single stock match, even.

 

[FallofBrawl]

Expected a Metaknight reveal
Was not disappointed

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

It bothers me that Namco so far has 2 items, but as far as we know, there are no Sonic or Megaman items. Still, looks like a decent item. Sure to cause chaos in team battles.

what items would they have.

A battery is void with the presence of that gary bottle

For Sonic, probably the elemental shields from Sonic 3 & Knuckles, or maybe a Wisp. For Megaman, Eddie or an E Tank.

 

[FalKoopa]

Hm, this item doesn't seem really practical , as I really doubt you'll be able to hold it for long enough in either 1v1 or FFA.

Whatever. It's still an interesting item though.

 

[JamietheAuraUser]

Favourite new items so far:

1. Rocket Belt (It's a jetpack. 'Nuff said.)
2. Boomerang (Toss it repeatedly for ever-increasing damage? Now that's a gimmick I can get behind!)
3. Bombchu (It's like a Bob-omb that climbs up walls to sneak up on my foes, and its compact size and dark colour will make it hard to see when it's crawling around on dark-coloured floors or on ceilings. It'll take my friends weeks to learn to reliably notice and avoid it.)
4. Bullet Bill (Massive damage to everyone in front and also good for recovery!)
5. Killer Eye (A turret to increase my epic stage-controlling powers? Yes please!)
6. Pow Block (This thing is gonna be fun to camp the far side of Palutena's Temple with while hitting everyone else who are off fighting in the opposite corner of the stage.
7. Gust Bellows (Like FLUDD, but I don't have to charge and I can fire continuously while moving. And I can throw it and have it bounce in place while blasting wind everywhere to push foes back into my attacks.)
8. Master Ball (Causes mass scrambling and hype, plus there are a huge number of awesome new Pokemon in this game!)
9. Blue Shell (I can toss this and hit the opponent with the highest stocks/score from anywhere on the stage! That's mad awesome.)
10. Beetle (The ultimate humiliation in KOs.)

What about a Robotnik (Eggman) capsule that when the button on top is pressed, tiny animals come out and swarm your enemies? They were in the original Sonic games at least.

You know I had a weird idea for a Sonic item. It doesn't work like it does in the games but what if you could collect rings during battle, then whenever you get ko'd the rings shower outwards from where you were ko'd, hitting your enemies. So the more rings you collect the harder to dodge it becomes.

That robotnik idea is golden :o

Whatever. It's still an interesting item though.

That might be the item's purpose. To disrupt the match flow as everyone darts towards the item, at least the people who notice it first. Like throwing a bone in a dogfight.

Even then, people may still earn KO's while they're fighting for the S-Flag. I think it'd be funny, provided it doesn't appear too often.

 

[_Sheik]

So far so bad IMO, I expected better after the golden week we've had last week.

 

[Marakatu]

Man, what's with all those OP items?
Next time: a new hard-to-use item that gives real life damage to your opponent.

 

[praline]

This is pretty cool.

Hammer now bricks your opponents Wii U/3DS when you kill them with it.

 

[spader13]

It seems like each iteration adds more items that are really important to beat your opponent to, and this item joins those ranks. It'll be interesting to see how frequent it is and how long it takes to get its benefit as it might end up being not a big deal if it's really easy to prevent a successful use.

 

[Deleted member]

I'm going to have a match with all items off except Bottled Fairy, Special Flag, Dragoon, Daybreak, Golden Hammer, and Smash Ball.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Thats what the s flag does

Its a extra life thing if you hold it long enough in the sky

And a point for time matches

That is the best item yet.

So i think S flag might be the rarest item spawn if a atribute like that

And i'm also pretty sure after just 1 1up/point it disapears.

May the flying spaghetti monster have mercy on us all :o

Well, the E-Tank should replace the Heart Container because HC isn't even a healing item to begin with, and E-Tank's much more iconic. Also, the now-completely-irrelevant Bunny Hood should be replaced by Sonic's Speed Shoes monitor, we should also get the elemental shields from Sonic & Knuckles, and maybe one or two Wisp Color Powers.

 

[Fatmanonice]

I hope this item is reasonably balanced. I loathed the heart container in the original Smash Bros because of how long it dragged out matches for (when it healed all your HP instead of 100%) and this could wind up being 10 times worse.

 

[DraginHikari]

That kind of depends on how long you have to hold the thing up for, in the Pac Man trailer it seems like they were stuck in that position for quite awhile because I'm assuming if you are hit during the animation that your going to drop it.

 

[Sonsa]

I wonder if the special flag will show up in classic mode and if you could, with enough determination, fight Master hand with 99 lives. There probably wouldn't be an award or anything but if those cute little accomplishments return from melee it'd be nice to have some recognition like 5000 pts titled "Time to kill" or something. Ah, I may be overthinking.

Anyway, I know I'm super duper early, but maybe tonight we could see an alternate costume. Hopefully on the Kalos League stage, I really think it may be my favorite, it's absolutely gorgeous!

I also want an explanation for the whole "just roughly" business with assist trophies on the 3DS version and Wii U version. Remember that? But I expect to have it explained in the Smash Direct.

 

[DarkNintendo2000]

Pretty cool for the POTD on my birthday to finally have that item explained! It's gonna be super fun to scramble for it when it appears, but this probably gives the hardcore competitive fans more reason to play with items off, so whatever. Also, did CoroCoro get scanned and released yet?

It did, and it shows a grand total of nothing.
Well, there's Mii stuff but that's it

 

[Blargg888]

This item is mostly bad for bigger stages, especially palutena temple.

This will probably confuse the casuals. Well most items will lol

In what way?

Man, imagine a stock match with items on high & only the S-Flag is on.

That's actually exactly what I plan to do. On Palutena's temple. With Bowser, Villager, Megaman, and Pikachu. With no time limit. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

This item would have been hectic for that crazy match I had in Melee with friends.

Basically we played a four player 99-stock match to its completion (it was sudden death mode mind you) on Temple and it took forever. Adding this item to the fray on very high would mean we'd probably still be playing today.

In brawl, I always liked to turn the Damage Ration on to 2.0, Smart bombs only, Mushroomy kingdom, special fast light 300% flower brawl, and 99 stock. The matches literally break the game, and they don't last that long.

 

[DarkNintendo2000]

Ah, I guess it was expected, but I was hopeful. Thanks!

 

[zeonie888]

My top three favorite items
1. Beetle
2. Master Ball
3. Jetpack

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

I definitely have to wonder what, if anything, this item will do if grabbed when the player already has 99 stock. This item will also have to be off for a lot of event matches and such as it would really break a lot of them; how would a multi-man opponent grabbing this affect things? I don't forsee interesting gameplay from the S-flag, but I do forsee interesting mechanical experiements.

 

[Jords2Good]

The good thing about the blue shell is that you can actually dodge it so its not too bad, if anything you can use it to your advantage by dodging the blue shell above a fighter.

Good stuff. I don't really like the dragoon but the day breaker seems good.

 

[Curious Villager]

I always kinda imagined that if we where to get a 1-up type item, that whenever you choose the stock count and you get it then it won't go higher than that.

So like if you've set the stock to 5 then it can only go up to 5 but it wouldn't go higher than that..... But I guess that's just me.... ^^;

All in all, it's a pretty neat item overall.

12 AM? Wow, that's incredible, even if today's picture was mediocre. Then again, it did show new info. When was the last time we actually had filler?

being as we are so close to release, i don't foresee that much filler anymore.
could be wrong.
watch it be filler tonight
