Miiverse Daily Smash 4 Photos (Closed for its successor)

[NitrusVirus]

So anyone has seen these screenshots before ? I haven't... at least some are new to me.

Yeah those are from some german nintendo site or something

 

[APC99]

Love this stage so far... I was psyched when I saw it this morning.

 

[Sluigi123]

Galaxy stage confrimed...

 

[MasterOfKnees]

What ?! No. This doesn't open a spot for Rosalina. It's from a Mario game, like someone said above, she'll be at best an assist trophy. I do not think she will be a character based of this stage and her inclusion in SM3DW. Drawing conclusions from such little evidence is very hopeful thinking. And besides - Rosalina before Toad or Junior?

Yeah. People were expecting a Galaxy stage anyways, so did the same people expect Rosalina because of it too? Peope are getting swept up in the hype of her being playable in SM3DW right now. The Galaxy stage was bound to happen anyways, and its official announcement was long overdue since the teaser.

As far as I see it, Rosalina is still being put under Toad by the Super Mario team, and she also has to pass by both Bowser Jr. and Paper Mario who have both made names for themselves, something I still don't feel Rosalina has. Even then, all of these characters need to go on ahead of many other potential newcomers, which is why I'm not expecting a Mario newcomer at all, other series simply need it more, both series which are already in or doesn't have anything on the roster.

So yeah, Rosalina still has a lot to pass by, her chances are still very doubtful.

 

[Johnknight1]

I'm expecting another reveal within the next week. As they said, next friday is a big week for nintendo with 3 heavy hitting titles releasing at the same time.

I'm expecting the unveil of at least 5 new images next week.

In my opinion, although I'll try her out once I get 3D World, I think Nintendo missed an opportunity. Yoshi and Wario need some time in the 3D spotlight, and I'd have even been OK with Waluigi, Daisy or Donkey Kong. However, I think Rosalina's going to become a main Mario character now. Expect her to be in almost every spin-off now (Mario Kart, Mario Baseball, Mario Strikers, the usual stuff) as she seems to be part of the main Mario group now, making her the first new member since Bowser Junior. However, don't expect her in Smash. Birdo falls into the same category nowadays, and nobody expects her, so...

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

[Johnknight1]

Rosalina's playable in 3D World, a Mario Galaxy stage in Smash Bros., it would be a very stupid idea to not make Rosalina a playable character at this point.

Nope.

Why would you add Rosalina over the likes of Ridley, K. Rool, Shulk, Isaac, Miis (especially given how awesome the Villager is), Takamaru, Sukapon, Plusle and Minun, Little Mac, Dixie Kong, the Mach Rider, Samurai Goroh, the entire Brawl roster, a slightly redone Mewtwo, a largely redone Roy, an entirely redone Pichu, various potential Pokémon newcomers, etc. etc. etc.

Heck, Bowser Jr. and especially Paper Mario are a lot more intruiging choices for playable Mario universe characters anyways.

Really, there is not a heck of a lot of a reason to add Rosalina. Rosalina simply doesn't have as much potential as a playable character as all of those characters in terms of everything... moveset/movepool, playstyle, or skillset, or even uniqueness, versatility, fun, or the sum of all those things added up in me getting hyped to play as/against her like 10 years down the road like what I feel towards a majority of the Melee roster and all of the Smash 64 roster (at least IMO).

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

knowing sakurai for the punch out anniversary. . .assist trophies will return. . .

Your not thinking little mac will be a assist trophy again do you?

(Unless sakurai tryed his best to give mac a moveset but coulden't)

 

[Johnknight1]

Pffft, nd ppl thought this was FD:

Spoiler

Everybody figured that was Galaxy, and if not, a Star Fox stage.

Even then, that "bloom" and "brightness" still had that obvious Mario Galaxy stage vibe. On top of that, everyone knew there would be a Galaxy stage, just like how everyone knew there would be a Sunshine stage in Brawl or a Mario 64 stage in Melee.

I think one of the best gifts for the upcoming holidays to receive would be a second trailer. I'd so be into that.
I feel like that may just be hopeful thinking though. ;_;

I think a second trailer could happen by the end of the year, but I doubt it would be longer than 80 or so seconds.

Really though, I don't expect a new trailer until 2014 though. That year I expect 3 or 4.

Maybe we'll even get 2 simultaneously released trailers: one for Smash Wii U and one for Smash 3DS!

 

[8-peacock-8]

Everybody figured that was Galaxy, and if not, a Star Fox stage.

A lot of people thought it was Battlefield for some reason.

 

[Johnknight1]

A lot of people thought it was Battlefield for some reason.

I think you meant to say "A lot of dumb people thought it was Battlefield for some reason."

I mean that as an initial reaction makes sense, but after we compared pictures of it to nighttime Battlefield Wii U, it clearly was a Mario Galaxy stage.

In my opinion, although I'll try her out once I get 3D World, I think Nintendo missed an opportunity. Yoshi and Wario need some time in the 3D spotlight, and I'd have even been OK with Waluigi, Daisy or Donkey Kong. However, I think Rosalina's going to become a main Mario character now.

However, don't expect her in Smash. Birdo falls into the same category nowadays, and nobody expects her, so...

I was going to call you out for this, but then I realized you were talking about the Marion franchise instead of Smash.

Also, Wart, Birdo, and Kamek should have bigger roles in the canon Mario universe IMO. Heck, make them all bosses in Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario while we're at it. I'd also be for doing the same thing with all the bosses from Mario 2. Heck, let's just make all the classic Mario bosses of any Mario franchise come back, too. I mean seriously, General Guy, Rawk Hawk, etc. coming back in Paper Mario (for instance) would be pretty hype.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Rosalina shouldn't have priority over Toad or Bowser Jr (who I'm not even a fan of). Heck, I'd even argue that Waluigi has more priority simply because he's been around since 2000 and has been playable in virtually every Mario spinoff since. If she continues being a relevant character in the franchise, MAYBE she could be considered playable for Smash 5 but anything more than an assist trophy at this time is asking for a bit too much.

 

[Johnknight1]

Man, I wonder what Zelda is gonna look like. Something tells me she'll look fabulous on this Mario Galaxy stage.

I don't care about popularity, "relevance", or any of that.

I want the best playable characters GAMEPLAY-wise. Toad and Rosalina simply doesn't cut it as anything but a last minute add-on. Bowser Jr. is an okay but not great choice.

I can vouch for that. If any Mario character deserves to get added to the roster it Waluigi's lanky a**. Not sure how I feel about Rosalina as a playable character or what her moveset would even be.

 

[Johnknight1]

What does Waluigi have that is unique=???

If we're going for the unique angle, Paper Mario, Kamek, and Wart stand out the most, and Bowser Jr. isn't too far behind.

 

[Tepig2000]

Doesn't he usually scratch behind his ears and look both ways during idle? Not sit down?

But Sakurai could have changed this.

 

[ChickenWing13]

Idk what makes him unique if he isn't playable to begin with. Never even mentioned "unique" in the first place. I would however like to know what makes him NOT unique.

I agree with this. The developers would have to flex a lot of creative muscle to make any of these characters interesting to play as which is one of the reasons why I still like the idea of Geno (despite his chances being virtually nonexistent). Waluigi is a blank slate too but he just strikes me as someone who would be fun to play as regardless of what his final moveset ended up as simply because of his character design and personality.

Exactly. Gameplay is king, and honestly, I wonder if some people here just want a roster to stare at it, instead of PLAY IT! I know all I ever think about with Smash Brothers is PLAYING THE GAM!

As for Geno, he's got amazing potential as a playable character. If you play Super Mario RPG, you see it. He could be a mid-ranged projectile heavy character with loads of cool combos, gizmos, and whatnot. The potential there is off the roof IMO.


As for Waluigi, he could be a blank slate, but honestly there are more interesting blank slate characters. We haven't really gotten a true "blank slate" newcomer yet. The Wii Fit Trainer dabbles with it a bit, and Villager has a few elements of a blank slate character, but so far, we're lacking one.

The way I see it, I prefer crazy blank slate characters, like the Miis (they could be amazing; like the Villager but even more random!), Pac-Man (I just feel the development team has something planned for Pac-Man), Isaac (in terms of his swordplay at least), Hector (Fire Emblem), Wart, Kamek, etc.

 

[iam8bit]

Gee, thanks guys, it's taking me ages to catch up with the thread because of yesterday's crazyness.

I hope the mario galaxy stage confirmed today cheers you up

And we were right for once remeber the kirby with a hammer picture with the space background that really was a mario galaxy stage

 

[Fatmanonice]

I'm not even going to try to cover it up, Brawl in the Family has made me biased as hell towards Waluigi as a Mario newcomer.

 

[The Real Gamer]

This. Hell I'd throw Paper Mario in there as well.

 

[FalKoopa]

Wart? Really?

Personally, I think Toad = Bowser Jr. > Paper Mario > Rosalina > Waluigi in terms of importance.

Given how Sakurai can create awesome movesets (Captain Falcon, for example) with little to no canon material, gameplay potential shouldn't be a much of a problem.

 

[smashbroskilla]

mind=blown

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I'm sorry, but Waluigi isn't possible with his spin-off only reputation.

So yeah, Rosalina still has a lot to pass by, her chances are still very doubtful.

Seriously. It's just the wave of hype. If this were, say, the pit from Skyward Sword where you fight Ghirahim and Demise, would that mean either are confirmed? Ofcourse not.

 

[ChickenWing13]

I'm sorry, but Waluigi isn't possible with his spin-off only reputation.

Thank you Sakurai!

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

One can only hope, but hope doesn't really help when you get annihilated by anti-supporters wherever you go.

 

[Louie G.]

I think that the Mario newcomers go something like this:

(Blue)Toad, Bowser Jr. and Paper Mario (All about the same. Normal Toad and Blule Toad share a spot)
Rosalina
Dr. Mario
Waluigi
Daisy(?)
Everyone else

There are so many Mario characters, but after Waluigi things start to get fuzzy. I think that the 3 up top are most plausible, but Rosalina is creeping up there.

 

[MopedOfJustice]

I'm on page 183 right now, but can anyone tell me if Samus's laser looks like it curves? I am sure gravity-effected projectiles will bend, but what about ones that aren't?

 

[Fatmanonice]

I'm sorry, but Waluigi isn't possible with his spin-off only reputation.

I don't think it really matters that much. I'm not saying he's the most likely Mario character but I wouldn't entirely rule him out either. He's definitely a staple of the franchise with only one notable absence since 2000 (Mario Kart 7) and I think that puts him above a lot of would-be Mario candidates. Heck, the fact that he could technically be counted as a Wario character is kind of something that's going for him too, sidestepping the Mario rep argument altogether.

 

[Louie G.]

Yeah, but for some reason Nintendo never puts Waluigi in Wario games.
I can never understand that...

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Yeah, but for some reason Nintendo never puts Waluigi in Wario games.
I can never understand that...

After what happened during the Brawl hype, I pretty much threw my Waluigi support into the trash. I don't really care about Waluigi now, apart from making another Assist Trophy appearance.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Yeah, but for some reason Nintendo never puts Waluigi in Wario games.
I can never understand that...

There's a lot of hilarity and entertainment that can be added if Waluigi ever appears in a Wario game.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Yeah, but for some reason Nintendo never puts Waluigi in Wario games.
I can never understand that...

Which is weird but I feel that it will eventually happen but I still enjoy him in the Mario spinoff games regardless. His main appeal is comic relief if anything, despite being completely inconsequential towards the Mario canon. On its own, it was a really stupid and unoriginal character concept (evil Luigi, hurr-durr) that Nintendo somehow made brilliant and that's what I've come to appreciate most about the character.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Yeah, but for some reason Nintendo never puts Waluigi in Wario games.
I can never understand that...

Yeah, always baffled me that it was just Wario with a bunch of other original characters that appeared in Wario Ware. Sure there's a **** ton of references, but would it hurt too much to also throw Waluigi in there? Just to at least have a little more connection to the Mario series? And I say that as someone who hates Waluigi.

 

[Problem2]

I want Rosalina and Paper Mario.

 

[TumblrFamous]

I'm on page 183 right now, but can anyone tell me if Samus's laser looks like it curves? I am sure gravity-effected projectiles will bend, but what about ones that aren't?

it is, it is. This means items and projectiles will be doing so. Imagine Fox's blaster.
