Miiverse Daily Smash 4 Photos (Closed for its successor)

Those guns look like they would hurt more when thrown...I approve.

 

[Inawordyes]

I'm really enjoying that it isn't just the characters getting the updated design love. First the capsules, now the ray gun.

Since we know (EDIT: Heavily suspect due to the changes in design that two veteran items have received so far) that the items' looks are placeholders, what do you imagine the redesigned Beam Sword, Fan, Home-Run Bat, Smash Ball, and Assist Trophy will look like, assuming they get redesigns too? I'm most excited for the Assist Trophy.

RAYGUN!?

RAYMAN CONFIRMED

 

[StupendousMike]

This redesign I like a lot, but I still don't understand why they don't use the design of the NES Zapper like they do with the Super Scope.
In general the items look chubbier than in previous installments.

How many items were original from Smash Bros. in Brawl? I remember the assist trophies, that one with the Smash logo, and nothing else. I hope they'll get a redesign.

I think the Cracker Launcher and Gooey Bomb were Brawl originals.

Nitrus has always dreamed big. They said should could be anything she wanted to be, so she became The Joker. ¦D

 

[Tweezer Salad]

huh, that gun.

is this Smash Bros or Ratchet and Clank?

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Really?

Yes actually.

but again not as much as Spyro

 

[MSmariosonic]

Yes actually.

but again not as much as Spyro

You want that purple dragon? Guess which purple dragon I want....

 

[NitrusVirus]

Spyro>Rayman

 

[KingofPhantoms]

You want that purple dragon? Guess which purple dragon I want....

Waluigi in dragon form.

Seriously though, Ridley is one of my most wanted newcomers. (I want him more than Spyro of course. And unlike Spyro he actually has a good shot at getting in)

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Pokemon Trainer (and his pokemon) > Ridley > Everything else

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

Yes actually.

but again not as much as Spyro

Rayman won't get in Smash 4 or even Smash 5 and 6, but I wish he was in...

Just as long as his moves and stages mainly come from his first original games.

The only Rayman games I've played are Rayman 1, Rayman 2: The Great Escape, Rayman GBC, Rayman 2 GBC, and Rayman 3 GBA.

One stage based off Candy Chateau from the original game and another stage based off The Precipice from Rayman 2.
With music tracks from their respective games, Origins and Legends, the Rabbid games, Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, and more.

If you don't think these music tracks are awesome, then you aren't a cool person.

Nah, it takes a while for it show up.

 

[Radical Bones]

I love this new look. Reminds me of the Quack-O-Ray/Shock Blaster from Ratchet and Clank. Ratchet and Clank conf...

 

[FalKoopa]

Boy, that ray gun.

 

[AnOkayDM]

That's quite a ray gun.

 

[ChickenWing13]

New item. Cool!

Nah, he's being a bit Slackurai.

 

[TNTyoshi]

Looks alright, looks like something nerf would make for one of there water guns.

 

[Zhadgon]

Sakurai:
"Pic of the day. Here's the new edition of the Ray Gun. The Smash Bros. mark appears backward because it acts like a stamp. We design the Ray Gun carefully each time to ensure it doesn't look like a real gun."

.n_n.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Sweet crib man, that's one hell of a gun. (-lAl-);

EDIT: Ray Gun got redesigned again? Amazing look on it then.

 

[Rosalina suporter]

New item. Cool!
Or is it a redesigned item?

That looks fancy i love it!

 

[NitrusVirus]

"to ensure it doesn't look like a real gun."
Grow up and grow some ****ing balls Sakurai. ****.

 

[-TAG-]

The new Raygun design looks like something out of Ratchet & Clank.

 

[McDuckletts]

"to ensure it doesn't look like a real gun."
Grow up and grow some ****ing balls Sakurai. ****.

They can't make it look like a real gun because it's a children's game.
Also, laser guns > real guns.

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

Just remembered what it reminds me of:

 

[Deleted member]

If Sakurai "grew up and grew some ****ing balls", he wouldn't be working on a cartoonish fighting game like Smash, now would he?


I mean-HOW DARE SAKURAI NOT MAKE THIS ALL MATURE AND GRITTY LIKE CALL OF DUTY

 

[NitrusVirus]

They can't make it look like a real gun because it's a children's game.
Also, laser guns > real guns.

"Because its a childrens game" is not any kind of valid excuse. Its not even a childrens game, its an "everyone" game. Its core ****ing audience is comprised of people old enough to take their own ****s. Snakes entire ****ing moveset is made of realistic weapons and he snaps players necks. I hhhhaaaaate this kind of mentality. "Because it doesnt exist its okay to kill people in a game with it." Oh. Okay.

If Sakurai "grew up and grew some ****ing balls", he wouldn't be working on a cartoonish fighting game like Smash, now would he?


I mean-HOW DARE SAKURAI NOT MAKE THIS ALL MATURE AND GRITTY LIKE CALL OF DUTY

Yes, because thats what I said. Its called hypocrisy. Call of Duty is garbage. Get over yourself.

Its not the design or the decision I have a problem with. Its the blatant bull**** hypocrisy on Sakurais part.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

Actually, if we wanna get technical, Smash has been rated T for Teen since Melee to Brawl. Not E for Everyone. ¦D

 

[Vintage Creep]

If Sakurai "grew up and grew some ****ing balls", he wouldn't be working on a cartoonish fighting game like Smash, now would he?


I mean-HOW DARE SAKURAI NOT MAKE THIS ALL MATURE AND GRITTY LIKE CALL OF DUTY

That is absolutely not what he meant.

 

[Mr.Universe]

Love this design, personally. I wonder what this means for the Super Scope, as that looked more like a gun than anything.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

"Because its a childrens game" is not any kind of valid excuse. Its not even achildrens game, its an "everyone" game. Its core ****ing audience is comprised of people old enough to take their own ****s. Snakes entire ****ing moveset is made of realistic weapons and he snaps playersnecks. Regardless youre ****ing killing people. What you use to kill them or hurt them doesntmake a difference if youre going to killing them. I hhhhaaaaate this kind of mentality. "Because it doesnt exist its okay to kill people in a game with it." Oh. Okay.Yes, because thats what I said. Its called hypocrisy. Call of Duty is garbage. Get over yourself.

I think it's more along of possible lawsuits by various companies. Including Game Freak (you know hard how they are to work with). And Smash would not succeed without Pokemon.

There's also the fact that some characters wielding a realistic gun look plain freaky... I mean the idea of wielding an AK-47 or a pistol just seems silly and ruins the immersion. Yes, and can wield bunny hoods and that kinda ruins the immersion, but the visual gag of a murderous warlord having bunny ears is much funnier and probably worth more time and risk than a pokemon with a gun. It's a much safer joke to make from a business standpoint as well.

Again, there's also the fact that realistic bullets don't work in a game like smash. And I mean gameplay wise. Realistic bullets are too small to easily see and often blend into the background. Other fighting games such as Blazblue, Guilty Gear and Marvel Vs Capcom all dealt with this by making bullets all glowly and laser like. If smash did that, the gun might as well look like a laser gun.

I'm sure there are more reasons, but I'm tired....

Regarding Snake though... Explosions can typically be seen as cartoony I suppose. But the neck snapping is interesting. It implies some non family friendly stuff. But even then, the way he snaps necks isn't realistic at all. Necks don't work like that. It almost looks like he's giving someone the Heimlich. Especially with that torso movement. Not saying that makes it any better, but it's interesting to note.
