Today's picture is too funny. It would be hilarious if the Gyroid is actually a stage hazard (or anything but part of Villager's moveset) and Sakurai just took a very clever screenshot, making the perspective seem like Villager is riding the Gyroid. Who knows... but I'd totally love it if the flying Gyroid is his stage entrance.

That's a good idea, the stage entrance.

He could be coming in from high above the stage and Sakurai just positioned the camera with good timing.

But what if his final smash is the same as Olimar's, just a gyroid instead of a rocket ship and bees instead of bulborbs? :troll:

If that's his FS, I would like to see him fly around with an ax in his hand cause we all know he is a psychopath.

at first I thought it could be one of his specials....but all of his B moves seem to be accounted for;
Neutral B: pocket
Side B: bowling ball
Down B: Tree grow
Up B: balloon helmet (note that im just speculating the specifics here)
So it very well could be an entrance for him or his FS, how however im not sold on it being his FS...

^^^^^^^^^ The bowling ball looks like his down smash; I don't think we've seen it used in the air

I remember in the preBrawl days that some of the villager/animal crosser supporters would joke that his/her final smash should have been summoning Tom Nook who would then proceed to drop a massive house on your closest opponent. :laugh:

The best ones I ever read were that cockroaches would eat the opponents, bees would swarm, sting, and stun the foes, or that the (then) Animal Crosser will net the opponent, catch them with their rod, and then throw them (while still on the rod) out for the kill! :chuckle:

Bowling ball as the side B? Did we see him use it midair and on ground or something?

And since when are Gyroids rockets?!

I hope this is revealing some other special other then final smash that can be used by giving out damage.

Thought I might chime in...



If you look at the geometry of the two gyroids, you'll notice that the one that's a stage backdrop has a lower poly count (note the elbows, top of the head), a lower res texture for the face and dots, and also has a lot of "baked in" shading, which is missing from the one that Villager is riding on. Also, the one Villager is riding seems to have a little bit of bump mapping that is missing from the stage object (looking at the ridges of the "eye holes," the right edge of the right eye (from our perspective) is slightly lit, whereas the other ridges are darker toward the center of the eye hole, indicating that lighting effects the texture of the face.

Given the fact that the characters' models are MUCH more detailed than other elements in the game, it's reasonable to deduce that the Gyroid he's riding isn't part of the stage.

I personally think it's most likely that it's an attack, since I would guess that an item or assist trophy wouldn't be as well modeled. BUT, I can't say that for sure, since we don't really have other items or assist trophies to look at in order to reference how detailed they are.

If its an item, I want an awkward photo with Bowser and DK riding this Gyroid.
While Villager just stares at their blundering obesity.

Considering how Sakurai pays attention to detail I expect the Gyroid in the picture would have a struggling "please kill me" face on.

Despite gyroids not really showing emotion.

His final smash is that he mounts his flying Gyroid, and this music starts playing while he flies around dropping leaves (that turn into furniture mid-fall) with a chance of dropping bees.

I can dig it.

You were almost right, but I felt I should correct you.

By K.K. Rock you meant Rockin' K.K.
And he doesn't drop furniture, he drops hippies.

Villager's moveset is tricky to work out. We can be pretty sure the balloon fight move is up special, that the item grab move is a special, and that the complex tree planting move is a special (there are just too many steps for it to be something like fsmash). I think this thing he's riding would be a special, probably side special, and that leaves every other move having to be a normal. The bowling ball is the odddest one, but I can see it as a very strange fair or nair (we've only seen it used from the air, and in the one video in which he did the shovel -> bowling ball combo, he jumped really high up before using the bowling ball instead of just walking over and doing it point blank on the ground). He has already shown the slingshot as bair so it makes sense, and as far as I can tell, we haven't seen any of his other aerials.

If it was a final smash he would be glowing
The bowling ball is not an air attack.

But just speculating... what if his collect ability was also his grab? When he grabs an opponent he might hold him where as when he grabs an item or projectile, he collects it.

This would leave open another slot for a special. Like:
Neutral b: bowling ball
Down b: tree
side b: gyroid
Up b: ballons

Pretty sure the pit digging move is Down Smash.

Freaking confusing man; Sakurai needs to just list what moves are which.

Also, I'm pretty sure the digging (and planting a tree) is the down smash; you are correct there I think.

Maybe if you collect the three pieces of the gyroid... you can fly into someone and insta-kill them? no, that doesn't seem right...

Maybe a stage hazard? :urg:

nah, probably a final smash or an entrance animation

Why wouldn't it make sense? When does the Villager riding a gyroid like a rocket in a platform fighting game make any sense?

When he was revealed using the balloon hat he was wearing it didn't hint or look like he could glide at all. The balloon special looks more like a slow recovery, plus balloons aren't meant for gliding anyway. Sure this is a video game and real life logic should hold no water what so ever, but balloons don't really work that way.

Toy Story 3 was awful

I don't think the balloons will be used to glide, if anything they will be like the parasol in Melee
Click to expand...
Disregarding that comment about Toy Story 3 The balloons could just be a recovery in that he deploys the balloon and you have to tilt upwards to get him to flap his arms and go upwards. It would be a different recovery but an effective one (hopefully).
