Miiverse Daily Smash 4 Photos (Closed for its successor)

[Neo Zero]

I think the more interesting part of this whole thing is that at this moment, it seems that all control/input is shared. The things that aren't shared by both (such as sending the Luma away or summoning it) still renders the other incapable of acting (barring some awesome desync at that could pop up of course). Also worth noting is the different levels she can cover using the Luma. It makes for a very a very interesting fighter that's actually quite different from other stand/puppet users.

But who f***ing cares about that when you can do double Fsmash on them!

 

[N3ON]

And with that, the KI anniversary celebration was a lie. ;-;

It's only a lie if it was actually promised which, correct me if I'm wrong, it never was.

 

[Starbound]

I swear if Luma can grab...

 

[UnownLegend]

do you think the smash attacks will have different effects/damage/knock-back depending on who hits, rosalina or luma?

 

[Sonsa]

Rosa looks tough to learn but quite worth it. Some real fancy combos will ensue! And I doubt Luma has a grab, but if (s)he did, wow, you could play catch. Just great to see an all new playstyle in smash.
There are many questions left unanswered about her, but the one that I feel a tad more curious about is...well what might her final smash be?

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

Remote control.
Man, Rosalina brings something new to the table that other characters don't (Ice Climbers come close, but not quite) and makes me want to play the game. (as her)
Two of Sakurai's criteria down. ♫♪

I'm still disappointed that Toad and Bowser Jr. are nigh unlikely, but it doesn't bother me too much. If she had a bland or generic moveset/playstyle then I'd be much more bothered.

Very interested to see how the whole puppeteer/remote control thing works. ♫

Do you press standard B to control the Luma while Rosalina stays in place?

[Admiral Pit]

It's only a lie if it was actually promised which, correct me if I'm wrong, it never was.

I'm just gonna be secretly sad for a while, that's all, though the next stronghold will be in March.

 

[PikaJew]

how can people be upset with this?
i understand that rosalina wasn't on any of your short lists for characters you wanted,
but she is insanely unique.

how can you not get excited watching that footage?
she looks insane
the combo possibilities are endless
i think she just surpassed villager as the character i am most excited to play as

and at the end of the day isn't that what we all want?
a roster filled with unique characters?

 

[Sonsa]

You know she kind of reminds me of Mewtwo with all her floating around and grabbing things with her cool psychic space gravity magic. I...I want to be more excited for Villager...but the competition is tough. Rosalina is a space queen with Mewtwo power and star sidekicks and she can kick you with a galaxy. Unless Tetra shows up, I gatta smash all who stand in my way with Rosalina.

 

[mygamecube]

I'm super late, and have never seen this before, but apparently this was some very early concept art for the game. Kinda cool.

It doesn't necessarily confirm that Wario, MK, Ness(dat Mr. Saturn), ZSS, and G&W will be back, but it gives them a strong possibility. I personally think they're all shoe-ins anyway.

Again I know I'm majorly late haha. This was back in 2012 apparently.

Edit: The art style really reminds me of the N64 art style on the cover/booklet.

 

[RhymesWithEmpty]

Man, I really have to eat my words with this one, I've slammed Rosalina as being unlikely in the past... how wrong I was! She just seemed like such assist trophy material, but damn, it looks like Sakurai and the team have done a great job of making her an incredibly unique character! She wasn't my most wanted Mario newcomer, but she was far from my least, and I'm certainly more excited for her than some of the other popular choices, so I'll happily gulp down my words and look forward to trying her out!

Seems like Nintendo is really pushing her, too - I wonder if they've got bigger plans for her?

 

[PikaJew]

Wow... people on Miiverse are already asking for new characters... my god...

 

[Baskerville]

Go on Miiverse for the pictures only.

 

[N3ON]

Don't people on Miiverse ask for new characters... like everyday anyway?

 

[soviet prince]

at first I was disappointing but have grown to like her

 

[Neo Zero]

Actually I have a question now, is that a B move or a Smash? Considering the animation of Rosa and Luma are different, I'd assume it'd likely be a B move then correct?

 

[NickRiddle]

Don't people on Miiverse ask for new characters... like everyday anyway?

Sounds just like this thread.

 

[N3ON]

Sounds just like this thread.

Yeah, this thread, Miiverse, and pretty much all of Smash 4 speculation in general.

 

[Radical Bones]

Seems like Nintendo is really pushing her, too - I wonder if they've got bigger plans for her?

You know, when she was announced to be in 3D World, I was wondering the same thing. Miyamoto said that the Galaxy series might come back, and I was thinking... Super Mario Galaxy 3, with Rosalina as the only playable character. That way, the series doesn't die and Mario can move on to new things.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

You're an idiot if you think Zelda is not going to return. The SERIES the representatives are from are named after HER. Its the LEGEND OF ZELDA lmfao.

And Peach Bowser etc weren't in Smash 64 either. Characters have similar movesets. Ness and peach have the same exact Nair.

There are no other significant representatives from the Zelda universe besides Ganondorf.

It's HIGHLY safe to assume that if they made it into Melee, then made it into Brawl, they're going to be in 4.

Aye, who in the hell are you calling an idiot? There's no need to call someone names because of stating my opinion; you better check yourself.

Second, if you read my previous comments without the proverbial tunnel vision that this forum is famous for, I stated that they could simply tweak her design, as having too many characters who share similar moves becomes stale and redundant.

No one on this forum knows what's gonna happen with this game so don't come at me foul because you feel the need to vehemently defend one of your favorite characters in a freakin' video game. Anyone can get kicked and if they're gone they're gone, move on with life .

Anniversaries really don't matter much, especially not for newcomers. Just look at Rosalina, she was revealed without coinciding with anything Mario intentionally. Of course a Mario Kart trailer came afterwards, but as Iwata said that was merely a coincidence, it'd have been impossible to plan too considering how long a CGI trailer like Rosalina's is in development versus a little Mario Kart gameplay trailer. Even then the only time an anniversary has mattered was for Peach, and that was probably just used as an excuse since it was simply a long time since we had a character reveal.

I say don't put any faith in anniversaries. Metroid didn't get anything, F-Zero didn't get anything, it's no surprise Kid Icarus didn't get anything. If Palutena is in she'll be revealed when Sakurai sees fit, not because of an anniversary, and the same goes for every other potential newcomer.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

I never understood why people here wine so much, like, does no one here have any humility? I love the fact that we got a new character, and I'm also very happy for the people who wanted to see her in the game. I always though she would just be a Peach costume but I too ate my words and I'm glad I did; she's f*cking sick!

Also, I think you'll be able to control Luma even if you aren't stationary, as when DK in the trailer was carrying her Luma F-smashed him. I can't wait to play with her.

 

[FalKoopa]

I never understood why people here wine so much, like, does no one here have any humility?

Lol.

But I agree. Still, the butthurt about Rosalina is notably less than WFT or ROB.

It's all true and all but... Zelda is definitely coming back.
If you think otherwise, you're not an idiot, sure, but naive? Oh yes.

There are certain things which don't need confirmation. This "We know nothing." policy becomes pretty ridiculous sometimes.

Hey, for all we know, Yoshi could've been scrapped!
Come on now.

I just prepare for the worse possible scenario. I guess everyone missed the bit about when I included the possibility of redesigning her and got livid when I even fathomed the possibility of exclusion.

Yoshi for all I know if probably getting a make over, same for the other veteran characters.

You are just...so adorable, Simon. :3

 

[Baskerville]

Lol.

It's kinda hard to be bitter about it after how she turned out.

 

[MechaWave]

I should mention that, even though we all saw this picture coming, it does confirm one thing. Luma isn't AI controlled like Nana; Rosalina acts like a true puppeteer character.

 

[Vintage Creep]

Like survivalists?

You are just...so adorable, Simon. :3

I know, thank you.

 

[Berserker.]

The overall reactions to Rosalina were neutral and excited about how she plays sans Rosalina supporters.

 

[Vintage Creep]

I should mention that, even though we all saw this picture coming, it does confirm one thing. Luma isn't AI controlled like Nana; Rosalina acts like a true puppeteer character.

That seemed fairly obvious to me.
What I want to know is what happens if you move after using that... move, sorry. Does Luma move too in the direction Rosalina is going?
I want another Developer Direct...

 

[CrimsonDivine]

Seems that maybe the Luma will be controlled with B and Rosalina will be controlled using A. Quick question, what's you opinion on the different colored Lumas? Personally, I believe that they do elemental damage based on whether the Luma is red, blue, yellow, or green.

 

[Protom]

You guys are wrong! The best conductor is conductor link!!!

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Lol.

But I agree. Still, the butthurt about Rosalina is notably less than WFT or ROB.

It's not even on Wolf levels. Even some people like me who thought we'd dread the inclusion of Rosalina have warmed up to her just because of the playstyle.

 

[MechaWave]

Yeah, people were just still skeptical if Luma was AI controlled or not.

I'm not sure. Her B moves are clearly a Launch Star, the Star Pointer, summoning a Luma and her side-B has to be sending Luma forwards like Pikachu's Skull Bash. Luma also copies every single move Rosalina does no matter how far apart they are. She must be a complex character to use.

I think the Lumas colors are just random, they all seem to do the same thing.

Also, I should probably say, the thing where Rosalina just waves her wand while standing and Luma is far away is her jab attack, you can see the similar animation when Rosalina and Luma do this in the trailer where Mario and Luigi gang up on them. Luma's jab moves him forward unlike Rosalina's.

Maybe when the Luma is summoned, her B moves change? She's seems like such an interesting character, tbh I could speculate about her set all day.

Really though, Kirby Air Ride was decent at best.

I don't understand the fanboyism behind it at all.

 

[Hyruleslink]

Anyone else notice the url on Rosalina's page on the Smash site says Rosetta?

It's her Japanese name.
