Miiverse Daily Smash 4 Photos (Closed for its successor)

[Swamp Sensei]

I like how short sighted people are being. Ridley's tail and claws are WHITE in Other M.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

haha. ok ok. For the sake of the mods, I'll leave this after this post, but I do want to point out a couple issues in previous posts before I go.



1. There is other blue lightning on that pic that is in the red shaded area, but is MUCH brighter, and seemingly more forefront than the purple.
2. Yes it is... rounded curve vs. jagged edge.
3. Could be a claw or a wing pretty easily... obviously you can't see much, so it's hard to orient, but the shapes match well enough, especially if the lighter end of it is actually connected.



On his own stage...riiiight. and there's nothing blue on the wall in other pictures.



See: lighting and reflection in video games. Also, there is a lighter area at the end that may be connected as a claw. hard to tell



Again, distance and depth perception make all the difference.... there's nothing to suggest he would stay on-plane with the players.



Don't even think I need to respond to this. Sakurai takes a cool picture, but sees Ridley is mostly obstructed and goes "good enough" is only one scenario...

The lightning effects doesn't only happen in the foreground, but also in the background. That's why some are brighter than others, we're in 3D space of course. Weren't you the one talking about depth perception?

It's hard to tell what "parts of Ridley" it is exactly because it's not Ridley, it's that simple. It's the very tip of a lightning, which is why it's curved, you can't see the snap of the effect otherwise because it's obscured in the launch effect.

Your call-outs that Ridley's stage = Ridley is a stage hazard no matter what is really nonesense, and I'm sure I don't need to explain why. It's a possibility, but in no way does it equal him being a stage hazard until proven otherwise.

I know my way around lightning, distance and depth perception in 3D, I've worked with setting up 3D scenes, which includes working with light too obviously.

Just try and take a look at what you're saying can hide behind Dedede's hammer in such limited space as there is around the Pyrosphere's main platform:

No matter what way you twist things, he can't hide behind Dedede's hammer. He can fly in the empty space, but that's just barely too, so you don't even need to have worked with 3D before to see that Ridley does not fit behind Dedede's hammer in such a limited space as there is all the way around Pyrosphere's main platform. It's just not possible.

Oh, and Sakurai just goes "good enough"? How professional...

I've completely cut it out for you now, and honestly, I really shouldn't need to.

EDIT:

Btw, here's a picture of Pyrosphere from above, you can clearly see the distance between the main platform and the walls:

No, he can't hide behind Dedede's hammer in such limited space unless scaled down, which completely defeats the purpose of making him a hazard.

Seeing this post and immediately before a picture of yellow clawed Ridley really tickled my funny bone

Spoiler

I'm still behind my star ko'd statement

 

[Baskerville]

The answer is obvious. I just wanted more Miss Fit Rule 34. ¦D

And I most certainly got my wish. ¦3

Fixed.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

Fixed.

That doesn't work since I never wanted such a thing. Never even knew who Miss Fit was until her reveal trailer. XD

THEN I wanted some of her. By that time I went to look, 30 images were already made. ¦D

It's yellow because of the lighting. Try official artwork.

 

[Muster]

It's yellow because of the lighting. Try official artwork.

the thing is, that lighting is from the pyrosphere stage. Which, coincidentally, is where the supposed photo of him is found.

There's no conclusive evidence that can be drawn from this picture, and people trying to sway one way or the other are really just grasping at straws.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

But the lighting in Smash is nowhere near that shade.

 

[Muster]

But the lighting in Smash is nowhere near that shade.

Assuming Ridley is there and as far in the backround as it seems, then he would be flying/falling/whatever the **** above lava, which most likely has different lighting than the nice hard ground beneath our favorite penguin and two random swordsman.

Spoiler

There's a picture with bowser, mario, and peach on peach's profile page that really shows the contrast between foreground and backround well, but i cannot retrieve it currently.

There's really no telling at this point, and everyone should just drop it.

 

[FalKoopa]

There's really no telling at this point, and everyone should just drop it.

To be honest, it IS kind of funny seeing people speculating the heck out of a seemingly insignificant pixel of purple colour on a daily picture. Sakurai is a genius.

 

[Disfunkshunal]

What nerds.

 

[Guilu]

But the lighting in Smash is nowhere near that shade.

I'd say it's the same effect as featured in this previous picture :

Only a few frames later.

 

[Fenrir VII]

Oh you keep pulling me back in.

The lightning effects doesn't only happen in the foreground, but also in the background. That's why some are brighter than others, we're in 3D space of course. Weren't you the one talking about depth perception?

The shape doesn't match that of any of the lightning shown (not even the tip of anything shown), and the color is not just a darker form of those that are already in the picture... so yeah.

It's hard to tell what "parts of Ridley" it is exactly because it's not Ridley, it's that simple. It's the very tip of a lightning, which is why it's curved, you can't see the snap of the effect otherwise because it's obscured in the launch effect.

Not even a similar curve to the other lightning...

Your call-outs that Ridley's stage = Ridley is a stage hazard no matter what is really nonesense, and I'm sure I don't need to explain why. It's a possibility, but in no way does it equal him being a stage hazard until proven otherwise.

I never made this statement, so no. I was responding to several different instances of "it's more likely ____ than Ridley" comments by saying, well it is his stage, so what exactly makes anything more likely?

I know my way around lightning, distance and depth perception in 3D, I've worked with setting up 3D scenes, which includes working with light too obviously.

Good for you!

Way to use 2 pictures from Other M, as opposed to using pictures from the actual game we are discussing. *facepalm

In Smash, Pyrosphere has more space between the platform and the walls... and the platform is a good amount larger than it was in Other M.

Also, you keep saying "hide behind DDD's hammer", when actually, the explosion effect covers a huge amount of space...

Oh, and Sakurai just goes "good enough"? How professional...

See: Luigi's Nose

To be honest, it IS kind of funny seeing people speculating the heck out of a seemingly insignificant pixel of purple colour on a daily picture. Sakurai is a genius.

In my defense, it's at least 2 pixels. : )

 

[DraginHikari]

... I wish I had something I could think to say for this but the amount of bizarre logic is leaving my mind kind of numb. I think I'll leave this one alone.

 

[MSmariosonic]

Why do I keep missing the awesome stuff!?

 

[MasterOfKnees]

... I wish I had something I could think to say for this but the amount of bizarre logic is leaving my mind kind of numb. I think I'll leave this one alone.

By the time a direct model port with few edits and Luigi's nose is being brought up as arguments I leave it too. There's no point in continuing, I could, but the arguments being brought up aren't worth it. Like Falkoopa said, it's two silly pixels that has lead to crazy overspeculation. We officially reached pre-Brawl levels of desperation, bravo.

 

[cephalopod17]

That purple blur isn't Ridley...It's Waluigi

Seriously, though it's nothing important.

 

[MopedOfJustice]

You lighting "experts" do realize that blue+red=purple, right?
There is a very transparent blue effect laid over a red background...

But Sakurai is definitely confirming a character.

Red and blue are at either half of the visible light spectrum, and intermingling of colors via lighting effects is shown

The colors of the visible light spectrum are (in summary): Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet

It's white in the middle, but blue by the edges, just like the lightnings you can see otherwise. It appears purple because it's under a transparent red effect

So yeah, but I'm not sure if it was listened to. But again, I don't intend on taking it any further anyways.

Btw, where is that sweet Wheelie design in your avatar from?

You. Just. Shattered my dreams for a clone-free ssb.

It's the concept art from Air Ride. They have one for all of them, but this one is both the best, and based off a Vespa.
And my comment against Ridley was mostly to make the Roy joke.

Edit: Thanks, by the way

 

[Protom]

Didn't already shatter it?

Toon Link didn't already do that for you?

Edit- ****, I am going blind. I didn't see Protom's post.

Already addressed this several times. Neither the shape nor the color of the area I pointed out matches the other lightning effects that are in the picture. The purple area is pretty clearly behind the red attack zone, as the changes in red effect the hue of the purple slightly.
The far left of the purple also seems to have a lighter spot at the tip, which doesn't make sense with the other lightning.

That edit went overly well with your somewhat-demotivated Vin Diesel avatar.

It was just a set up for the Roy thing, which seems to have flopped...
Edit: Not even Morbid liked it!

You really took me seriously with that first part?

lol not really, but I figured somebody else might, heh.

I liked it for you, because Roy

...So, any idea on tomorrow?

 

[Louie G.]

...So, any idea on tomorrow?

Ridlaaay.

 

[MopedOfJustice]

...So, any idea on tomorrow?

On Miiverse:

Tues: The main site isn't updating properly, but here's another fan favorite, Bandanna Waddle Dee! I know many of you wanted him in the game, so here he is!

Wednesday: When Dedede has a high level or damage, he has a chance of throwing out Bandanna Waddle Dee as a last line of defense! This one is much more resilient than the normal ones.

Thursday: Dedede's Down throw was a big problem in the last game, so we gave him a new one! As you can see here, he pins his opponent on the ground, and releases his pure-collagen lips into their true form as they cascade downward, drowning his enemy in a waterfall of toxic yellowness.

Friday: We received many complaints that Dedede's Final Smash reused old models, so we have a solution for that too! His new Final Smash summons every mini-boss that appeared in a Kirby game, who then attack everyone. Sadly, we still have several dozen mini-bosses to make, so we will be unable to add any more content in time for release.
Luckily for us, the Wii U has DLC capabilities, and we will offer each character and stage individually as soon as we make them for $5 each, and each mode (challenge, training and so forth) for $10!

 

[KiraYoshikage]

I know he's a newcomer and all but i don't think we will get the D all week.

 

[SmasherCat]

I consider toon link not a clone. He plays way differently than link. His physics and some attacks are different.

 

[PLATINUM7]

I consider toon link not a clone. He plays way differently than link. His physics and some attacks are different.

He's a semi-clone. Not a full on clone but 1/2 of his attacks are just taken from Link and made more cartoony.

 

[liets]

I'm going to deny one point in the ridley discussion, then leave it alone: star KO's just go to the middle of the screen, not down into the bottom.

MY TOMORROW PREDICTION:
i will give myself points for each of these points i get right
1: it will be on rainbow road
2: pikachu will be present
3: so will villager
4: and the D

^^^I somewhat agree with smashercat with the toon link thing, but don't you think incorporating the skull hammer and deku leaf would be better than what we currently have? Or give him ice and fire arrows. What i'm putting across here is that i want stuff that is fairly unique to his games in smash. Sorry to you PH or ST fans if i missed any cool items from those. All i know from those is the sand rod

 

[MSmariosonic]

I guess i'm one of few smashers who don't see Toon Link as a clone.

Eh, It was mostly a joke anyway. (mostly)

Spoiler

Ridley having an attack where he swoops down from the backround would be totally freaking awesome, though. (less awesome if he's a stage hazard)

Toon link is link's luigi, imo

 

[Substitution]

Sakurai secretly follows the forum , he realized we were getting to a conclusion about the Phantom but he wanted to have more fun , I don't see any other explanation .

But then... Who's Sakurai?

 

[MSmariosonic]

But then... Who's Sakurai?

Hello...

Hello...

...Guyz, I'm scared...

...Guyz, I'm scared...

don't show fear, just join me in creep-facing into making him uncomfortable so he leaves
