Miiverse Daily Smash 4 Photos (Closed for its successor)

Meh, I wasn't fully pleased wtih today's pic, but I wasn't expecting something huge either.

I am kind of glad to know a bit more about Rosalina at least.

 

[Thunderfang747]

The thing I am curious about is how in the trailer, Rosalina deflects Fludd yet sucks in all of the items. What constitutes as a projectile that gets deflected and what gets sucked in? Sakurai also says that weapons are disabled, does this just mean if say you threw a beam sword at her it wouldn't harm her on the way in? Or would items like bombs go back into their pre thrown state? Definitely will look forward to playing around with this move when the game comes out.

The Lack of Vaati is disconcerting, especially sine it would cover both the Triforce Saga(Link,Zelda,Gabon) and Four Swords Saga(Tink,Vaati).

As for today's pic? Either new AT or stage showcase.

Hehe....Gabondorf

Tangible items that you throw or hold will be brought in while non-tangible projectiles will be deflected I assume.

Well the reason I ask is that some tangible items she could suck in would actually harm her. Like as others have said, Snake's grenades or Link's bombs would theoretically blow up in her face. Maybe they would become duds or something based on Sakurai saying the weapons would be disabled? If not, I suppose it will just be something she will need to use wisely.

(I always miss these things...) Please remove

 

[FalKoopa]

That's one heck of a large caption.

Since I hope to main Rosalina, I hope this move can deflect projectiles as well.

Also Wii Remote confirmed to be usable for the game. /captainobvious

 

[lordvaati]

I'm calling it. This move is going to ha e some kind of ridiculous exploit that will make her top tier. The whole luma gimmick isn't enough to sway me to think she'll be any good. It looks like Lumas don't have a separate down b command.

Suddenly it's revealed to be like Magneto's Fatal Attraction and can pull enemies in from a distance.....

Oh, I just salivated at the thought of that.

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

I figured weapons being disabled meant that it could strip stuff like Beam Swords out of opponent's hands, but neutralizing explosives would certainly be a lot more useful.

Another big issue with this move is how long it seems to take to animate; I'm imagining trying to use it against Peach. Peach throws a turnip and moves in behind it. You use this move, block the turnip, and eat a Peach fair or dash attack to the face every time. The more I think about it, the more I'm certain this is going to be a very niche move if it doesn't have some kind of hitboxes, much like Ness's PSI Magnet for basically the same reasons.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

This.

I remember when "crappy pics" were ACTUALLY crappy pics.
But nah, just as before, people got spoiled.

I dunno, I wasn't expecting anything at all and this pic is still pretty boring.

We could already tell what the move did during the reveal trailer and it was pretty obvious that it was Down-B. Plus the picture itself looks dull and uninteresting.

Nothing to see here. Move along and get some sleep, folks.

I'm gonna get back to drawing and headbanging to music. =D

They've already shown it redirecting Mario's Fludd so yea it does the same with projectiles.

I salivated at your use of the word salivated.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

When did people forget about not getting newcomer info out of blue during the daily updates? This at least isn't another Luigi's nose or Miss Fit's butt, either.

Also merged accounts, thanks Falkoopa.

 

[FalKoopa]

I'm not sure if the water from FLUDD is technically a projectile.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

I'm not sure if the water from FLUDD is technically a projectile.

It is. It can be reflected and absorbed.

It's a projectile.

 

[IsmaR]

I'm not sure if the water from FLUDD is technically a projectile.

You can throw water at people. It's my projectile of choice for cats and misbehaved adolescents.

In the trailer someone (I think it was Marth) throws a pokeball at her when she does this move. The pokeball slows down and lands at her feet but without opening so I think it may stop the effects of thrown items.

 

[soviet prince]

retreaded info

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Well I think we knew Monday wouldn't have anything spectacular but what about the rest of the week?

 

[Xaltis]

It is. It can be reflected and absorbed.

It's a projectile.

Thank you.

 

[soviet prince]

if there is a direct this week maybe a newcomer, reveals have to be speeding up

 

[Xaltis]

Well I mean it IS usually a newcomer every month. Sometimes twice in 1 month like September and December. So it's actually staying the same right now.

 

[Lozjam]

Well Sakuri seems to be sharing an abundance of information. Perhaps the release date is closer than we thought... *puts on sunglasses*

 

[Blazer.]

Sakurai plz stop with these garb pics of the day.

 

[Krynxe]

So little appreciation in here. Especially when the last three pics before today's were all very interesting.

No other game developers do things like this for their fans, so I'm appreciative for anything. Besides, for every less-interesting thing they show, it means there's a higher probability of something new being shown next time.

Also: Yay no bullcrap motion controls!

 

[MSmariosonic]

ermagarhd...that's one heck of a hot blue star shaped cursor. *fap*

I agree 190%

 

[Neo Zero]

I gotta say, something I personally didn't notice but really find cool is how the cursor star from the Galaxy games is part of the move. Its little touches like this that show just how much care and detail goes into every character.

It even makes sense too, the cursor is basically grabbing all the items and moving them away from Rosalina.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I want to let everyone know one thing that they need to keep in mind if they're posting the screenshot of the day...

Please use a permanent link for all daily pic screenshots. The daily pic link (http://www.smashbros.com/update/images/daily.jpg) should not be used, as that link's image will change with every update. Because of this, this may leave some users confused if they're not around on certain days.

If you have Miiverse access, you can get an image's permanent link by checking the webpage's "Page Info".

 

[bloodbuzzed]

Dammit Sakurai! Out of the two princess-esque, matriarchal characters you've been (slightly) over-exposing lately, Rosalina is not the one we needed a down-special confirmation on to shut up Sheik nay-sayers!

 

[Big-Cat]

It was mentioned earlier, but I wonder if you can control Luma during the animation. Rosalina is busy, but that doesn't mean Luma can't go and counter attack.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

If you have to hold the special move button to keep the Star Barrier in tact, odds are, the actions that you can give to the Luma will just be limited to the standard attacks; you can't use any other specials.

 

[Zonderion]

It was mentioned earlier, but I wonder if you can control Luma during the animation. Rosalina is busy, but that doesn't mean Luma can't go and counter attack.

I really hope so. But it makes me wonder if this move is similar to Fox's shine where it will persist as long as you hold it, or more like Falco's Shine in Brawl where it only has an effect for a certain amount of frames before you can do something else.


edit: Ninja'd by a moderator...

 

[Big-Cat]

If you have to hold the special move button to keep the Star Barrier in tact, odds are, the actions that you can give to the Luma will just be limited to the standard attacks; you can't use any other specials.

That's assuming Luma even has specials. It IS possible, but you can easily say that having access to normals is plenty enough.

Now here's an interesting question regarding the Gravity Pull. Can it be used as an anti-gravity move to launch or even hold someone momentarily? Other projectile reflectors have had some additional property to them.

Speaking of which, Ness and Lucas need something done about PSI Magnet, but that's another topic.

 

[DraginHikari]

This is why we can't have nice things. The moment we get too many nice things people get upset when they starting getting something a little more medicore but not horrible.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Oh great down special magnetized the weapons toward here but disables them that's the first bad update for me anyway

 

[Protom]

Meh. Not bad, though nothing new.
(Goes back to playing pkmn X)

 

[Frostwraith]

The star cursor on the move is a neat detail. With Sakurai referring to shaking the Wii Remote, I'd assume this could be the same move as Mario uses in Galaxy, which also had an effect of drawing items near you, such as shells.

It seems the move is inspired by:
- The cursor that can grab Star Bits in Super Mario Galaxy
- The spinning move that could be used to attract items

So basically, Rosalina is using the spinning attack and the cursor at the same time. I wonder if this attack can deal physical damage, though. The spin attack could damage enemies originally, after all.

 

[RadRedi]

(Goes back to playing pkmn X)

I read this and saw "Pikmin X".

Sounds intense.

 

[CardiganBoy]

I like that move of Rosalina, and, who the hell didn't shake the Mario Galaxy star cursor like crazy? that's why Sakurai put that, and it's pretty clever.
