Miiverse Daily Smash 4 Photos (Closed for its successor)

[Fatmanonice]

Anyone else find it interesting that we have yet to see Ganondorf (the worst character in Brawl) and Metaknight (the best character in brawl)? Since not that many reveals have happened, it could easily be coincidence, but I'm hopeful that it means they have some nontrivial changes for balancing purposes, and maybe a kink or two is being worked out.

In a way, it feels like they're revealing things backwards than what they did with Brawl. Olimar was the last new starter in Brawl but the first revealed with SSB4. Luigi was the last Mario character shown with Brawl but he was the first for SSB4 after the initial trailer. Metaknight came before Dedede with Brawl, now it's the other way around. Toon Link was last, now he's first when it comes to Zelda characters. I wonder if this is intentional? It'd be cool if at E3 they redid the E3 06 Brawl trailer but with Snake, ZSS, Wario, and Metaknight from Brawl changing into their SSB4 forms and then 5 newcomers were introduced in a similar fashion to how they were in that first trailer.

I enjoy Sakurai showing off specials from the veterans and explaining the tweaks. I wouldn't mind another Lucario special showcase.

^This. The E3 part sounds awesome!

 

[Stenton]

Probably gonna be another picture of Lucario, Rosaluma or Toon Link.

Or Peach touching someone else.

 

[Protom]

I hope he could go into detail with others specials that were adjusted.(Pit, Link DDD?)

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I think it'll be something small but still kinda new.

 

[Lozjam]

I like all of the news we have been getting! I really wish Sakuri will explain how/if Link got buffed

 

[TumblrFamous]

I'd love to see a picture of Peach flirting with Lucario... just sayin'.

Oh no, it's worse than that...

 

[Superyoshiom]

This would be awesome. I want Lucario to have some more physical non-aura attacks.

Maybe power-up punch can adjusted aura instead of losing.

I'd like to see power up punch as well.

 

[KoRLumen]

bestia- *shot*

Yeah, Link is one of my biggest questions. Sakurai has to know that Link needs help.

Still, most of Link's changes are probably simple values, so I doubt it's the sort of stuff he'll mention in these pics.

It just pains me to see Link get the shaft in every smash bros game when he is such an important part of nintendo

Same here... The change to his Dair gives me hope that Sakurai is trying to give him things that he was lacking, but I hope it goes for more than just that relatively small change. Especially when better characters seem to be getting new things.

 

[OctiVick]

I suspect another Lucario pic in possibly the 3DS version of the game. I do wish we can see something that hasn't got a good amount of screen time, like possibly the new KI stage, Male WFT, more galaxy mechanics, the new items, another move for villager, etc.

I am hoping that links bow has amazing range at no charge, and it just goes faster/does more dame when you charge it, his boomerang either A. goes back to its original form with more damage, B. keep the gale effect and have it actually carry opponents in the air, or C. Get rid of the boomerang and replace it with something else, like the whip. His bombs are just fine, he needs more launch power overall, and more of a damage dealer if they keep him slow, also make his spin attack more powerful like in Melee.

I THINK I remember feeling like his bow shot of more impressively in the Developer Direct. But it's probably just wishful thinking.

 

[liets]

UGH i hope link gets buffed! i couldn't play as link worth crud in brawl, he ticked me off so much!

 

[Lozjam]

From what is seen in the nintendo direct links arrows are a lot faster, also it looks like his spin attack gives him more recovery than before, sooooooo maybe. I still can't believe Sakuri nerfed Link in Brawl, when he was just average in melee.

Link? Average?
Blasphemy!

 

[SSB4Dojo]

We have the Find Mii, Palutena's Temple and Smashville Docks as 3 stages I am waiting for more info on at least one of them. Also where is the Nintendog stage? Only been since the reveal of Smash 4 to of seen a pic of that stage, I really want to see what the dog in the background might do.

 

[kylexv]

Guessing a pokeball or AT tomorrow

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

I'm guessing Lucario.

 

[Lozjam]

Link? Average?
Blasphemy!

In melee link is average he is at spot 15 in the tier list which is almost right in the middle. It is the best he has ever been in a smash game (excluding project m).

 

[Lightosia]

I'm guessing we'll be back to Kid Icarus' images. No Lucario today.

And despite this, he's still beaten by his younger counterpart. What's with that?

In Smash Bros, Slower = Weaker.

Snake says hi.

I forgot about the fact we got one KI post every week since the Palutena leak. I guess I wouldn't mind getting one now.

 

[Kenith]

Snake says hi.

But he doesn't play like any other character. He has many projectiles that all function in unique ways. He's not slow because he takes forever to pull a punch. He's slow because he's strategic.

All the other movesets, the slower character fares worse.

What about Dedede?

I'm mostly referring to Melee.

Marth > Roy, C. Falcon > Ganondorf, Fox > Falco, etc.
Only Dr. Mario breaks this rule, and even then, his speed isn't that different, and his advantages aren't related to his speed, really.

Clones =/= slower characters.
What are you getting at?

I'm not sure what I'm talking about clearly, but whatever it is, it's not related to Miiverse.

Are you pushing for an answer? That's new.

I'm just saying, on average, slower versions fare worse, competitively. Especially in Melee.

Pushing for what answer? We both know the pic of the day is gonna be Lucario.

I meant in regards to what I didn't tell you. Whatever.

I'm actually not expecting a Lucario pic tomorrow. I may be a huge fan of Lucario, but it's getting old.

At the very least, someone else will be with him.
