I want something that has to do with Mega Man.

I don't care if he's in the ****ing background. I just wanna see him in another screenshot just so I know Sakurai didn't forget that he's in the game.

Too bad it seems Lucario is the big focus right now, and if it changes, it'll be Kid Icarus.

Not mega happy with that-icus.

I don't think we will have a pic of Lucario tomorrow XD
You naive little fool. ¦(

Also, Kirby Triple Deluxe has made me love Bandana Dee's cuteness more than I already do. Such an adorably happy and helpful little guy~ <3

It just pains me to see Link get the shaft in every smash bros game when he is such an important part of nintendo
Glad to see I'm not the only one, I want some change for link for sure. I wanted some new moves too, but most seem the same. I'm still crossing my fingers for a new side B, but I'm not hopeful. But it is weird we haven't seen it at all yet if there is no change.

If tomorrow (tonight) doesn't have Lucario in the picture, I won't post till there is news about Ridley.
For your sake, if tonight's picture has no Lucario, I hope that instead we get a reveal of Ridley as a stage hazard.

Unless Lucario starts out piss-weak, then all these Aura buffs give him an advantage over every other character. Better recovery also means the guy can jump all the way the **** off of the stage, gimp whatever recovery you were trying to use, then fly right back.

My hopes for balance are dwindling quickly.

Like I said before, this game seems to make it more difficult to survive with one stock for a long time. So, generally, especially considering Lucario being light, surviving a long time takes skill in and of itself.

I wonder if there is a limit to this and where that limit will be. It will be interesting to see how far he can fly at 200% or 999%.

Lucario will probably suffer from polarized matchups again. Characters that can kill or gimp him early will crush him and the other will be crushed under his immense power.

Lucario is very slightly heavier than average; I think he actually ties Mario in weight in Brawl (some people define that as midweight itself, but more characters are ligher than Mario than otherwise; if memory serves, the actual middle ranking in Brawl is a tie involving Ness). Likewise, in Brawl, aura caps at 170%, and a neutral aura is 70% damage. All of this could be tweaked for the new game, but this is the baseline.

These tweaks look powerful for Lucario, but I have to stress that there's no reason to believe they're broken. Every bit of footage we've seen so far suggests kill moves are very powerful in this game, more so than either Brawl or Melee. If that remains true and wasn't just an artifact of early development, that's really bad news for Lucario so these buffs may be designed to counter-act that. I suggested this earlier in this topic of course, but I figured I should iterate the point a bit more clearly. We don't know the full balance context of this game, but I'm inclined to trust Sakurai and certainly know that sometimes characters need to move ahead and grow stronger just to avoid losing ground. When that doesn't happen, you can easily get Brawl Captain Falcon (for those who don't know, Captain Falcon is overall probably the least changed character from Melee to Brawl), and we all know how badly that turned out.

^This. The E3 part sounds awesome!
I agree!!

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.
Remember his dair change they showed off?
