Miiverse Daily Smash 4 Photos (Closed for its successor)

[Sehnsucht]

Usually comes out 1:30-2:00 AM EST.

I'm guessing a picture with Mario or Link in it!

It'll be out in just over two hours for me.

 

[RelaxAlax]

My Prediction: A picture of Rosalina, Lucario and Mario

"Their names all end in vowels!"

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Prediction: Generic picture of someone with Lucario punchin or kicking.

 

[Dairz]

When are we gatting a DK stage screen?

Hmm, possibly in one of Diddy's pics?

Some think the ruin-type stage with the wheel is a DKCR stage, but I don't see it. The way Mario leaps through the entire thing, and how nobody else is in sight gives me the impression its just a generic level from single player mode.

Boring picture again. Sakurai is building for thursday.

Maybe this will be an actual page in a few hours?

What?

Don't see it, besides it shouldn't even be out yet!

I wouldn't get your hopes up for Diddy before Thursday.

 

[soviet prince]

well hoping it an assist trophy, hoping we get a lot more variety then the last game

 

[Waluridleykryrool]

I know but there's always the off chance he could be revealed early, perhaps with a caption saying something about a topical freeze direct coming soon

 

[CrimsonDivine]

Off topic- Just wanted to say that I agree with every one of your character wants except DHD. You've got great taste

On topic- Betting we get another boring picture to reduce our hype to nothing so when Diddy's revealed tommorow at least we'll be somewhat excited.

I guess nobody here thinks he'll be a duo with Dixie if you're expecting his reveal.

Maybe for once, a newcomer won't be exclusive to a direct? It's not out of the realm of possibility. Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it can't.

 

[Waluridleykryrool]

I don't get why anyone thinks they will make the diddy-dixie combo, they already designed a moveset for stand alone diddy, why throw all that away?

It's not throwing it away, it's adding to it.

 

[N3ON]

I don't get why anyone thinks they will do that, they already designed a moveset for stand alone diddy, why throw all that away?

Sometimes things change. Getting Dixie doesn't necessarily mean Diddy's entire previous moveset will be scrapped, it probably wouldn't be; only tweaked.

Videos can be supported on the smash website and miiverse, so it's certainly possible.

oops, i actually meant LOLOLOLOL no way that could happen that's entirely out of the realm of possibility

I had a thread about it recently to gage people's opinions. Mods locked it. Mods are a bit lock happy on these boards it seems. Anyway, here's what I posted

My vote: After a long time of wanting Diddy alone, I've decided I want them together. If it is done right they should both be completely independent of each other, but let you switch between them at will. Why do I want this? First of all it would be unique, but also because it would make Diddy's forward special make sense. Instead of just leaping forward, Dixie would fling him. It would look a lot better, and Diddy could return the favor for Dixie's forward special. As for Diddy's Banana Toss, just let him keep it and assign the tag-in elsewhere. Everyone wins. If they could do this while still keeping the two characters separate (even their Final Smash) I welcome idea with open arms.

I don't get why would they need to throw away his moveset, should he be paired with Dixie?

Actually, I don't get why people are so negative about the idea?

Also no, I don't expect them to be paired, but I would sure love if Sakurai decided to make of them a "combo character".

 

[Waluridleykryrool]

Ok now i'm confused, could someone explain how they would work? the descriptions I've read vary and i can't tell if people want them to work more like ice climbers or Pokemon trainer.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

Sometimes things change. Getting Dixie doesn't necessarily mean Diddy's entire previous moveset will be scrapped, it probably wouldn't be; only tweaked.

Do Diddy's Rocketbarrel Barrage would summon Dixie out of thin air and tag them up?

If no moves are scrapped, then Diddy and Dixie would use the same moves one after the other and be no different than the Ice Climbers...

Whatever the scenario, I think some moves would have to be scrapped in order to implement the tag-team thing in a different way than just rehashing the Ice Climbers.

That said, I want Diddy to stay by himself, and have Dixie and Kiddy be a newcomer tag-team instead.

I would like them to work like Zelda/Shiek. Instead of transforming, Diddy would just change places with Dixie and vice-versa.

 

[Dairz]

I think the most common idea is you play as one of them, then push a button (I've seen downB and taunt) to switch between the two. The one you aren't playing as doesn't fight, and can't be hurt, presumably just walking closely in the background.

Then Sakurai is lying about newcomers having their own unique picture and video? o.o

 

[Dairz]

Nope, Sakurai could just have the video and picture on the Newcomers page... like he always does... except without the Nintendo Direct part..

 

[WIldBam]

I think they mean they'll still have the video posted on the site but without it ever being in a direct....Which would be dumb. Sure, announcing veterans can be done during regular updates, but a newcommer is meant to be a big news type of thing, so just dropping it on a random night when only a small portion of people are looking is dumb, while in a direct you have the majority of people all looking at the announcement at the same time.

 

[Deleted member]

If you want to be technical, Wii Fit Trainer was not revealed in a Direct.

 

[TrainerLITTLER]

My guess;

We may see Rosalina
Kid Icarus Wii U Stage
1 person will be preforming an attack.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Yeah I'm not understanding the marketing benefits of announcing a newcomer at 1 am.

 

[mygamecube]

Don't even know what to predict today, I'm just gonna wait and see.

 

[Sehnsucht]

Yeah I'm not understanding the marketing benefits of announcing a newcomer at 1 am.

Hype waits for no one.

 

[TrainerLITTLER]

Yeah I'm not understanding the marketing benefits of announcing a newcomer at 1 am.

1:30 AM for me = 3:30PM in Japan.

 

[Dairz]

Yeah I'm not understanding the marketing benefits of announcing a newcomer at 1 am.

Well, Sakurai could do the "fake-out" pic, and then reveal the newcomer at noon-ish.

(Didn't he do fake PoTDs for Luigi, Sonic, and Rosalina?)

 

[PLATINUM7]

Yes but there were Nintendo Directs on the same day.

True.

 

[Dairz]

Hm, I guess so. I don't agree with the "newcomers without directs" marketing strategy, I was just trying to give it some support. Its very clear that a better idea is to show characters during directs.

 

[WIldBam]

The time doesn't so much as them not focusing attention to it. Sure, we wait for posts, but most people are probably not looking at the site. Meanwhile if a Direct (or really any sort of event that Nintendo can make which could focus fans attention towards them in hopes of a newcomer) is the ideal solution compared to a random night newcommer announcement just being dumped out there.

It doesn't need to be a direct, but it needs something to indicate that something will go down and possibly have a newcomer so that the majority of fans will be paying attention at the same time. Sort of like how HBO made a trailer for the trailer of game of thrones. You want more people than the insane psychos that pointlessly stay up until 2am to be watching when these big hype building announcements go down.

I have to agree on that.

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

Prediction: A picture of Donkey Kong looking at the screen: "Where are my little buddies? Maybe I should watch the Nintendo Direct tomorrow.




...oh and there's a Nintendo Direct tomorrow"

Like E3.
