Social Mother of the Cosmos: Rosalina [General/Social] Thread (Closed)

[Crap-Zapper]

Yeah fate of Starfy might be at a concerning level because of Luma. But then again Luma is a worthy Star ~

 

[Alex Night]

Meh, Luma is more of a champ than Starfy. Did you see him in the ring? Now, I got another character to main in Smash 4 with Mario, Link, Sonic, and Mega Man. I'll be surprised if 2014 is the year of Rosalina.

 

[MagnesD3]

Yes, but honestly, if it was such a "staple" like people claim it is (you guys overuse that term, as if you don't know what it means), would you not buy a Smash game if there were no hidden characters=???

It's honestly not that big of a deal either way.

Quite frankly, I just want more of an excuse to not play the (historically) single-player modes immediately and to be able to play as who I want when I first get smash games. I only play single-player modes when I feel like it, which is maybe once every 20 or so times I play it.

its a staple but not a must have thing, It wouldnt be the end of the world but I would enjoy unlocking them like I did back in melee, twas good times...

Yeah I think it would be weird if Luigi was a starting character.

My best friend's waifu confirmed...he probably **** a massive brick...

 

[RyanR]

Do you guys think double jump cancels are going to be in smash 4?

I was thinking if Peach could do them, the maybe Rosalina could too.
(probably not though)

Considering Rosie is my waifu, this was me the entirety of yesterday

 

[Doopliss_Swe]

Tried writing this yesterday, but my internet died, so...

Don't know if anyone has put any more thought into this, but here's some noteworthy stuff about Rosalina based on what I could see in the trailer:

1: It seems she can summon Lumas. This would mean that she's not limited to 1 per life or something like that. However, it is possible that the trailer merely shows her teleporting the Luma back to her from far away.

2: The facts that Lumas come in different colors and they have a unique death-animation seems to support the "more-than-1-per-round" theory. It's possible they have different powers based on colors as well, similar to Olimar.

3: Looks like Lumas will do attacks corresponding to the attacks Rosalina does, but that she can alter their behaviour by sending them away from her or making them hit the other way (Side B is probably shooting the Luma forward). She also seems to have control over the lumas even if she's unable to act, like when she's grabbed.

4: Lumas cannot get grabbed, which furhter supports the fact that they're more like some kind of weapon or minion and not the Nana to Rosalina's Popo.

5: Lumas seem to enhance Rosalina's moves. What this means is that she doesn't need them to be able to attack, but rather, they give her better properties on her moves (Like her dsmash hitting on both sides), and are not required like Pikmins are for Olimar's moves to work.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I'm starting to wonder if Rosalina might be Smash 4's answer to Brawl's Meta Knight. I mean, with a Luma by her side, that would have to make it exceeding difficult for anyone to chain-grab her; the Luma apparently can't be grabbed.

 

[Claire Diviner]

My theory to the Lumas is that she is only able to summon one at a time. Each Luma has a certain threshold for the damage they take, and when they reach that damage, they disappear, giving Rosalina the ability to summon another Luma of a randomly chosen (or maybe in a set sequence) color. Doopliss_Swe's idea is pretty much everything I've been thinking as well.

 

[8-peacock-8]

I just realized this but.......................................ROSALINA IS A STAND USER! ROSALINA IS A STAND USER! ROSALINA IS A STAND USER!

Luma is represented by the tarot card (JJBA Part 3 logic) The Sun and her stand's special ability is gravity manipulation!

 

[RyanR]

I really hope that one of the lumas if not all of them can grab. (assuming different colors do different things)

but allowing all of them to grab might be op

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I still can't believe she's actually in.

I thought she had so little chances.

<333

 

[TopTierPichu]

That projectile reflector/pull in looks ridiculously good when playing a match with items, especially since that move doesn't even activate the projectile

Giolina Giovanna & Luma Experience.

 

[Doopliss_Swe]

ROSALINA IS A STAND USER!

I've been drawing this parallell as well, but in a more direct sense: She seems like she plays kinda like a mix of Olimar and a stand user in the JJBA fighting games.

 

[PlayerOneTyler]

Is it just me or is Rosalina quite larger than Peach? Like, I can't tell if she's bigger, or just closer to the screen. I know she's a heavier character in the Mario Kart series, so it would make sense.

 

[Autumn ♫]

I was on team Bowser Jr. She would be 2nd on my list.

No video?

I should have one later today if all goes well.

 

[TopTierPichu]

So I think all the different lumas have different properties.
Yellow is the average all around type
Red covers a larger distance in its attacks
Green has a higher durability
Silver has strongest attack
Blue(?) can grab
Each color having different abilities would be good

 

[RyanR]

Do you think it will work against projectiles like links bombs and his arrows??

 

[TopTierPichu]

it worked against FLUUD why not

 

[Doopliss_Swe]

Since it could move something like Mario's FLUDD shot, I don't see why not.

 

[8-peacock-8]

I have a feeling that "item" projectiles like Link's bombs and Peach's turnips would be drawn in while missiles and other non item projectiles would get blown away.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Anyone still holding out hope for a developer direct video about her?

Or do you think they might hold off and include in her in a later video once more newcomers are announced?

 

[RyanR]

I just hope that move has less lag then zeldas neutral b in brawl...

 

[Autumn ♫]

I think she may be a lightweight character, just to keep the balance in place.

 

[GreenKirby]

Still no subforum?

 

[8-peacock-8]

Dem site problems.

"PLEASE UNDERSTAND!"

 

[PixelPasta]

I may not be the first to point this out, but has anybody noticed that she doesn't seem to have a voice? The Luma does, but I don't think Rosalina herself ever made a noise in the trailer.
It might just be a temporary thing - I'd like to think that she'd be given a voice for the final version.

 

[Deleted member]

neoriceisgood made some pictures for Rosalina. Enjoy.

I think that Samus would have fit better with the space theme.
Or Pit because he flys. But no, we get the fitness trainer.

Edit: Did anybody else think of Peter Pan when seeing this picture?

I wished they had put Kirby somewhere in the picture. Wii Fit Trainer (and to a lesser extent, Fox) seem to stick out like a sore thumb.

There IS the possibility of the entire roster being available from the beginning.

That is what I have been saying since Toon Link's reveal. Why have all five Mario characters from the start if that is all we're getting? Better yet, why would Toon Link have been revealed if there were going to be unlockables? There is no way Toon Link is a starter unless the entire roster is made available from the start.

 

[BluePikmin11]

That would suck if the entire was available, I like being awarded. XD

 

[Zzuxon]

I too suspect that the vast majority of the roster, If not the entire roster, will be starter, based on Toon Link and Rosalina.

 

[RyanR]

That would suck if the entire was available, I like being awarded. XD

I personally wouldn't mind it if every thing was unlocked from the beginning. (I know it wont happen)
For me unlocking everything just seams like a chore.

It doesn't feel like a chore when you're actually having fun playing Smash Bros.

 

[RyanR]

I don't have fun with single player.

I only really enjoy fighting games in multiplayer.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

Well isn't the reason Sakurai got upset in the first place because the information got leaked to the internet before release?

It's just as viable that he's revealing characters so that they aren't spoilers later. I would be upset if there weren't any unlockables.

 

[Big-Cat]

Unlocking is a temporary thing in comparison to the high replay value that is the multiplayer. Not only that, but everyone will be leaking how to unlock them and everything. Why bother making it unlock able if it's just going to spread around the Internet?

I think the age of unlockable characters in a fighting game are on their way out.

 

[Ultinarok]

Is it just me or does Rosalina kind of look like a Zelda semi-clone? I mean the Lumas are unique but it seems like many of her attacks are similar to Zelda's, like Down Smash, Fair, Nair and Side Smash.

Yes she's taller than peach

No... look at her more in depth, there was a stream I watched posted earlier on this forum that broke down her moveset in extreme detail and she is no clone.
