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

[ThunderSt0rm]

Now can it catch multiple items/attacks during the move's duration after you initiate it? Or only on startup?

 

[Dabuz]

It can catch an infinite amount of stuff during it's duration from what I can tell, the range on the pull is also massive.

How does Gravitational Pull affect opposing Lumas?

So an extended version of the Wii U box art has come out, and it features Rosalina and Luma:

Nintendo coincidentally puts Rosalina near DK, and this feeds the Expand Dong meme even more. Samus is still in charge of this box art, and I wished they used this full version over the smaller current one. Probably will not happen because the box is only so big that you have a limited amount of space to work in.

Wow, so how will they use this extended boxart?

Good question. Just tested and the opposing Luma was unaffected.

 

[ChikoLad]

Actually, regarding Rosalina dittos, I wonder if Gravitational Pull would work on the Star Bits of an enemy Luma (in regards to all three customs of that move)?

Any projectile can, but it is just tricky to do it.

 

[Claire Diviner]

Can confirm you can't GP final smashes, everything else is fair game though (except for Duck Hunt Dog's down B). Also when you DP an item, you become the "owner" for all intents and purposes (so like rob's gyro will hurt the rob, diddy will trip on his banana, ect.) but the item will be in front of you.

Diddy hard counter confirmed.

 

[Shirma Akayaku]

What a clusterf*ck of spin boosts. 2 Rosalina's, 3 Morton's, 1 Bowser, 1 DK, 1 Yoshi, and 4 Waluigi's ahead.

I wish I were in this race with Rosalina. Seems chaotically fun.

 

[ParanoidDrone]

How does Gravitational Pull interact with (Toon) Link's projectiles? If it works on just about anything like Villager's Pocket, then I would assume it sucks in the arrows and boomerang, but do bombs vanish or do they land on the ground?

Actually, if it follows similar rules as Pocket, what about Thunder? Villager's fsmash and tree? Robin's Thoron?

 

[ChikoLad]

Link's Bombs will actually explode in her face, as if you use it on any explosives, it pulls them to Rosalina and makes them explode. It's done to add some risk to attracting huge piles of items, so you have to make sure you aren't catching any explosives.

But some items deactivate when thrown at her. We saw in the trailer that Marth threw a Pokeball at her and then she used GP which slowed it down, dropping right next to her without the pokemon coming out. The sensor bomb, like almost any other bomb, can be GP'd when thrown, or (I might be wrong) GP'd before it activates on whatever surface it's on. The gooey bomb is probably going to act in a similar fashion to the sensor bomb.

 

[Xavier :D]

Man, that extended boxart is beautiful

 

[Laniv]

Wow, so how will they use this extended boxart?

Did someone say b-b-b-bundle!

Please Sakurai please

So looking at the discuss page on Rosalina & Luma, they've unfortunately decided that they'll wait till the US release to change the article title from Rosalina to Rosalina & Luma. I can't believe how ridiculous it is that they're waiting when all the evidence and facts are right in front of their noses. We've seen from the OFFICIAL FINAL BUILD of the of the game on Nintendo's Twitch stream that the final name is Rosalina & Luma.

I'm going over there right now to tell them. I can't take this anymore.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

What's quite ironic about Rosalina's name situation is that Olimar is simply called "Olimar", instead of "Pikmin & Olimar".

 

[Mataata]

Anyone know who voices Rosalina? I really liked her voice in 3D World, but from what I've heard of her she sounds more like MK7.

Kerri Kane is Rosalina's voice actor for Smash 3DS. It remains to be seen if Laura Faye Smith will be Rosalina's voice actor for Smash Wii U though.

They'll probably use the same sounds.

 

[ChikoLad]

Was there something in particular we were supposed to be looking for there?

Either way, great match.

EDIT: Here's a higher res version of that artwork I posted earlier:

 

[Shirma Akayaku]

All right, I did it. I managed to add my info about Rosalina's name situation. Now we wait. I feel a slightly disappointed in myself by the fact that it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I need to face problems head on more often if I wanna get something done. If a situation like this were to arise again, they seriously need to rethink their approach when dealing with it.

EDIT: FINALLY!!!! IT WORKED!!! Okay, now they are gonna edit it.
EDIT 2: Okay, looks like someone still opposes the change. They think there could be a last second change. I doubt it because they already recorded the announcer voice for Rosalina & Luma. I knew people would still oppose it. I know they're gonna end up making more work for themselves by waiting till October 3rd. It's so ridiculous. The Nintendo reps said it themselves that they are playing the FINAL RETAIL VERSION, and I don't see why they would change it at this time.

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

Always great to see Rosalina matches. I think the player used the forward smash a bit too much, but other then that a nice enough match.

EDIT: Here's a higher res version of that artwork I posted earlier:

Rosalina certainly looks nice in this picture. She looks graceful, like she is conducting the Luma. <3

 

[Gerpington]

she certainly looks like the kind of character I will love playing....and I enjoy Rosalina as a whole anyway, so I am rather excited to give her a shot.

 

[ParanoidDrone]

What's quite ironic about Rosalina's name situation is that Olimar is simply called "Olimar", instead of "Pikmin & Olimar".

It's probably meant to be a subtle reminder to the player that he controls both of them simultaneously. The Pikmin don't have quite the same relationship with Olimar.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I've probably taken one of my best close-up shots for Rosalina, in Mario Kart 8 today.

And I always like it whenever she smiles. It at least shows that she still likes to have fun.

Oh no you found out she likes to have fun. You'll be sentenced to the middle of a black hole for that.

 

[Starbound]

Does anyone know if Gravitational Pull works on Duck Hunt's cans?

 

[Brickbuild101]

So apparently there's someone named Alina Rose. ...Heheh.

Yeah, it is. But I won't mind actually, since Rosalina is the main foghter, but Luma can still count as a character.

Thanks for the new wallpaper! ;3

 

[ParanoidDrone]

I had a thought recently but I'm not entirely sure where to mention it so the general discussion thread seemed like the safest bet.

Do we know how Luma's moves interact with the stale moves queue? If Rosalina and Luma are separated and Luma gets, say, a utilt juggle going, is Rosalina's utilt also staled? Conversely, if Rosalina spams some move, is Luma's corresponding move affected? If a move is known to be stale, can we work around it by having the other character land the blow instead? Is Luma even affected by stale moves in the first place?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I came across some very nice looking Miiverse drawings of Rosalina that someone made.

Wow, even how strict that what kind of pictures that you can post on Miiverse these days, Rosalina's picture still looks gorgious.

 

[ChikoLad]

Just thought this was funny.

What's she saying?

 

[Gerpington]

Just thought this was funny.

"Miss is it true you are the daughter of our fair princess?"

"Uh....*tartus noise*"

"Where did she go?!"
