NintenZone Social Thread: Shovel Knight Amiibo Hype Catastrophe (feat. Swamp)

[Deleted member]

Azura: as mentioned before, lance user and dancer, long range, dancing acts like a personal buff, can be extended to allies in doubles
Aegislash: Enough sword users, let's have an ACTUAL sword
Wonder-Red: Use of Unite Hand to make moves stronger totally not personal bias
Henry Fleming(Code Name STEAM): management of steam for long range attacks.

Machamp: Heavy powerhouse, specials are Superpower(Powerful but reduces damage received and given), Seismic Toss(Jumps upwards, command grab, knockback scales according to damage %), Knock Off(Damage is doubled if the opponent is holding an item while forcing it to be dropped), Counter(User still receives damage but grants super-armor, counters the first hitbox to connect with 2.0X its original power, all other hitbox that connect during the move will still damage it but won't force Machamp out of super armor)
Hold on, there's more:
Side-Smash: Brick Break, powerful shield damage.
Up-Smash: Sky-Uppercut, great vertical reach
Down-Smash: Knockback Growth is based on opponents' Weight

It's funny because I just made up Machamp's moveset

Actually, a better description for Wolf Link/Midna: Cooperative Shadow Magic and Feral Attacks.

I've also added Non-Combatant Support to describe Reporter's role.
Wrestler does the fighting. Reporter cheers him on and gives him the beat required for the rhythm boosts in strength.

That's exactly how I imagined they fight.
Do you think the reporter could function like Pokemon Trainer but actually on the stage?

Currently, she has the fact that we already have one avatar.
And Kamui only uses a sword in his/her base class anyways

@PushDustIn

.....something doesn't add up to the point that there may be a legitimate contradiction in what Sakurai said for once.
In today's article, you mentioned that Sakurai had said Robin had just been decided on August 20th of 2012.

In yesterday's article, translation in Sakurai's book in regards to the project proposal included the following:
"All fighters on the roster are decided from the beginning, along with themes to help bring out their unique attributes."
"Before deciding on the roster, I do some preliminary research on demand and popularity, but I don't make any changes once the project is in motion."

Since the "beginning" dates back to at least April 26th of 2012, that would mean Robin would have to have been proposed back then instead of Chrom, but Robin was said to be decided months later. Which would be a change while the project is in motion.

Is there something I've overlooked that would clear this up for me?

I think the solution to that was the suggestion made in the Chrom article that both he and Robin were planned from the beginning. August would've been when Sakurai fully committed to Robin and cut Chrom. Maybe they were between the two of them, or maybe they were planning both.


My personal theory is that if they were planning both, Sakurai wasn't opposed to 4 Fire Emblem characters on the roster to begin with, and that is why Lucina made sense to be the first clone to split off, not Dr. Mario. It could also explain why she has (at least) two unique animations that the other clones do not have. After starting work on her, they decided to make both Doc and Dark Pit into their own characters since they had differentiations.

 

[Thelimomon]

"Okay"

 

[Kenith]

Hm...
You know, the only reason I didn't actively support them is because I didn't know how to implement the Reporter...
Brb posting in the support thread (it's dead though isn't it?)

 

[ThePsychoWolf]

Is it August yet?

 

[Deleted member]

Is it August yet?

Is it 2016 yet?
Is it 12/04 yet?
Is it 09/24 yet?
Is it 09/11 yet?

 

[DMurr]

Is it August yet?

The better question is, have they announced a Nintendo Direct yet?

Maybe the next one will be when they show another character.

Yeah, it is.
I could request it be unlocked, though, I think.

 

[Kenith]

Yeah, it is.

Wait, it's actually locked? Ugh...
But it's the best RH character...

It makes me wonder why Chrom would even be on the project proposal in the first place if Sakurai couldn't find any unique theme for him....

So @PushDustIn just gave me the green light to produce an article you guys might like. I've never done a project this massive in scale before. So, it will take some time. I will say this though. This project will try to give a behind the scenes look at one of the most mysterious events to happen within' Smash's history. I'm definitely excited for this project, and hopefully you guys will enjoy the end result. Make sure to stay subscribed to sourcegaming.info for more information coming out soon about this project.
EDIT: Just to give you guys a time frame, I'm aiming it to begin it on Monday.

Let us hope.

 

[Deleted member]

It was locked when the game was released along with all the other threads.

It was never revived after DLC was announced due to me not requesting it to be so.

Is it Gematsu? I remember the article about Chrom said a Gematsu piece was coming soon.

I thought Dr. Mario has unique animations? His Dr. Tornado seems like it's different than Mario's d-air.

Oh, you'll give us money too? How nice of you!

 

[DMurr]

Well he did, supposedly. He had a moveset idea. Kind of what the fans were thinking - he'd be in between Ike and Marth. I would guess the reason we didn't get Chrom as an Ike alt/clone is because Chrom can't do Ike's version of Aether.

Though it does seem somewhat unfair since Alph doesn't use Olimar's ship.

finally, an article about ridley in the clouds

I haven't looked close enough, though I know Luigi has a similar animation also. It's completely possible. Just a guess/though on my part. I'll have to look at the game later.

Since you revealed my plan, you all get Bubble Money instead.

In fairness, Olimar doesn't use Olimar's ship anymore.
It was wrecked in Pikmin 3.

The trophy for End of Day implies that Olimar loans the Hocotate Ship to Alph in Smash, considering it shows both Olimar and Alph in the ship.

You mean animataion wise or skill-effect wise? Because

Chrom could have been playable WITH robin but wasnt. This displeases me greatly.

The wrestler is also easily my favorite Rhythm Heaven character but it's pretty much just from the many many edits. Of coursre I havent exactly played Rhythm heaven before.

Yeah, I honestly would have preferred having all three characters, alts or no, than having 2/3. Even if I like the two thirds we got way more.
I was introduced to Rhythm Heaven and Ringside through this:

Not ashamed to admit that at all.

If this is not in Hyrule Castle, I will explode.

I know, Chrom AND Robin would've been an amazing hype reveal.
