I don't think the Smash Ball is an item, but rather a default element in the gameplay mechanic. Sure, it probably appears randomly and out of the blue like all other items, but I can't really see it as an item... Perhaps the frequency with which it appears can be regulated though!

OH SNAP!!!​

Yea, the Smash Ball isn't listed in the item category...

So I wonder if all of those pansies who whine and take items out (seriously, WTF? They make the game so much fun!) will have a pity party if Smash Balls don't count as items.

Though I'm sure you'll be able to turn them off and change their frequency. I personally see them as items, myself--it's just that they're special items which have a different effect depending on which character uses them.

So now we've opened the gates to seeing Final Smashes and Special Moves in the blog. Wonder what'll be tomorrow...Maybe another Final Smash, perhaps? Pit's other two special moves? A new character? Who knows?
Crazy business, I love it.

 

[Legolastom]

Ok so all im saying is if they do reveal the other 2 special moves that would mean that each character has at least 4 pages of information 4 times... lets say 35 that would equal 140 days worth of updates on just these characters alone.

Anyways how exactly do we activate these FS then because it says that with Mario's you should try and activate it somewhere in a slightly floaty mid air position.So what, first of all you pick it and you you activate it whenever you want? and how will the ones that only target a certain character work?

Wednesday should be two returning characters...

and even though the "final Smash" entryl was listed under gameplay info, the blurb mentions that it's activated with a Smash Ball item

Hes correct you can see it here.

The Final Smash is a secret skill that can be performed but once…and only after obtaining an item called the Smash Ball, which is a precious item, indeed.

So I don't have to replace it after all.

 

[Legolastom]

I wonder if metaknights final smash involves the halberd in anyway and i think pits will be a volley of magic arrows or something.

 

[Sariku]

I could but I think that it shouldn't. For a more advanced discussion though on Final Smashes go here.

But I'll post mine real fast. I think Fox's should be a combonation of Fox Illusion, and his Gun. He starts using Fox Illusion to run around them at high speeds and all, while shooting him with his gun. Giving it the feel that they're are multiple people shooting him.

 

[Legolastom]

Actually i think his will involve arwings a bit like that thing he does with the d pad.

 

[Sariku]

I don't like Specials like that. It seems that if they need help, or assistance, then its not a real Special.

 

[Legolastom]

Yhea but fox is famous for his arwing skills and team leadership so you could say it does involve him.

 

[Sandy]

Maybe it wil be something like this when he does his Fire Fox move.

 

[Sariku]

Hey, whata ya know. FrankFly came up with his own posts....

Oh well, I'll get over it, but I'm still pissed.

 

[Legolastom]

Maybe it wil be something like this when he does his Fire Fox move.

Whats fox power level it's over 9000!! Over 9000!! over 9000!! over 9000!! over 9000!! over 9000!!

 

[Sariku]

Whats fox power level it's over 9000!! Over 9000!! over 9000!! over 9000!! over 9000!! over 9000!!

Calm.. down, lol.

Well,the Smash Ball really isn't undert he"item" category as of yet,but I believe that it is in the how to play section to simply inform us of a gameplay mechanic that has been implemented into the game.

It is possible that the Smash Ball could be part of the actual game engine,I'm sure that it can be turned on and off,such as you can turn the Power Shots off in Mario Power Tennis.

Its an official Item, thats why I havn't changed it. If you really pay attention when you read it on the official site, it clearly says its an item. Just cause they havn't put it in the item section doesn't mean its not an item. They mention the hammer, but its not in the item section, does that mean its not a item?

Even if it is an item or not,as long as you have the option to turn it on and off,i'm fine.

But if this was an item,it may be the only item I use for fun.^^

 

[Toasty!]

New Update!

We’ve included rapid-fire items like the Super Scope once again.

One of the so-called shooting items.

This time, though, you can walk and even jump while shooting these weapons!

Whoa! You can move forward and backward!

You can even shoot while jumping!

Freedom and ease of use have gotten a real upgrade.

This expansion also increases your possible strategies, so fire away!

 

[Sariku]

I was aware of that update, but you just made my job easier Toasty. Since you can see he posted the update, I won't update thread till tomorrow, as I'm gonna sleep... I stayed up all night for you guys, lol.

Night.

 

[Toasty!]

:D

I feel important.

 

[Pikabunz]

Isn't the super scope supposed to have a little scope on top of it?

 

[Legolastom]

In the last picture doesnt the ball he fired look like the sun setting?

 

[Destiny Smasher]

It does.

LOL.

I don't really remember about the scope...
But anyways, I'm psyched about all of this new item stuff we're learning.
I always play with items unless I'm in a tournament of some kind (or playing with some stiffhead who refuses to use them despite them clearly being meant to be used as part of the fun).

I'm a Smash purist--I believe that anything goes in the name of fun when playing Smash Bros., because that's what Smash Bros. was originally intended for: FUN.
You know, that thing people forget sometimes because they worry so much about how good they're doing.
Besides, using items effectively is part of being good at this game, too.

Regardless, being able to move while shooting items adds some new strat to the mix (so does being able to crawl, albeit not as much), and I'm very glad that they're really pushing to expand the game and not just add new physical stuff to it.

Do you think Short Hopping will make a return?

 

[Legolastom]

Hey destiny smasher have you ever played a four player match on final destination with just one item turned on (Like hammers, Green shells or freizies or whatever they are called) and the frequency on very high?

Well its very fun and hectic (Especially the green shells one).

 

[Phaazoid]

doesn't wario's shadow look like it is rainbow colored in the second pic?

 

[Sariku]

Agreed. I don't play much with Items either, mostly cause I think its cheap a Smash n00b is able to KO me with a bomb-omb that landed right next to him all by luck.

 

[Phaazoid]

for duels i turn items off, but for four players matches i love being hectic and crazy and if you can train yourself to be just as good with items on or off, then all the better

 

[Sariku]

Meh, I'm gonna keep Items off when I play, on Melee anyways... I'm gonna play quite a few matches with Brawl Items, but then probably turn them off.

 

[Legolastom]

They should make special effects when items collide like if someone charged a super scope fully and then shot it at you and you threw a bob-omb at it at the same time it would cause a massive explosion that would be cool!

 

[Sariku]

That would be cool, but I think that happens in Melee also... just no HUGE explosion, a small one.
-----------------------------------------
Complete Update on Todays Update.

 

[Samus1031]

that gooey bomb looks broken

 

[Sariku]

How does it look broken? It looks fine, and that'll be one of my fave items, its like, a motion sencer that sticks to you.

 

[Legolastom]

Seeing as the update today was about guns i thought it be my obligation to post this picture of link dodging a shot from fox's blaster!

 

[Sariku]

Lol, thats accually not that hard to do, though it looks like it.

 

[experiment111]

I usually put items to turn up the madness meter to 11. and so that my some of my friends hav an edge with things like hammers. exploding things can be annoying....but they can also be fun so im excited for new item stuff. I'd prefer it if sakurai focused more on characters for now though.

 

[Sariku]

Meh, he'll focus on characters during E3.

 

[Destiny Smasher]

Actually, one of my friends loves playing Pokemon Stadium with Pokeballs on very high.

It's totally crazy. COMPLETELY luck-based once you get once person who grabs the pokeballs...

It's more fun with 4 people, though.
And of course we've played crazy bob-omb sudden death matches. =D

Anyway, the Gooey Bomb doesn't look broken at all, how does it?
It's a more creative motion sensing mine...
Except it looks timed...and sticks to people.
I'm stoked about that item, though, it looks like hot stuff in free-for-all matches.

 

[Samochan]

I wonder if the Gooey bomb will change colors according to how much time is left till exploding, or will it make a ticking sound like a clock.
