3 Kirby reps, 4 Fire Emblem reps, 20 Isaac reps, playable Castlevania AND a new Sonic rep

After Golden Sun, The Binding of, and Dead Space, you might be running a bit low on notable Isaac reps.

Woah. Isaac is the game now.

 

[DarkFalcon]

What about Bandana Dee?
Also I can tell you are trolling.

I was playing along with everyone else but I'm not trolling. I like Fire Emblem and don't have a care in the world for Kirby.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

But what if I need them for later?

I'll send one from my in-game over fam


WE SHARING WEAPONS NOW

 

[KMDP]

I'm happy YL is back... I'm just not happy that his model (and Chrom's) is clearly lower quality than the rest of the cast.

Yeah, I wanted Young Link back too.

Even though I use Toon Link and not Young Link.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Is Young Link's Model really that bad though? I know that Chrom's looks pretty rough but I didn't think Young Link's looked that bad. Am I just overlooking something?

So here's a topic that hasn't been brought up.

In Smash 4, Omega stages often took some neat liberties. They were all clearly based on the same place as the normal stage but were often a different part of it. For example, Onett's omega form takes place on the Drug Store and Pirate Ship's omega form takes place on one of the outposts.

Now, I'd like you to think about all the new stages and all of the stages that weren't in Smash 4. Do you see any unique locations where omega and battlefield forms could be?

I got one, I think that Saffron City's omega form could just be the helipad.

 

[Apollo500]

Even though I use Toon Link and not Young Link.

Toon Link is my favourite incarnation of Link in-universe, but to be honest his playstyle in Smash is a bit too floaty for me. I like Young Link's stockier build and more grounded movement, and he also represent two of my most nostalgic games of all time. He reminds me of when I was just a boy myself.

I think its going to be more difficult now that Omega and Battlefield forms now all share the same properties.

Omega Havenbow could be two big leaves touching tips, to make a flat platform.

Brinstar Depths Omega form is on Kraid's belly.

This image is just... troubling.

 

[Bionichute]

The main problem with Young Link's model is that he's just

Real Big

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

This image is just... troubling.

But that's just one image. In his gameplay video he looks stunning. He looks great.

Okay yeah, that's a good point.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Oh geez, the more you look at it, the worse it gets

 

[DarkFalcon]

Models aren't final. Odds are it'll look better by launch. How much better? Dunno. Could be minimal, could be a lot.

 

[Michaelrexx]

I think its going to be more difficult now that Omega and Battlefield forms now all share the same properties.

Oh no ): I just realized they may all just be somewhat basic looking platforms. Since they're all basically the same size. Unless that's not what he meant

 

[Apollo500]

But that's just one image. In his gameplay video he looks stunning. He looks great.

Okay yeah, that's a good point.

I certainly hope he looks better in motion while I'm playing the game. But the stills make him look very strange. He does look a bit better in the trailer, though it still bothers me a little how clay-like and artificial his hair looks.

 

[Zinith]

Brinstar Depths Omega form is on Kraid's belly.

That's disturbing...

 

[Noipoi]

Green Hill Zone's omega form could be the top of the spiral.
Rainbow Cruise could be the magic carpet.
Summit could be the plateau of an icy cliff.
Just spit balling some ideas here.

Fine by me. If every omega/battlefield version is the exact same, then that means more variety in backgrounds and music when watching competitive.

Oh yeah its absolutely a good thing, its just more of a problem when trying to think up creative ways they could do it lol

I imagine quite a bit of time was spent brainstorming how they could make every single Omega/Battlefield stage work and have identical geometry!

Say hello to your pokefloats Omega form

10/10 you just won the internet


I think I can see Fourside being covered by the UFO being flat

This image is just... troubling.

The more I look at it, the more I see how bad YL's hair looks

Actually, there's a video floating around where its shown that the basic Battlefield's main platform has a hitbox that doesn't match its model. So they can deviate a lot as long as it basically fits within those measurements. Its kinda weird

I like to imagine six years ago Sakurai went to Gamefreak and said-
"Yo, i know i just got Greninja but in 6 years i'm making a Pokefloats 2 and i'm gonna try to make every stage viable, do me a solid?"
And Gamefreak replied with-
"we got u fam"
And thus Avalugg was born.

 

[Zinith]

Actually, I think there'd be more people who'd enjoy the "Kraid belly" stage than y'all would imagine...

Spoiler

Except me. I know stuff...

 

[Kotor]

I'd rather have 20 Fire Emblem characters than Isaac

You're very brave to say that here. I like it.

I seriously didn't need that thought.

 

[Icedragonadam]

I just realised that just a little over 50% of characters have a blog post now. Only 36 vets left!

Wonder what they'll use to fill the space left once they go through all the fighters.
new info maybe? Nah, that's ridiculous.

I know it’s just inanimate bits of code, but this post needs to die.

Take your bets on who the last character to be featured on the blog is...

Mine is

The grand return of 'You Must Recover!'

Because he was the last character revealed in the E-3 Direct

 

[vaanrose]

The main problem with Young Link's model is that he's just

Real Big

That image everyone always shares of the three links is deceptive. They're not that similar in height.

The issue isn't that Young Link is too big, it's that he's a completely different art style. Adult Link looks extra dainty because of his modern proportions, while Young Link looks big because of his 90s proportions. His head, feet and hands are larger than A Link's, even though he IS quite a bit smaller. That problem will never go away.

Whoa, that is an awesome picture. Here's hoping we can take the same picture with Skull Kid and Impa beside them soon! <3
