Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - August 12th

[Smashboards]

Super Smash Bros. for WiiU & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai said: "Pic of the day. If you manage to raise this Special Flag for long enough, an additional KO count will be added to your score in a time match, or you'll get an extra stock for a stock match. When this appears on the stage, the fight for the flag becomes a fierce battle of tactics, which makes things pretty interesting."

 

[Solbliminal]

Too stronk! Turn it off!

 

[JDavisR (NIX)]

This will be allowed in tournaments, I can feel it

 

[Warchamp7]

#BANNED LOL

 

[NekuShikazu]

With this item, I will lose more friends!

 

[LF2K]

A pic of the day before I went to bed? This is unusual.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

So there finally is a way to get a new stock

 

[Hokori]

Capture the Flag, huh? That 'S' is gonna stand for 'Salt' if it changes the outcome of any future Nintendo tournaments.

 

[Sobreviviente]

i would've like a green mushroom more...

 

[Dunk Master]

Never been a fan of healing items, but I guess its cool to have an item that gives you a new stock.

 

[extremechiton]

looks like gamexplain got thier item that gives extra lives.

 

[Vidiot825]

So be a fast character and run with it? Seems legit

Cool idea overall though for casual play

 

[Deleted member]

OH BOY!!! I am going to troll the living hell out of my friends with this item LOL.

 

[LancerStaff]

So the Galaga guys aren't a part of this item. Hm.

So two items for Namco, and zip for Capcom and Sega? Hope that changes soon.

 

[wafflini]

Odd idea here, but does this deconfirm coin matches? I know it had been their since I thiiiink the original (if not, then at least melee), and it has never really seen much popularity.

#COINMATCHDECONFIRM???

 

[Chris Sifniotis]

i would've like a green mushroom more...

You know, yeah. The S Flag seems a bit too esoteric, maybe time consuming as well.

 

[Gunla]

Move over, Smash Ball, there's a more important item in town now.

With CTF confirmed, what's next? Goal Posts to kick footballs in for extra lives and score?

 

[gamerjohn1991]

It's only a matter of time before he reveals the REAL PotD...

 

[KillerPanda4717]

So Sakurai, are we just supposed to ignore that stunt you pulled with Meta Knight yesterday? sigh Okay...

 

[Empyrean]

"When this appears on the stage, the fight for the flag becomes a fierce battle of tactics, which makes things pretty interesting."

Okay Sakurai.

 

[pupNapoleon]

There can only be one

Spoiler

 

[kirby_queen]

That Pikachu looks blissful.

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

Wow , this is really good! XD i'm liking it

 

[JUr]

Really? After the pic of yesterday comes this? Keep on trolling Sakurai....

Well, that flag is really powerful, I can already hear all the 'BANNED'...

 

[Young Marth]

It's only a matter of time before he reveals the REAL PotD...

What why.

 

[Nat Goméz]

Where is my real Metaknight...?

 

[pupNapoleon]

i would've like a green mushroom more...

You know, yeah. The S Flag seems a bit too esoteric, maybe time consuming as well.

Would you have preferred whatever item in Kid Icarus would function this way?

Yeah

I didn't think so.

 

[allison]

Whoa! This is *way* cooler than a Namco-only assist-trophy-style item like I expected.

 

[Sahfarry]

Are we gonna get any items from Sega and Capcom?

 

[SuperMario1]

That flag came from star fox assault

 

[gamerjohn1991]

What why.

Because yesterday's PotD was a hint!

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Pikachu face.XD it's so smug

 

[Brickbuild101]

Can't believe it took so long to get a 1-UP item. What happens if you use it with 99 stock?

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Are we gonna get any items from Sega and Capcom?

more than likely.We do have shadow and electeman as assist trophys so maybe

 

[Zink Imp]

That's neat.

 

[pupNapoleon]

I wonder what this means for future installments...
Seems to be a pretty powerful item to just not include in the next game.

If Namco is not here to stay, perhaps they would replace it with another item of similar personality. Or perhaps they would keep it, AND Pacman, as I would hope this indicates.

 

[Dj.D]

If that's how the S Flag works, then why in Pac-Man's trailer, are Pac-Man, Peach and Kirby all holding an S Flag at once?

 

[Turmalinium]

The Sonic players will be a pain when this item is enabled.

If Namco stuff doesn't return I can see this getting replaced by a 1-UP Mushroom

Your stocks roll over to 0
