Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - August 14th

[Smashboards]

Super Smash Bros. for WiiU & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai said: "Pic of the day. Here's Beat! And Plant Barrier!! These are some of Mega Man's custom special moves. You might also be able to use some signature boss-like moves from the Mega Man series, too."

FAN SERVICE OP

 

[MaxTheDawg]

cant wait to see them all

 

[QuickLava]

Where's my Ganondorf Sakurai?

 

[JUr]

If there's a character with plenty of options for customization that is Megaman

Also, another early update o.o

 

[NekuShikazu]

I promised to myself that I wouldn't be using custom moves to avoid unbalanced gameplay. But screw that! Sakurai has blessed us!

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Before people get pissed remember sakurai never said he was going to reveal ganondorf today.Everyone including myself just assumed that.However if you thought we were going to get meta knight and then ganondorf.That's not logical.2 reveals back to back crazy and just unlikely.Maybe next week or the week after.

 

[Sol_Vent]

It's weird how Beat is extremely detailed and the Plant Barrier looks like it's made of construction paper.

 

[Masonomace]

Where are you Eddie!?

 

[pupNapoleon]

Gimme a Beat!

 

[Man Li Gi]

Plant Man. IS. BACK!

But Beat tho.

 

[mario123007]

Thought that the bird was an item.

 

[proxibomb]

Loving that Mega Man Color Scheme.

 

[ecylisis]

It happened It happened It happened

I don't see any reason to expect custom specials to be unbalanced. So far they've always been demonstrated to make trade-offs. The only question about specials is whether or not it is feasible to allow the customization during tournaments (due to timing), but I expect it to be pretty easy.

Custom moves for the win!

 

[EdgeTheLucas]

It's cool that characters other than Palutena and Mii are getting fleshed out alternate specials.

I say this because Beat could easily be substituted for Rush Coil, and the moves work nothing alike.

 

[RascalTheCharizard]

Still no Mega Man 9 attack yet... Hoping the custom moves will give us one.

 

[Nietendodude]

Galaxy Bomb Final Smash would like a word with you.

 

[RascalTheCharizard]

Galaxy Bomb Final Smash would like a word with you.

Eh, that's not the actual attack though, is it? It's just the trap for the quintuple laser, the only part anyone cares about.

 

[Ragna22]

Customize your Megaman. You see guys? Megaman Universe came back after all.

In all seriousness though, Search Snake from Megaman 3 should totally be one of his neutral specials.

 

[kaydon_esker]

Have to say I was a little worried when we saw DK's alternate standard B attack that custom moves would just be the regular move with a different effect - very happy to be proven wrong! ^_^

On a slightly random note, aside from Diddy Kong have there been many other characters that have revealed to coincide with a game's release? Otherwise I'm not sure why people were expecting Ganondorf today...

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

I missed that duck thingy since Marvel vs Capcom <3

 

[asia_catdog_blue]

Really, Sakurai? Plant Barrier? One of the WORST weapons in the series?

 

[Dustination]

Eh, that's not the actual attack though, is it? It's just the trap for the quintuple laser, the only part anyone cares about.

It's still MM9 though

Dedede, Zelda, and Toon Link were also announced on release dates of their games.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm going to be furious if Cut Man's blade is not a custom move

 

[JohannFKNFaust]

Gimme a Beat!

Sittin' in the movie show, thinkin' nasty thoughts, uh
Better be a gentleman or you'll turn me off, uh
That's right, let me tell you

Nasty, nasty boys, don't mean a thing, uh
Oh you nasty boys
Nasty, nasty boys, don't ever change, uh
Oh you nasty boys

Jkjk that was weird. Anyways, Beat's ****in BAMF

 

[Enigma14]

I'm going to be furious if Cut Man's blade is not a custom move

But its not as directional and have the same properties as the Metal Blade. Shadowman's blades as a custom move is more likely to happen. I'd like to be proven wrong however.

Well there are 3 custom moves for each attack

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Hmm, I guess the Quick Boomerang and Shadow Blade are B
Hyper Bomb or Napalm Bomb side B, unless Napalm Bomb seems too insensitive.
Up B, maaaaaaaaaybe Rush Jet?
And I think we might get the Junk shield, would prefer Jewel Sattelite though

 

[SmashShadow]

There are 2 not 3.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

There are 2 not 3.

The original move, another move, and a third move

They all have 3

3 moves

 

[LIQUID12A]

I want Astro Crush...

I WANT ASTRO CRUSH FOR CUSTOM USE

and water balloon

 

[SmashShadow]

The original move, another move, and a third move

They all have 3

3 moves

3 moves =/= 3 custom moves

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

3 moves =/= 3 custom moves

It may be a default choice, but a choice is a form of customization

You can choose to customize with 3 different moves

Choosing the first option IS a customization

 

[Reila]

Such a great update. Mega Man 6 and Plant Man ftw! <3

 

[SmashShadow]

It may be a default choice, but a choice is a form of customization

I would agree with you if customization was present in all faucets of the game but there are already several modes where you cannot use them which destroys element of choice.

 

[Saikyoshi]

Beat is Mega Man's up special in Super Smash Flash 2.

Now nothing can convince me that Sakurai hasn't at least seen it.

 

[Tino]

Such awesomeness! Can't wait to see all of his other custom movesets. :D

 

[Demie Duken]

All I care about is that his Iron Man palette from MvC2 is a choice. (Doubtful but hopeful) If not then grey or green will be fine.
