Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - February 18th

[Smashboards]

Smash Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day. Hey look, a bottle!! This is a special item that can even heal fighters who have accumulated over 100% damage."

 

[Sonicguy726]

Stupid Bowser, That's not a sprixie either way this item looks so cool!

 

[IsmaR]

I just want to point out that the item probably won't replace Heart Containers, since Sakurai specifically pointed out the "over 100% damage" bit.

 

[TheReflexWonder]

The only thing I got from this post is "Bowser's dance taunt is back." Yesssss!

At least it doesn't bring you back to the stage upon death...

 

[Rizen]

Do bottled fairies get stockholm syndrome? Why would they heal the person who captured them?

Lol, inb4 a fishing lukitu item like in Mario Kart.

Especially the ones in wind waker, they look so sad when you capture them

I know he mentioned that this will heal even over 100%, but I still feel like the Heart Container might be gone just because I doubt he'd have two Zelda healing items, and the fairy kinda makes more sense anyway.

 

[TheReflexWonder]

I'm actually sad about their using a fairy as an even stronger healing item when it didn't heal all that much in the game (seven hearts out of a maximum of twenty?).

 

[Man Li Gi]

Ugh...

Spoiler

The heart does not look like it will leave us.

That was made very early in development so it could change at any time

good thing i dont use items

Unless they're adding fancy "grab items up off the floor" animations?

I suppose it could be something similar to the Assist Trophy pick-up animation.

The dance is more likely though, and would be preferable.

 

[Diana's Safe Landing]

This changes everything

 

[Ura]

Finally! Something I like about this game.

 

[CyberZixx]

That is cool.

So? It will probably return. By that assumption, my favorite character in the whole series may leave us: SANDBAG!

But Sandbag was confirmed in Little Mac's trailer.

I think the maxim tomato and heart container are staying. In Melee and Brawl maxim tomatoes heal 50% and heart containers heal 100%. The new bottle item heals "over 100% damage" so it sounds like it will heal all damage to 0% like the heart container did in Super Smash Bros 64.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Over 100? No, over 9000!

 

[Lord_Mountdrago4738]

Soooo.. Is this replacing the heart containers??

 

[Rizen]

For some reason this thread doesn't display a 'like' button on posts for me. What's the deal?

It's displaying for me.

I know that feeling. It disappointed me enough that the Maxim Tomato never healed a fighter completely. For stuff like items it seems history should override "balance".

 

[Rizen]

It's displaying for me.

I'm happy for you but for some reason this particular thread doesn't have a 'like' button by 'reply' like all the others for me. It's weird

 

[proxibomb]

I'd prefer this over the heart container, the fairy just seems right to me. They should make the fairy different colors, or variations of fairies. Have fairies be styled either pink from OoT, or the fairies from wind waker.

 

[Jet3000]

This is neat.

 

[MasterLuigi]

I wonder how the characters are going to heal themselves with it. Will they actually release the fairy and be healed by it or just eat the bottle with the fairy in it?

 

[CoolGuy847]

I hope this replaces the heart container. It would be really overpowered to have 2 items that heal 100% damage.

 

[CoolGuy847]

Maybe how they opened the Assist Trophy in Brawl MasterLuigi.

 

[proxibomb]

Yeah, agreed.

 

[CoolGuy847]

Yeah, agreed.

When I played with items on I didn't turn on the healing items. Its so annoying how CPUs run away just to get a heart or Maxim Tomato.

Often times, I usually have items off too. But when I'd train with CPUs, especially 2-3 level 8/9s on brawl or melee, they'd sometimes get to the item before me leaving me to have to beat them again, but with a high percentage. Regardless of what item gets in or not, I'm still happy to see some overall changes to items in general, and some additions are nice too.

Did you know there's a rules option called item switch? It lets you pick and choose particular items to show up?

 

[ITALIAN N1NJA]

I'm curious to know if there's an animation when you pick it up. When you'd hit "A" over the item, your character would take the cork off the bottle and the fairy would start spinning around you(you'd be able to move right after you uncork the bottle while the fairy spins around you). It'd be a nice touch.

 

[Raetah]

Say NO to fairies in bottles!
