Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - February 26th

[Smashboards]

Smash Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day. Now consecutive standard attacks will always transition into a finishing move. This is Fox's finishing kick after his standard combo attack."

 

[humist1]

No more A combo spam, great

 

[xXDarkRisingXx]

Hmmm interesting,

 

[Rizen]

InB4you'llgetakickoutofthispun

Maybe this is to stop characters from being pinned. InB4Dtiltspamwallpins

 

[Brim]

So - no more infinite-ish combos? I can dig it.

 

[Nikes]

For some reason I was expecting Sakurai to give us another Nintendogs pic, obviously disappointed.

 

[popsofctown]

There's several ways to interpret the text here..

My guess is that if you strike with a jab, your character will automatically perform the next step of your jab combo. If you miss or hit shield, I sure hope you can stop.

Overall I think this is a good thing. Jab cancel into X tended to be more about doing guaranteed stuff than chasing DI. We lose a little bit from stuff like Tink's jab cancel into grab or jab, which is pretty interesting, but stuff like jabbing with luigi and hoping the DI is bad so you can shoryuken is more cheesy than it is depthy.

 

[Ephecus]

I wonder how this change will affect characters like Meta Knight.

It's nice seeing a change though.

 

[Psymon]

No more head-spamming with Pika then...SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-

 

[Gardex]

I'm pretty sure it just means that when you end your attack-flurry(aka release a), your character will do a finishing move.

It doesn't mean that those flurries are gone, it just means they have finishers

 

[Ussi]

those finishers sound amazing because that was a problem with those multihit jabs was how they left you so vulnerable when using them.

 

[Empyrean]

We need more updates like this. I wonder how Falco's will be. Autoshine would be a nice finisher.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

This change sounds like it could have an impact on certain combo makers, such as Falco.

 

[Dr. Krumm]

No more jab cancels? Interesting, wonder how this will affect the characters which had a really good jab game in Brawl.

 

[Rickster]

So does this mean that all characters will have a 2-3 hit neutral attack (like Mario), the rapid attack ends with another attack to knock them away, or that there's no more jab canceling? Oh well. I least we got more fox info.

 

[Louie G.]

One step closer to a balanced Meta Knight.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

One possibility is that the characters who possess the infinite combo attacks will follow with a finishing attack once the infinite combo performs a certain number of attacks.

Perhaps once the infinite combo does 7 attacks, that's when the finishing attack will be executed.

 

[2ndComing]

Well, they aren't gone yet because if you go look at the Sonic Trailer, Pikachu still does the head spam thing (however it was glitch as hell) But that was way beta footage

We saw something like this in Mac's trailer. After jabbing for a while he finished the opponent off with a powerful punch.

 

[BlkSheep642]

those finishers sound amazing because that was a problem with those multihit jabs was how they left you so vulnerable when using them.

If the way that it works is, once you let go of jabbing, your character auto-finishes with a hard knockback, it'll leave you vulnerable anyways, because if they don't get caught in it, you're stuck there looking like an idiot waiting to finish which leaves you totally open

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Pretty much this. Perhaps the Little Mac trailer was implying something extra, but we didn't know about it until now.

 

[smashbroskilla]

Great new mechanic

 

[Jaedrik]

SUDDENLY
COMBOS
I CANNOT BE MORE HYPED

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

Pretty much this. Perhaps the Little Mac trailer was implying something extra, but we didn't know about it until now.

The NA translation didn't do much justice to what the update was trying to say. In the japanese one, it states that Fox's 100 kick attack ends with a finishing move. The flurries of attack are still there, but they will no longer be infinite. A clear example is shown in the Little Mac trailer.

 

[MugenLord]

I knew the Smash Brothers Casual Community out numbers the competitive community but man I see why this game is developed the way it is. I was just on the Mii Verse with my Wii U and I was looking at this post. No one on there cared about this mechanic whatsoever, I was expecting some feedback about it but all people care about what characters they want to see revealed. They literally called this post usless information.......

So yea, there is a big difference here and the mii-verse. This mechanic is well welcomed in my opinion, I think this mechanic goes for characters who has infinite attacks, like meta-knight rapid A, Kirby rapid A, Fox rapid A, Falco Rapid A, Shieks Rapid A, and Captain Falcon rapid A. I am not much of a hardcore pro like most of you here but I don't think this should effect Jab Cancel right? I could be wrong though.

I really hope they made some good changes to Link, I really want that guy to shine in this game. Mario, Link, and Sonic has been revealed so far. Little Mac will be added to my main's list, and all I am waiting for is Ness to be revealed and I am satisfied with whatever character they release afterwards except for Ridley -___-

 

[ITALIAN N1NJA]

I'm just crossing my fingers hoping there is no buffering in between the jab combos and other moves such as tilts and what not. That was so obnoxious in Brawl. You couldn't even make your combo because doing standard A would force you to continue the combo. I couldn't stand this because combos are fun and intuitive because in smash you create your own combos. It's one of the charms of the game. Simple, yet complex at the same time.

 

[Nguz95]

No more jab reset? That's no bueno.
Edit: I hope that's not what this means.

 

[SuperNova!]

Fox just kicked things up a notch.

 

[iHook]

I just hope there is an extra input for this finisher move. I don't really like the sound of auto-combo

Also, it says "consecutive standard attacks" which to me means that a single jab is not changed. Could be wrong I suppose.

Uh, are you joking? I just went on Miiverse, and the response is OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE!

Ah, I see. After reading the comments, I finally know what that means, and I agree. You're doing an awesome job! Keep it up!

Dan it means that his kick wont go on forever it will end after a while of using it.

This should make it easier to transition from rapid attacks like C. Falcon's jabs into tilts and smashes. Brilliant!

The fighting mechcanics are improved! That was genius Sakuria-sama! Wish Ninten, Classic Link, Goemon, and Yae who are on SSB4 Wiki to be confirmed.

I only took out three irrelevant comments from that whole bunch, two of which were talking about Wombo Combo.
How about the first, like, 50 or so posts?

Here I only removed 5 irrelevant/unintelligible posts.
Bro, you have to be joking.

 

[Pichu Guru]

Ah, no wonder Little Mac went straight into an uppercut after his multi-punch move seen in the trailer. I'll have to notify Game Xplain.

 

[The Original Robot boy]

Kick Backu!

 

[Sonicguy726]

Good I hate getting caught in those moves but I wonder will this apply to the fan aswell?

Yeah really, I could give less of a **** about Ridley. I DO want a new Pokemon character. Maybe Keldeo?

 

[Mr.Seven]

I'm glad that this is being added in. Finally! No more spam combos!

 

[Phan7om]

Wait lol, how are people assuming that you wont be able to jab-cancel or jab-reset... im sure every character will still be able to jab just one time, where it doesnt force you to Smash. I think he is just saying that it will be easier to transition in between them... sorta like jab-cancelling. If anything, this kinda confirms it.

I'm pretty sure it just means that when you end your attack-flurry(aka release a), your character will do a finishing move.

It doesn't mean that those flurries are gone, it just means they have finishers

I couldnt agree with this man more! Im sure the flurries will still be there, its why he showed Fox. Like I said before, its probably a lot like jab-cancelling where before the flurry happens you can smash out of it.
--
You guys are trying to confirm stuff that isnt even in the picture or the quote, just trying to sway things into the way you want them lol. Technically we can say anything now right? since for some reason we can think jab-cancelling is gone how about "OMG Sakurai!!!, This deconfirms tilts right?" lmao

 

[DrizzyDrew]

I like this change, getting caught in foxs kicks or pikachus headbutt was soo annoying. Love this change!

 

[smashbroskilla]

No more jab reset? That's no bueno.
Edit: I hope that's not what this means.

How did you get that?

 

[Zorc Of Norway]

I think we can see exactly what this means in the Little Mac announcment trailer @ 1 16 - 1 22, where he goes jab > jab, then jab with consequtive hits and ends it with an uppercut.

 

[BTmoney]

idk if this is good or bad
