Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - May 1st

[Smashboards]

Smash Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day. The menacing foe, Orne! It inflicts devastating damage--it's even more powerful than the Ultimate Chimera in the last game. RUNNN!!"

 

[LoneWolfRanger]

[TingleZC]

Odd, usually the Miiverse posts are up first.

 

[pickle962]

I take it this is a smash run pic?

 

[Drazile]

There is a comment on it. "Pic of the day. The menacing foe, Orne! It inflicts devastating damage--it's even more powerful than the Ultimate Chimera in the last game. RUNNN!!"

 

[FrostShock]

I take it this is a smash run pic?

Possibly. Or it could also be from the Reset Bomb Forest.

 

[Ragna22]

So what would happen if you ran into this guy with a starman? Would the universe give up on itself trying to fathom an instant kill enemy coming into contact with an invincable character?

 

[Time/SpaceMage]

THAT thing's stronger than "the kitty"?! Sweet Ceejus...

 

[Frostwraith]

The Orne... Those guys were a complete pain in Kid Icarus: Uprising...

Anyway, I'll leave this here.

I'm not saying Sakurai mentioned something from the Earthbound series..

But he mentioned something from the Earthbound series.

 

[Pokerhappy]

Looks like Smash Bros just got a lot more nightmare.

 

[SuperHyperMegaTurbo]

This means that its likely to inflict over 500 knockback.

Ouch.

 

[StarshipGroove]

Sakurai is tryin' pretty hard to pimp out Kid Icarus, is he not?

 

[samsparta21]

There's a LOT of rep from Kid Icarus Uprising. More than I would think should be there if there's only Pit. Palutena confirmed Anyway, Orne was a one-hit kill in KI-U, so not surprising that it's powerful.

 

[KMAL]

Possibly. Or it could also be from the Reset Bomb Forest.

I had the same thought. The color and texture scheme is about right.

 

[KMAL]

I take it this is a smash run pic?

It possibly could be, it seems to be close match from one scene from the smash run trailer where WFT enters a door. But I'm leaning towards Reset bomb factory.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I could only think up this after seeing the Orne's presence...

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

That's just creepy

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

"it's even more powerful than the Ultimate Chimera in the last game. "

Well, Fu-

Pit confirmed unplayable!!

 

[LF2K]

If Sakurai were Mario, the Orne would be Miiverse.

 

[Ruben]

Looks cool I guess. I just wants a release date pweas!

 

[CardiganBoy]

Not as scary as finding the Ultimate Chimera inside a bathroom in Mother 3.

 

[C_Mill24]

Oh gosh the Ornes. I wonder if the Orne music will play when it is on the field? That would be a nice touch.

 

[rikochet]

This thing will give children nightmares.

 

[PKNinja95]

I miss the Ultimate Chimera ;~;

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

The funny thing about this is that the Orne isn't the only instant killer out there, as the Charvaargh also instantly kills upon contact.

Spoiler

 

[Cancel]

For some reason i like the design on this head thing it looks pretty cool.

 

[Jigglymaster]

I bet its stronger in the fact that it always has its hitbox out whereas the Ultimate Chimera only hurt you when it opened its mouth.

 

[Ragna22]

"It's even more powerful than the Ultimate Chimera in the last game." How in god's name did you manage to achieve that? The Ultimate Chimera meant instant death the only way you'd ever survive is if the physics happen to work in your favor if it knocks you into the platforms so what does the Orne cause you to explode on the spot?

 

[Delzethin]

So everyone's already been over how the screen could either be from Smash Run or the Reset Bomb Forest. Personally...I'm kind of hoping it's the former.

From what we've seen of the Reset Bomb Forest, both sections are mid-size, meaning there'd be a lot less room to maneuver around the Orne than there was to avoid the Ultimate Chimera in New Pork City. Something like that could kill the stage's tournament viability (I know it doesn't have to be, but the more stages we can use competitively the better, right?). Smash Run has a gigantic area to run around, and dying would (as far as we can tell) only make you drop some of your powerups and have to rush back to them from wherever you respawn before an opponent can steal them.

 

[L9999]

How in the hell something can be more powerful than Ultimate Chimera?!

 

[bigbro2233]

Make Orne deal 999% damage. Just please, even more powerful than Tabuu.

 

[Oracle_Summon]

That thing was the bane of my existence in Uprising, and it returns? Mamamia.....

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Isn't it mathematically impossible to make something more powerful than Brawl's Ultimate Chimera?
If I remember correctly, it instantly caused 999% damage, and caused an insta-kill.
It doesn't make sense saying that something could cause more damage than death.

That's just creepy

If you hadn't kept telling yourself "Nintendo's for babies", you would've been prepared for this.

Your homework for tonight is to Google search 02.

Uh, I never said anything like that, I've said that Nintendo should stay child friendly, but I've never said Jim Henson founded Nintendo.
