Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - September 4th

[CCTANK93]

I can't wait to play this mode. I can tell me and my friends are going to be playing this for a long time.

 

[XaviortheSavior]

Has it occurred to you people that Smash Run might be the mode that some people (like me) are most excited for? Quit your bellyachin'.

 

[murdokdracul]

The scenery reminds me of the Subspace Emissary.

Do I have to fix everything around here?

 

[Kink-Link5]

People have been asking since the game's dawn for Race to the Finish's return.

We get it and people complain about boring updates.

Pure horse ****.

 

[Xinc]

Ganon's gonna have a hard time.

 

[Gene]

So we get the Ice Climbers stage gimmick for Climb but with stage hazards? Looking forward to the chaos this will bring.

 

[liets]

Or Palutena or Shulk.

Excuse me? Why would you not pick Shulk any other time?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I do hope that you're able to choose the final match type, instead of always being stuck at random.

 

[Bedoop]

Amazon Jungle, or to the moon.

 

[ChooChoo]

This could ruin the potential of heavy, slow characters within the mode. Unless they are able to gather more bonuses faster than the likes of Sonic, Palutena and speed/jump mode Shulk, they'll have lost by default. It'd be great if you could set up the stipulation for the last match as long as all players agreed.

 

[DuckHuntFTW]

I thought it was a bit odd that sakurai said characters who fly higher. That sounds like a blatent tease.

 

[wingedarcher7]

I actually think this sounds like tons of fun, I'd love to do this in between matches with friends! Looking forward to Smash Run as much as the rest of the game =)

 

[Luigifan578]

Awesome the danger zones really are going to change up the battle!
Cause i know who would win the "run!" challenge every time without things in there way .......................................................

 

[okamifire]

Seems fun! With all of the character discussion, it's easy to overlook other fun things like Smash Run.

 

[RodNutTakin]

guess which final battles i'll be playing the most

[tomvoxx]

so has anyone noticed in the second picture, that blast on the left looks a lot like Ridley?

Ridley confirmed

 

[KenboCalrissian]

I thought it was a bit odd that sakurai said characters who fly higher. That sounds like a blatent tease.

He was probably referencing Pit, Charizard, Metaknight, Kirby, etc. Ridley's wings are too big for flight.

I hadn't really thought of the strategic aspect of Smash Run until now because I didn't realize how drastically different the end-games were going to be. Obviously, for something like "Run!" you would want to stay in an area where you could farm speed boosts, but that's not really possible since you don't know how it will end. This is a very good thing, in retrospect, because it ensures the entire Smash Run map will be viable rather than seeing all the players clustered in one area.

 

[Aguki90]

I was waitng for some debuff of these stages when other characters have the advantage of it. Ganondorf winning in climb, is possible because is soo slow have more control and others are flew away directly to the danger zone.

i don't know if these danger zones will differ from each run so that you'll never play the same run, but if they don't change, there's a big chance that you'll get better at those stages and eventually be best with Sonic for example... so then a ganondorf would never be able to win.

 

[FrostShock]

Come on people, Sakurai mentioned "danger zones" and I don't see a single Archer joke.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

 

[Blargg888]

"Geez I sure want to see another Smash Run pic this close to the Japanese launch of the 3DS version."

Said Blargg888

 

[Raetah]

Smash Run must be the name of the Smash 4 3DS version or something.

 

[RPGatWill]

Oh awesome! So now along with the normal smash which benefits arms and attack, you've got high launch smash which likely benefits defense, climb for jump, speed for run.

not only that, but it seems like certain smashes will work against types of collectibles. Reflect smash works against arms, and I've seen Mega smash which I think works against defense...

This mode is going to be flippin' awesome!

 

[A Lucky Person]

UR 2 SLOW

 

[Capybara Gaming]

This actually isn't that bad, ya'll. Ah'm really excited for Smash Run, and while this doesn't necessarily hype me, it's a fun little addition.

It's only about a week away from Japanese release. It's all gonna be filler 'til then, y'know.

 

[RoxburyGuy58]

 

[x-Ace-x]

Here we go again.

Wow I forgot about this game mode.

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

"OMG, who the hell cares?!"-Peter Griffin

OMG, then why do you post here??- Me

 

[Spinach Ops™]

Smash Run for your lives .

 

[noahk777]

GOTTA GO FAST



GOTTA GO SLOW

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

It really IS like City Trial.

And I love it. <3

 

[Terrazi Terrajin]

That's merely your opinion.

Ever.

 

[Shilvic]

I hope Sakurai continues to only update the Wii U version of smash once the 3ds version comes out in a bit over a week...

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I just had a thought. What if one the final events is a boss fight, and the four players must work together to defeat the boss before time runs out; this references City Trial's stadium event, VS. King Dedede. Whoever delivers the final blow on the boss is the winner, but if everyone is KO'd, or the timer expires, then the match will end in a draw.

 

[WinterShorts]

I sware Smash Run looks more like Kirby Air Ride with City Trial everytime a new pic about it comes up. Way to keep up the nostalgia Sakurai!

 

[gmanownyou]

Eh. Kinda boring PotD

 

[haydyn]

I hope sakurai will talk about at least one of the modes for the Wii u version because apart from skin swaps, he has not posted anything interesting about the Wii u.

 

[okamifire]

I hope sakurai will talk about at least one of the modes for the Wii u version because apart from skin swaps, he has not posted anything interesting about the Wii u.

The 3DS version is coming out in 8 days in Japan, and a month in the US. The Wii U one has a Holiday 2014 release (2 months+ from now), so it makes sense that they want to hype up the one releasing days from now. After September 13th or October 3rd I'd imagine all of the PotDs will be of the Wii U version.

 

[Jones534]

Looks be something fun.
