SSB4 Final Presentation Discussion

[Fragger1198]

Hello everyone! So for those of you who didn't see the final video presentation, or even for those who did, here is pretty much a recap of what was announced. Enjoy!

So at the beginning of the video, it shows some Japanese anime from what seems to be a Fire Emblem game with people talking. Then there are two people who ask him (the camera shakily shifts around to represent where the character is looking) which side they should join, and two girls say something about him being their brother. Then it shows a body on its backside and three options appear: "Defend Hoshido" "Fight with Nohr" and "Refuse to choose a side". The RPG-style hand moves back and forth from the options, when a fourth option slides in saying, "Join the Battle in Smash". The hand moves over to it and selects it, then his splash message (message confirming them eg: "Greninja makes a Splash") saying, "Corrin chooses to Smash!" It then shows some game play with him with Sakurai giving us some information. Here is what he tells us about this character:

• He is indeed from Fire Emblem
• It hasn't been launched anywhere but in Japan yet
• There is also a female form
• He has two fighting styles: Using Omega Yato (chainsaw-looking blade) and since he has "dragon blood in him", he can transform all or parts of his body
• He changes his body parts into dragon form more than he uses his Omega Yato
• Standard special: Dragon Fang Shot. It charges and shoots out a projectile, similar to Hadouken, except it paralyzes them and can bite after it shoots
• Side special: Dragon Lunge. He jumps, and thrusts diagonally downward. If you hit an item with it (only crate is shown) you can move in the air while pushing the item. If you hit a foe, you pin them down. From there you can either use a front kick, back kick, jump, or cancel
• Up special: Dragon Ascent. You go either go upward, or to the side. This doesn't go very high, but it has a wide attack range.
• Down special: Counter Surge. A counter move. There are some visual differences from normal counters, but those don't really matter, and physical differences. It hits both sides and sends foes upward
• He will be released some time in February 2016 at $4.99

Another fighter announcement! So this one is pretty fast, it shows Pit winning, then BOOM! Bayonetta comes out of nowhere. As you can tell, I'm nowhere near as excited from Corrin compared to Bayonetta. Here is some info for her again:

• She is a combo fighter, and most of them are extremely complicated
• She seems to be a bit slow-moving
• After an attack, keep pressing the button to fire bullets, which don't make foes flinch
• She has her own stage (Umbra Clock Tower)
• Her smash attacks have big range
• Standard special: Bullet Climax. She shoots with feet/hand, shooting slightly upward. You can charge this
• Side special: Heel slide (ground). It slides you sideways and is good for counters. After Burner Kick (Air). If you hit them in the air, you can use another one. If you use it after pressing down, it moves you slightly downward
• Up special: Witch Twist. Moves you upward without putting you in a fall state, you can even attack right after without any delay. If you use witch twist without jumping, you can jump and use it again. So for example when you want to recover, do witch twist, jump, and witch twist again.
• Down special: Witch Time. Kind of a counter. You evade damage, and instead of dealing it back, you slow the opponent
• Same release date as Corrin
• She will cost $5.99

So, how did you react to the final presentation? I myself thought it was OK, but could be better. That's all for this time!


Cheers! - Fragger1198
