Characters are now color-coded when sent flying by who launched them. Interesting concept, but seems like it'd get annoying really fast.

Though that explains the multi-colored trails of smoke in the trailers....

what update?!
The Daily Dojo picture update every weekdays at 1:00 AM PST (like the old Brawl Dojo updates, but an hour later!).

Oh, look at that. I was actually kinda right.
I was also right about the laser-guided recovery... kinda sorta... almost! :teeth:
Link's new theme song is clearly Rocket Man.
Not gonna lie, I was playing that earlier today and making up awful lyrics to annoy my brother! :laugh:

I'm pretty sure it's based on which player sent you flying, not character color.

I mean, look at this.

Now I wonder what each character's COLOR will be...

Well, I guess Ridley will be purple.
Ridley's colors will be so big it will cover the whole screen, go off the screen, and cover the universe in purple.

More proof that Ridley is too big. That and we must defend our canon cannon because blind Big N fanboyism.

Sakurai: "Pic of the day. The impact-launch effect has been powered up. The assigned color makes it clear which player will get points in the event of a KO."

Guys.
It's by who sent them flying. Characters don't get individual colors; it's the player color. Samus was launched by the Player 1 character (Red) and Link was launched by the Player 4 character (Green).

This is done to show who is getting the KO point if the launch character is KOed.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

Instead of a color, Ridley will just be followed be a streak of words saying "Too Big"

Also I like how Sakurai is just subliminally telling us that bottom tier STAYS bottom tier.

Ridley is so big that his "color" crashes the game... assuming his size doesn't.

Sakurai:
Link and Samus
The original bottom tiers
Brawl bottom tier warriors.
Smash 3DS bottom tiers.
Smash WiiU below ground tier.
Sandbag confirmed as new bottom tier because Link and Samus are too low.

Link has a green trail.
Rupees are green.
Rupees last appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
Skyward Sword came out in 2011.
2 years before Prince George was boring.
Prince George was named are another George.
George is a character in The Chronicles of Narnia.
The Chronicles of Narnia was written in the same time period as Lord of the Rings.
The Lord of the Rings had Gandolf.
Gandolf was an inspiration for Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is in Star Wars.
Star Wars in 2013 was bought by Disney.
2013 is the key.
Disney also owns Marvel.
Marvel is releasing Thor in 2013.
Thor is inspired by Lord of the Rings.
Lord of the Rings is having a new movie come out this year.
This year is 2013.
2013 is the year Super Smash Bros. WiiU was first shown.
Super Smash Bros. WiiU is a video game on the WiiU.
The WiiU is white.
White like an iPod.
The Beatles made the White Album.
I have The Beatles on my iPod.
The Beatles were popular in the 60's.
The White Album was made in the 60's.
The 60's were followed by the 70's.
The 70's is when Pac-Man was made.
Pac-Man is the favorite character of Shigeru Miyamoto.
Shigeru Miyamoto helped Masahiro Sakurai become a developer.
2013.
3 minus 1 equals 2, which divided by 1 equals 2, which plus 0 equals 2.
The first (1) series Shigeru Miyamoto helped Masahiro Sakurai make was Kirby's Dreamland.
The second (2) series Shigeru Miyamoto helped Masahiro Sakurai make was Super Smash Bros.
3 minus 2 equals 1, which divided by 1 equals 1, which plus 0 equals 1.
The first game in the series was Super Smash Bros. for the N64.
Super Smash Bros. had characters.
One of the characters was Mario.
He is the first character.
You could play him in single-player modes.
There were single-player modes.
One of the single-player modes was Board the Platforms!
OH MY GOD GUYS!!!!
BOARD THE PLATFORMS CONFIRMED FOR SUPER SMASH BROTHERS WII U AND SUPER SMASH BROTHERS 3DS!!!!

My Smash Brother(s), the science just adds up.

Here, other theories lead to it.

My text is green.
Luigi wears green.
Green is a color.
Colors appear on the color wheel.
A wheel is a shape.
A shape is a thing.
A thing is hard to define.
Defining this is overrated.
Overrated is a word.
"Word" is a phrase used by hipsters.
Hipsters like going to lesser options to be more "unique."
People were hipsters by going to PlayStation All-Stars.
PlayStation All-Stars is like a bad copy of Street Fighter and Super Smash Bros.
Mega Man was in both Street Fighter and Super Smash Bros.-related games.
Super Smash Bros. features another playable character in all their games who wears all green.
That character who wears all green (and isn't Luigi) is named Link.
Link has a sword.
A sword is a weapon.
You attack with a weapon.
Something you don't do with a weapon is jump around.
You jump around a lot in platformers.
Super Mario Bros. is a platformer series.
Super Mario Bros. inspired Super Smash Bros., a fighting game series.
Super Smash Bros. has platforming modes.
One of those modes is literally "Board the Platforms."
OH MY GOD GUYS!!!
NOT JUST IS BOARD THE PLATFORMS CONFIRMED FOR SUPER SMASH BROS WII U AND SUPER SMASH BROS 3DS...

...but now, as MY SCIENCE HAS DISCOVERED...
...THAT BOARD THE PLATFORMS IS AN ITEM IN BOTH OF THOSE GAMES!!!...
...AND ON TOP OF THAT, BOARD THE PLATFORMS IS A STAGE IN BOTH THOSE GAMES!!!...
...AND ADDED TO THAT, BOARD THE PLATFORMS IS A GAME MODE IN BOTH OF THOSE GAMES!!!
...OH AND BOARD THE PLATFORMS CAN BE PLAYED ONLINE!!!...
broken!

...AND BOARD THE PLATFORMS IS ALSO AN ASSIST TROPHY CHARACTER!!!...
...AND YET BOARD THE PLATFORMS IS ALSO A POKEBALL POKEMON!!!...
...AND BOARD THE PLATFORMS IS ALSO THE SECRET FINAL BOSS IN THE GAME!!!...
broke again

...AND LIKE M. BISON, IT IS ALSO A PLAYABLE CHARACTER...
...M. BISON IS THUS CONFIRMED!!! YES! YES!
...WHICH MEANS THAT CAPTAIN FALCON IS CONFIRMED! "YES"! "YEEEEEAAAAHHHHHHAAAHHHHH!!!!"

Interesting change... Now the launch trails are colored depending on who launched them. I'd assume if a character is hit by a stage obstacle, the trail will be uncolored like the previous games.

Wait, so what if the CPU kills you? Just a drab gray line?

Wait....
If there's a Player one and player four...
Sakurai is playing with others. (Or himself, but I doubt that)
Oh how is love to be the person he's playing with.

I wonder if team battles would be effected somehow too. Maybe Red and Pink, Blue and.. Cyan, Green and... yellow-ish green.

EDIT: Oh wait, damn, there would have to be three huh. BLOOD RED, NAVY BLUE, AND FOREST GREEN THEN. Alternatively you could just put "dark" in front of each color.

According to Sakurai's quote the point of the colors is to make it clear who gets the point in the case of a KO, so for team battles team members might just have identical streaks(since they share kills).

Sakurai:
Link and Samus
The original bottom tiers
Brawl bottom tier warriors.
Smash 3DS bottom tiers.
Smash WiiU below ground tier.
Sandbag confirmed as new bottom tier because Link and Samus are too low.

It's saddening how true this is.

Also, Manly's prediction roster is THE SEX!

I gotta say though, those rocket trails are simply bedazzling.
