Is it just me or does Lucario's Aura Spheres look much larger than they were in Brawl (both strongest & weakest)?
Yes, it has been made larger. Just goes to show that balance has been one of Sakurai's bigger priorities this time.

Villager is going to be a threat with that giant ball of Aura in his pants.

I watched the superbowl.

I will say that because of the Broncos losing horribly, everyone is going to be bitter around my area. People take football way to seriously.
And we take Smash way too seriously... same difference. :awesome:

You don't see Smash fans breaking out in riots in the streets.

Now on the aura mechanic, I'm theorizing it may work somewhat similarly to Street Fighter 4's Ultra system, with a visible meter and usage. Perhaps only certain moves are only affected by Aura, but the result is that those select moves are more powerful.

So what your're saying is, Smash fans need to take it to the next level?

Also, I personally wouldn't get your hopes up for the aura mechanic have a meter of its own. Though it would be cool.

Y'know, Kuma, I'd like that.

But sadly, this is Sakurai we're talking about. He'd rather give some of these characters a facelift rather than a complete overhaul.

What about Bowser? He got a revamp. We'll have to see what he does with Ganondorf though. If he's still Capt. Ganondorf, THEN we take things to the next level.

We riot in the streets wearing masks like some cult.

On Lucario though, we still don't know exactly what's been done to make it a larger influence on Lucario's playstyle. If the combos we've seen in videos is any indication, the Brawl way simply will make it less prevalent in this game. Thus, I think we may see Aura built up and is transferred from inbetween stocks, like the super meter in Street Fighter in between rounds (but Ultra does not rollover).

I dunno, there's just some appeal to Falcondorf IMO.

My dong is expanded right now.

That's actually a good commercial. They even tell you the features of the game which the most recent WiiU commercials have failed to do. They have been all show and don't tell when they need both for a commercial.

If anyone's been keeping up with Killer Instinct 3, Spinal came out not too long ago. I don't have any of the current gen consoles, so I can't say how good it is, but it seems pretty cool. It's the only XBO title to peak my interest.

Heh, if I had a good bit of money on me, I'd probably get one of the new systems, then again, I do like to wait a while to get one anyway.

Speaking of Ganondorf, I think if they kept the same playstyle, but gave him a sword, that would already be a buff.

Imagine if his neutral A was, instead of being a slow punch, a stab of his sword done in a similar fashion. The damage and knockback dealt could be the same, but the fact that he has a sword would increase his attack range.

I'd really like to see Ganondorf revamped. He could keep some moves, even some "Capt. Ganon" moves, such as some kicks and such, but replacing his punches with sword stabs and slices would be nice.

This is all he needs.

I want Tropical Freeze even more now. Once it comes out, I'm getting it ASAP.

On the topic of Ganondorf, I wouldn't mind it if he was still a clone of Captain Falcon, but I'd be much more satisfied to see him use a sword (or maybe a trident) and more magic based attacks like Dead Man's Volley and a levitation ability for his recovery.

He should keep Flame Choke. That's actually a good move in some situations, and it's only similar to Raptor Boost in the way it starts up. I' want him to keep his F-air too since it has been completely different from Captain Falcon's F-air since Melee.

Finally, I'd rather he keep dat D-air.

Even if he still ends up using mostly physical attacks, the less of a Captain Falcon clone he is, the better. (in my opinion anyway)

Ganondorf needs his sword at this point, we know hes probably going to stick with his TP design, so theres no excuse. Sure some specials could be the same, but other than that he needs a revamp unlike any other, im just afraid its gonna be another one of those cases where sakurai sticks to tradition for traditions sake. Id also like to see a controllable ganon final smash, not the TP boar, but an update to his a link to the past pig form. That way we can still have a controllable monster, and in turn perhaps bowser can get a new final smash that doesnt have to be giga bowser.

Sword or Trident (Preferably Trident) would be be ideal for ganondorf in my opinion. Especially, if Ike doesn't make it back; a heavy hitting/long ranged weaponry fighter would be great for roster diversity.

Good afternoon all, hope you're all doing well. Well, since College has been busy these past few weeks, I've had almost no time to design any videos, but I finally pulled together some time and finally designed Takamaru:


And I must say Takamaru will probably never talk...ever. *Shudders*

Trident

I don't know why they give him the sword now.

The trident was suppose to be the weapon opposite of the master sword

I wonder what the SSB4 Facial Icons will be for the playable characters.

I say they completely rehaul Falcondorf, and if enough people complain, add in Black Shadow to take Falcondorf's moves.
So a clone from another clone?

Why must this occur around the Zelda franchise? :toonlink:

Regarding Ganondorf, my overall designs are to give him an overhaul, but don't spam the sword usage and give him more magic. Of course, certain things would be kept, like his standard A, up tilt, down aerial, side special and final smash, but the rest would be swords and magic, more magic than swords since he's always been known for magic and more recently with swords. Although, if I could, I'd give him Demise's sword...more a personal want than anything, maybe it's because it's so bad@$$ looking and is literally a dark master sword, but that's just me. Give me a moment, I'll pull out the moveset.

And the Ganon Punch. Can't forget that...

I agree that Ganondorf should have a mix of dark magic and swordplay. Keep his gameplay style of being slow, but powerful, as not to alienate Ganondorf players. Giving him a sword and magic could improve his range, which I think is something that he lacks.
