Super Smash Bros. for Wii U / 3DS Info Thread - Risen from the dead by the psychic power of DLC

[Curious Villager]

Diagla confirmed as a Pokeball Pokemon. Also, through Sakurai's comment and the obviousness of its being a Pokeball Mon, Spear Pillar is basically deconfirmed from returning as a Past Stage.

You mean Palkia. Not Dialga.

But then again, Palkia being a Pokeball Pokemon probably means that Dialga will be one too since the two gen mascots are usually playing the same roles together as pokeball pokemon or stage hazards etc....

Haha, I realized my mistake after I posted it but never came back and corrected it. But at the very least the latter conjecture still holds either way.

 

[Dairz]

No confirmation or anything, but after comparing Lucario pics from this and Brawl, Aura Sphere looks bigger, which means bigger hitbox. Again, maybe I'm just mistaken.

Ok mother brain is a assist trophy

Does it accept ridleys chances of being playable i don't know

I don't really think it changes anything right now.

It hasn't even been confirmed if Pyrosphere will have hazards, although it seems likely that the rising acid/lava mechanic will return.

 

[Frostwraith]

The Home-Run Bat has been revealed, has a new design and looks powerful as ever. The item was added to the item list in the OP.

 

[WoapGang]

DKs eyes popping out while being hit by the HRB is ungodly humorous

 

[Goten21]

Great thread! Very helpfull, but there's smth wrong:
Sakurai ONLY confirmed there will be no cut scenes. That doesn't mean we won't get a SSE like adventure mode.

 

[Goten21]

Several characters have shown that feature!
The OP should add tha the chars have facial expressions now

Actually you got it backwards.

There won't be an SSE like Adventure/story mode.

Well, what I said was based on the source that was provided
But thanks for clearing it up

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Ok todays update is the home run bat returning

And its black now and the smash logo is on the tip

And the second picture shows it creates a sonic boom when you hit someone with it

 

[CrossoverMan]

Little Mac revealed!!!!

 

[Tailisu10]

I think it's safe to say that the Boxing Ring is a punch out stage.. unless there are still skeptics.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Little Mac hype!

 

[Marthmario]

DA MAC IS BACK!!! AND THIS TIME BETTER THAN EVER!!!

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

YEEEAA

 

[WoapGang]

If there was any doubt that I was gonna get this game it's all gone now. Little Mac has been confirmed ladies and gentlemen... BEST. SMASH. EVER.

 

[CrossoverMan]

I think Giga Mac might be a permanent transformation final smash, like Zero Suit Samus. He could just be a far slower, heavier but more powerful version of Little Mac.

 

[Chiroz]

I don't know if this qualifies for this thread or should be its own thread but...

It is clear that aerial movement is the same as Melees (thankfully).

What I mean is, momentum from a dash is retained when you jump into the air like it was in Melee (instead of characters having a dash speed and a separate air speed like in Brawl).

If you want a clear indication, look at when Little Mac charges in toward Megaman, he dashes, then short hops (also confirmed if it wasn't already) into an aerial dodge and then hits Megaman. (all while retaining the same speed, instead of vastly slowing down, like Sonic when he jumps in Brawl).

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Little Mac confirmed

 

[Boo Mansion]

"His biggest feature is his Power Meter. When this gets charged up, his standard special move changes! It turns into a one-hit-K.O. uppercut."

The fighting ring stage also seems to be Punch Out themed as opposed to being Smash themed now.

A 1 hit KO move, damn. Hopefully they balance that correctly.

Hate to say this, but I'm not sure that's a SH airdodge > aerial.. Looks more like 1 full move to me.
Also, man his roll goes farrr

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Also, you should add that a remix of the Punch Out!! Training theme is confirmed to appear in the game!

 

[Marthmario]

Hype. Now I wait to see if Falcon is actually back to his full glory...

 

[Marthmario]

I like the interface design.

 

[Frostwraith]

Oh yeah. Forgot that one.

It appears remixed too, as it's obviously not 8-bit chiptune.

Anyway, do you think Doc Louis's commentary will appear when playing as Little Mac?

 

[Fenrir VII]

God I hope not... But no, I doubt it.

 

[D-idara]

God I hope not... But no, I doubt it.

I'd love it to be codecs like Snake's.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Perhaps he only occasionally says something, like Wii Fit Trainer's fitness tips.

 

[CrossoverMan]

Has Samus got a grudge against Little Mac or something? Are they official rivals or something?

 

[Frostwraith]

Yeah. Well, it would be interesting if the Doc Louis's commentary during the trailer wasn't just for show.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Might want to point this out but the sandbag was in the trailer

Not positive due to not being in gameplay but does that confirmed the sandbag as a item

 

[Curious Villager]

Well one thing's for certain, it confirms that it's back though whether it's an item again or just a Home-Run contest exclusive object has yet to be officially confirmed I guess...

 

[DaDavid]

It looks based on the OP that character changes are listed here, so I wanted to point out the small one I noticed that Link's B Up appears to be less strictly horizontal in that clip where Mac hits him.

 

[Thirdkoopa]

Diagla confirmed as a Pokeball Pokemon. Also, through Sakurai's comment and the obviousness of its being a Pokeball Mon, Spear Pillar is basically deconfirmed from returning as a Past Stage.

but what about alfonzo

On a serious note, Lucario and Little Mac. I'm excited.

 

[Vintage Creep]

Eh, I hope not.

 

[Souless_shadow]

I think Giga Mac might be a permanent transformation final smash, like Zero Suit Samus. He could just be a far slower, heavier but more powerful version of Little Mac.

I really don't see that happening. Mostly because in the Punch Out game Giga Mac only lasted for a short time which is what I think is going to happen in Smash also.

 

[Time/SpaceMage]

Has Samus got a grudge against Little Mac or something? Are they official rivals or something?

For what it's worth, they were both in Nintendo comic series back in the day. (I'm still waiting for them to make a Captain N reference via an Event Match or something, now that we have Megaman, "Kid Icarus" and Mother Brain.)
