Important Xenopost:
For those lazy like me but like news and sources all the time on Smash
Here's hands-on from Smashboards
SmashBoards Hands-On
WAVEDASHAN is 100% removed, it's simply impossible to perform due to dodging no longer being controllable (it is now based on your momentum). Wavelanding and L-canceling are also out, apparently.
Bowser has been vastly improved. He's very powerful.
Fox and Peach have been nerfed (**** YEAH). Fox can triple short-hop laser, Peach's down smash is no longer broken.
Samus can no longer missile cancel. The Charged Beam is not that powerful.
Directional influence is even more effective.
Edge sweetspotting has been made ridiculously easy.
Sonic is hard to use, not as good as he seems to be.
Game speed and pace is overall slower than Melee. It's likely going to play VERY differently.
don't know what people know, but i just talked to Gimpy and some Oregon people on the phone who have been playing a Brawl demo setup for 1v1 with the classic controller, here's what they've said so far:
No wavedashing and no wavelanding
Airdodging is like how we predicted, just go with momentum,
Fox can SH triple laser.
Fox can jump out of shine, but it requires that you hold down and B, you can't let go or he'll go into a different animation, hold down and b and then jump.
Bowser is hardcore.
Claw is ridiculous
Bowser will probably be top tier
Up+B out of shield is same, just as powerful.
Samus has a dark suit red visor, Fusion suit, Sonic costumes are recolors of blue, Fox has a starwolf outfit. Diddy Kong has Dixie Kong outfit without the hair, Bowser has a golden costume, made out of gold.
Mario's fsmash is so slow,
Samus can't missile cancel, animation doesn't stop, hard to do though.
Bomb jumping is tough, hitting bombs not directly on top of them knocks you to the side.
If you die as zero suit, you stay as zero suit, you can't automatically be zero suit like changing from Zelda to Sheik at the beginning of a round.
Samus charged shot isn't strong, peach was shot with it fully charged at 87% didn't kill.
Can catch edge even if you're facing wrong way, edgehogging is easy. Edgehogging will be the new edgeguard of choice, characters ‘click’ to it.
Peach is nerfed.
Peach’s dsmash is nerfed, no range
Float canceling not sure
Peach seems heavier
Sonic, not as good as you expect
moves don't have much knockback, kind of 'loose',
all the new chars, he's least popular, hardest learning curve
Do an aerial that has forward momentum and when you land it’s almost the same as a waveland. Certain moves / aerials have less friction/traction,
DI is more pronounced, you can get out of stuff a lot easier, takes knockback easier, can survive until 150.
L-canceling is not in as far as we can tell.
How does the game feel: Feels slower, definitely, on classic, feels awkward, accidentally jump alot, can't SH on the wiimote, everyone is so floaty. Brawl plays really differently, it’s awkward for now because not used to it. Not a lot of lag for moves, maybe lag lowered for sake of demo.
What do I think?
Peach's Red Dress <- clickity click
I like her new voice and red dress.
It's my new favourite unless there's better.
Fox? SH Triple laser? Nastayyy
Slow f-smash Mario? It was bound to happen some time.
Weak charged beam Samus? Aw
Sonic, lol. That's all I have to say. "lol"
Peach nerfed. Totally fine with me, there will always be some other character ready to take the spotlight. Her float is so weird in that vid though. Though the female using Peach barely floated I believe.
Well, time to get ready for UTS.
