[AcesWild]

Pretty certain I'm gonna main Pac-man now

 

[SSBBDaisy]

Hi all, as usual working on the translations as we speak. Here are the first two, though:

Spoiler

I can't see them wahhhh

EDIT: NVM updated adobe flash. forgive me please.

 

[Hong]

Indeed. The translations for Pac-Man have been finished. You can find them below:

And the originals, untranslated:

Meta Knight is next. Added these to the OP for now.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

What's with 3rd parties and turning into balls? At least it's not 3/4 this time I guess.

Also the whole thing where all three of the third-party characters have trampolines for recoveries.

Actually it looks to be based on Sticker Star's version of Bowser's Castle.

That makes 2 locations used from Sticker Star. I hope they didn't ignore Paper Mario 64 and Super Paper Mario. That'd be an insult.

Let's remember this is a 3DS stage, so we might not get much other Paper Mario since they're for console.

 

[Big-Cat]

Palutena is Urien and now Pacman is Bridget.

 

[Ozyroth]

Oh I'm waiting for the Meta Knight info, this famitsu weekly is pure gold

^^ A locale from the home console game TTYD. It feels unfair if they were to just use one from one early Paper Mario game and take the rest out of Sticker Star, only for being the most recent entry (and a 3DS title). :/

 

[AnoA]

Big thanks to XKan for the translations!

I know that's from the console, but I don't think we'll get much Paper Mario console stuff.

 

[Aunt Jemima]

Waait, on Pac-Man's final smash, it says that when he eats them you can only see their eyes as they take knockback? So... are we going to see Bowser and Zero Suit Samus eyes flying all over the place when his Final Smash is used?

ew

Also, why did we get Meta Knight and not Kirbyyy

I WANT TO SEE CUSTOM KIRBY

Using my psychic powers, I predict Kirby will have ice breath as a replacement for his neutral B.

Here is Meta Knight's page : )

Phew, been working on these awhile, but glad people have use for them. Makes it worth it. There is one more page in this week's batch, I will upload it later on after a little bit of a break!

 

[Sol_Vent]

Pac Man's customizable down specials look really cool. The move as a whole is a really interesting way of controlling space. It's a bit weird even just thinking about how it'll play out. It's got some possibilities, man.

 

[ShredPix]

...Meta Knight can eat through shield now. 'Tis a grim time.

 

[TJ-Works]

T'is BUT a custom move!

You won't have to worry in standard matches. That is, if custom moves become banned.

Wow thanks man good job! Keep it up

 

[AnoA]

Great day for me though! lol JK I was hopping for something different.

 

[Aunt Jemima]

I feel like that description that they put about Meta-Knight not having a projectile just says that he's going to be a bit OP again, lol. I'm sure he won't, though, as Sakurai is well aware which characters are OP and which ones are not.

 

[☆Jazz☆]

We need Zelda's Customs next!

 

[SS-bros14]

We need Zelda's Customs next!

Screw Zelda's, MEGAMAN!

'Tis.

They won't be banned universally.

 

[Naglfarii]

'Tis.

They won't be banned universally.

Are you sure, they're not allowed online in even for fun matches much less for glory. That suggests they're less balanced or fair than items and stage hazards

 

[ParanoidDrone]

I think it's less a question of balance and more Sakurai wanting to avoid players being surprised by moves they didn't know existed. While there's certainly an argument to be had that the onus is on the player to familiarize themselves with their opponent, Sakurai is largely pushing Smash towards a more casual audience that, in all likelihood, won't be spending significant amounts of time trying to learn about and unlock all possible custom moves. (8 per character * 39 characters = 312, and that's only the revealed characters, Mii Fighters being counted separately.)

To put it another way, "With Anyone" online mode is the vanilla Smash 4 experience. Locally or with friends, you can agree to whatever rules you want so it's a non-issue.

 

[RascalTheCharizard]

Give the supporters an argument they haven't heard before.

 

[Naglfarii]

Ok but tournaments are pretty likely to ban characters custom moves other than maybe a few pre approved combinations that somehow improve game balance in their minds

 

[Naglfarii]

Btw who was the third character to get a famitsu page this week?

 

[ParanoidDrone]

There's always naysayers to every proposed change, but I got the impression that the community is largely in favor of custom moves for tournaments.

 

[Johnknight1]

We need Zelda's Customs next!

Screw Zelda's, MEGAMAN!

To heck with that, JUST REVEAL EVERY SPECIAL MOVE FOR EVERY REVEALED CHARACTER ON THE DOJO ALREADY on a new special Dojo section!!!

 

[Aninymouse]

They come in pairs, not triplets. Also, don't double-post.

 

[Johnknight1]

No, they're not on because there's already 4 special attacks to know.

4 special attacks x 52-60 characters = a lot of special attacks to remember.

And they are allowed on "with friends", which is all that matters.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Them being banned irl tournaments has really not been decided yet.

And probably won't til the game comes out and is out for a few months.

 

[☆Jazz☆]

Screw Zelda's, MEGAMAN!

Sakurai already showed some in the Potd. It's Zelda's time to shine!

 

[XKan]

Hey all, I finished it a little bit ago but didn't get a chance to upload it here, so here you go, the final page of this week's Famitsu batch:

Thank you so much for your hard work. I know everybody here appreciates this greatly :D

 

[SpaceJell0]

So wait, you're telling me that Meta Knight's FS will hit EVERYONE no matter what if he gets at least one guy in his cape?! Geez, I didn't think Sakurai would buff anything about Meta Knight We are still as clueless as ever about his Up B's functionality tho.

Paper Mario stage flips like a pop-up book? YES PLEASE!

Pretty sure it already did that.

 

[SpaceJell0]

Pretty sure it already did that.

Didn't Meta Knight's FS only hit the people he trapped and the people that got hit by the area of the slash?
