Weird shot

[Falco&Victory]

Look at this picture. Why is Link flying back as if he were air-dodging? It just looks weird to me. Either that or it is from a weird angle and mario dash is tilted differently.

Maybe if stamina mode returns when you die you go off the stage backwards. Just a thought.

 

[Hoodie]

Yeah, I was looking at this screen shot too, Looks weird =/

 

[WR3K]

hes just flying away

he could be rolling in air, flipping, or just in that "pain" position

 

[DarkEdge]

Hmm. The shot makes it look as if the game were 3D. I guess it's not ingame, so it may be a "staged" shot.

 

[Paranoid_Android]

Looks like Mario just hit him in the upper body (chest/head) and he's flying backwards.

 

[Gerakobittsu]

Maybe it's just the camera? Mario seems to be doing either his down+a or his down smash, and hit Link on his way back to the platform or something, I don't know... >_>

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

It IS in game, just and angled shot. Looks like a low knockback Dtilt.
Yes, the characters flip when hit. Get hit with an Electrode Pokémon in Melee and you'll see EXACTLY what I mean.

 

[P.Vanity]

Link's in the same posistion when he's gettin Utilt by mario in the screen shots showing what different dmg does.

 

[Johnknight1]

It looks wierd, and is probably taken from at a unusual angle (much like camera mode), but it could be a air-dodge. Nintendo could be hinting to us that aire-dodging is returning, and very likley and possibly Wavedashing=yae! I wonder what this could all mean, but it's a neat pic, and is very wierd, as well as very intresting. As mentioned by Falco&Victory, this could be the new look of stamina mode death, thus confirming it's return, but either if it increases stamina mods return, or helps the chances of WD and air-dodging's returns, I'm pretty happy with all this.

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

It is NOT an air dodge position. It is a HURT animation.
You can see the remnants of a hit flash if you look closely.
Hit flashes do NOT appear when an attack is dodged.

 

[WR3K]

mario swiped him from underneath, causing link to lift upwards chest first, likely to fall back down on his back

 

[Gerakobittsu]

^ Oh, yeah, I see it. Just look at Link closely, you'll see small portions with a slightly blue-ish/orange-ish glow instead of the normal coloring. It has to be either a Dtilt or a Dsmash on Mario's behalf, or at least that we know of from his old moveset.

 

[Falco&Victory]

Ah, I see it now. The animation still needs to be changed up a little IMO, though.

 

[MzNetta]

Its his d-tilt.

 

[Y34HDUD3!!!]

It's just that Mario is facing the camera. It's prolly one of the frames of his D tilt move.

 

[Phaazoid]

yea, he is just hurt

 

[Johnknight1]

It's just that Mario is facing the camera. It's prolly one of the frames of his D tilt move.

Waoh, lots of colors coming from Link. The camera is obviously something like camera mode, or simply tilted. Also note that it's probably Mario's Dtilt or Dsmash, and even though there are colors and random lights when characters are hit in SSBM and SSB64, but I suppose there is still a chance this is taken in stamina mode.

 

[Y34HDUD3!!!]

Idk if I'm correct, but...
Aren't the "Random colors" supposed to appear in a bubble like shape, and not coming from the hurt player's body?

 

[Stryks]

Its the Dtilt, take it from a mario user, also Im bettin it has more knockback, thus link is in the position...

 

[TakDragon7]

That is a bit weird. It looks like he's going off teh stage or something XD

 

[Eaode]

If that is his Dtilt, then he has another move fused with Doc from Melee, because Mario's disn't used to hit people behind him.

 

[keko_keko]

From the looks of the angle of the ledge, the stage path appears to go from top-left to bottom-right of the screenshot, and mario's just following through without his circular leg sweep and happened to be at about 90deg from link when taken making it look like link was knocked in the wrong direction. Yeh, so like some people said, just weird angle.

 

[HideousBeing]

Notice the statue of Palutena in the background! In the second trailer, this is a statue in the background, so this shows you that the camera appears to be rotated a bit to the right (so that it points the view more left). I agree, it seems that Mario has just done his d-tilt.

 

[Chidosengan]

Talking about weird shots, check this out...

Here we see Mario and Pikachu.... A normal shot.

This one we see Pikachu and Kirby, side-to-side. As you see, they are about the same size.

Now we compare Kirby to Pit. Pit is bigger than Kirby, so we can conclude that Pit is at least as big as Mario.

But now look at this....

Pit looks smaller than his other size in the other picture!

Why is that? Could his air-dodge involves him going to the background? Or are we now able to go to the background?

 

[Phaazoid]

i don't see what the argument is about, it is painfully obvious that it is his d-tilt
he is still partially doing it

 

[Adi]

You can't really tell pikachu's size relationship to Mario.

 

[The Mailman]

I think the screenshot is from the an odd angle and Mario is coming full circle in one of those spin slide kicks that he does. And Link is just flying off to the side. This one kind of confused me as well.

 

[Phaazoid]

pikachu is standing upright in one picture but not in the other

 

[Johnknight1]

Pit is leaning over, that is why he looks smaller, plus it looks like the screen is more focused on Mario Childosengan. Also Pit's legs are very long, so I am almost positive Pit will be larger than Mario.

 

[NES n00b]

I am more interested in the little specks that fly in the background when Mario is doing downtilt/dash attack. More details in game=yay.

 

[Kabyk-Greenmyst]

OK, if the stage is coming towards the camera, then Link is flying in the third dimension.

If the stage is going with Link, then Mario probably does a full body spin after his dash or whatever move that is, and this is a snapshot of his recovering animation after the actual attack.

Either way its weird.

 

[JesterBox]

Look at the blue "wooshes" coming of Link it almost looks as if hes being pushed down, yet his posture suggest he was hit from below, perhaps it an airdodge animation were Links down air Dodge involves diving into a backflip.

I think its just Marios Down smash

 

[Plomid]

could be just more depth in knock back animation which sounds cool.
