What character attacks has Sakurai shown us? *Warning, alot of pictures* (EDIT: 8/10)

[behemoth]

Could that be a downwards dodge?

It could also be that Snake is performing his down A at the same time she's roundhousing.

 

[B01001101ownz]

nah thats probably just his running A or whatever it's called and just a good screen capture

Hey guys, check this one out: http://www.jeux-france.com/Webmasters/Images/51441520061124_133012_0_big.jpg

Look at Snake in that picture. Doesn't it look like he's blocking Zamus' kick while sweeping her? Does this mean Snake has a counter??

No that looks more like sidestepping... Which only means one thing:

Even though bubble shields may be gone, rolling and sidestepping will still be there.

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Looks like IGN got some exclusive pictures today (only 3 though). There is one of interest for this thread, too:

Looks like these guys are charging up their smashes. And this picture gives me more evidence for a theory I've had for a little while. Check out Link's stance in that picture. Now look at Link's stance in this one:

See that he is in the same stance, but much lower? I've also see him pull off his F smash in the video, and I coincidentally paused it on the frame where it flashes as he does the attack. His stance was much higher, like the first picture.

What I think is that the characters may be moving while charging their smashes. For example, Link holds his sword up high when you start to charge the attack, but he slowly goes down into a lower position the longer you hold it. Basically, it doesn't affect gameplay much (outside of letting other people know how long you've charged a smash for) but it is definitely aesthetically pleasing.

Of course, I could be wrong, and it is simply the angle that is making link look like he is lower. But I guess we wont know for awhile, eh?

 

[Fawriel]

Ooooh, that definitely makes sense. My first thought was that he's simply aiming higher or lower, but it would make a lot of sense for them to not just magically charge up by standing still, but to actually do something to make the move stronger.

And, looks like we got the start of Pit's Fsmash?

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Also something unusual I've noticed in this picture:

Kirby is hitting Wario upwards with his hammer. Although his hammer was in one of the movies and still looks to be horizontal... is there a new way to change directions of it?

 

[lonewolfe]

So Link's F-smash is the same? It just starts differently from the Melee one? That'd be cool.

 

[Zelda_Fan_]

Thanks for putting this all together. Very informative. Awesome job man!

 

[Phaazoid]

did anyone post any pics on page 5? because i still can't view it. would someone post them here?

 

[SubparSmashBrother]

Is that Zamus' down B on the third picture in today's update?

 

[Wreked]

That's probaly her neutral b. But I don't know why she is kneeling though.

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Zero Suit Samus: Credit goes to Deus for these pictures!

B attacks =

Down B "This ones a little hard to see but as she pauses in mid air for a second and then shoots down which means its probably one of her B moves instead of a regular aerial"

Neutral B? But Sakurai, you said no guns... And look at the clouds around her feet... Could this be a smash attack instead?


Ground A Attacks =

Down Tilt

Forward Tilt

Dash Attack


Air A Attacks =

Back A

Unknown This may be her normal Forward A, or this could be her Forward A after transforming her gun into a whip.


Smash Attacks =

Up Smash? May also be her up tilt.

 

[the grim lizard]

This is a good thread. I thought about making one of these a while back but never got around to it...

 

[Moon Monkey]

I think their taking out the traditional shield bubble and replacing it with a unique guard for each character

 

[Wreked]

But Sakurai, you said no guns... And look at the clouds around her feet... Could this be a smash attack instead?

I think he said no real guns. Like pistols and machine guns. But I think I snake has a bazooka though.

Edit: Yeah SamuraiPanda, you made a post showing Snake's bazooka or whatever it is.

 

[CORRUPTiON]

That would be interesting, but the first 2 pictures, I thought that they looked like they were charging their smashes. Don't know about the last picture though. It could potentially be a block, counter, or down air/down tilt. Who knows. Dx

 

[SamuraiPanda]

In the first 2 pictures, they ARE charging their smashes. And here is something interesting: In the trailers and screenshots before Melee was released, they never showed the bubble shield. Why? I dunno, maybe Sakurai thinks they look ugly or because they cover up the character that he's trying to show off.

Unless you see a new How to Play: Blocking update, the bubble shields STILL EXIST, Sakurai just doesn't want to show them.

 

[Phaazoid]

thnx guys, maybe you should do Ike after he gets more screenies.

Gonna have to agree with the whole shield thing, I'm sure they just took out the bubbles so you can actually see the characters in the screenshots. Everyone in melee makes a unique blocking stance when they put up their shield it's just hard to see since they've got a bubble covering them...

 

[Phaazoid]

5 or 6 new pics in the 1st and 3rd post of this thread, including Ike's d smash, and a lot more.

and more on gonintendo (or the same)

[Problem2]

What you claimed to be Fox's Forward throw looks like a Dash attack.

 

[RokkuManZer0]

Aye, it looks like a shoulder charge. I'd like to congratulate you on the thread. :D It inspired me to create one similar in another forum I frequent.

 

[Red_Maniac]

@ SamuraiPanda's Zamus moveset

Hmm... the "up smash" looks like Shiek's down smash in Melee...

 

[RokkuManZer0]

The height is very different, Shiek's is near the ground, Zamus' is a lot higher.

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Aw crap. This PT update is going to make this thread a living hell if he is in alot of screenshots :/

 

[Fawriel]

Don't worry, just leave those three fellas to me. For some reason I seem to be the most passionate debater about this update from what I saw, so I might as well take that duty upon myself.

 

[OnyxVulpine]

You've really got something here now, last time I checked it was a just a short list. Now its started to build up.

Goodjob everyone. Looks good to me.

 

[Pyroloserkid]

I love what's going on here, but it'd be ALOT easier to navigate if somewhere in the first post or on the first page, you can edit in what characters are on what page.

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Trust me, I wish I could put it in the first post/front page. But I can't :D

And I know this thread hasn't been given alot of love recently, but it fell pretty far back.

 

[Phaazoid]

well, now you can update link.

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Thanks for reminding me.

 

[chlor0form]

I'm lead to believe that Snake's bazooka to the floor is his down-tilt. I can imagine Wario's shffl'd bairs, a loller.

 

[Chepe]

One of Pikachu's moves in the first post is mistaken. Pikachu's supposed down tilt is actually his side tilt. Down tilt uses Pikachu's legs, while down tilt is a somewhat fast tail sweep while ducking...

 

[vesperview]

That seems right... I hope they add different moves to Falco and Ganondorf though.

 

[Chepe]

Oh, and for Pit, I believe his nair move is actually his uair, since he spins his blades above him kinda like a helicopter... Just my takes on them...

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Fixed it. And I think Pit's neutral air isn't his up air because there are alot of neutral air attacks in melee that involve spinning, and honestly, it doesn't seem like he's holding it high enough to be an up air.

But I could be wrong :D

 

[Masque]

Meta Knight and Pokémon Trainer's Special Attacks--all of the former's and most of the latter's--have been revealed. If you want, I could try to assemble some PT move ideas. PM me if you'd like. Great work, though!

 

[IllidR]

It looks like today in the Wario Ware stage update we actually got one of Ike's moves. It looks like it could be his F-air.

Looks as though the Mortal Draw from TP could be his FS. o_O If he spins around in the next pics and goes for the head, that's it.

That would kick @$$!

 

[Rx-]

Link's FS has already been revealed.....
