Retro_Link Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 So what if Pokemon is more popular? Mario is infinitely more popular than Fire Emblem, yet you don't find that franchise smothering SmashNo it just smothers the entire console.
Gizmo Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Ah c'mon, Pokeballs are the absolute staple item of the series. Gotta have some love for the Pokeballs.
Retro_Link Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Pokeballs are great, plus you can just turn them off if you want so I don't see the problem.
f00had Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 You have to be a terrible person to actively dislike Pokemon imo. I haven't really enjoyed a Pokemon game since Crystal but I always enjoy throwing a pokeball at my opponent's feet, apart from when Goldeen comes out...

I've haven't played any main Pokémon game since Blue (I hated it) and even I still enjoy the Pokéball item.

Yeah that's what I mean, you don't have to like the games to like the item. Do you think they'll ever swap Golden for Magikarp? It could be cool if he could splash and have a rare chance of suddenly evolving into Gyarados and using surf
-Dem0- Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 It's the last 10 seconds, you've got over 90% damage, and all your hope of winning the match comes down to a Pokeball. A Pokeball that contains this troll:

Serebii Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) What's up with this bomb? This looks like the stadium for the Home-run Contest, but there's no bat. Once you touch the bomb, it begins to count down. Give it enough damage and launch it at the right time…then once the bomb's countdown hits zero…!! ..It goes BOOOOOM! Not only will the blast destroy targets, but it'll also cause a chain reaction by using shattered walls and bomb blocks--all of which contributes to you getting a high score!! This is a new activity that combines the concepts of Target Smash and the Home-run Contest--it's called Target Blast! Your final score is the total you rack up over two rounds. Of course, your Target Blast scores contribute to your Global Smash Power, too. Edited August 1, 2014 by Serebii
Guy Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 There's a Pokemon in that screenshot. FREAKING SAKURAI AND HIS POKEHARD-ON. WHERE'S THE DIVERSITY?
Dcubed Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Oh finally! They're showing other game modes! Target Blast sounds fun
Goron_3 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Target blast sounds great but I really hope Break The Targets still exists! Unique levels for all characters please Did anyone else LOVE Home Run Contest? God damn. So addictive! I always it hardest to do well with Falcon Edit. HOLY BALLS that Link attempt is insane.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Yeah that's what I mean, you don't have to like the games to like the item. Do you think they'll ever swap Golden for Magikarp?

Dont understand why that Pokemon persistently gets let in! Margikarp is the no.1 'fail' Pokemon, and imagine the lovely surprise when, say, 30 secs after the Margikarp is flailing away and everyone has forgot about it - it violently evolves into Gyarados firing horizontal Hyper Beams.

Yeah I like all the mini games they have and multi man battle. For Captain Falcon and Ganondorf what I'd do with the sand bag is just jump and do their down + A stomp attack until time was almost running out then do a Falcon Punch to send the bag flying. I liked Break the Targets in the N64 and Melee Smash but not Brawl cause they only had 5 stages in that one I'd like it if they brought back character specific stages and BOARD THE PLATFORMS

I loved how they really tested your knowledge of the characters..in fact I remember Young Link's stage required the player to wall jump out of a box at the beginning! Look at that time..5.33s?!
RedShell Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Look at that time..5.33s?! Wowzers. That is nuts. :awesome: I was like "ha! he missed one"... oh.
Goron_3 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Wowzers. That is nuts. :awesome: I was like "ha! he missed one"... oh. The Link one is even more insane! Give it a quick google, think he does it in 3 seconds lol.
Glen-i Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 The Link one is even more insane! Give it a quick google, think he does it in 3 seconds lol. Do you mean this one? I had no idea you could use the hookshot after air dodging in Melee...
Goron_3 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Do you mean this one? I had no idea you could use the hookshot after air dodging in Melee... Yeah that's the one! Samus can use it after air dodging too It has to be within 30 frames of the air dodge starting though..otherwise you just fall to your death. Man the music in that game was so good!
arab_freak Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 Nintendo Exec Names Rayman as Playable Character For Smash Bros http://www.zeldainformer.com/news/nintendo-exec-names-rayman-as-playable-character-for-smash-bros#.U92Pr2NIrMg In the above video, right around 2:10, the Communications, Marketing, and Partnerships Director of Nintendo of Canada, Matt Ryan, mentioned Rayman after Pac-Man when he mentions newcomers. While this is by no means a confirmation of the character, between Sakurai's Miiverse tease and this mention, the idea of the limbless character joining the ranks of Smash Bros. is seeming less and less out of the question. For those who would like to see what Sakurai said when he posted the image, the original quote is below: "Pic of the day. In order to make Rayman's trophy, we asked Ubisoft to share their references. We were expecting to receive 2D drawing references for Rayman, but to our surprise, they sent us data of a brand new 3D model that they rendered for this game!! And that was how this trophy was created. It takes a lot of work creating each model, so it's wonderful that the creators contributed their own efforts!!" — Masahiro Sakurai With this new information, it now appears that Sakurai might have purposely stuck to his trademarked inconclusive language, as there is absolutely nothing in the quote regarding Rayman as a character or the use of other Ubisoft properties in the game. I'd love to see this. Personally, I think having third party characters adds to the appeal of the game, especially if you're a person who is unfamiliar with Nintendo characters. I'm the only Nintendo gamer among my friends, and the only game of Smash Brothers they ever enjoyed was Brawl since it had Sonic and Solid Snake. Everyone else, save for Mario and Luigi, were completely unrecognizable to them. Regardless of all that however, I think it's too good to be true. I remember the character roster was leaked ages ago by an unknown source who had named Pacman as a new-comer right before the E3 announcement. And since Rayman wasn't part of that leak, I doubt he'll make it on here. http://www.ssbwiki.com/Gematsu_leaks

I think he's distracted while trying to play the game and talk at the same time. I'd say he meant Megaman. None of the others even noticed what he said or pulled him up on it. I wouldn't mind Rayman but I don't think he's worthy enough and they're probably set on 3rd party characters. Any other announcement wouldn't rival the other reveals.
arab_freak Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 I think he's distracted while trying to play the game and talk at the same time. I'd say he meant Megaman. I thought so too, but I don't think it would make sense for him to talk about characters that the other people are already seeing on-screen in front of them (since Megaman was already selected by player 2). It would make more sense for him to describe characters that aren't on the roster they're selecting from, given that he started his sentence by mentioning Pac-Man, who isn't playable in any of the builds. Admittedly this guy's position might not qualify him to know developer secrets. Bill Trinnen himself said only a select few from treehouse were allowed to see the new characters and play the latest build, as the room they have set up for testing is literally a closet. But the only thing that gives me a glimmer of hope is that this guy is the head of partnerships at Nintendo Canada, so maybe that was what got him the info. Unless "partnerships" means a completely different thing than what I'm imagining.
