Rummy Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Ahh Sakurai you magnificent bastard Liking the beetle item! Can see it being quite a chucklesome annoyance.
-Dem0- Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 "Pic of the day. Both Link and Pit use bows, but when they fire simultaneously, their arrows meet and cancel out closer to Pit. Besides attack power and projectile speed, there are many elements that affect tactics, such as accuracy, vulnerability after attacking, and even seemingly unrelated features like a character's physical abilities."
Rummy Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 What? Cancel out closer to Pit?! His arrow was basically a superfast light arrow, no? How can it be slower than Links?! Unless there's a firing time/reaction involved...
Fused King Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Link's arrows are definitely much faster than the arrows of Pit. Go pop in Brawl again and see for yourself, a fully 'charged' shot from Link's bow is king.
Serebii Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) A character appears "The heroic Aura Pokémon, Lucario, joins the battle!! We've increased the influence of Aura this time, so a damaged Lucario is truly a force to be reckoned with. Lucario joined the battle for the first time in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which was released six years ago. The production staff of Brawl worked really hard to expand the character roster--without their efforts, Lucario probably never would have joined the battle." Edited January 31, 2014 by -Dem0- To add the description for those without Miiverse.
Blue Rogue Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Totally thought that Lucario was going to get cut. Had pretty much written him off. Wonder what this means in regards to other Pokemon characters...
Fused King Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 The problem is is that people think too much inside the box when it comes to characters getting cut, stages, etc... The thing is that we don't know what Sakurai is thinking regarding the new Smash and he might just rewrite some of the rules for Smash as well.
Serebii Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 If this isn't his final smash, I'll be a sad person.
Rummy Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Meh. Can take or leave Lucario tbh. Guess I'm kinda glad they've boosted his aura dealie, though - thought that was an interesting mechanic when I learnt of it.
Dcubed Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I honestly didn't think he'd make the cut. Guess that means that we'll probably only get the one new Pokemon character then (cause there's no way that Pokemon Trainer is coming back - waaayyy too much work; he takes up THREE character slots on his own! Still think it'll be Zoroark (although there's a decent chance that they might go for Mewtwo instead - nostalgia grab from the Melee players and he has a really obvious Final Smash, 2 in fact!)
Serebii Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Booo, I was hoping for the return of Mewtwo Nothing says that it has to be Lucario or Mewtwo
-Dem0- Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I'd rather have the Pokemon Trainer over the likes of Lucario/Mewtwo any day. Even though I liked them both (moreso Mewtwo), I still think the PT is the more interesting character and fits the whole Smash Bros. theme like a glove. If any Pokemon should be left out then Jigglypuff easily takes the prize, but alas Jiggly's a Smash Veteran and won't excluded.
Jonnas Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Well, this was the most unexpected return! Lucario was the Brawl fighter with the lowest chances of returning (along with Wolf, Ike and Snake). I hope he's more fun to use this time around. The Aura comment leaves me hopeful. And speaking of hope, I'm still rooting for Mewtwo's return. If this isn't his final smash, I'll be a sad person. It should be a new costume, at the very least. I honestly didn't think he'd make the cut.

I'll eat my hat if Pokémon Trainer doesn't return. He's the de facto protagonist of the Pokémon series, and the best representative of the games, even if Pikachu is the more famous face.

Would you rather have Pokemon Trainer or 2-3 brand new characters? Don't forget that they're making two games (one of which being a HD game) in less time that it took for them to make just Brawl. Something has to give (and not just Subspace Emissary)
f00had Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I would honestly rather have Pokemon Trainer instead of Lucario, he was rubbish in Brawl.
Ike Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Pokemon trainer can still be in it, why are people giving up because Lucario is in? They play completely different. I sorta expected Mewtwo due to the fact he got 2 mega Evolutions, he can still be in as long as they change his moveset to not be a clone. I think I preferred Lucario though.
Rummy Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I hope to see Pokemon trainer either way, but maybe if they do then with a different roster of three pokemon? Either a later iteration(maybe even an X/Y one?) or a rejig of the pokemons he has(so the original three but in different evolutions). I really enjoy characters like PT for the variety they bring to the table.
Jonnas Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Would you rather have Pokemon Trainer or 2-3 brand new characters? Even if we don't take into account the representation that PT Red himself brings: Ivysaur is the only true quadruped in SSB, and a damned good and original one at that. Squirtle is iconic, and the only water-based fighter (if only speed and water were better rewarded in Brawl). Charizard is even more iconic, probably the second most famous Pokémon, and one of the most popular. Also, a flying dragon. If those 3 brand new characters can replace this team, sure. I can only think of Ridley, but he's too big. Sakurai: [laughs]
Fused King Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I'm calling it now, there'll be a total of 6 Pokémon you can choose from when it comes to the Pokémon Trainer, but you can only take 3 into battle.

Genius, though it might hold up choosing? Maybe it'll be a random selection of 3 from the 6 instead. I'd like that! Edited January 31, 2014 by Rummy
Fused King Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Genius, thought it might hold up choosing Hmm, perhaps, but I can't see how you can't decide which Pokémon you'd like to fight with withint 30 sec. I take it you're talking about online, because offline I don't see how this could be an issue.

I'm talking generally, and it's because I know how crap some people can be at choosing characters! I suppose after you're used to the game it won't be much trouble; though I prefer the idea of a randomised selection anyway - just feels a bit more Smashlike. WE all random by habit now anyway, so it's not an issue for myself much, but if you like all 6 pokemon how do you make your choices? Maybe you wait til your friends have picked their characters? What if they're being a PT too and you wanna choose according to what they choose!? All things I probably wouldn't do, but I think some people would.
Jonnas Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Speaking of random, I hope we go back to Melee randomization. I mostly say this because I also play random, and there are characters I'd rather never get (Yoshi in Melee, Jigglypuff in Brawl, for example)
