Probably more like..
MULTIPLAYER MODE

You can pick up to 4 characters at the same time

Look at them flying

This is so exciting!

It'll happen eventually because it's a mode...

 

[gimz]

i know tomorrow's update

Kirby can transform to different forms!

then the next few days will be each different forms of Kirby

 

[FunkyMunkey]

Both models have improved a lot. The lighting and shading especially.

then the next few days will be each different forms of Kirby

Sounds fine to me!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Pikachu has creepy eyes.

 

[_Alkaline_]

Is he performing the same move in those two screens?

 

[jj984jj]

So I'm guessing he'll do Fox and Samus next for the veteran characters? I don't think we've heard about anybody else returning yet (although some are obvious I suppose, like DK).

 

[GaimeGuy]

Pikachu has creepy eyes.

No, jigglypuff has creepy eyes.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Is he performing the same move in those two screens?

nah, pretty sure the move on the left (The SSBM picture) picture is his neutral B move, while in the right picture (Brawl), it's his forward smash

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Is he performing the same move in those two screens?

Yes, sort of. Still the same neutral B move, but it looks like the Brawl pic has Pikachu in the air, which makes the attack looks more like an orb until it hits the ground.

 

[kamikaze]

then the next few days will be each different forms of Kirby

sounds good to me, too.

 

[ant1532]

So basically the rest character updates should be interesting. (2 more Veteran characters we know that are already in left to be shown but they imo should be more intriguing[Fox and Samus] and the rest are Newcomers)

:\

Well I thought both looked like his thunderball move, which I'm pretty sure is his neutral B move. It just that the top screen kinda looked like his thunder attack, but yeah, I think it's the thunderball thing.

If it is, I must say the particle and lighting effects for this move have improved heaps. It looks amazing in that image.

 

[rollingstart]

Jigglypuff is all around creepy, I mean, she puts you to sleep then messes around with you while you are knocked out.

 

[superbank]

This updates ok because we have lots of pictures.

Pikachu is improved but I'm not sure about Kirby. Kirby needs some more facial expressions. Mainly angry ones. How are they gonna sell this in the US?

I like this one:

One tiny nugget of new information (unless I'm drastically mistaken). Look very closely at the screenshot in which Kirby is using his sword (Up+B move). Particularly, concentrate on the background. That appears to be the area of Isle Delfino where the statue used to be (circa SMS). This is where the entrance to the first level was, if I recall correctly. Look here: http://media.cube.ign.com/media/016/016713/img_1532570.html

So, the new information: we now know another one of the landing spots for the Isle Delfino stage!

Wheres the statue? edit: Sorry, I see what you were saying. They removed the statue.

Looks like thats the same landing point.

I don't know if anyone pointed it out but the top of the tower where that big shine is is 100% a landing point. Theres even extended ledges (that I don't remember from sunshine) for more ground.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Yes, sort of. Still the same neutral B move, but it looks like the Brawl pic has Pikachu in the air, which makes the attack looks more like an orb until it hits the ground.

Because this thread, like every other goddamn SSB thread in existence, is nothing more than people jerking it in totally worthwhile arguements (FOX > FALCO!, WAVE DASHING IS INTEGRAL!, WE KNOW A NEW LOCATION IN DELFINO PLAZA WHERE THE PLATFORM LANDS, and so on) YOU SIR ARE WRONG!. Pikachu always fires off that orb regardless of lactation, it just usually hits the ground really fast when on the ground. He's on the ground in the Brawl pic, he just happens to be on a platform ledge so when it fires it's still a ball.

It's probably the US version you know Kirby is always mad in the US!

Do people like Samus' current model? To me I would rather her Prime 3 model, rather than the one in the Brawl E3 trailer which was kinda Super Metroid-ish.

 

[Jiggy]

The only disappointing thing about getting TWO character profiles is that these two particular characters look exactly like they always have. Too bad they couldn't have done something with Pika to make him look fuzzier or something.

I'd be freaked out if Pikachu had fur, personally. >_>

No, jigglypuff has creepy eyes.

I think I'm going to crop and avatarize this. But not tonight.

Nice call! Did not see that! Definitely a landing point!

Awesome pickup.

 

[BorkBork]

Kirby requires smoldering generic rage to gain acceptance in North America.

 

[Dr.Hadji]

At first I thought they would redesign the old character a bit but going off of these new shots......... I'm starting to lose hope.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Never noticed the different marketing for Kirby :lol

Japan = Happy Cute

USA = Angry Cute

Yeah, this game isn't for you.

step away from the thread... slowly

 

[Speevy]

You know, they should really just expose the entire game and its characters on one day, perhaps in July during "E3". I'd rather have that than this stuff.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

What stage is that? Paper Mario or Yoshi's Island?

 

[_Alkaline_]

Really? I think this is pretty great stuff, I mean we're learning something new nearly every weekday and getting tons of screens. Not all of its great info but some of it so far (eg: Delfino Plaza, Yoshi music, composer's list, Gooey Bomb, etc) has been pretty nice.

What stage is that? Paper Mario or Yoshi's Island?

Yoshi's Island stage.

 

[superbank]

Ah damn, they even did it to squeak squad! NOA is crazy.

Is that lightning in the background?

The lightning looks like its in the foreground to me.

I think that might be Warios reactions to being hit. :lol Or he was about to do a move but got stopped by Kirby.

It's probably what happens when two attacks clash.

 

[MasterMFauli]

Very disappointing, those new screenshots.
I mean...of course you cant tell exactly, but...to me it looks as if the "impact feeling" of attacks is the same as in Melee, which i hated. Kirby is going to be a loser again :-/
I want back the impact feeling of SSB64, where an enemy was kicked away with some buzz, when you hit him...no matter how much percent he already had.

Also, Kirby has his exact same moves, that´s really disappointing.

 

[superbank]

Maybe, but it wasn't like that in the other games.

I'm putting my bet on it being Warios reaction to being hit. Like its more comical and overdone with his expression + lightning effects around him when he gets hit hard.

You got that impression from these screens? Not a bit too presumptious?

I agree that Kirby having the same exact moves is a tad disappointing but then again he can copy all-new characters as well so it's not all old.

Yah, this game isn't for you.

Back away from this thread slowly.

I think almost all of their moves should be different. Keep it fresh.

 

[_Alkaline_]

Does anyone else really like the look of the Delfino Island stage?

I'm really pumped for it. It looks great in screens, should have fantastic background music, and the different landing points should be fun.

 

[MasterMFauli]

Sorry, it´s SSB, my favorite gaming-series, i AM over-cautious

And no, it´s not only these screens, but these screens seem to make the same approach at "impact feeling" as the first 2 trailers did.
I want Kirby to bee a power-house, but if he´s the Kirby from Melee, he has weak, slow attacks and is slow himself. Hit someone and then get hit a lot more by the enemy. Kirby was my number one in 64, he´s one of the worst in Melee :-(

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Hmm. Did Melee have inconsistent shadows and I just never noticed?

I think he was downgraded a bit in Melee because some people complained that Kirby was too good in the original.

Hopefully he's more balanced this time around. Don't give up hope just yet.

Me too.
Kirby's smash attack looks weak like Melee's :/

I'm fine with his moveset though.

IIRC, in a lot of the early trailers for melee, moves had the same physics to them as in the original SSB64.

It doesn't even need to go that far, simple enhancements and reimagining would be fine.

Ness got gimped too.

A bit? Kirby received the biggest nerfing in Melee, followed closely by Ness, and a little further back by Pikachu.

Kirby was probably the #2 character in SSB64 (behind Pikachu, ahead of Ness). In Melee, he's out-tiered by everyone except Pichu and Mewtwo. Even BOWSER out-tiers Kirby in Melee.

Fox was no good?

I hope Pikachu gets an upgrade. My first character in SSB, but I didn't like him as much in Melee.

 

[civilstrife]

... I just realized something...

If they make Kirby's face look like wario's teeth-baring grin when he has wario's power, kirby's going to look ****ing creepy.

Photoshoppers get to work!

Hmmm What have we here?

OMG YOU WERE RIGHT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT

 

[superbank]

:lol

I pray the devs have a sense of humor and give Kirby more than a hat. A pink man-jaw and mustache and red nose + Kirby eyes would be hilarious.
