Yea, it shows up here actually having knockback: http://youtu.be/xvudMu-5kIU?t=1m24s

It may be a custom move like others have said?

From the initial reveal trailer:

Or this validates the theory that the first hit has knockback and the rest has no flinch effect. So basically, you have to hit them with the first hit or you get punished. Which could make it okay for ground attacks, but weak for recovery in the air.

Hmmm, this could be it. Either way, this no knockback or flinching is still shit for DK.

I doubt its air properties have been changed from Brawl.

 

[tonyh24613]

DK's Up Special is now slanted when used on the ground. GIF is slowed down when it hits Mega Man.

And that's not all, it is now a multi-hit move that seems to have no knockback. Look at Mega Man not flinching or sent flying at all.

Maybe they're actually playing Smash Run, and Megaman just happened to have high defence.

Or it works differently in the air. Doesn't even Brawl have some differences between the move depending on if it's activated in the air or on ground?

The sub 1-minute timer does support that theory!

 

[789shadow]

Does anyone have the one pic that kind of looks like the Inglip guy but it's just the guy at his computer screaming "SAKURAIIIIIIIIII"

 

[Freezie KO]

Or this.

Or this too.

Hm.. Looks like Sakurai needs to hurry up with this game, so we can solve the mystery of DK's up special.

Falcon Kick, Warlock Kick, Ness' PK fire, Ice Climbers blizzard all do

Arguably Bowser's ground pound, Wario's bike, and Yoshi's ground pound as well

Super Armor is an item in Smash Run.

 

[Nickle]

I don't know if any of you have noticed, but it looks like you will be able to pick up items on the fly like in Brawl. Just look at how Fox pics up the shell while using his dash attack. I only noticed this because it is not like this in Project M (and maybe Melee, it's been awhile). That was one of the few changes that I didn't like in Project M, because you had to press Z instead.

 

[Sciz]

Wow, Megaman doesn't give a fuck.

After everything he's been through the last few years, he's gotten pretty jaded.

 

[BassForever]

Super Armor is an item in Smash Run.

I was under the impression the items in Smash Run were to be used during the dungeon exploration part not the actual brawls

It was especially dumb with stickers where you can't pick them up till they fall to the ground :/

Arguably? More like definitely. A lot of other moves work differently depending on whether you're airborne or not.

I meant Spinning Kong in particular, in Brawl doesn't it have Super Armor on the ground only or something like that?

Best part about the footage we've seen thus far:

no fucking stickers.

please let there be no stickers

 

[BassForever]

I said arguably because in terms of how they hit they're the same, but the ground pounds the character adds a jump and for Wario in the air his bike gets a hop which doesn't happen on the ground.

The first ones I mentioned on the other hand attack in a different direction and look different as well

Don't be hatin
Stickers could be used for Miiverse stamps.

 

[oreomunsta]

I think your impression is still right. By 'high defense' I think what is meant is that the Megaman player picked up a lot of Defense boosts during the run portion of Smash Run. It's an assumption to say that high defense will reduce knockback, however

This would be cool though I imagine instead the Brawl/Kirby's Air Ride style unlock wall would occasionally unlock stamps along with new characters, stages, modes, and music

Over at Smashboards some are speculating about a Time Stamp in the Direct meaning something? Here's thread. You may need to scroll down some. I'm getting a headache just reading it lol

But that's like, all they do and it's a bunch of artwork I can find online.

Actually had to do that because I couldn't get the mibbit link to YT stream for US to work, so I tried UK stream, but that wasnt helping either as the direct wasnt playing on the top of the page. Went down on UK page and clicked a link/popup for it that timed the direct and had the direct on it

They can show up like everyone else, as trophies.

 

[ugoo18]

Did 3D World actually break a million?

You sound surprised?

 

[Kyzon]

That...and it made metaknight even more better if that's possible.

Metaknight will be back with both a glide and hover

We have Cuccoos in the game now? Are they items?

Wow, never noticed that. I'd say it looks like 7's mostly. It's also funny to see there are eight characters even to mirror the eight robot masters. I especially didn't notice that part.

Eight Smash Masters?

[DaBoss]

This thread is nearing 20,000 posts which is when NeoGAF's archiving system or something starts to act funny. So new threads are made in place of threads that go near that limit. Usually those threads near 20,000 are locked. The Smash 4 threads haven't been locked yet and it allows for easier quoting of old posts and linking stuff, so let's not start now.

Don't use this thread anymore.
