I think it's pretty funny that we're already out of Diddy Land.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Mario's legs seem really long...

 

[ffdgh]

Sakurai pls...

 

[J@hranimo]

meh

oh good, I look forward to the explanation for the Smash ring and how it changes.

 

[Loco4Coco]

That's Mr. Saturn!
How dare you!!

I know who/what it is, but is there a way to use it or you just throw at people.

 

[TheLegendOfCap]

I could've sworn we've already gotten that picture before.

You trying to pull something here Sakurai?

I have a feeling its either going to be that the stage changes with little Mac OR

"Remember this stage when we first revealed it?"

Then a comment picture with the new look and explanation of why they kept it hidden.

 

[BassForever]

I guess this confirms that the stage can still have the original look before it became the Punch-Out ring?

Actually its two separate stages to inflate the stage count :Kappa

 

[PorygonVandal]

I'm assuming a two screenshot Miiverse post... the second one with Mac showing the differences

 

[SuperSah]

Lame.

This is beginning to drag.

 

[Mr Buddy]

Meh, kinda lame pic. Would love some clarification on the stage changes though. Methinks they only happen when little mac is in it, but who knows

 

[StreetsAhead]

Whole lot of 'waa-waa' going on.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Maybe he'll post a second pic in a second showing a "Before and After".

 

[Dimitri LH]

Nothing on the miiverse website yet.

 

[MrSaturn99]

ITS FUCKIN NOOTTHIIINNNNG

I still don't know what this is.

wtf mate

 

[Zalman]

Aw man, I was hoping it would stay as a Punch-Out stage.

 

[BassForever]

I know who/what it is, but is there a way to use it or you just throw at people.

Its a shield breaker, does massive damage to shields

 

[Kyzon]

Where the hell is Bowser looking?
It bothers me when characters look off in the distance.

 

[pulga]

samurai pls

 

[J@hranimo]

Lemme guess...

"it only changes to the WVBA ring when Little Mac is there"

 

[Kriken]

I still don't know what this is.

...D:
Edit: nvm, don't do that to me though

wtf mate

 

[Loco4Coco]

Its a shield breaker, does massive damage to shields

Oh, I'm an idiot.

 

[foxuzamaki]

That looks like the original boxing stage, we might be able to switch between it depending on sakurai's comment.

 

[Mariolee]

So I guess he's going to confirm both versions are in? I always thought it was weird that everyone thought they would just eradicate the Smash Bros. version entirely.

 

[MannyToons]

Mario looks... straaangely taller here.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Mario looks... straaangely taller here.

That Sonic Boom.

 

[EulaCapra]

meh

Looks like E3 leftovers.

 

[tonyh24613]

 

[MannyToons]

That Sonic Boom.

Oh God, no.

So it also changes to the Punch Out theme without Little Mac around. 2 different versions, I guess.

 

[Kyzon]

Ah, I see

Pic of the day. There are actually two versions of the boxing ring stage! This ring is the Smash Bros. version…

…and this one is the Punch Out!! W.V.B.A. design. King Dedede really likes fighting in the ring, doesn't he?

 

[Jagsrock]

Mario looks... straaangely taller here.

Its cause he's in the middle of his idle animation. Notice he's on his toes.

 

[Zalman]

Ah, I see

Wait, so they are two separate stages?

 

[J-Tier]

Oooooo. Stage change.

 

[ffdgh]

2 pics is nice.

 

[Kyzon]

Wait, so they are two separate stages?

Two versions of the same stage.

Like the day and night version of Smashville

 

[Shun]

Wait, so they are two separate stages?

It's probably just like Smashville where the stage appears different during certain conditions.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Cant believe you guys didnt catch on lol

 

[OminousShadow]

So the stage changes when Dedede is in there too? Interesting. Makes sense too.

EDIT: O ok seems the second pic is just a reference to the Dedede boss fights in previous kirby games. And not actually indicative of Dedede changing the stage too.

 

[Kriken]

Reading Sakurai's Miiverse post, it's just him showing us what we already know: 2 versions of the ring

 

[Gleethor]

So the stage changes when Dedede is in there too? Interesting. Makes sense too.

I don't think that this was implied at all.

 

[Alo81]

Sm4sh vs Brawl.

I did these all over on my Tumblr. Theres more over there but I just grabbed a bunch and thought I'd share them here. The Brawl ones are rendered in Dolphin.

I think it's interesting to see the progress Sm4sh is making from where Brawl was.

 

[SuperSah]

If that's two stages, that's lazy.

 

[Dimitri LH]

EDIT: beaten so hard....

 

[Mariolee]

I don't think it's going to be character dependent at all. I'm pretty sure it'll just be randomly chosen, like the two stages of Mushroomy Kingdom.

 

[PorygonVandal]

Now let's speculate on which other stages will have two different versions!

 

[Masked Man]

Looks like players can choose which design they use for the Boxing Ring stage. Cool! I wonder if we'll see more of this kind of subtle customizability in the game.

Also, Sakurai mentioned that Dedede apparently likes fighting in the Boxing Ring, lol.

 

[Kyzon]

Now let's speculate on which other stages will have two different versions!

The Animal Crossing stage, and Palutena's Temple.

 

[ffdgh]

So the stage changes when Dedede is in there too? Interesting. Makes sense too.

It's more of a language sort of thing

...I think?

 

[Cody_D165]

I have this sudden wish to fight against King Dedede in a Punch-Out game.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

Now let's speculate on which other stages will have two different versions!

Pyrosphere when Ridley takes the stage Metroid Queen takes over "leave it to me guys"

 

[Mariolee]

Also, Sakurai mentioned that Dedede apparently likes fighting in the Boxing Ring, lol.

Wait, where did he say that? Why wouldn't it simply be randomly chosen like in the Mushroomy Kingdom in Brawl?
