Little Mac Confirmed Playable For Smash Bros Wii U

Just came from watching the lego movie. That and this thread has made me the most happy person in the world right now, and I still havent seen the whole direct!
The only think I wish more is ridley and im set. Do it sakurai and I will buy borh versions, not only the wiiU one.
 
THis comes from Sakurai's miiverse post:

His biggest feature is his Power Meter. When this gets charged up, his standard special move changes! It turns into a one-hit-K.O. uppercut.
 
It's neither. In the Punch-Out games your meter builds as you string together attacks, and it goes down when you get hit. It will almost certainly work the same way here, forcing you to play aggressive and combo.

You won't be able to just sit back and hold a button to charge.

While we can't see much after he begins charging, you can most certainly gain meter by charging whatever-attack-that-is. He sits there, absorbing attacks while charging, and we actively see him gain a couple bits of meter.

After that he releases the punch and they speed up gameplay for a time, so yes, I'd say you get meter by landing hits, although sucking up attacks with invincibility still likely contributes.

Impossible to say for sure though.


It's also impossible to say that the KO attack shown at the end is a one-hit KO. They don't show what damage Bowser/Mega Man are at before being hit.

EDIT: JK. Dat Miiverse post.


MOAR EDIT: All that said, in the beginning of the gameplay I think we see him use a weak neutral-B. When Doc says STRAIGHT! I think we see a more powerful neutral-B, and at the end we see a fully charged neutral-B.

eww
 
In case anyone missed it, check out the fully-realized Punch-Out stage as compared to the Smash-generalized one. Wonder if they'll alternate or something, or if the Smash logos were really just a placeholder all along.

 
This is the character I've been waiting for more than any other since the original. I wanted him more than Pit for Brawl.

And finally Little Mac's bringing it!

He buffed up, started working out, training and such, plus got a new haircut, now he back and business, now he got people like hours left all over him.
 
Smash Brothers sucks, throw that dude on screen and then don't announce Punch Out U? Eff that.

I was disappointed when I finally realized it wasn't an announcement for a new Punch-Out, but at least it's a sign they're not giving up on the franchise: no point trying to create so much hype for the character unless they're planning a future Punch-Out.
 
NEW MAIN CONFIRMED.

I wanted Lil Mac in the last Smash Bros. When Punchout! returned for the Wii I not only played it but played it in the gloves they sold dressed in a Lil Mac Cosplay and used the motion controls.

This guy has a Shen Woo charge punch, Terry Bogard's Power dive, Wolverine's Berderper Slersh, and he has a sick Uppercut.

DIS MY MAIN SON. Ganondorf, who has been my main since Melee, has finally been dethroned.
 
Wait....HOW MANY OF HIS MOVES ARE PROJECTILE INVULNERABLE OR ARMORED?!

His charge punch gave no fucks, nor his dash up under Mario's fire and the powerdive either.

My God is he armored or invulnerable on charge or what?

Dude I am hype as fuuuuuuuuuuck.

Awesome! You shouldn't stop maining Ganondorf since you could put him as secondary main. I'm glad that you found Little Mac exciting and hyping as I did. He's very amazing addition to the roster, and I can't wait for the game!

Yeah us Dorfers are scared though...Dorf isn't revealed yet. For that matter neither are the other 2 big players in my house which is Sheik and Capt. Falcon. Lots to fear out of those three not being around. I'll never stop playing Dorf. Especially if they tweak him and put him in again, but Lil Mac is the shit and I'm there.

Remember though..he has crap air mobility. He DESTROYS the ground game though and absolutely looks dominant and abusable, but his recovery game is looking harsh. Dont whif either...he has some long recovery on some of these tools. All safety notes aside I WILL DESTROY WITH THIS GUY. I dont air jive. I throwdown on the ground. He is built for me and my power rushdown stylings. Bring it on.
