So in the article hyperlinked in that one, Kamiya says a nearly identical statement about wanting Bayonetta in smash but it's up to Nintendo... I hadn't heard this before but I find that pretty exciting. I've always thought a Platinum rep is plausible with how closely they've been working with Nintendo, although I think Wonder-Red would be a much better fit than Bayonetta. But then again they did make Snake fit in, so who knows

I'm not too sure about this change for Pikachu. On one hand, the height of Thunder has decreased. On the other... his edge-game will go up tenfold because of that meteor ability for it.
Now, I can't confirm this, but I don't remember Thunder stopping it's line towards Pikachu if it hit an opponent. I thought that was only for platforms. Again, I can't say that with 100% confidence, but I believe that was the case beforehand.

spin slam into death B^) my favorite bowser move
For the sake of having a bigger image to look at.
So Pikachu can attack out of Thunder it seems, which seems like it will be really powerful. Thunder's biggest weakness was the fact that Pikachu was vulnerable for most of the time. It now seems that isn't the case.
Then there is the fact that Thunder now seems to not last for a long time. It seems to be a quick bolt going down.

It doesn't, and it doesn't seem to do that here either. It seems the Thunder is going down with Bowser.

seeing that pic, I wonder if you will be able to dodge because of the lag of the thunder or because hitstun can be canceled as fast as in brawl

I would laugh if you can DI the meteor spike so that Pikachu can't follow up.

For Snake.

Man this Pikachu update is awesome! So is it just the cloud portion that spikes or do you think any part of the thunder does it? The trailer we originally saw didn't have this property at all.
Oh yeah, did anyone remember that Thunder made Ridley fall to the ground in Brawl? Kinda makes you think doesn't it?

Pic of the day. Pikachu's Thunder now starts off with a thundercloud that deals a Meteor Smash! From left to right, you can see this combo starting with Pikachu throwing the opponent upward, Meteor Smashing with the lightning strike, and then directly attacking. Foes can dodge, of course, so the attack won't hit consistently, but when it does, it sure feels good!
Hell yeah one of my favorite moves in the game
EDIT: No offscreen kills does make me a little sad though

Megaton Hammer replaces the golden hammer (we keep the of hammer)
It's super slow and super powerful and when if you hit the ground with it, it sends shockwaves and has an AOE radius.

DaBoss just posted the clean image, so I don't feel the need to.
Also, regarding the hashtag argument a few pages back, I'd totally be okay with #TeamMelia if it came to that. Sure, it'd be a shame to not have the Monado wielder, but the game could use more magic users - all we have right now is Zelda.

Tyeforce was asking about rosters and since it's been a long veteran less month and change, why not:
Not much has changed besides me hopelessly flip flopping between wanting and dreaming of more new series reps (previously Lip from Panel De Pon, an Advance Wars character between Andy and Sami, Saki from Sin & Punishment, and Issac from Golden Sun) and erring more towards the side of "current" folks and a number closer to 50. I don't really think we're getting more than 50 (honestly, I think 48 is the most overall), but it'd be cool to see.
Wonder Red/Wonderful Ones are there because game is pure hype and screams for Smash representation.

What do you mean no offscreen kills?
Speaking personally, Anna has always been one of my picks as a general Fire Emblem representative, given how she's been in practically every entry to the series. She's technically more of a constant than Marth is. And her role as a merchant puts a neat theoretical angle on how her moves might work, as someone who theoretically has almost every FE weapon-type on hand.
So, I can dig it.
Has he commented on the possibility for a W101 representative as well?

There's a problem: Langdon didn't voice Raiden in All-Stars, and he's not listed in the credits for mo-cap either. It sounds like he's lying to cover his tracks.

Could be uncredited work. I guess there is a possibility he is trying to cover it up, but I don't really want to think he is lying about it.

The plot thickens. I'm loving this.
The PlayStation All-Stars credits are literally 30 minutes long -- anyone with even a slight connection to the project is individually credited. I don't think someone like Reuben Langdon would be left out.

Hmm how interesting. I hope someone asks why he isn't credited with mocap work for the other game either. When I put everything together I have to think that this all directly confirms
Ridley.

^ Why even bring up Smash Bros.?
Nintendo Wars needs some sort of representation beyond Assist Trophy. This is a series that's been around since the Famicom days and has showed up on most Nintendo consoles.

I know, I thought that was interesting.
I'm not familiar with the series yet (but I will be soon), so who would be an obvious choice for a Wars rep?

TVTropes says that Advance Wars was the first game to have an actual story, so I guess Andy.

It doesn't, and it doesn't seem to do that here either. It seems the Thunder is going down with Bowser.
I think it can only attack during thunder if the lightning doesn't hit it.

That's actually a good point, if they know about Thunder, they could/should/would just not go above Pikachu. The problem is... if the opponent knows about how Thunder would work, the Pikachu could just ThunderShock them on the ground until they get jump/dodge to avoid those. It seems Pikachu still has his Ground and Air game from before all the same. Really wish his Down-B would be something else, but at least they change Thunder to make it a slight bit easier to avoid (and then make it stronger, oy) is SOMETHING good they changed for him.
No not specifically, just that bit about Bayonetta and saying in general that he would be honored to have one of his characters included. The Wonder-Red thing is just what I thought. Also it would probably be easier since Nintendo published W101, whereas Bayonetta was published by Sega

Others have said it but I will reiterate it, those kinds of pics of the day are best! It's so fun to see and hear about all the cool tweaks characters are getting! Thanks for keeping this updated!

Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
Confusing Smash with Playstation All-Stars is like confusing a gourmet steak with a TV dinner.
Yeah, I used Pikachu's Thunder mostly for off-screen KOs from the top of the screen. Though I suppose that wasn't how the move was intended to be used. Oh well.
Her Awakening version is in charge of the DLC and she appears in a lot of goofy DLC episode roles so the boosted exposure could justify it anyway. It'd just be the Awakening version really, though. Couldn't say she has a personality or gameplay model until Awakening.
She's only a merchant in Awakening though. The other games, she has brief cameos as a mechanics tutorial or minor UI interface.

I hope we get one soon. I'm itching for a new reveal.
I also hope we get a direct soon too. We're starting spring but besides a few games on both systems, there's nothing really concrete that we know is going to come out after May.
There's also no real big game launches in April from what I'm seeing either. I'd say its probably a safe bet that we'll get something in the week of Kirby launch though...probably Meta Knight reveal on that Friday.

No, Pikachu couldn't attack during Thunder whether it hit him or not in previous Smash Bros. He was always stuck in the long animation after using it. It balanced out how strong Thunder was as an enemy-repellant move.
Since he can apparently attack out of it now, I wonder if its knockback from the thunder shockwave proper will be nerfed? I can't imagine them keeping it like it is and also letting him attack out of it.
