The fireball tweak is not tooooo complicated. Making the effect bigger and the projectile slower/not die on hit.
Inhale -> ice breath is just making the attack have a different element/no grab essentially which is really simple.

Pretty basic stuff. It's not changing any animations completely as well. Changing Mario's FLUDD animation into him spinning around is something that's probably not gonna be allowed by the system.

Oh man I'm so stoked for this summer.

Why Greninja over the other starters? Because Greninja is the only one that doesn't look retarded.

Since we have Charizard and Greninja, maybe we'll get a grass starter from another generation too.

Smash Run looks like so much fun. I recognized the similarities to Kirby Air Ride, and was happy when they acknowledged it 8)
Sakurai has such a distinct style that is becoming so easily recognizable. He really loves power ups.

That was all I could think about when looking at that. And then the battle starts with whatever you had on you, just like the cars in Air Ride.


Dude knows exactly what he's doing.

Lol I can't wait to vs you guys.

yeah, i mentioned the air ride thing too in the skype and then city trial was mentioned

also it's not that delphox and chesnaught have bad designs, but they aren't fitting for smash. i can't imagine chesnaught running around with such an awkward body like that, and having two fire types would be pretty repetitive
delphox is probably my favorite starter but i'd rather greninja in over delphox

Because of no pic of the day look at these to discuss new and old items.

Holy s***.

I don't know where you found that, but there is TONS of stuff in there. Possibly the full item list, given how many there are. I don't recognize a bunch of them.

Greninja reveal was dope as hell. Not gonna lie. I'm honestly not disappointed, but I'm not gonna amp myself up for this one.

No Ness, no Falcon, no Jiggs.

R.I.P. Smash 4.

I'm pretty sure we know what to expect for online mode since custom moves are only local-oriented. If I get a system that this can play on I doubt I'd dabble in them just because it's something people shouldn't get used to if they wanna play with others.



Keep in mind that Lucas' Project M Offense Up refreshed for every Smash attack that hit. Might not be the same for WFT.

In other news:

If you click on that Flickr link, you'll see that Galaga made it in as an item or AT:

That's the first obvious Namco appearance I've seen. Thoughts?

EDIT: I didn't see Isaac deconfirmed, either. More thoughts? Golden Sun hype? No?

Two Earthbound related items, so that's nice.

If Jigglypuff and Ganondorf return then the three main franchises all have 5 characters. I wonder if Kirby will get a new playable character as well, maybe Prince Fluff or so?

I can't believe I didn't catch those Galaga ships.
I guess Namco DOES get a rep

No, I'm pretty sure he said you can use them online. Just only when playing against friends.

The Galaga ship is cool as hell. I hope that's the only representation Namco gets (well... maybe a Dig Dug // classic Pac Man assist trophy would be okay, too)

The only items I don't recognize are the S-Flag and this Zelda-looking turret. Anyone know for sure what those are?

Gonna make an item list and compare this to Brawl's in a sec

Whoa, I see. The S-Flag is another Namco insert, present in a lot of their games ranging from Toy Pop, to Tales of Vesperia AND the Abyss. They even put it in Star Fox: Assault.

No idea what that turret is.
