So examining Olimar’s final smash on the Dojo and in the Olimar commercial, it looks to me like his final smash is unblockable, guaranteed damage to the opponent, with no chance of KO. Even if it does “less” damage in 1v1 matches, it’s completely unblockable with no chance of kill-stealing. Olimar is gonna be soooo top tier.
…seriously.
^As long as smash balls aren’t banned.
Well there’s a chance for a KO at the end when his ship lands, but how well or even whether you’ll be able to control where his ship lands is an open question.
My guess is that smash balls will be banned, but I don’t think this game is going to lend itself to competitive play as well as Melee, so there might not be any point in banning them in the first place.
Fixed… partially
Seeing that 1vs1 will probably be the base for tier organization and that collecting the items such as a Smash Ball is probably based on tiers in itself (I’m sure Sonic is better at getting his FS than Bowser). He might end up being a character with a high tier Final Smash for mulitplayer but a low tier everything else. (which is still up in the air.)
I can’t wait for broken item combos and glitches!
Banning smash balls would have to be the stupidest thing ever.
And I think Olimar’s final smash is pretty broken in 1v1 too. Remember, it’s guaranteed damage, so even if it does less damage than say link’s or mario’s final smash, you don’t ever have to worry about missing, or about setting it up before your time runs out.
…seriously.
anyone else notice that zelda has dark brown hair and shiek has blonde hair…??? i just thought that was strange…???
Not really, it’s just part of the disguise think.
Makes sense to me. Pikmin’s final smash is dope.
It’s really difficult to say if it’s “guaranteed”, though, especially considering difference in the size of the stages (can you dodge on New Pork City or The Temple more easily than you can Pictochat?) and the high manueverability of some characters, such as Peach or Jigglypuff or Metaknight or whoever else.
nobody can final smash a sheik doing a ledge stall, nobody!
Now this raises the question…Can two characters simultaineously do Final Smashes? Imagine Snake and Olimar doing theirs at the same time…
Well folks, day 2 of WHobby is coming up. Expect some more Smash info to come in soon.
I’m pretty sure that the game has it so that there can only be one Smash Ball on screen at a time, even if that Smash Ball is “being held” by someone.
It just seems like the obvious solution to such problems that your combination (and others) would create.
Although, if I’m incorrect, it would be hilarious to see Giga Bowser face Wario Man.
Looks like gametrailers is doing a smash special on the characters and what not until the game is released…I’m sure there’s probably not gonna be much info that we probably don’t already know but…hey it’s something to do ya know?
Challenger Approaching pt. 1:
contains stuff on pit, wario, snake, and sonic
haha, i want to see Snake FS and scope that ledge, and make her think twice about hanging around there. I think its about time we had a generic update, the Olimar/Pikmin stuff was good, and Shiek was well Shiek, but now we need a system update of sorts.
one more hour to go
Haha, ewww they mentioned Snake’s Revenge. His Final Smash should seriously be throwing copies of that game at his enemies and making them play it.
blah what a stupid update. Only usable in emissary mode? what a waste. I mean they coulda atleast let people play around with power ups in practice mode or a special versus mode with them. All I’m gonna do with those stupid stickers is slap on the most powerful attack increasing stickers so I can plow through that stupid mode faster. The less time I spend unlocking characters the better.
This actually makes stickers useful beyond being just collectibles, so this is designated as an awesome and unexpected update.
Someone just fucking find out if you can play as Zamus without a god damn smash ball already.
Seriously.
This was a very unexpected update.
