edit out the stuff that was posted already, since a lot of that was not said in the original(the character impressions, etc.)
yezzir.
The hell is going on in this thread?
E-for-all happened. Community exploded.
This week still sucked as far as dojo updates.
…seriously.
Peach’s Final Smash, huh. That is something I could become afraid of. And the dissapointment, she shoulda had 4 Final Smashes for each Vibe from Super Princess Peach. And it was an OK week. But 2 weeks in a row before this filled with interweb crippling hotness, and one that put the internet in a body cast. But as we get closer to February 10 its gonna be more weeks like this one. Sakurai can’t bring hotness to us everyday, no matter how much the community wants him to. So I guess we have to take the Killa Shit and the Wack Shit as part of the journey to February 10, 2008.
Though I only lurk this thread mainly, he bothers me in the SF4 forum as well as the SF2HD thread. Don’t know why, but I feel you, he’s like a troll that hasn’t got it down yet or something.
As far as the whining, man it’s gonna take months to figure out all the new shit, like any new fighting game. Theory fighter might be fun, but it’s still stupid to whine about it, especially for a game not yet released.
P.S. I would whine if they added parry to SF4, or made it 3D I suppose. But fuck, I wouldn’t give up on it until I at least played the final release.
only two changes to the system so far have annoyed me.
grab from any side - makes Mario’s across+b useless, and forgives holding the wrong direction. You fuck up an Up+B? You deserve to lose a stock.
grab at any point during up+B - overly simplifies things.
Damn. That’s some seriously hot shit. Thanks.
Hmm. Looks like Peach’s Final Smash only affects a certain portion of the screen, so if you’re not in that range, then you aren’t affected. (Watch me to have missed something regarding this.) Wonder how much start-up time it has, and if she can be knocked of it…
Anyone else slightly creeped out by her eyes in the first image?
this can’t be serious
So let me get this right: Wavedashing is possibly gone. And l-canceling is dead.
but…
we still get chainthrows, jcing, DI, cc, dash dancing, shield throws (which was my shit. I loved it) edge hopping, moonwalking…
…plus some new advanced techniques.
Yet there’s still whining?
The smash community confuses me. And my friends wonder why I never took interest in competitive smash. This is like whining about absolute guard being out of 3S.
Oh, and is pivoting back? I could never get that shit down.
I think they’re referring to a different type of pivoting.
Shine can still be jump canceled and spiked! NOOOOOO!!! But I guess that’s mostly what Fox has now.
Things I love:
-Fusion of traditional SSB64 Smash and Melee, like I expected from Sakurai.
*Greater shield stun which I think Melee was lacking.
*Generally floatier.
*Character intros were already confirmed but it’s still nice to hear.
*Chaingrabbing is still in, but it’s probably more selective.
-I was right about Mario’s Tornado being a normal.
-This “Ink Drop” doesn’t seem to be a wavedash substitute but something different altogether. Seems more mindgame oriented than mobility oriented.
-The floatiness of the characters seem to equalize witht the fact that L-canceling is gone (as far as we know).
Agreed. One of the weakest if not the weakest yet.
But Peach’s “psycho bitch” FS first picture is a nice consolation prize.
AlphaDragoon: Thanks for posting all the juicy info.
Oh snap! How could I have forgotten! Has anyone confirmed timed normals being able destroy projectiles?!
Sonichuman: I knew about this info when Gimpy and Neal came into the smash hub and talked to everyone.
Actually I am satisfied. The way I see it is that Samsh really needs 3 things to stay competitive.
SHFFLing so shield grabbing doesn’t completely dominate and so most/all characters have a means to attack. So l-cancel would need to be in.
A means of ground mobility that allows for fast movement/reactions/ and spacing but leaves you with attack options. The new dash dancing and pivoting seems like it will fit the bill.
And character specific techs thaty keep characters unique and fresh. Looks like those are still in, but some got nerfed.
But so far, I’m content.
Mostly I was just upset about the loss of so much. But the smash community is already breaking this game…and I LOVE to break me some games.
white shadow: There was a vid of a cpu Mario destroying Samus’ super missile with his f-tilt.
Haha, love today’s update, Peach looks like she’s pulling some Storm / Hinata shit 
.
Yay! Thanks.
Man I’m out of the loop. I didn’t know Peach had the Mangekyou Sharingan.
This totally made me feel like they were on some Pulp Fiction kick :lovin:
