I think the bottom one is the enhanced version of the top one (KO charged up?) So it looks slightly different, maybe has more armor, but main thing is that it would cause more damage/smash than the one above. Just my very uneducated guess.
Originally I was going to write up an at-length critique of the complaints about the trailer being ‘sexist’, touching on points several of you have already raised. Upon rethinking it, this may be a case where the easier retort is better.
“beckyspage9” is wrong. The trailer did not start with Samus being punched. The punching bag was, aside from empty air, the first thing Little Mac hit. So if we’re going to make up insane complaints about this trailer being ‘ist’ toward a group, I think you can make a much better case: Nintendo is objectist. They hate inanimate objects and promote doing random property damage by smashing things through windows! That’s to say nothing of whatever innocent person might be hit by the glass shards and/or heavy leather-and-sand (or are they made of other materials these days?) bag that got sent flying. As someone who has several inanimate objects around my home and office that I don’t want aspiring boxers to punch apart, this part of the trailer greatly offended me! (</sarcasm>, twitter hashtag sarcasm, etc. for those who need it to be said outright)
Sexism is a real issue, one worth keeping an eye out for. However, finding it in everything ever and howling about a video game trailer where Little Mac punched one woman (Samus), but was convincingly defeated by another (Wii Fit Trainer, who even got to look over the edge and teasingly watch as he fell to his demise) does not really help these concerns. If one goes strictly by the numbers, the trailer looks more like equality; especially when Samus casually rolling by a beat-up Mac at the end of the trailer could imply that Samus got her revenge later. Crying foul over this non-incident is the sort of thing that burns the good-will of others, making them more likely to use mockery instead of sympathy when real incidents of sexism come up.
How are we doing on stages? A lot of the ones shown/revealed in trailers seem surprisingly tame. Certainly no shots of something like Norfair, Hanebow, or shudder 75m.
Also, I’m gonna start a petition that Capcom gives Nintendo liberty to use the Ducktales Moon Theme on the Comet Observatory
It’s not a command dash, it’s his normal dash. When i the opened the images they slowed down and I was able the see clearly what was going on. In the Mario one his not dashing through the fireballs, his dashing UNDER THEM. I guess he sort of low-profiles them because he run low to the ground. And in the Megaman one he actually jumps when his right in front of the shot and does the special downpercut thing. Mac is fuckin’ sssssiiiiiiiicccckkkk.
