Mastertoku Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Finally. I always loved those little jagged things on the sides of Meta Knight's sword.
Ray Falling Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 He even has his own logo Good to have his profile on the site now too. Perhaps tomorrow we'll see his special moves, which we kind of already know >_> Thank goodness it's not Friday though.
Salluz Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 metaknight looks badass. Yeah, doesn't he? Speaking of Meta-Knight, he better have that kickass spanish accent, or else I'm going to send death threats to the nintendo execs with depictions of me doing a gangsta' lean in my cadillac, gun pointed out of the window, and three females in the back seat.
Global-Trance Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Well, the fact that a peanut gun can have so many features (charging, edible bullets, exploding) gives me a LITTLE hope that they'll do something interesting with Samus' shooting move(s) this time. She'd better not have the slowest projectiles and the slowest "draw" again... she doesn't even draw a gun, it's her freaking arm! Sorry for the Samus rant, couldn't help myself Non-homing missile cancel. :3
BigBoss Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 kickass spanish accent assuming he says anything except various grunts
ILLiterate Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Non-homing missile cancel. :3Makes my face explode on DL64
nohero Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Hmmm... I would've rather seen his cape move replaced. Maybe there's still hope it'll change too. Tornado looks like it'll be his down smash. Shame. I liked his breakdance sweep kick.
Mastertoku Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Where's the Electric stage? I'm curious now. A Power Plant-type thing would be cool.
Linkjing Donuts Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 ahahaha bunny hood in flying stage with yoshi will kill you unless it works like the luigi ladder
Strike911 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 wow... I'm digging Pokemon Stadium 2. Love all the extra references to the types... although I do want to know what the other transformations look like. Don't know how I feel about Mario's new move. It's cool I guess, the spin move didn't deserve 'special move status' since it wasn't a real reference to other Mario games (unless you count the spinning jump from SMW). I'm sure this will piss off plenty of people who played as Mario and Dr Mario, though. I'm cool with this update. Interesting stuff, double update, cool shots. *thumbs up*
Ab56 v2 aka Ash Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 It's cool I guess, the spin move didn't deserve 'special move status' since it wasn't a real reference to other Mario games (unless you count the spinning jump from SMW). Most of Luigi's moves aren't any real references.
Hobocop Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Oh good, I actually was starting to dislike the idea of including Pokemon Stadium again (instead of something better), but this doesn't seem bad. I wonder what role the Pokemon will play on this level, as I don't recall there being a precedent for their appearance in the prior games in this stage... Hopefully it will be interactive like in Saffron City, despite the fact that it doesn't look like they're doing anything in these pictures (well, I guess Skarmory is flying around... but I never really liked him/her/it). The ground transformation is by far the most interesting; Dugtrio and Cubone cameos And, it would kind of be cool if something happened with that (Helix?) fossil... Also, why do I get the feeling that people will claim to see faces in the ice block (lol). Additionally, I can't wait to shoot people into things with Mario's new special. I like the implications this may have on team battles, and the creation and implementation of semi-elaborate traps. The possibilities for two people working together (especially with items) keeps getting more and more interesting and multi-faceted.
Zeklan Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 FLUDD is going to make it very easy to cliff guard.
JoeFu Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Awesome! Even though a bunch of people hated SMS, it was one of my favorite games of last gen. Great to see a nod to that wonderful game.
Eulogic Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Weird. I find it hard to believe that the tornado is a regular (or smash) attack. Perhaps Sunshine Mario is a costume change with variant moves? Or maybe you can customize the special moves for each character (selecting from a small list for each slot), to be saved to your profile?
Sir_NutS Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I'm sure this will piss off plenty of people who played as Mario and Dr Mario, though. The character I played the most with in melee was mario. He might not be the best character in melee, but i don't play melee in competitions/tournaments to choose a hardcore character and just used to play with what felt better. About the change, it doesn't really bothers me as I rarely used his cape move. His moveset would now be: up+B=Uppercut forward+B=Fireball Down+B=F.L.U.D.D. B=Tornado Final Smash=Fireball barrage (or whatever it'll be called) Also, not digging the idea of superjumps in one version of the pokemon stage, but eh, you can't win them all I guess.
Neo Samus Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I still don't understand why so many people bitched about SMS. I thought the game was amazing......except for that commerical...yikes. Anyway, that's cool that F.L.U.D.D. is a special move now. It kinda stinks that The Cape is gone but just like Sir Nuts said, I rarely used that move. I'm liking the transformations in Pokemon Stadium 2. Especially the one with the wind powered generaters.
Ravedash Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I get the idea that Mario's tornado attack got mapped to d-air. It's a natural combo used in midair in the Nintendo World trailer. Also, IIRC, he used the tilt + B cape earlier in the same trailer. It seems logical to me that the d-air drill kick was cut for the tornado. But when my logic's based on a 10-month old trailer...
The Mutericator Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 It almost looks like each character will have a personal equipment item that goes through each battle... Mario's FLUDD, Samus' Suit, Wario's bike, Diddy's Rocket Barrels (maybe maybe not). Interesting possibility. This really isn't going to be Melee 1.5 at all, it's going to really make that same jump that Melee did from classic Smash... a completely new game, a thousand times better, if this all works out (and I trust Sakurai).
Global-Trance Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 We don't know for certain what's missing so let's just wait and see...
Codycrusader Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Cool updates, really cool that pokemon make cameos. But instead of doing just four transformations they shoulda' just did all types, give it a lil' more variation at least
L.T.W. Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I truly hope the cape isn't gone, I used it all the time. And I'll miss Dr. Mario Anyways, this makes me think more than ever than Luigi will have his Vacuum cleaner from his GCN game. EDIT: Oh yeah, and the air stage its gonna rock, IMO.
