Color Changes

You can change the color of your character by pressing buttons on the character-selection screen!

This is one of the many joys of Smash. This time, each character has about six different color variations.

We've added Fire Mario to the selection.

He's white! Is this Yeti DK?

What's this?! Dark Link?!

The Fusion Suit is a must.

The Dark Fox. That's pretty cool.

Th-those... I've seen those before somewhere...

This is the Zelda of old.

Golden colors and fallen angel colors.

Hmm... These are the colors of an ordinary soldier.

Snake changed his camouflage!

The end result is a great wealth of varieties, so I hope you'll all find your favorite color combinations.

Smart Bomb

This familiar item is from the Star Fox series. Those who have played those games can imagine how this bomb explodes

Throw the Smart Bomb, Fox!

Don't get caught in the explosion, Fox!

Hurry, Fox! Run!

This fearsome item practically covers entire stages in a massive, engulfing explosion. It's best to try to use it in a spot that leaves few places for enemies to flee. Or something like that.

It does seem that they occasionally fail to explode. You might throw it, only to watch it not detonate. In those cases, you'll want to be careful, because you never know when it might go off.

Speaking of duds, certain Pokémon that explode also sometimes fail to detonate.

Pssssssst.

Training

If you brawl for a long time, there is one thing you will definitely start to think: "What can I do that will help me be able to win?"

For that, I've implemented a training mode to help you get to know the characters.

At first glance, nothing about this screen seems unusual.

Bothersome displays are hidden at first. The settings screen appears when you pause the game.

Oh! There it is!

You can produce lots of items.

You can put in three computer opponents, and jack their damage meters way up.

And you can see how much damage different combos do.

You can even put it in slow motion.
(But...you can't tell that from a screen shot.)

You need to know the moves, whether you're trying to hit with them or avoid them-this is especially true of Final Smashes.

This mode is particularly helpful with that.

Spectator

Even among Smash players, there are some people who just aren't that good at action games. With that in mind, I've been thinking about how I can convey the fun of Smash to newcomers. I've been thinking about this type of thing since long before I joined this industry.

So, for this game, I've prepared a new kind of mode. It's called Spectator, and you'll find it in the With Anyone menu. If I had to describe it in a word, it's "watching!"

You can enjoy watching matches between other people!

This mode is a service where Nintendo uses Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to send the data for games played between other people to every Smash household.

Match selection is handled automatically, and absolutely no names of any players can be seen. It feels like there's a continuous broadcast of matches on your television! Even if you don't play, you can enjoy the battles of other characters!

And at the beginning of each match, you can even bet coins on the character you think will win.

I'll bet some coins. I've got a winner!

Glean what hints you can from the stages and combatants and try to deduce the winner.

Of course, if your pick wins, your coin count will increase! And the more players in a match, the higher the payout. There may even be extra prizes.

Even if you lose, you can get some stickers.

Just to make sure there's no mistaking that just watching a match can be fun, we'll be passing out stickers left and right.

For those of you who want to cooperate with our data collection for Spectator mode, set Allow Spectators to Yes in your Wi-Fi Options. This will result in your play data occasionally being sent to Nintendo.

This setting is in your Wi-Fi Options.

The content that is broadcast is the same for everyone spectating (if your connection timing is the same), so it should be fun to have people in different environments watch and cheer the same match.

To be shocked by impressive play, or to bust a gut laughing at some accident will be quite fun! Perhaps you can use it as reference for your own matches.

Hopefully this mode is something that even people who aren't good at games can enjoy.

Meta Knight: Special Moves

I introduced some of Meta Knight's special moves in a previous post titled "Four Special Move Types".

But, since he has so many peculiar moves, I wanted to explain them again.

Suck them up!

Your inertia carries you left and right. Tap the button to rise up off the ground a bit.

Rush!!!

You spin like a drill, plowing into people. You can also change your direction slightly.

Push your enemies up into the air!

Of course, you can push them down, too.

Rise up while launching your sword up...

You can also flutter through the air and glide.

This is a move you use to glide. It's kind of like Kirby's wing ability.

The familiar move from the trailer.

He wraps himself in his cape, disappears, and reappears with this move.

Tilt the stick to move the position where he'll reappear!

If you're pressing the attack button, you'll unleash a surprise attack as you reappear!

Use the Dimensional Cape as a precursor to an attack. If you just can't get the opportunity, then forget about attacking.

Three Different Taunts

If you want to show your opponent a little flair, you can do moves unrelated to battle-it's called taunting. You do it with the +Control Pad, except when using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.

This time, you do one of three different taunts, depending on the direction you press the +Control Pad!

Up taunt: He twirls his sword twice and sheaths it.

Side taunt: Oh. A fairy.

Down taunt: Is this his mysterious pose from the Nintendo 64 version?!

There are a variety of patterns for you to enjoy.

He takes off his hat and spins around whimsically.

She curls herself in some sort of new stretch.

He gives a shout on the spot.

He gives a three-fingered "W" salute.

He thrusts his sword in the ground and crosses his arms.

He spins his feet and says "Too slow..."

With Wii Remote + Nunchuk control, taunts are handled with the 1 Button (up taunt), the 2 Button (down taunt) and the 1 and 2 Buttons simultaneously (side taunt).

Oh, and a short message can be assigned to each taunt direction.

Update

It's Ike's Final Smash, Great Aether. As the name suggests, it's a more powerful version of Aether.

First things first: get the Smash Ball!

Do a standard special move to swing your blazing sword!

Great!

AETHER!

Then he just plummets.

At the moment of impact, your foes are launched!

That feels gooood... It's exciting and exhilarating.

But, you do have make sure you hit with the Final Smash. Its range of impact is pretty large, so you just have to get the right timing.

Try to lift up multiple enemies!

In multiplayer brawls, you can move freely as long as you aren't the one who's suffering the Final Smash.

Ike is invincible during his Final Smash, so you can't really meddle with him. But as for the people he's finishing off...?

Maybe you could add to their woes. Could this be a plan?

Norfair

Norfair is the location in Metroid where the enemy boss Ridley was. There was a lot of lava, and it seemed like a rather hot area.

Whoa! That looks hot.

As you can imagine,the lava level will indeed rise and cover the platforms. It's dangerous to touch it.

That dangerous-to-the-touch lava comes flowing from a number of places, so be careful.

Hot! Hot-hot-hot-hot-hot-HOT!

EEEEEEEEEEK! It's a lava wave!

The tension rises. Yes.

When the lava wave appears, a single safe area will also appear. If you can get in, you'll be safe...but surely there will be quite a battle for that spot. Yet another bit of back and forth.

"Let me in!" "I'm not letting YOU in!"

It even has hatches that close in emergencies. Ahh.

You can barely dodge the massive lava wave with a great jump, but it's a little difficult. Besides, you KNOW you want to win the battle for that safe area.

Lucas: Special Moves

There's a character named Ness who has appeared in the Smash Bros. series up until now, and Lucas is very similar. They are from the same family of PK users.

But Lucas's physical combat style is quite different. By which I mean, he does not have the same standard moves.

His strong up attack is a mentally-powered flip kick.

He unleashes a PK barrage on the ground with his down smash!

The finish of his back air attack is a meteor smash.

Oh! Is he grabbing the edge with his rope snake?!

This is also quite different from Ness's.

It flies perfectly sideways, even in air.

The flame pillar explodes!

If you charge it up and control it...

You can freeze your opponents!

And even more threatening is his PK Thunder. For those of you unfamiliar with the last game, or the one before that, remember this well.

You guide the PK Thunder with the Control Stick...

And hit yourself with it to launch!

Doing this helps you recover.

The angle you launch at depends upon the position at which the PK Thunder hits you. This launch also makes for a rather powerful attack, so I think it's fine to even try it unexpectedly.

This move absorbs the energy of projectile and other attacks and uses it to recover Lucas's damage. It has a wide range of effectiveness, so give it a try when you get the chance.

If an enemy uses a projectile, that's your chance.
