Smash Bros Cast Ep. 16

Countdown to Smash:

As of 6/22 167 Days

Source-Gaming.com’s translation of Sakurai’s Famitsu Column Vol. 557

The game is built off of pre-existing games, otherwise, the character count would have been ⅓ what it is now

Game speed is increased

“For example, the knockback speed has been increased. Even when launched a short distance, a character will fly off very quickly then suddenly slow down. Reducing the time while incapacitated has helped improve the flow of gameplay. I wanted to include this change in previous entries, but I gave up because it was so easy to lose track of your position, especially on the 3DS. I’ve also increased fighters’ initial jump speed, reduced aerial landing lag, and made a slew of other changes that will accelerate gameplay without making the game itself too “hardcore.””

Damage increased in One on One matches.

Starting with the N64 roster forces players to try more characters similar to how Mario Kart does it.

Stage selection takes place before character selection so you can choose your fighter accordingly

 

Harassment of Sakurai on social media

Unfortunately, some fans of your favorite Wrecking Crew villain have taken to Sakurai’s social media accounts to personally harass him about Waluigi not being a playable character in Smash.

Smash Character Video: Greninja-Prima Guides

Greninja is one of the fastest characters in the game and has good jump height and recovery options. Combine this with its average weight and good range—thanks to Greninja’s water blades—and you can see why Greninja can be quite capable in battle! Use your charged-up Water Shuriken to fight from a distance, and punish from a distance with your ground speed or Shadow Sneak! Don’t get carried away with your speed, though, as your weight is your weakness.
