Teaser for the new single-player mode.

So it's basically Melee's Adventure Mode in 1080p! (offer only valid on Wii U) >.>

*knows you were probably joking, but anyway *

Actually, it's likely the Wii U version won't have this mode. Sakurai has described the design philosophy behind the 3DS version as being that it's "your personal training space". As a result, they are trying to incorporate some kind of currency for customisation, as well as more singleplayer content. You can then import your customised...whatever (he hasn't stated whether or not he actually means character customisation) into the Wii U version, which is considered "the tournament stadium".

The 3DS version will still have online play, however. I imagine it may not be as robust, though.

Really? That's... disappointing. I mean, aside from the cutscenes, I really liked that the Subspace Emissary was an alternative for unlocking characters. Because on low difficulty it's easy to breeze through. And in Melee, some of the methods needed to unlock fighters were just nuts. My parents were PISSED when I left the Gamecube running all night so I could unlock Mewtwo. <.<

Take what I'm saying with a pinch of salt - it's early days yet, and Sakurai has been quite vague in terms of what to expect from game modes, especially single-player. He also stressed that certain ideas would be cut if deemed unwise, such as customisation.

And g&w is also hard to get because you actually have to get everyone and then beat their target test but when I wanted to get mewtwo it took me 3 tries to get him because the other 2 times someone randomly died when no one touched my controllers

I suppose it's from the 3DS version of the game.

I underestimated how much time is needed in Pokémon-Aime to get level 2 affection. Geez, it took 40 minutes. But I got me a Sylveon! Too bad I can't use it right now. My team is just too dang balanced level-wise. I've just never gotten 6 Pokémon I like with wide enough type differences this quickly in a Pokémon game. @.@

I think you posted i wrong topic HIR.

Wrong topic, HIR?

Anyway, it's the 15th anniversary of Smash Bros today. This day 15 years ago was when the first game was released in Japan. We haven't gotten anything to celebrate this yet, and today's daily pic is of no relation (it explains Rosalina's meta-game a bit though, which is nice). However, Sakurai did acknowledge it in the comments section of today's pic.

Hoping he is just faking it and will announce something bigger today.

Surely he'll do something more than a single post to celebrate. :S I still stand by my theory that they'll announce the return of one of the characters form the first game. yoshiyoshiyoshi >~>

Well, all of the Smash 64 veterans will never leave the franchise. That much is for sure.

Yoshi will likely be announced when Yoshi's New Island is coming out.

I'm sort of hoping for a general Smash Bros Direct to celebrate the 15th anniversary.

I want Captain Falcon to be announced to reappear today.

I thought they weren't getting rid of any characters...

So apparently these images were leaked, most likely not real. :S Though it would be cool is she was in the game.

I'm ALMOST positive that the first is a highly edited Zelda screenshot. I'll have to check later.

If it is fake, it's a very well done fake. If it's real, then I'm happy for her inclusion. I kinda want her to make it in, despite not playing Uprising yet.

If she's actually in I would be super excited, If that was real my new mains are going to be Pauletena and Pit

i was gonna post that asdfghjkl
I thought the lighting was a little quirky (she looks a little brighter than Mario and the scenery. I'm not an expert on that type of thing though so who knows), but no way does that mean that I wouldn't be excited for her arrival.

I gave my two cents on this over on a Smash forum, so I'll paste my thoughts here:

Quote:

We can go on about how much we think it's fake based on our skepticism alone, but what really matters is looking at already released screenshots.

At first, I thought I saw Zelda screenshots that were similar, but I was mistaken. I checked every other 3DS Battlefield screenshot I could find though. Out of all of them, only one looks to have a strikingly similar background to the solo shot of Palutena:



As you can see, the two shots are taken at near identical angles. However, even then, the bottom left part of the Peach shot is not visible in the Palutena solo shot, and the lighting is also a little bit different between the two shots.

As for the Palutena shot with Mario, I can't find any shots of Mario matching that shot. And yes, I did check the 3DS Facebook page, where they have extra screenshots. Even there, nothing matches up perfectly.

So there is a possibility this is legitimate, from what we can deduce. Also keep in mind that, compared to the likes of Mewthree, not a lot of people would go through the effort of making a fake screenshot of Palutena. Especially not one that looks so good. I can't find any tell tale signs that this is fake, unlike that one screenshot of Mewthree in Smash, that was easy to figure out and prove as fake.

The only thing that gives me any true, logical reason to doubt this is the fact that the bottom screen is not shown off. I mean, if you were going to leak screenshots like this, assuming you actually had your hands on the game for a bit, you might as well show us what's on the bottom screen while you're at it. Even if it is indeed nothing. At least to prove that you haven't just got the 3DS photo viewer with your fake screenshot up! :V

Look at what that website just posted...

So happi there are Kid Icarus related things lately! First that Palutena picture, then Viridi in the stage! Just waiting for Magnus and/or Dark Pit and I'll be allll set. :3

AWESOME!

And I totally think that the Paultena screen shot is no fake!

Oooh Pit gets an Upperdash Arm. (Uprising nerd). Though Finn is definitely fake. He looks absolutely nothing like the other models. And look at the background. There's a yellow line. The only thing that would be (besides background effects) is a fading attack, like Fox/Falco's dash, which leaves a line behind.

Pit sure looks like a real contender with his new moves aka Upperdash Arm and Gaurdian Orbitars

^ ^ ^ Where'd you see the Orbitars?

@awesomerockets and SilverWolf Yeah, I saw the Orbitars and Arm a while back. It's interesting how they're changing stuff so it comes from Uprising. If you know me, I'm a HUGE Kid Icarus fan.

I'm guessing that the neutral special will still be the palutena bow

@awesomerockets This was it.

Screw Palutena I want Magnus.

^Agreed. Since you actually played as him, it would be easier to translate his attacks into a moveset. Of course, given that HAL and Sora were able to give Captain Falcon his glorious moves from nothing but the fact that he drives a super fast race car, I'd say anything's possible. <.<;

Wasn't there a boss fight against Palutena? People on Smashboards keep telling me she had a lot of diverse moves in that fight alone. She was possessed, but the abilities she used were genuinely ones she could perform.
Also, she's a goddess. Not hard to make a moveset out of a Greek goddess.

Honestly, Magnus feels unlikely. From what people tell me (I have not played Uprising yet), Magnus only appears in about three chapters, while Palutena appears in pretty much all of them. And even I can see just from looking at gameplay that he would pretty much play very similarly to Ike. And in general, I feel like there are too many sword-wielding characters (and we likely will get Chrom or Lucina from Fire Emblem anyway).

I feel like Palutena is a much better choice, because she follows the philosophy of the other newcomers - they are all really new and unique in some way. Wii Fit Trainer may be a bit familiar (although all of her attacks are exercises, she is really a new melee fighter at her core), but the other three are really unique and unlike anything we've seen in Smash. And I feel like Palutena would make for an awesome mage character. The only characters remotely like this already are Peach and Zelda, and even there it's not very apparent. And while Sakurai sort of painted Rosalina as one in a screenshot that was a subtle Final Fantasy reference, she's really a puppeteer character. I feel like Palutena could have tons of ranged spells and stuff, as well as using some of the new weapons in Uprising that Pit doesn't use in Smash. Plus, she's got a huge shield, which would be useful.

Plus, Sakurai said that he wants more female characters, and a lot of people liked Palutena for her really quirky personality (may also help that she was voiced by Ali Hillis). Sakurai has also said that he prefers to include characters that don't typically fight, which fits Palutena perfectly (she's capable of fighting by herself, but she doesn't normally do so).

Yeah I agree.She would be the better choice to represent the Kid Icarus series.As you said we have may to many sword wielding characters. Plus now that we have seen that Viridi stage there is much higher chance that a new Kid Icarus character will be coming.

No such thing as a percent chance when it comes to a game character. It's all up to the developers.
