    Her final smash is putting heels on everyone else which makes everyone trip for the rest if the fight.

    Not gonna lie, I actually think the rocket stilettos look really cool.

    Same. My wife thought they were cool as well. But thats probably just because she wants a pair.

    It almost looks like they're external equipment clipped on to the Zero Suit, which has flat soles.

    anyway, maybe her Final Smash could be a variant of the Shinespark.

    It would almost make sense; Samus's Final Smash takes her firepower to the limit (even if it's not one of the various Hyper Beams, I can still mentally call it that), whereas ZSS's Final Smash could display her strength and agility at their limit.

    Yeah, it would have to be a variant, because normal shinespark would result in either:
    A ) Samus dies, flying straight offscreen
    B ) Samus wins instantly, chaining infinite shinesparks together
    C ) Samus hits the ground directly below her

    Depending on if the level has any slopes to it.

    Nobody's contesting the awesomeness of jet boots. More the shape of these particular jet bots.

    You know... there's a valid reason for jet boots to be heels - more surface area on the rocket for heat dispersal, and it isolates the foot from where the exhaust is coming out.

    Jet boots may be the only form of footwear where heels can be considered practical.

    And if the character were male we wouldn't be justifying jet heels because they'd just be boots.

    No one would be complaining jet boots are unrealistic without heels if they were just boots.

    I'd much prefer if they were just boots

    But if they have to be heels - and I'm going to pretend that this mandate was passed to Sakurai, even though that makes me furious for even more reasons - I'm glad they have rockets

    But they shouldn't be heels because it's still stupid

    If there was a mandate it was probably just in the form of "use the other-m designs" since the suit is also from that game right?

    Right, yeah

    That would be the mandate he was given, probably, if he was given one

    In Raiden's case, his "heels" are half heels and half digitigrade claw-feet.

    Also, since he's pretty much artificial from the teeth down these days, they're really just his feet now, instead of shoes that his feet have to fit into.

    I heard somewhere that the other directors at nintendo get input on how the characters they made look. So Sakamoto got input on ZSS.

    I mean, I don't know how true this is, but it would explain it.

    Sceptile or Torterra would be awesome.

    I would enjoy Torterra if he was done well. Right now I'm just hoping for Mewtwo's return. Though I am damn satisfied with Greninja. He's become my favorite starter and he looks super fun so far.

    I do kind of find the concern over too many Pokemon kind of silly. The series is Nintendo's second biggest, and while their biggest only has "five," that's just because it's grown so huge that some of it's characters have gained their own spin off series.

    From Zero Mission, actually. Unless you mean this particular iteration (I notice this one seems different, somehow); I couldn't say, then.

    I mean that the designs of the power suit and zero suit are both based on the other-m style. Like how in brawl they updated fox to look more like the command design.

    Sceptile would be my preferred starter beside Chesnaught but only because gen three has never had a playable rep.

    Figure Sceptile competes with Greninja for the niche "thin, slashy herpetile-man".

  • EnlongEnlong Registered User regular
    In that case, I'd prefer Torterra, for instead being stocky and smashy.

    I really don't think we're guaranteed a grass starter, or any kind of playable grass 'mon. If we were getting one, it's much more likely it would have been announced along with Charizard and Greninja.

    Beyond the obvious inclusion of Jigglypuff as a secret character, I wouldn't be surprised if this was it for our Pokemon lineup. If we get another, it will be more along the lines of Mewtwo. So, no Grass Starter.

    Watching this analysis, a few things I didn't notice the first time around.

    1. Balloon Fight stage wraps around, no left/right boundary.
    2. Balloon Fight has Balloons icon. Find Mii has a crown icon.

    A lot of weird speculation created by the Direct.

    Out of all the stages, the balloon fight stage really makes me excited.

    Can you believe that we will be playing this game by the summer!?!? (I know it's not the WiiU version yet, but still, we'll know the entire roster by that point!)
