Just noticed this in the Greninja trailer:


Anyone have an idea at what stage this is supposed to be?

Man, Shulk being in this has me way too excited right now, especially with how awesome his victory theme is.

I met someone who does competitive Smash recently and I brought up Smash 4, and he said something like "yeah, they changed the edge guarding, so...we all know it's not going to be the game we want" and I'm like

You can't just

Work out new strategies around the new edge grabbing mechanics

My experience with competitive players talking about Smash 4 has pretty much been the opposite. While initially they were taken aback by the changes they were generally pretty excited at discovering how the changes will affect everything, like how there should be no more ledge camping due to the lack of invincibility when re-grabbing the ledge.

I'll give you L-Cancelling, but how the hell is Wavedashing counter-intuitive? You airdash into the ground in a certain direction which is exactly how the airdodge worked in Melee. How was airdodging in the direction you held on the joystick counter-intuitive?

Wavedashing may be pretty intuitive once you get good at it, but learning how to do it is not anywhere near intuitive in comparison to the rest of the game (though it does make Marth's ground game a hell of a lot of fun). Now if it had its own separate, dedicated button (like direction and L) then it would be much more intuitive, and would definitely make higher level Melee easier to approach.

Just so everyone knows, none of the leaks have come from a copy of the game. The only true leaks that have come out so far have been from ESRB review footage, so anyone talking about things you could only know by playing the game is lying.

Also the whole final five thing was revealed to be made up by the guy who originally posted the screens and clips from the review footage (which was leaked to him by someone else). Basically the only basis for the final five is that they could fit five more characters into the CSS.

Sorry to break up character/logo discussion, but it is looking like there will be a way of canceling out of landing lag in Smash 4. From what it looks like, instead of inputting L when you land all you need to do is throw out an attack and (seemingly) all landing lag is canceled.

This can be seen with Mario in this gif:

and in this gif of Lucina:

So basically L-canceling is in the game, but it is no longer the needless technical barrier it used to be.
