Smash Bros Cast Episode 19 Countdown to Smash: As of 7/13 146 Days Smash News 7/8-7/12 Smash Blog Marth Fighter 21 Marth is an exceptional swordfighter with a long reach. He'll do the most damage with attacks using the tip of his sword, so spacing is an important factor. Kirby Fighter 6 Kirby's ability to copy other fighters is totally unique! While he is light and can be launched easily, he can also jump up to five times in the air, so he has  great recovery. Look for his new Stone transformation, too. MegaMan Music Alolan Raichu He rides his tail and rushes the enemy. Since he moves freely around the stage, Alolan Racihu may be a bit difficult to dodge. MegaMan Fighter 46 Mega Man's standard and special moves use weapons copied from the bosses he's fought throughout the Mega Man series, so he has more projectiles than any other fighter. His Final Smash now features Proto Man and Bass! Pit Fighter 28 Pit is a well-balanced, well-rounded character with a defensive special that nullifies long distance attacks

Smash Bros Cast Ep.18 Smash News Countdown to Smash: As of 7/6 153 Days Washington Post Article on Smash Sakari on audience focus “When you talk about audience, I don’t really think too much about the audience per se,” Sakurai told The Washington Post through a translator ahead of the game’s unveiling at E3. “I feel like a game, at the end of the day, is about playing the game. But if we focus too much on the top level players -- or the audience -- then the game skews a little bit too much on the technical side.” Bringing the community together As of 2017, in terms of viewership and entrants, Melee and Smash 4 tournaments have been comparable. According to Newzoo, Melee and Smash 4 ranked 11th and 12th respectively in terms of viewership, with a combined 16.8 million hours viewed on the Amazon-owned streaming platform Twitch. [Note: The Washington Post is owned by Jeffrey P. Bezos, CEO of Amazon.] If those audiences were in fact combined, the Smash scene would rank 9th, well above Capcom’s Street Fighter

Smash Bros Cast Ep. 16 Smash News 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 c

Smash News  GoNintendo.com is reporting that Sakurai hasn't been killing himself with the latest Smash he’s only working 10-10 fives days a week.  Read full article here. In the game industry, there’s a lot of overtime, all-nighters, and coming in on holidays! It’s a practice that has been occurring for a long time. That suddenly changed in recent years, though. Actually, if you look at other companies and even myself, 10:00 p.m. is when everyone goes home. Or rather, maybe we’re getting shut out? I go to work at 10:00 a.m., so I usually spend about 10 hours working each day. In the past, it wasn’t that uncommon to work until 1 or 2 in the morning so compared to those days, I’m taking it easy.

Smash Bros Cast Episode 6     What the pros want from Smash for the Switch  From NintendoLife article Knockback seems to be a hot topic Thinkamana moderator for the Smashboards forum had this to say, “The oversight is that rage should never have applied to base knockback, as that messes up the consistency of low-% combos; this means that with some characters, the person losing might have fewer viable options,” Dabuz, a long time top ten Smash 4 player had this to say, “It's a great mechanic because it prevents fishing for KOs at specific damage percentages, but it scales largely with the base knockback of a move (that means the amount of knockback a move delivers at zero percent, basically.) This makes multi-hitting moves such as Zero-Suit Samus’ 'up-B' attack extremely powerful because high base knockback ensures one hit leads into all of its 'hits', which causes the opponent to pop out and die at very low percentages, largely due to rage.” Thinkaman’s solution is, “Applying rage to only knockback growth (l

Episode 5  Smash 4 History Developer: Bandai Namco and Sora Ltd Release Date: 3DS Japan September 13, 2014, US October 3, 2014, and EU October 4, 2014 WiiU US November 21, 2014, EU November 29, 2014, Japan December 6, 2014 Development   During E3 2011, Smash was announced for the WiiU and the 3DS. Development for the game didn’t start until October of that year. At E3 2012 there was no mention of the game which confused and disappointed some fans because of it being announced a year earlier.  Shortly after E3 during a Nintendo Direct, it was announced that Bandai Namco was along with Sora, Sakurai’s company would be developing the game. At E3 2013, Sakurai began posting photos of the game regularly on the miiverse. At first they seemed to be random screenshots with no info, but eventually, that changed and he began including more info. December 5th, 2014, was the last post and you can see all the archived Miiverse posts here. July 2nd, 2012 Sakurai posted a whiteboard drawing to Twitter showing off a numbe

Episode 4   Smash Bros Brawl History Developer: HAL Laboratories, Sora, Game Arts, Monolith Soft, Paon and Intelligent Systems. Development began in October 2005 Release Date: January 31st 2008 in Japan. March 9th, 2008 in North America. Australia was June 26th and Europe was June 27th 2008. Development   In 2005 at a pre E3 press conference President of Nintendo Satoru Iwata announced that the next Smash game was already in development for the Wii. Masahiro Sakurai had HAL back in 2003 and was surprised to learn of its development, because Iwata had told him he would be in charge of the next instalment following Melee. Iwata invited Sakurai to his hotel room in LA and ask him to direct Brawl. According to Did You KNow Gaming Iwata told Sakurai if he didn’t join the team they would just re-release Melee with online play. Sakurai was on board and Nintendo hired an outside studio who according to Sakurai had played excessive amounts of Melee. Brawl’s official trailer was at E2 May 10, 2006. Sakurai told IGN th

Smash Bros Cast Episode 3 Smash Bros Melee History Developer: HAL Laboratories Release Date: Japan November 21, 2001. North America December 3rd, 2001 shortly after the GameCube launched. Europe and Australia were the following year on May 24th, 2002 and 31st, 2002. Development   Masahiro Sakurai was back in the driver seat for the sequel to Smash 64 and it would push him to a point that he referred to as destructive. It was the biggest project that he had ever led and because of that he took zero holiday’s off and had little to no weekends. He referred to Melee as “the sharpest game” in the series. With this game releasing so close to the launch of the GameCube the team really wanted to show the power of the system, so they worked with three different animation studios to complete the opening sequence.

Ep.2 Is all about the history of Smash 64! History of Smash 64 Developed by HAL Laboratory under the direction of Masahiro Sakurai    Originally only planned to be released Japan under the name Nintendo All-Star Great Fray Smash Brothers Release date January 21st, 1999 in Japan, April 26th, 1999 for the US, and EU was November 19, 1999 Sakurai began development for a fighting game called Dragon King The Fighting Game. After showing Satoru Iwata he was on board. Knowing that fighting games didn’t sell well Sakurai used Nintendo characters without permission, Mario, Samus, Donkey Kong and Fox. before presenting the game to Nintendo higher-ups he made sure to present a balanced game and it was approved. Marketing this game was like nothing we had seen before the first commercial featured a live-action Pikachu, Yoshi, Mario, and Donkey skipping through a field that quickly turns into an all-out mascot brawl. Sprinkled throughout the commercial was gameplay showcasing the characters fighting and I couldn’t believe
