Wasn't expectin' a 2014 release. Still don't, as I've yet to forget how many Ninty titles have been delayed in recent years... includin' a certain title Sakurai has directed.

Thing's bigger than Spamus' Charge Shot. I really hope Lucario has some proper KO moves when at a high percent, as maybe then I'd sub/main 'em. If what Sakurai said was true, and an aura-bolstered Lucario actually is a threat, just might be able to play 'em.

... If I'm right-**** at playin' 'em for three Smash games in a row, I'm flippin' tables.

Pokemon Amie is a hell of a thing. All dem PokePuffs did'em good.

Actually, Amie doesn't boost stats. /buzzkill

Pic of the day. When Lucario shoots out Aura from its hands to fly with ExtremeSpeed, you can control its flight direction. If Lucario's Aura is fully charged, it can fly extremely far, so be careful not to accidentally launch out of the area.

So Lucario's Recovery gets longer with damage?

[STRIKE]Now if only his normal attacks' hitboxes will also get bigger.[/STRIKE] That's a decent buff, as Lucario's vBrawl recovery certainly left much to be desired. Now if only it'l also do damage... coughcoughprojectmkoffingweezing

That's some antiquity hax right there.

Pic of the day. Palkia appeared in the Spear Pillar stage of the previous game…but now it's coming out of a Poké Ball?! Here's Palkia's signature move, Spacial Rend!

 

[Neosquid]

Ah, that's good news. It makes it more likely that pre gen five Pokemon still have a chance to be new Poke Ball Pokemon. On the other hand, it means that Spear Pillar won't be returning as a retro stage. How unfortunate, I liked Spear Pillar.

 

[Splash_King]

I reckon Spear Pillar will be replaced by somethin' like N's Castle, with legendaries creatin' hazards. I'd specify somewhere in Gen 6, but I somehow doubt Team Flare's Geosenge base will be made into a Xerneas/Yveltal stage... can't see any other location neither. Perhaps the Tower of Mastery, but I don't think said legendaries would fit in there.

 

[Neosquid]

Remember this picture.

Spoiler

Still unsure what to make of it.

 

[Splash_King]

Oh right, forgot 'bout that.

... That's Pikachu's normal on-stage standing animation, so I reckon it's safe to say Xerneas is on the stage as well, lookin' away. Not that this narrows down whether or not it's a Pokeball 'mon or stage hazards; y'all should recall Dialga 'n Palkia would occasionally jump onto the stage and attack your life points directly.

 

[Neosquid]

The fact that they aimed the camera upwards makes it seem like they might be attempting to conceal the identity of the stage...key word being might, of course. It makes sense, at least.

 

[Splash_King]

That, or it was just to highlight the X-shape of Xerneas' horns, and Y-shape of Pikachu's ears.
