Super Smash Bros. for Wii U / 3DS may have had one Square Enix character in Cloud, but Sora from Kingdom Hearts – another much-requested addition – was left off the roster. Fans are now looking to remedy that with a new skin.

Using Shulk as a base, it’s now possible to play as Sora in the Wii U version of Smash Bros. via modding. You can nab the download here. And for a closer look, watch the video below.

A part of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U’s Tournament mode is ending very soon. On September 30, the Regular Tourneys feature will no longer be accessible. You’ll simply see a blank area in this section once the date arrives.

Keep in mind that you’ll still be able to make your own tourneys. Nintendo apologizes to those disappointed by today’s news.

It’s been awhile since Super Smash Bros. for Wii U hit store shelves, but folks are still finding some interesting tidbits about the game. Random Talking Bush has come across two trophy changes in the Japanese release.

First, Lyn’s trophy was modified a bit. In the gallery below you’ll see that her skirt spacing was lessened, and the legs were darkened near the hips compared to the US version. Wonder Pink also had a trophy change, but it was much more drastic. She actually has an entirely different pose.

With the final piece of DLC having been released a while ago, it seemed like the latest entry in the Smash Bros. series was completed and would be seeing no more updates. However, both the 3DS and the Wii U version of the game will be updated to version 1.1.6 soon, Nintendo has announced.

As with previous Smash Bros. patches, Nintendo isn’t offering any detailed patch notes, only promising to offer an improved game experience. However, judging by the file sizes alone it seems like the patches on both platforms will bring about a significant amount of changes. You will need 61MB of free space on Wii U and a whopping 325MB on 3DS to apply the patch.

Wavedashing, a well-known Smash Bros. technique, hasn’t been seen since Melee. However, players are now starting to explore some “bidou” moves in the series’ latest entry that is reminiscent of it in some ways.

To execute these techniques, a Wii U Pro Controller is preferred, and most buttons need to be remapped. For the most part, it relies on pressing and holding the special move button.

Kotaku explains the benefits of bidou in a new post today:

Bidou opens up the possibility to make perfect pivots easier, pull off crouching perfect pivots, sliding spot dodges, standing dash attacks, and achieve frame accuracy on wall jump attacks. It also makes dash dancing much easier and opens up a brand new tech called “quick step,” which is an even smaller movement than the perfect pivot. What that means in short: reduced lag, better momentum control, and being able to get moves out when you need them.

Here’s a look at bidou from My Smash Corner:

A big question here is how useful bidou will be in the end. Will it be patched in the future?
