Check out the super sweet Cherry H-3 Nozzlenose. The Splash Wall sub weapon lets you leverage the great range of the main, while the Bubbler is perfect for turning the tables in a pinch.
As Sheldon puts it: “It’s super cute with its fruity color scheme and cherry-themed sticker!”

Japan had trophy changes for Lyn and Wonder Pink in Smash Bros. Wii U
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 80 Comments
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.
