A scan from the latest Famitsu has revealed that the Goddess  Sword herself, Fi, will be a playable character in Hyrule Warriors. There are a few details that have come out with the scan:

• Link and Zelda will both be able to wear their Skyward Sword costumes
• The Ball and Chain from Twilight Princess will be in-game
• Ghirahim and the Imprisoned will also make an appearance in Hyrule Warriors

Little else is known outside of what’s available from the scan, but no doubt more information will be surface in the coming days.

Palutena gets the spotlight twice today as Sakurai shows off her huge up-smash attack:

I talked about an attack with a far reach in yesterday’s post, but it didn’t compare to Palutena’s up smash attack! No joke, it reaches really far. It reached so far in this shot that even the rocketbarrels got blown up.

However, it appears it’s not without drawbacks:

That said, if we’re talking just about range, even that can’t beat Palutena’s power, Heavenly Light. It has quite a damage field. However, this is a no-flinch attack, which means the opponents won’t react to the damage!
