Today’s screenshot touches on another minor detail, this time pertaining to how the amount of damage taken affects character models. Previously as percentage got higher on a character in the Smash Bros. series, their models don’t change but as Sakurai explains:
Characters that have heavy damage slowly start to emit steam. When your opponent starts to get nice and smoky, give ’em a solid attack!

Under normal circumstances, the tweet above would seem harmless. But we’ve all heard about how Nintendo plans to show off the next Zelda game for Wii U at E3 next month.
Could Zelda Williams be tied into that somehow? Obviously speculation on my part, but we all know how important the Zelda franchise is to Zelda Williams. Her name comes from the series, after all!
Along with the screenshots above, we have an additional tidbit about the game. You can alter the Pokemon you use by touching the touchscreen for each Pokemon, or press the X, Y, or A buttons.
