Super Smash Bros.

Tired of being caught in infinite combos? Sick of your friends mashing their way to victory with the “A” button? Then Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai has just the slight gameplay tweak for you! Sakurai posted on Miiverse:

Pic of the day. Now consecutive standard attacks will always transition into a finishing move. This is Fox’s finishing kick after his standard combo attack.

It’s official – Diddy Kong is back for another round in the latest Smash Bros., but his initial announcement didn’t give much information into how this returning brawler’s moves would be mixed up. Thankfully, director Masahiro Sakurai is here with yet another screenshot and some Miiverse-posted insight on Diddy’s rocketbarrels. Sakurai posted:

The twin rocketbarrels are back, now with the ability to launch along more horizontal trajectories. They can also come off when opponents hit them mid-boost.

Along with this image of the recently announced fighter, Little Mac, director Masahiro Sakurai posted the following to Miiverse:

Pic of the day. As shown in Little Mac’s debut video, here is the height difference between Samus and Little Mac. He’s used those mighty green gloves to punch out many challengers bigger than himself.

Along with this image of Super Smash Bros.’ new bottle item, director Masahiro Sakurai posted the following message on Miiverse:

Hey look, a bottle!! This is a special item that can even heal fighters who have accumulated over 100% damage.

What is it with Bowser and fairies trapped in bottles lately?

Little Mac is joining the Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS roster, it’s been revealed. A new trailer debuting on today’s Nintendo Direct confirms the news. We’ll have the video here shortly.

Along with this image, director Masahiro Sakurai posted the following to Miiverse:

Pic of the day. Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day…and the day the new Nintendo Direct airs! It will stream in Japan at 7 AM so it’s going to be a very early morning for us…!

I think it’s safe to say that tomorrow’s Smash Bros. update will be a bit more exciting that this one.

In case there was any doubt that the Smash Bros. series’ iconic and deadly Home-run bat would be featured in the latest instalment, director Masahiro Sakurai confirmed the return of the item with the following message on Miiverse:

Pic of the day. The Home-run Bat in this game is black! And it’s so powerful that your eyes might bug out!!

Along with today’s screenshot, director Masahiro Sakurai posted the following message to Miiverse:

Pic of the day. You missed me, because you attacked my illusory copy from my Double Team move!
